Post-doctoral researcher in experimental nuclear physics: commissioning of the SIRIUS detector (M/F)

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description The “Spectroscopy Decay Fission” team in the department of Nuclear Physics at the IJCLab, Orsay, seeks a postdoctoral researcher to take a major role in the development of the novel SHEXI detection system. The award of the D-SHEXI ANR grant enables the team to investigate innovative methods to improve the detection efficiency of SIRIUS for L X-rays, enabling the unambiguous identification of the atomic numbers of newly discovered superheavy elements. Additionally, a proposal has recently been submitted to the University of Jyväskylä to commission SIRIUS at the focal plane of the RITU separator. If accepted, the post-doctoral fellow is therefore expected to be off-site for a considerable time during the installation, testing and commissioning runs in Finland. Following successful commissioning, the postdoctoral fellow is expected to propose an experimental program exploiting SIRIUS@RITU. Finally, the post-doc will be provided with data on 217Pa, already obtained using RITU, to study single-particle energies, residual interactions and E3 correlations beyond 208Pb and address the non-existence of the Z=92 shell gap. The postdoc will work under the supervision of K. Hauschild and A. Lopez-Martens at the IJCLab and in collaboration with the SIRIUS teams at the IPHC, GANIL and CEA-Saclay. development. The postdoctoral fellow will take a leading role in the detector and ASIC preamplifier t
