ATLAS: An inclusive search for Supersymmetry

The student will develop tools to test supersymmetry using multijet + missing ET decay signatures. The understanding of detector response will be crucial at the beginning of ATLAS operation to separate real physics effects from instrumental backgrounds. The student will also work on tracking reconstruction to enhance jet algorithms using an energy flow approach.


Science Graduate School:
As a PhD student in one of the science departments at the University of Sheffield, you’ll be part of the Science Graduate School – a community of postgraduate researchers working across biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and psychology. You’ll get access to training opportunities designed to support your career development by helping you gain professional skills that are essential in all areas of science. You’ll be able to learn how to recognise good research and research behaviour, improve your communication abilities and experience technologies that are used in academia, industry and many related careers.
