LHCb is an experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) operating since the fall of 2010. During the RUN-I and RUN-II it has taken data at √s=7 TeV (2011), √s=8 TeV (2012) and √s=13 TeV (2015-2018), showing extraordinary performance and integrating a total of 9 fb-1 of data. From the end of 2018, LHC underwent into a scheduled shutdown (LS2) and an upgraded LHCb detector will be installed and commissioned, starting the RUN-III data taking in 2021 until 2023. This phase-I upgrade will employ a 40 MHz readout with a very flexible software-based trigger, which will provide significantly increased efficiency in hadronic final states, and allow the experiment to function effectively at the higher luminosity of 2 x1033 cm-2s-1, doubling the signal efficiency of the physics channels. The upgraded detector is expected to offer the experiment the capability to trigger on new interesting signatures, such as long-lived particles, opening new physics opportunities.

The timescale of the proposed PhD thesis (2021-2025) implies the physics exploitation of the already accumulated RUN-II LHCb data, the installation, commissioning and maintenance of the phase-I upgrade detector, the operation of the detector and exploitation of RUN-III data. In addition, opportunities to participate in the R&D activities for the phase-II upgraded detector after RUN-III might as well be considered.

L'Institut de Ciències del Cosmos de la UB (ICCUB) ha entrat recentment a la Col·laboració Virgo, el projecte per observar ones gravitacionals mitjançant un gran instrument interferomètric situat prop de Pisa (Itàlia).

Virgo genera grans volums de dades (aprox. 1PB durant la propera campanya observacional prevista pel 2019, incrementant-se contínuament en futures campanyes). Per processar-ho calen complexes algoritmes que necessiten la infraestructura distribuïda GRID Europea, seguint un model semblant a l'usat per l'Accelerador de Partícules LHC del CERN.

Un dels compromisos de l'ICCUB amb Virgo és la revisió del model computacional: com es gestionen les dades (enregistrament, transferència als diversos centres de càlcul, emmagatzemament i accés), com es processen (interfícies entre programadors/científics i infraestructures de càlcul), gestió de treballs i tasques, etc.

L'ICCUB ofereix una beca predoctoral per realitzar la tesi en aquestes tasques, contribuint així a un processament més eficient de les dades d'un dels majors projectes científics de la nostra era.

Les tasques a realitzar inclouran l'anàlisi del model computacional actual i la definició del nou model, l'adaptació d'infraestructures de computació (com p.ex. DIRAC) a Virgo, la definició i eventual implementació d'interfícies de dades i tasques amb el projecte LIGO d'Estats Units, etc.


Incorporació: Gener 2019.

Localitat: Barcelona (vora Palau Reial)

Jornada laboral: Completa

ENG

The Institute of Cosmos Sciences (ICCUB) has recently joined the Virgo Collaboration, the project to observe gravitational waves through a large interferometric instrument located near Pisa (Italy).

Complex algorithms are needed in order to process the large volumes of data Virgo generates (approx. 1PB during the next 2019 observational campaign, and continually increasing in future campaigns). This processing require the European GRID distributed infrastructure, using a similar model to the one used by the CERNLHC Particle Accelerator.

One of the commitments of the ICCUB with Virgo is the revision of the computational model: to manage the data (recording, transfer to the various calculation centers, storage and access), the processing (interfaces between programmers/scientists and calculation infrastructures), management of work and tasks, etc.

The ICCUB offers a predoctoral scholarship to carry out the thesis in these tasks, thus contributing to a more efficient data processing of one of the greatest scientific projects of our era.

The tasks to be carried out include the analysis of the current computational model and the definition of the new model; the adaptation of computing infrastructures (suchas DIRAC) to Virgo; the definition and possible implementation of data interfaces and tasks with the United States LIGO project, among others.

Location:Barcelona (near Palau Reial)

Working day: Full

Requirements:

Knowledge of programming in Python, C, Java, Matlab.

Knowledge of distributed computing systems (Grid Computing type).

Collaborative Development Environments (GIT or SVN).

Good level of English (read, write and speak).

Ability to work as a team.

Availability to travel (sporadically).

The ICCUB is concerned about the under representation of women in the fields of sciences of the cosmos, and therefore strongly encourages young women to apply.

The physical cosmology group at ICCUB (http://icc.ub.edu/~liciaverde/ICC-Phys.Cosm.html) is looking for a talented and highly motivated student interested in doing a PhD in observational cosmology at ICCUB (http://icc.ub.edu), University of Barcelona (http://ub.edu/web/ub/en). A completed university master degree with documented knowledge in project-relevant areas is required. Programming knowledge and experience working with cosmological datasets will be highly considered. The position is for 3 years (subject to satisfactory progress towards a PhD), and includes the contribution to the social security and national healthcare system to be paid by the employer (with employee contribution through standard taxes).

The student will join the DESI collaboration and will have the opportunity to collaborate with other members of the ICCUB. The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, DESI (http://desi.lbl.gov/), is the cornerstone for the wider and most ambitious spectroscopic galaxy survey ever undertaken, with first light in 2019. It will measure 4 million Luminous Red Galaxies below redshift 1; 17 million of Emission Luminous Galaxies below redshift 1.6 and 2.4 million quasars between redshifts 0.9 and 3.5 among other programs. The large volume covered by DESI will allow sub-percent measurements on cosmological parameters, such the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation angular diameter distance and the Hubble parameter. Reaching such a level of precision is key to discriminate among different models of Dark Energy, to set constrains on the total amount of neutrino masses and to test GR as a theory of gravity at the largest regime ever explored, the size of the Universe.

Project: The student will work on developing methods to maximize the scientific return of DESI data by developing robust analyses techniques, by controlling and minimizing the impact of observational systematics, a necessary preliminary step for subsequently explore novel approaches and apply them to analyze the data provided by DESI in an optimal way. These techniques will be eventually applied by the student to the first science data produced by the DESI during its first years of observation. The bulk of the funding is provided by the prestigious “La Caixa” fellowship awarded to Dr. Héctor Gil-Marín who will move to ICCUB in the fall. The project will be supervised by Prof. Licia Verde (http://icc.ub.edu/~liciaverde/HomePage.html,liciaverde@icc.ub.edu), and Dr. Héctor Gil-Marín (http://ilp.upmc.fr/members/gilmarin.php, hector.gilmarin@lpnhe.in2p3.fr). Informal scientific inquiries about the project should be addressed to them.

The ICCUB is an interdisciplinary center devoted to fundamental research in cosmology, astrophysics and particle physics. It is one of the few Spanish research institutes awarded with the Maria de Maeztu distinction for excellence in research and provides a dynamic and stimulating environment for young researchers.


Application: Candidates must submit a one-page research interests statement, a curriculum vitae and arrange for two reference letters to be uploaded [from this page] by July 15th 2018 for a full consideration. Later applications may be considered until the position is filled.
