Arbeitsbeschreibung:
Introduction Accelerator physicist in the Beams Department (BE), Accelerator and Beam Physics group (ABP), Hadron Synchronous Single particle effects section (HSS). The Accelerators and Beam Physics (ABP) group, part of the Beams department (BE) is in charge of beam performance over the complete CERN accelerator chain, from the source to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and carries out Research & Development (R&D) activities on the upgrade of the LHC, its injectors, the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC), and Future Circular Colliders study (FCC). Functions As a member of the Hadron Synchrotrons Single particle effects (HSS) section of the ABP group, you will participate in the activities related with single particle beam dynamics studies for the LHC injectors, with particular focus on the PS ring (https://home.cern/about/accelerators/proton-synchrotron (link is external)), both in its current status and for the on-going upgrade studies. In collaboration with the members of the Hadron Synchrotrons Incoherent effects (HSI) section, you will also contribute to studies involving single-beam lifetime limitations in the PS, with an emphasis to space-charge effects for high-intensity and high-brightness beams. You will: Develop and maintain an effective model that includes linear and non-linear beam dynamics effects. After a period of familiarisation you will: Contribute to the studies to improve the performance of the current machine, including single-particle beam dynamics coupled with incoherent effects. Contribute to the operational improvement of the current machine, possibly also in the role of machine supervisor. Contribute to the beam commissioning efforts needed after the implementation of the changes related with the upgrade programme. Qualification required Master's degree in the field of physics or engineering, or equivalent. Experience and competencies The experience required for this position is: PhD in the field of physics or engineering (or equivalent) with a first relevant experience in a scientific environment preferably in the design and/or operation of particle accelerators or Masters degree in the field of physics or engineering with extensive experience in a scientific environment preferably in the design and/or operation of particle accelerators. Experience of accelerator physics, with demonstrated ability to compute beam optics. Experience with single-particle beam dynamics simulation codes. The following experience would be considered an asset: Experience with space-charge simulations. Experience of one of the following codes: MAD-X, SixTrack. Experience of massive numerical simulations with modern simulations codes. Experience of experimental techniques and analysis of data from beam measurements. The technical competencies required for this post are: Knowledge of accelerator physics theory. Knowledge of transverse single-particle dynamics. Knowledge of beam optics (rings and transfer lines). Beam dynamics simulation: knowledge of massive numerical simulation techniques. Accelerator performance analysis & optimization. The behavioural competencies required for this post are: Communicating effectively: expressing opinions, ideas and suggestions with conviction and in a logical/structured manner; keeping to the point. Demonstrating accountability: taking responsibility for own actions and decisions. Working in teams: building and maintaining constructive and effective work relationships. Solving problems: assimilating large quantities of information, identifying key issues and formulating conclusions clearly and concisely. Achieving results: having a structured and organised approach towards work; being able to set priorities and plan tasks with results in mind. The language competencies required are: English or French: spoken and written, with the ability to draw-up technical specifications and/or scientific reports, and/or to make oral presentations. The ability to understand and speak the other lang
