As an applied physicist, you will be part of the RICH Detector strategic R&D activities and the LHCb RICH Upgrade project. This includes studies of novel single-photon detectors such as SiPMs (Silicon Photomultipliers) at cryogenic temperatures, calibrations of readout electronics in the sub-100 ps time domain and measurements of prototype optics for RICH detectors. Your work will combine hands-on activities (beam tests and measurements in the laboratory using picosecond pulsed laser illumination) with analysis of the performance of prototypes, simulation and the development of new detector designs and solutions.
