PhD student positions
PhD thesis within the COLLAPS experiment at ISOLDE/CERN:
Collinear laser spectroscopy on short-lived radionuclides with COLLAPS
COLLAPS is an experiment located at the "isotope factory" ISOLDE at
CERN. Its aim is the investigation of ground state properties (spins,
electro-magnetic moments and charge radii) of exotic, short-lived
nuclei, which allow a better understanding of the nuclear interactions.
As a PhD student, you will be the contact person at CERN. You will be
responsible for the beamtime preparations including the laser system,
the detection system and other hardware components, as well as the
measuring software. During the thesis laser spectrocopic measurements
on short-lived neutron-deficient Mg isotopes will be performed and
analyzed.
