The Max-Planck-Institut für Physik (MPP) participates in the Belle experiment and the future SuperBelle experiment at KEK, Japan. For SuperBelle, the MPP is developing a pixel vertex detector which has to work at luminosities exceeding 2·1035 s-1cm-2. It has to face high backgrounds and radiation doses up to 10 Mrad and must be of low mass in order to achieve good impact parameter resolution of low momentum tracks. The detector will use DEPFET active pixel sensors. The DEPFET is a pixel sensor with a FET amplification integrated in fully depleted silicon. It offers a high signal over noise ratio, fast readout, and can be made very thin (50 mm). These features make the DEPFET an ideal detector for the challenging environment at SuperBelle. The DEPFETs are produced in the semiconductor laboratory of the Max-Planck-Institut für Physik and the Max-Planck-Institut für Extraterrestrische Physik.
The MPP offers a post-doctoral position for this project. The successful applicant is expected to actively participate in the optimization studies for the pixel sensors, based on detailed physics simulations, and in the mechanical layout of the pixel detector. He/she should also help to design test procedures for the pixel detector system at the various stages of development. The applicant should have good knowledge of silicon detectors and readout electronics, and experience in B-physics experiments would be an advantage.
