Location of studies (in Hungarian): Eötvös Loránd University, Faculty of Science, Institute of Physics (with visits to CERN, Geneva, Switzerland) Abbreviation of location of studies: ELTE
Description of the research topic:
"Neutrinos are one of the most mysterious members of the Standard Model, a framework for describing fundamental forces and particles in nature. Due to their elusiveness, measurements of fundamental physics quantity, like neutrino-nucleus cross-section, face experimental challenge. One way to overcome such an experimental challenge is to use a powerful neutrino beam.
The Tokai-To-Kamioka (T2K) experiment is the World’s leading accelerator-based neutrino experiment in the field. An intense neutrino beam is generated at the J-PARC accelerator complex (the east coast of Japan). The neutrino beam travels 280 m towards the T2K Near Detector (the ND280 detector) that is a magnetized multipurpose particle detector. Student who conducts this research topic will work on studies of neutrino-nucleus interactions using high-statistic T2K ND280 data. Students will have opportunities to travel to Japan for ND280 detector operation and will summarize her/his study as a Ph.D dissertation which will bring a new insight in the field of experimental neutrino physics."
Required language skills: English Further requirements: Experience of computer programming (preferably C++), basic knowledge of particle physics. Student will join the experimental neutrino physics group at ELTE and travel regularly to the T2K experiment at J-PARC in Tokai, Japan.
