Description du sujet de thèse
PhS thesis subject Search for long-lived multi-charged particles in the CMS experiment
This PhD project will take place within the CMS collaboration and will focus on the analysis of proton-proton collision data from LHC Runs 2 and 3.
The selected candidate will develop methods to search for exotic, long-lived, multi-charged particles predicted by several classes of models beyond the Standard Model. These searches will require the use of ionization measurements and timing information from the various components of the CMS detector.
In addition, other instrumentation activities related to the tracker, the instrument located at the center of the experiment, will be carried out during the PhD.
Contexte de travail
The selected candidate will be based at the “Institut Pluridisciplinaire Hubert Curien” (IPHC) in Strasbourg, within the Subatomic Research Department.
The institute (IPHC), a joint research unit supervised by both the CNRS and the University of Strasbourg (UMR7178), is a multidisciplinary laboratory where research teams from diverse scientific backgrounds develop programs centered around scientific instrumentation.
The IPHC has a total staff of 406 people, including 102 PhD students.
The selected candidate will join the CMS team at IPHC, composed of 11 (teacher-)researchers, 3 PhD students, and 1 postdoctoral researcher.
The candidate will become a member of the CMS collaboration and will be required to travel to CERN, near Geneva, throughout the duration of the PhD.
The PhD student will be affiliated with the Doctoral School of Physics and Physical Chemistry (ED182).
He/She will have access to a university restaurant, partial reimbursement of transportation costs, an employee benefits committee, and the opportunity to attend training sessions related to the position.
Requirements:
• Master's degree in subatomic physics
• Skills: organizational abilities, rigor, critical thinking, autonomy, initiative, and collaborative work
Applicants must submit a CV, a cover letter, and their Master's transcripts
