Job Description
Thesis Subject
As with most next-generation detectors, the ISRS spectrometer will be cooled without cryogenic fluid, using a cryogenerator instead. The objectives of the thesis are, on the one hand, to develop a multiphysical model of the heat pipe used to cool the magnet and, on the other hand, to create a digital twin enabling the simulation of the heat pipe's behaviour under transient conditions. The modelling tool must be capable of capturing the dynamics of the physical processes at play at low temperatures, a regime in which the physical properties of materials exhibit non-linear behaviour.
The building blocks of the overall model will be validated experimentally at the APC or IJClab using the experimental tools developed within the CryoMat platform and at the DRTBT laboratory (Detection of Radiation at Very Low Temperatures).
Your Work Environment
As part of the development of a new type of superconducting coil mass spectrometer for ISOLDE at CERN, we are offering a joint PhD supervision opportunity (Université Paris-Cité – Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) to be carried out at two laboratories: the APC (Paris) and the CSIC-IEM (Madrid). The thesis topic concerns the modelling of the thermo-hydraulic behaviour of heat pipes used for cooling the magnet.
This model will therefore serve as a tool that can be used to optimise low-temperature instruments, in particular highly sensitive cryogenic detectors capable of detecting radiation ranging from X-rays to millimetre wavelengths.
