The Sources, Targets & Interactions Group (STI) of the Engineering Department (EN) is responsible for the design, construction and operation of accelerator components and takes part in a variety of experimental and operation activities concerning the CERN Accelerators (LHC, PS, SPS), experimental facilities like ISOLDE (Isotope Separation On-Line), n_ToF (Neutron Time of Flight experiment), CTF3 and the PS and SPS Experimental Areas.
The Emerging Energy Technologies (EET) Section is responsible for coordinating the FLUKA team as well as for the FLUKA code development, maintenance and support and, in addition:
•Provides studies on energy deposition, beam interaction with machine elements and FLUKA simulations for the accelerators and different applications (i.e. medical);
•Participates in the conceptual design of machine components, in collaboration with the other sections of the group;
•Participates in the n_ToF experiment;
•Coordinates the Single Event Upset task force (R2E) and radiation tests to electronics for the accelerator community;
•Supports the accelerator equipment groups in the interpretation of the test results, and
•Hosts the project leader of RADMON.
Functions
As an applied physicist in the EN-STI-EET Section, the successful candidate will:
•Take responsibility for FLUKA studies for accelerator components to evaluate hadronic showers, energy deposition and radiation fields in underground facilities;
•Participate in experimental activities of the section for code benchmarking and accelerator physics experiment in collaboration with other CERN groups and external institutes;
•Be in charge of the physics coordination of the CNGS irradiation facility for electronic systems, support the users in the interpretation of measurement results;
•Provide FLUKA simulations and measurements of the radiation field in the CNGS facility to correctly scale the results;
•Organise radiation tests for electronics in external facilities, negotiate beam time and irradiation conditions, help equipment groups to set-up the test beam and to control it. Support in the interpretation of the results;
•Supervise doctoral students and post-doc fellows. |
