ABOUT THE ROLE AND A SUMMARY OF KEY DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
The student will join the ISIS muon group where they will be supported in learning the fundamentals of how beams of charged particles, such as positive muons, can be simulated and how particle beams can be manipulated for use in materials science experiments at large scale facilities. There will be opportunities to learn core particle physics simulation tools such as Geant4 and G4beamline, to build a familiarity with how to process simulation data to draw key scientific conclusions, and to gain an understanding of muon experiments and instrument design. The student will also be encouraged to participate in experiments that aim to test our existing simulation results by measuring prototype muon slowing cells using the muon beam at ISIS.
THE KEY RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PROJECT ARE AS FOLLOWS:
- Work together with ISIS scientists to simulate and optimise a new low energy muon beamline and instrument at ISIS. This will involve developing an understanding of how to use Geant4 and G4beamline to simulate charged particle beams.
- Based on the simulation results, quantify how efficiently the beamline can slow muons for use in materials science experiments.
- Work with ISIS and visiting scientists on any related experiments being carried out during the placement.
