Jobbeschreibung

The project focuses on advanced beam dynamics studies. Building on beam tests at the LHC completed in 2025 as part of theTWOCRYSTexperiment, the work will analyse data from a fixed-target setup using bent crystals. You will support studies for a future experiment, including evaluating required machine modifications and timelines.

Working with detector and instrumentation teams, you will investigate beam-matter interactions, crystal channeling, and background sources. After additional data-taking in 2026, you will analyse beam measurements and assess future performance, combining modelling, simulation, and experimental data contributing to the Physics Beyond Colliders initiative at CERN.
