Offer Description
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.
We are on a Quest. A Journey into discovery like no other. Bring your expertise to our unique work and develop your knowledge and skills at pace. Join world-class subject matter experts on unique projects, in a Quest for greater knowledge and deeper understanding.
Begin your CERN Quest. Take Part!
Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
Job Description
Your responsibilities
You will be part of :
- The Beams department, responsible for the beam generation, acceleration, diagnostics, controls and performance optimization for the LHC and its injector accelerators.
- The Accelerator and Beam Physics Group, which is responsible for studying and understanding the beam dynamics over the complete CERN Accelerator Complex through theoretical, simulation and experimental studies. The group provides input and support for machine operations, devising settings and scenarios to optimize the machine performance. It is also responsible for working out concepts and ideas for future accelerators.
As an Applied Physicist, you will contribute to the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project. This project aims at an order of magnitude increase of the integrated luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). To reach this goal, a careful assessment and control of potential detrimental effects on the beam is necessary. Among these, two collective effects limit the current LHC and hence the baseline parameters of High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC): impedance and e-cloud effects.
Currently, these two collective effects limit the baseline parameter. To reach our goals, these effects have to be assessed and mitigated.
The position involves both software development skills and theoretical beam physics knowledge. Presentations and publications will be strongly encouraged.
In this position, you will:
- Assess limitations and identify mitigations for both effects (impedance and e-cloud effects) in view of the HL-LHC beam parameters;
- Improve the current forecasting model and assessment tool for the impedance effect and mitigating strategies;
- Perform test at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) to improve our knowledge of the impact of crab cavities;
- Validate and refine the modelling of the e-cloud effects;
- Execute measurements in the LHC to ensure reliable predictions;
- Perform multibunch simulations using the state-of-the-art codes such as XSuite, PyHEADTAIL, PyECLOUD and DELPHI/e-DELPHI;
- Improve code when needed e.g. on the Vlasov solvers' side to allow the simulation of complex filling schemes for the bunch train.
