The HEP section is currently developing an advanced imaging telescope for the world's most powerful proton beam accelerator at the European Spallation Source.
In your project, you will perform beam dynamics studies of the proton beam, and help our team to predict the shape and impact of the proton beam as it interacts with the neutron spallation target at high energy. You will use numerical simulation tools for charged particle beams as developed for particle physics experiments, and combine this with optics characteristics of the imaging telescope to investigate whether certain accelerator failure modes can be observed. Depending on the ESS schedule you may also aid our team with commissioning the imaging telescope at the ESS site in Lund, Sweden.
