Job description:
Topic: Commissioning of the Belle II experiment and analysis of the first data
Description:
University of Strasbourg offers a postdoctoral position to work on the commissioning of the Belle II international experiment and to analyse first e+e- collisions delivered by SuperKEKB starting in 2018. The proposed work will be conducted at IPHC Strasbourg in the Belle II team.
The Belle II physics program is based on measurements performed with an unprecedented precision, relying on an excellent knowledge and control of the SuperKEKB nano-beam induced background. The Strasbourg group proposes to study this background during the BEAST commissioning phase of the Belle II experiment in 2018, analysing unique information provided by the PLUME detector. PLUME is a standalone mini-tracking system composed of CMOS sensors equiping 2 devices (featuring 16 millions of pixels) placed in the Belle II inner tracking volume during BEAST. Background hit rates will be measured, and track parameters will be reconstructed to disentangle the different single beam and beam-beam background processes and validate the corresponding simulation. The successful candidate will be in charge of the operation of the PLUME detector and he/she will lead the background study.
In addition to this work, the postdoctoral fellow will participate to the preparation of the Belle II physics analyses. In particular, the Strasbourg group focuses on the search for manifestation of physics beyond the Standard Model in the time dependent CP asymmetry of radiative b decays, namely the B→Kresγ channel.
Practical details:
The postdoctoral position is funded for 18 months. The preferred starting date is September or October 2017. Review of applications will start immediately and continue until the position is filled.
The position is based at IPHC (Strasbourg, France), with frequent visits to KEK in Japan.
The monthly gross salary is 2671.62-3868.47 € depending on postdoctoral experience.
Required qualifications:
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in particle physics at the time of appointment (the defence date being not earlier than January 2013), and should be able to communicate in English. Experience in detector operation and physics analysis will be an asset.
Application:
A letter of motivation outlining relevant experience and goals, a CV and at least 2 letters of recommendation should be sent by email to Isabelle Ripp-Baudot (Belle II PI at IPHC).
