Field of Interest:hep-ph
Experiments:CERN-LHC-ATLAS
Deadline: 2016-06-10
Region: Europe
Job description:
The ATLAS-experiment is the largest detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, in Geneva. There we study the smallest blocks of the Universe, i.e. the elementary particles, and the forces between them. All are described by the Standard Model (SM) of Particle Physics. In 2012, the Higgs boson was discovered at the LHC. The Higgs boson is a fundamental particle predicted by the electroweak theory and it was the last particle to be discovered in the framework of the SM. However, recent results in our field of research indicate that the Universe cannot be properly described by the SM. We will, through detailed studies of the properties of the Higgs boson, as well as search for new particles and deviations from the SM, study new physics, beyond the SM. We are looking for a person interested in experimental measurements with good knowledge in particle physics, programming and detector technology, who can contribute to improving the analysis and instrumentation of the ATLAS experiment, thereby allowing us to do pioneering discoveries. The main focus of the announced position will be on development of the Inner Strip Tracker of ATLAS in preparation for High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). More information about ATLAS activities in Uppsala can be found on http://www.physics.uu.se/en/hep/atlas.
