PhD Position in Baryon Resonance Studies for Heavy-Ion Collisions
Explore heavy-ion collision dynamics and baryonic resonances within the international HADES collaboration.
Best for:Best for physics graduates with a strong background in nuclear or particle physics and proficiency in C++ programming.
Overview
This PhD position investigates the properties of strongly interacting matter and baryonic resonances through heavy-ion collision data from the HADES experiment at GSI. Jointly hosted by Université Paris-Saclay and conducted in collaboration with the Warsaw University of Technology, the project focuses on analyzing large experimental datasets to extract resonance signals. The successful candidate will adapt advanced iterative analysis methods, interpret physical outcomes, and collaborate with theoretical experts across Europe. The appointment begins on October 1, 2026, offering an opportunity to contribute to fundamental nuclear and particle physics research.
What you'll do
- Extend and adapt iterative analysis frameworks to process experimental datasets from Ag+Ag and Au+Au collisions.
- Extract baryon resonance signals from combinatorial background data with high statistical and systematic precision.
- Perform multi-differential analyses including invariant mass, transverse momentum, and rapidity distributions.
- Collaborate closely with theoretical physics experts to interpret experimental outcomes using dynamical models.
- Present research findings within the international HADES collaboration and participate in joint meetings.
