Searching for Sterile Neutrinos and other Beyond the Standard Model phenomena with SBND
The SBND (Short-Baseline Near Detector) experiment is part of the multi-detector Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) programme located along the Booster Neutrino Beamline at Fermilab, USA. Read more
Telecom-wavelength single-photon sources
Semiconductor quantum dots are considered to be one of the best candidates to serve as the quantum emitters in quantum communication networks. Read more
Searches for supersymmetry and dark matter particles with the ATLAS experiment.
The student will work on the analysis of the data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider to search for new particles that are postulated by Supersymmetry. Read more
Electroweak measurements with the ATLAS Experiment.
A position is open for an enthusiastic Particle Physics PhD student to conduct research at the energy frontier at the ATLAS experiment. Read more
Silicon Sensor Particle Detectors for the Upgrade of the ATLAS Experiment at the CERN LHC
A position is open for an enthusiastic Particle Physics PhD student to conduct research in developing silicon sensor technologies in use at the energy frontier at the ATLAS experiment. Read more
Searching for Higgs Boson Pair Production with the ATLAS Experiment at the CERN LHC.
It's possible that the 125 GeV Higgs boson discovered by the CERN ATLAS and CMS Experiments is only one of several neutrally-charged Higgs bosons predicted by theories beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Read more
Dark Matter Search with ADMX and the Quantum Sensors for the Hidden Sector Collaboration.
This Ph.D. project involves searches for hidden sector dark matter, including QCD axions and axion like particles (ALPs). Our group at Sheffield leads the 'Quantum Sensors for the Hidden Sector' collaboration, and collaborates with the Axion Dark Matter Experiment (ADMX) collaboration in the USA. Read more
Develop a machine learning approach to multimodal imaging
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens to undo the advances of modern medicine, making commonplace interventions like major surgery or cancer chemotherapy effectively impossible. Read more
Cosmic-Ray Muons in Different Applications
Cosmic-ray muons are known to be useful in applications beyond particle astrophysics. They have helped with mapping structure of volcanoes and with finding voids in various geological structures. Read more
Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis of UK housing stock’s energy and carbon performance
To better inform the energy use and CO 2 reduction potential of the UK housing stock, computational models can simulate housing energy use and CO 2 emissions to test the effectiveness of decarbonisation scenarios. Read more
Topological Physics in Coaxial Cable Networks
An opportunity to become involved in a new area of physics. This project looks at a new physical system for studying topological physics, using networks of radio frequency transmission lines made. Read more
The Japanese Long-Baseline Neutrino Programme (T2K, Super-Kamiokande and Hyper-Kamiokande).
The particle physics and particle astrophysics (PPPA) group at the University of Sheffield has a long-standing involvement in Japan’s long-baseline neutrino programme. Read more
Neutrino Oscillation Study and Nucleon Decay Search with DUNE
DUNE is a large international project to design, construct and operate a multi-kiloton scale liquid argon detector for neutrino physics, neutrino astrophysics and a search for physics beyond the Standard Model. Read more
Dark Matter Search with the LZ Experiment
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a high-sensitivity dark matter experiment currently operating in the deep underground laboratory at SURF (South Dakota, USA). Read more
The dynamics of small-N systems
Most stars form in groups of dozens to a few hundred, but our understanding of the dynamics of such systems is surprisingly very lacking. Read more
