Job Details
Searches for exotic and forbidden processes, like for example heavy Majorana neutrinos, will be conducted using kaon decays at the NA62 experiment at CERN. The project will involve analysis of data recorded during the data taking from 2015. The project will also involve contributing to the group’s technical responsibilities within NA62. Travel to CERN will be required.
This project will take place within the Particle Physics group at the University. For details of the group and to find out more about studying for a PhD in this group, please refer to
