Degree projects
Bachelor's and master's degree projects at the Division of Particle and Nuclear Physics
The Division welcomes both bachelor and master students to do their degree project in one of our research groups. Below you can find short descriptions of possible topics for your degree project with links to the respective research groups for more information. You can also contact teachers directly and ask about possible projects.
Experimental particle physics:
- high-energy particle physics with the ATLAS experiment
- search for dark matter at the LDMX experiment
- heavy-ion physics with the ALICE experiment
- neutron oscillations at the HIBEAM and NNBAR experiments
- computing in particle physics experiments
Experimental nuclear physics:
- nuclear reactions and nuclear astrophysics at FAIR-NUSTAR and CERN-ISOLDE
- analysis of nuclear structure data (proton dripline and superheavy nuclei)
- radiation detector R&D in the laboratory and/or virtual Geant4 space
- environmental impact of radioactive materials and radiation
- neutrino scattering and oscillation experiments at ESS
- medical isotope production and neutron transport simulations for ESS
Theoretical particle physics:
- phenomenology of the strong interaction QCD
- effective theories of hadrons and flavour physics
- beyond the standard model physics
