Are you passionate about radiofrequency technology and electromagnetic simulations?

Join the team following the interaction of the charged particle beams with their surroundings and improve accelerator components such as cavities, kickers, beam instrumentation equipment and many more.

The performance of the CERN accelerators critically depends on beam coupling impedance, which describes the frequency-dependent induced voltage for a given beam current.

The Proton Synchrotron (PS) and the Super Proton Synchrotron accelerator (SPS) are important stages in the injector chain for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Electromagnetic simulation models of all relevant components have been developed for these accelerators.

You will contribute to impedance studies by carrying out electromagnetic simulations in CST or similar simulation tools to validate the design of new accelerator components and propose modifications to existing ones. The simulations are c...
