ESS
The Accelerator Division at ESS is responsible for the design, construction, commissioning and operation of the ESS accelerator. The pulsed superconducting linac, to be built in Lund, will produce a 5 MW average power proton beam, driving the world's most powerful neutron source. The Beam Physics Section is responsible for the study of the dynamics of the protons in the linac, development of the physics software applications for the control room and leading the commissioning and operation of the ESS linac.
Description of the project
We are currently looking for a postdoc to work with a European project in accelerator development for a large-scale neutrino physics project based on the use of the particle accelerator facility for the European Spallation Source (ESS), currently being built in Lund, Sweden. The main objective of the project ESSnuSB, which stands for ESS neutrino Super-Beam is to measure charge-Parity violation in leptons by studying the asymmetry in neutrino oscillations between matter and anti-matter. To achieve this, we need to expand the accelerator complex at ESS by adding an accumulator ring, where the pulses from the ESS linac are compressed. The compressed pulses will be sent to a target where the neutrino super-beam is formed. The neutrino oscillation parameters will be studied in a large detector, located about 360 km from the source. The successful candidate will be involved in the work with designing and evaluating the H- linac, transfer line to the accumulator and with the proton accumulator ring itself.
The work is organized in a European consortium with partners at, for example, ESS in Sweden, Strasbourg in France, and CERN in Switzerland. The successful candidate will work with a team of experienced researchers and scientific staff and acquire broad experience in accelerator physics, in magnet and radio-frequency technologies. Hence, we are looking for a highly-motivated candidate who has an excellent record of studies and a broad background in physics or engineering.
Job Responsibilities
• Analysis of the beam lattices of existing high-power proton and ion accelerators
• Consolidation of the transfer line linac-to-ring design
• H- injection studies for the accumulator ring
• Design and beam dynamics simulations for the accumulator ring
• Documentation of ongoing work, writing of academic articles and technical reports
• Active participation in group meeting and presentation of well-documented results
Requirements
The applicant must have a doctoral degree, at the start of employment, in physics or a related
area, with experience in accelerator physics and, preferably, beam dynamics of high intensity and space charge dominated beams. Excellent capabilities to perform independent research shall be demonstrated through publications in peer-reviewed journals and/or at important conferences in the accelerator domain. Solid knowledge of particle tracking and beam optics codes is an advantage.
The successful candidate must have demonstrated:
• Solid understanding of the dynamics of charged particle beams;
• Knowledge of basic accelerator technology
• Knowledge of lattice design
• Successful studies in multi-particle systems
The successful candidate must be:
• Skilled in high-quality academic writing
• Capable to express yourself in a clear and structured manner
• Capable of preparing clear and concise summaries of ongoing work
• Be able to document the workflow in a way that is searchable and easy to understand for other group members
Meriting skills include knowledge in:
• Programming and data analysis (e.g. Python, Matlab)
• Experience working with MadX, (py)Orbit, XSuite or any other lattice design code
• Experience in simulation of high intensity and space charge dominated beams
