Our group offers various opportunities to students for practical training, semester projects and postgraduate theses. Student projects are available within our ongoing research in the context of the CMS experiment at CERN. Topics include:
- Analysis of the data collected with the CMS experiment to search for rare processes with Higgs bosons and heavy quarks
- Monitoring and evaluating the performance of the CMS pixel detector during operation
- Testing of pixel detector modules and other components for the next upgrade of the CMS pixel detector
- Testing, measuring and characterizing electronics and sensor components for new pixel detectors
