Nuclear Physics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in the UK

We have 19 Nuclear Physics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in the UK

Lithium corrosion behaviour of RAFM steels for tritium breeder blankets in fusion energy production

The production of vast amounts of nuclear fusion energy in tokamak and compact spherical reactor designs, as a replica of nuclear reactions in the sun, rely on the deuterium (D)-tritium (T) reaction and the hot D-T plasma confinement using intense superconducting magnets. Read more

The University of Manchester - Department of Physics and Astronomy

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Manchester is home to outstanding research, leading facilities such as the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics, and internationally renowned physicists and astronomers including the discoverers of graphene Professor Sir Andre Geim and Professor Sir Konstantin Novoselov, and Professor Brian Cox. Read more

Development and Processing of Vanadium Alloys for Nuclear Fusion

  Research Group: PROCESSING
Background. UKAEA is at the forefront of fusion energy research including development of key power plant technologies. The delivery of viable designs for the consumable, in-vessel plasma-facing components (PFCs) is key to the realisation and the delivery of electricity to the grid from nuclear fusion. Read more

(EPSRC DTP ICASE) Materials Performance of austenitic stainless steels in high temperature Helium environment

This innovative PhD project, conducted in collaboration with EDF Energy, invites a passionate and dedicated researcher to join a transformative exploration at the forefront of materials science, making meaningful contributions to the future of energy technology. Read more

Exploring single electron transistors for radiation detection

Single-electron quantum devices have potential use as radiation sensors for fundamental and applied science applications. We propose to develop arrays of graphene-based single-electron transistors that operate from deep cryogenic temperatures towards room temperature. Read more

Particle accelerator simulations for new particle physics experiments

Particle colliders are incredibly complex and expensive devices to design, construct, operate and maintain. There are multiple “frontiers” in particle physics – high energy, high intensity and low background. Read more

PhD in the Production & Analysis of Nuclear Threat Reduction Relevant Radionuclides

The UK’s Nuclear Threat Reduction (NTR) programme requires regular access to samples of relevant radionuclides in order to demonstrate its capability in nuclear forensics (NF) investigations. Read more

Studying strong interaction with polarised probes

  Research Group: Nuclear Physics
The focus of this project is to exploit the world’s leading electromagnetic (EM) beam facility (MAMI) to elucidate the fundamental nature of hadrons, nuclei and nuclear matter. Read more

Exploring medical isotopes production with the photon beams

  Research Group: Healthcare Engineering
There is a growing demand for radioactive isotopes to be employed both in treatment and diagnostics. Suitable isotopes need to be producable in sufficiently large quantities and at affordable price. Read more

UCL SECReT: The International Training Centre for Security and Crime Research Degrees

Learn from world-leading researchers, tackle challenging projects, boost your career prospects and gain a globally-respected postgraduate degree from UCL. Read more

The ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC

ALICE is one of the four main experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It is a general purpose heavy-ion experiment aimed at studying QCD under extreme conditions of energy density. Read more

Mid-infrared hollow-core fibre and laser development for environmental monitoring, non-invasive surgery and advanced manufacturing

In this project we will develop hollow-core optical fibres (HCFs) for mid-infrared laser delivery. HCFs offer a radically new solution for laser delivery as they guide light in a gas-filled core, instead of the glass in conventional optical fibres. Read more
