Job opportunities within the ATLAS calorimeter group at MPP

The activities of the group include:

• top quark analyses, jet physics and QCD studies,
• calorimeter related detector performance studies,
• hardware development for the hadronic endcap calorimeter electronics for the high-luminosity upgrade of the LHC.

Currently the following topics for PhD, Master, and Bachelor theses can be offered:

• Search for tt-bar resonances in the all-hadronic tt-bar channel with ATLAS
• Measurement of the top quark mass in the all-hadronic channel with 7 and 8 TeV ATLAS data
• Studies of underlying event and multi-parton interactions in 7 and 8 TeV ATLAS data
• Final states with many jets in ATLAS
• Jet substructure in top events in ATLAS
• Chip design and radiation tests for radiation hard readout electronics for the upgrade of the ATLAS hadronic endcap calorimeter

• Analysis of transistor characteristics (gain, etc.) after irradiation for cold electronics upgrade of the ATLAS hadronic endcap calorimeter (pdf, in German)

• Study of cluster shapes under pile-up conditions with ATLAS data
