Belle 2 experiment at KEK in Japan to search for discrete symmetry violations

Research Group:
Number of Students: 1
Length of Study in Years: 3
Full-time Project: yes

Funding

The studentship is funded by Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) and NTR.net. It will cover home tuition fees, and provide an annual tax-free maintenance allowance for 3 years. 

Project Description

Develop a system demonstrator for a multichannel organic semiconductor radiation detector based on our existing technologies. This project builds on the work we have reported in the following publications (alpha paper, neutron paper, recent NIM publication), where we have made solution processed radiation detectors, including inventing fast and thermal neutron detectors based on modern organic semiconductors that have been used widely in photovoltaic applications. This kind of system, can be useful for monitoring accelerators that suffer from neutron beam background, and may be useful as a neutron camera for imaging sources.
