< < | Every year the RHUL Particle Physics group recruits several students for
research towards the degree of PhD in the projects covered
by our research interests. At present the RHUL Centre for Particle Physics has a major
research involvement in the ATLAS experiment, at the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC) at CERN, and in research towards the development of
future accelerators (as part of the John Adams Institute). Studentships in the area of Particle Physics phenomenology will also become available in future, after the appointment of two new Lecturers in Phenomenology later this year, as part of the NExT institute.
Students in the experimental group spend their first three months
following an intercollegiate course of lectures on advanced particle
physics with students from other University of London colleges. In
January of their first year they begin their project. They are likely
to spend some time in the exciting atmosphere of CERN or other
accelerator labs in their first and second years giving the
opportunity of meeting students from many other countries as well as
senior particle physicists and maybe a Nobel prizewinner or two. At
the end of the first year there is a three-week summer school at RAL
attended by all UK PhD students in particle physics and (group travel
funds permitting) our students normally attend a summer school outside
the UK at the end of the second year.
Funding for the studentships is provided by e.g. the Science and
Technology Facilities Council (STFC![]() | |||||||

The RHUL Centre for Particle Physics is now recruiting applicants for studentships to carry out research towards the PhD degree. Applications are sought, preferably before the
end of March 2009, for entry in October 2009.
The Centre for Particle Physics has a long tradition of participating in Particle Physics experiments, and also has an Accelerator Science group (part of the John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science). At the moment we are expanding into the area of Particle Physics phenomenology: we are members of the recently created NExT Institute, and are in the process of appointing two new academic posts in this area.
The two main research areas which we are now recruiting for are the
ATLAS experiment in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, and
Accelerator Science research towards the development of future
particle accelerators.
In brief, our group's main interests in these areas are
