Offer Description
LIP opens a call for selection of fellows for one Research Student Fellowship (BI Master) for participation in the project “DUNE”, in the framework of the program “Financiamento plurianual de Unidades de I&D “UID_50007_2025”, funded by FCT with national funds and, when applicable, co‐funded by European funds.
Work plan:
This work plan will take place in the context of the activities of the LIP group in the DUNE neutrino oscillation experiment and it consists of two tasks.
The calibration strategy for the DUNE liquid argon time-projection chamber (LArTPC) detectors relies on an ionizing laser system developed by LIP. The objective of the first task is finalizing the analysis of the data collected with the laser system in the ProtoDUNE-HD detector at CERN, for the measurement of the drift velocity of electrons under the effect of the electric field in the detector.
The goal of the second task is the writing and submission of a scientific paper with the technical description of the calibration system.
Legislation:
The fellowship contract will be established according to the Regulations for Research Grants of LIP and FCT and to the Status of Scientific Research Fellow (Law nº 40/2004 de 18 de Agosto, and its successive amendments).
