Research Position in RF Systems and Accelerator Physics in Department of Physics at Uppsala University, Sweden 2012

Study Subject(s): RF systems and Accelerator Physics
Course Level: Research
Scholarship Provider: Uppsala University
Scholarship can be taken at: Sweden

Eligibility:
PhD in physics, electronics or microwave technology or equivalent work experience in a relevant topic. We are looking for qualified and motivated candidates with a strong interest in experimental methods and skills to build scientific instruments. Previous experience in microwave or accelerator physics is an advantage. Good oral and written proficiency in English are desirable as well as the capacity to work both independently and in a team and willingness to travel.

The project studies the fundamental limits of future accelerators which are their microwave structures and radio frequency (RF) distribution systems as well as the effects of electro-magnetic fields on particle beams. Studies of radio frequency (RF) distribution systems include active and passive high-power microwave components required for the RF system development and is focused on reducing energy consumption. To this purpose, the project will construct a 1.5 MW – 704 MHz RF test stand at the Ångström Laboratory for the development of RF-distribution systems and prepare a Technical Design Report for the RF distribution system to the ESS (before end 2012). The origin of RF discharges and the impact of electro-magnetic fields on the particle beam are studied to determine tolerances and limits for accelerators. The project will construct diagnostic systems to study the origin of RF discharges and the effect of electro-magnetic fields on the particle beam. The researcher will participate in the running of the experiments, collection and analysis of data. The work will be carried out in collaboration with institutes in Sweden and abroad.
