Offer Description

LIP opens a call for a Research Student Fellowship (BI – Master) for participation in the YoctoLHC project: Yoctosecond imaging of QCD collectivity using jet observables” funded by the European Research Council (ERC) in the Horizon 2020 program (ERC-2018-ADG) with reference 835105.

Work plan:

The YoctoLHC project, led by Professor Carlos Salgado from the University of Santiago de Compostela/Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Enerxias (IGFAE) and developed in partnership with the LIP Phenomenology Group and the University of Jyväskylä, aims to characterize the initial moments of plasma formation of quarks and gluons in heavy ion collisions from changes in the structure of hadronic jets.

The selected candidate will improve the description of the analytic ingredients needed to develop an in-medium parton shower of higher accuracy.

The working plan will be carried out at LIP-Lisbon under the supervision of Dr. Guilherme Milhano.
