Your responsibilities
In this role you will be part of the LHCb Detector Group (LBD) in the Experimental Physics Department (EP). The LHCb experiment, one of the four large experiments at the LHC, is specialized in investigating the tiny difference between matter and anti-matter and searching for hints of new physics.
This position is dedicated to the evaluation of the radiation environment the LHCb detector will have to operate at following its future upgrades. These upgrades will allow the detector to make more precise measurements and operate at much higher proton-proton luminosities. The latter implies a corresponding increase of the radiation load the detectors will be subjected to. Changes in sub-detectors materials will influence the radiation environment in a non-trivial manner. The radiation impact, and potential mitigations, are an essential ingredient in the choice of technologies being considered.
In this position you will:

What we offer
About us
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter – fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.
