Field of Interest:hep-ex
Experiments:CERN-LHC-ATLAS
Deadline: 2015-09-15
Region: Europe
Job description:
The ATLAS-LPC team is heavily involved in physics analyses related to the top quark, in detector operation and in detector development for the futur high luminosity running period of the LHC (HL-LHC). The physics probed by the team covers the Higgs boson sector via the search for ttbarH production as well as sectors beyond the SM via well-motivated searches in the top quark sector (W' ->tb, top+mET, ttbar ttbar, tt, t+mET). Jet reconstruction being a key point for top physics, the team plays a leading role in the ATLAS hadronic calorimeter, from the detector operation to a R\&D activity dedicated to the extreme HL-LHC data taking conditions.
The proposed project focuses on the search for new physics in final state with same-sign lepton pairs and b-jets. The successful candidate is expected to play a leading role in the analysis and interpretation of same-sign lepton pairs data collected by ATLAS in the context of dark matter search. This project includes a large experimental component (background modeling, sensitivity optimisation, statistical analysis) but also a phenomenological component (study of theoretical models). Depending on the candidate profile and tastes, contributions to the detector R&D is also possible. The position will be based at LPC with frequent trips at CERN.
