Your tasks

\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n At PSI we plan to design and operate an experiment to search for the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the muon by using the High Intensity Proton Accelerator (HIPA) facility. The experiment foresees injecting muons into a solenoid characterized by a uniform magnetic field around 3 T and a nested radial electric field. An injection channel is required to transport muons from the exit of the beamline through the cryostat, coil package, and vacuum tank into the injection zone inside the magnetic field. In the injection channel, a superconducting screen must shield the magnetic field produced by the solenoid and the background Earth\\xe2\\x80\\x99s field.\\n

You will:\\n
\\n
\\n
  • \\n
  • analyze numerical models of the magnetic screen to understand the underlying physics\\n
  • participate in the assembly of the screen and its testing under operating conditions\\n
  • participate in the analysis and understanding of the experimental results\\n
