About the project
The NExT Institute proposes a project on the `HL-LHC upgrade of the CMS hardware trigger and searches for new physics’. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment will upgrade its Level 1 trigger system for High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) operation.
The upgraded system will, for the first time, be able to perform sophisticated particle reconstruction in hardware using complex algorithms implemented in firmware.
You will work on this challenging trigger, developing algorithms and realising them in hardware. You will also perform an analysis searching for new particles predicted by beyond the Standard Model theories with the current data and evaluate the capabilities that the HL-LHC upgrade will enable. Machine learning techniques will be utilised throughout this work. This project combines hardware, physics analysis and theoretical aspects of particle physics.
The research will be carried out in the context of the NExT Institute, with base at the University of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 and affiliations to the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and CERN, on a project at the interface between theory and experiment in an inter-disciplinary and multi-sited environment.
Training will be carried out in the context of the NExT Institute PhD School, as well as GRADnet, the Graduate School of the South East Physics network.
There is the possibility of a secondment to the Particle Physics Department at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL-PPD), as well as a Long Term Attachment (LTA) to CERN.
