Your responsibilities
The SY-BI-BL section oversees the R&D on the development of longitudinal beam loss monitors (BLMs) designed to cover larger areas than conventional detectors. These optical BLMs are based on the detection of Cherenkov light in optical multi-mode pure silica fibres. Its first application will be to extend the beam loss monitoring capabilities in the CERN North Area secondary beam lines. The first phase of R&D is about to be finalised, where a combination of an optical fibre type coupled with photomultipliers has shown promising results. A prototype of such a detector is presently installed in the slow extraction of the SPS and is providing data for each cycle.
As we advance on the next phase of the Longitudinal BLM R&D project, we are seeking an Electronics Engineer with expertise in fast read-out systems and signal processing.

About us
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.
Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
