Advanced Modelling of Neutrino-Nucleus Interaction
Neutrino experiments detect neutrinos through their interactions with nuclear targets such as argon and oxygen. Achieving precision measurements of neutrino oscillations and CP violation therefore relies critically on our understanding of neutrino– nucleus interactions. However, nuclei are complex many-body quantum systems that cannot yet be calculated from first principles using classical computing alone.
In this project, you will:
- Develop advanced theoretical models of neutrino–nucleus interactions and quantify systematic uncertainties in the kinematic region relevant to future high-precision neutrino experiments.
- Employ state-of-the-art computational techniques, including machine learning and quantum computing, to push the boundaries of current modelling capabilities.
You will gain experience at the interface of nuclear and particle physics, data science, and emerging computational technologies, contributing directly to the discovery potential of next-generation neutrino experiments.
The project offers opportunities for collaboration with leading international research groups and attendance at conferences and workshops.
