Your responsibilities
MPGDs play a crucial role in shaping the future of experiments due to their achievable performance over large areas. With the exploration of innovative concepts and advancements in manufacturing techniques, a diverse array of options exists, pushing performances to the limit and adapting these technologies very well to a diversified set of requirements.
This position is dedicated to designing and testing novel MPGD solutions that are relevant in the context of the CERN EP strategic R&D program on technologies for future experiments. The work is done in collaboration with the MPT workshop, where new technological and manufacturing solutions are explored. In particular, new possibilities arising from the implementation of resistive layers within these detectors will be studied, benefiting from the new magneto-sputtering machine present at the MPT workshop.
In this role, the Graduate will join the Gaseous Detector Development (GDD) team of the Detector Technology (DT) Group of the Experimental Physics (EP) Department. The GDD team is at the forefront of gaseous and micro-pattern gaseous detector (MPGD) technologies, designing and testing innovative detectors based on Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs), Micromegas, Micro-RWELL, THGEMs, and more. This project will have strong synergies with the research programme of the newly established DRD1 Collaboration, specifically in the context of Work Package 1 (muon systems) and Working Group 7 (Characterization and Test Facilities).
Specifically, 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.
