Tuesday 24 November 2009.
After one year of intensive repairs following a serious electrical problem one year ago, the Large Hadron Collider
(the large particle smasher in CERN - the European Laboratory for Particle Physics - Geneva) is back in action. Last Friday
night saw the injection of the first proton beams in the 27-km circumference underground ring
the RHUL group / history / interests/ sveeral colleagues based at CERN (and others travelling there) have been involved in the experiment for many years, and were directly involved in the operations of the experiment during the last very exciting week. | | | | |

< | The Centre for Particle Physics at Royal Holloway, University of
London (RHUL) recruits annually for students to carry
out research towards the PhD degree, normally starting in mid-September. The principal recruitment period is January to March and you are strongly advised to make your recommendation then but studentships could still be available later. See below under "Additional Information" for more information about the group, contact details, funding sources and application form.
PhD studentships
The Centre for Particle Physics has a long tradition of participating
in particle physics experiments and, in recent years, has expanded its research interests into the areas of Accelerator Science as part of the John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science, and particle physics phenomenology as members of the NExT Institute (New connections between Experiment and Theory). We welcome enquires from those interested in joining any of these research activities.
The main interests of the Centre for Particle Physics in these areas are:
- ATLAS programme: analysis of the experimental data in order to search for the Higgs boson, supersymmetric particles and evidence of extra dimensions, and the physics of the top quark.
- Trigger and Data Acquisition Systems: we have a major involvement in the ATLAS trigger and data acquisition system and are contributing to a planned upgrade. We contribute to international design work on a trigger system for a future linear collider and on generic aspects of trigger systems.
- Accelerator Science programme: development of novel electron accelerator diagnostics, such as laser-wire beam measurement devices, resonant cavity beam position monitors and beam generated radiation monitoring. We are also involved in studies leading to the realisation of a future linear collider, and upgrades of the LHC.
- Phenomenology programme: phenomenology of Large Hadron Collider searches for dark matter candidates and for signatures of other new physics processes. Further information can be found here.
There is very heavy overlap in the above topics and many members of the Centre contribute in more than one area.
Students in the Centre for Particle Physics spend their first three months following an intensive training programme consisting of postgraduate-level lectures in their area of research working jointly with students in other institutions. For instance, those in experimental particle physics attend courses with students from other University of London colleges, those in phenomenology with students from Southampton and Sussex and those in accelerator science with Oxford colleagues. All normally begin their research project in January of their first year. Many are likely to spend time in the exciting atmosphere of CERN or other accelerator labs during their studentship, giving the opportunity of meeting students from many other countries as well as senior particle physicists and maybe a Nobel prizewinner or two. Towards the end of their first year students attend a summer school (normally in the UK), for example experimentalists at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) Summer School and phenomenologists at the British Universities Summer School in Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics (BUSSTEPP). Most students attend a summer school outside the UK at the end of their second year.
Funding for studentships is available from a variety of sources including the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), the European Union and Royal Holloway. Click on the relevant links below for more details.
