Bachelor and Master projects ATLAS experiment at CERN The ATLAS experiment is one of the two largest experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. ATLAS is designed to search for new particles in proton-proton collisions at this world's most powerful accelerator, which saw first particle collisions in late 2009. Together with another large experiment (CMS), ATLAS announced the discovery

Bachelor and Master projects ALICE experiment at CERN The ALICE experiment is one of the four large experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It is dedicated to the study of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a new state of matter in which quarks and gluons are deconfined. The Lund ALICE group is involved in both data analysis and hardware development for upgrades and even a possible futu

Bachelor and Master projects The Lund group is deeply involved in the development of several Monte Carlo event generators, used for simulating collision events as they arise in high energy experiments. There are possibilities for several different kinds of bachelor and master projects, in the full spectrum between projects which are very theoretical, and projects which are very close to experiment

Phenomenology beyond the Standard Model is a wide subject and our group is specialised in a few areas as listed below. Projects can be developed in all these areas, and adjacent ones. You are always welcome to contact us to discuss details, or if you have a project idea that you think could fit. Model building Model building refers to efforts to construct and explore theoretically and phenomenolog

This page describes the general area and a number of methods used in flavour- and low-energy particle physics as relevant for bachelor and master projects. General comments Depending on the particular subject many different methods will be involved. As all modern research in theoretical physics they usually involve using computers with programming at various levels in either algebraic systems like
The research of the BAR group concerns various aspects of man-made radionuclides which may be found in the environment today and in the future. Our research group focuses on environmental radiology, specifically studying the release of radionuclides from various sources. These sources include nuclear power plants, research laboratories, and accelerator facilities. Our work includes collaboration o
HIBEAM & NNBAR HIBEAM-NNBAR is a proposed two-stage program of experiments at the European Spallation Source (ESS) designed to search for neutrons converting into antineutrons and/or sterile neutrons. Such an observation would indicate baryon number violation, a fundamental condition for baryogenesis, the physical process that is hypothesized to have taken place during the early universe to produc

We study exotic atomic nuclei that are of interest in pure nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics and fundamental physics, mainly in international collaborations using large scale infrastructures. We also develop instrumentation and analysis methods as part of the research program.

Following the production of excited quantum states in atomic nuclei near the limit of nuclear stability, we study their inner structure by detecting the emitted γ-ray and particle radiation by means of contemporary nuclear decay spectroscopy techniques. The research activities circle around the nuclear structure of medium-mass nuclei near the proton dripline as well as superheavy nuclei at or near

Bachelor and Master projects Data analysis, detector R&D, virtual experiments (in Geant4) The underlying philosophy of our research group is to combine ideas, skills, and wishes from you with our group's current research efforts and needs. We often thrive at integrating or linking the undergraduate thesis work to ongoing PhD theses. This approach can often lead to co-authorship on a research publi
Lund activities within the FAIR-NUSTAR HISPEC/DESPEC experiment The HISPEC/DESPEC experiment is embedded in the NUSTAR science pillar of the European FAIR accelerator complex located near Darmstadt, Germany, built as extension to the GSI Helmholtzcentre for Heavy Ion Research. The HISPEC/DESPEC science case concerns γ-ray based nuclear spectroscopy of fast radioactive ion beams produced in relativ
Lund activities within superheavy element research Atoms containing atomic nuclei with more than 103 protons are classed as 'superheavy'. We explore superheavy nuclei both in terms of their nuclear structure as well as their mere existence. To date (2023), no atomic nuclei with a proton number in excess of Z=118 have been observed. In the wake of the discovery of superheavy elements, nuclear spect

Lund activities along the proton dripline in medium mass nuclei Atomic nuclei with the same number of protons and neutrons (N=Z) or those with proton and neutron numbers exchanged ("mirror nuclei") are laboratories to study certain symmetries of the nuclear force. Further, between doubly-magic 56Ni and 100Sn, the N=Z line is close to the proton dripline. This adds aspects of proton-unbound states
