Post-doctoral position in nuclear physics on the analysis of exotic decays modes with ACTAR TPC (M/F)

Missions

• The selected candidate's main mission will be to work on data analysis methods related to the radioactive decay of exotic nuclei, data collected during experiments conducted using the ACTAR TPC device. The goal is to explore the possibility of using innovative analysis methods (such as "deep learning" or others) to, on the one hand, identify the different types of observed decays (number and type of emitted particles) and, on the other hand, determine their energies and emission directions, as well as assess the efficiency and limitations of the analysis. Such methods could also be considered for identifying the ions produced during these experiments (see work context).
• The successful candidate will also be involved in all activities related to the ACTAR TPC collaboration. This may include testing the detector as part of a new geometry currently under development or participating in measurement campaigns within the collaboration.
• Additionally, the candidate will have the opportunity to participate to some of the team's other research activities, which cover a variety of topics.

Activity

• The candidate will initially focus on implementing data analysis techniques and evaluating them within the context detailed below. The analyses developed must be precisely documented so that the work can potentially be continued within the team or the collaboration.
• He/she will also participate in the preparation and execution of experiments conducted on-site as part of the ACTAR TPC collaboration, as well as any tests of the device.
• He/she will have the opportunity to take part in other experimental activities of the team.
• He/she will present their work at international conferences and will be responsible for drafting scientific articles related to their research.
