CMS Post-Doc Positions
at Los Alamos National Laboratory
We are looking for two post-docs, who are interested in the physics of
measuring fragmentation functions via Z0 tagging of jets at the Large
Hadron Collider, to join the high-energy-nuclear-physics group at Los
Alamos. While the Z0 tagging of jets to study fragmentation functions is
already a new and exciting measurement in proton-proton collisions at
the LHC, the measurement of the same probe in lead-lead collisions will
help determine the opacity of the quark gluon plasma created in
heavy-ion collisions. This idea is documented in the CMS pTDR called
‘High Density QCD’.
The interest and skill set we are looking for are outstanding physics
analysis in your graduate work and technical experience in one or
several of the following topics: detector construction and testing,
trigger-hardware development and programming, FPGA programming, Monte
Carlo simulations (preferably with Geant4), Root based analysis and Data
Acquisition programming.
