Mer information
FIPPS is a high-resolution HPGe array placed around a thermal neutron beam. It allows to perform prompt nuclear spectroscopy experiments on different stable (rare) and radioactive targets following neutron-induced reactions. Fission experiments are of particular interest as they allow to study both - the properties of neutron-rich nuclei and the fission mechanism itself. Such experiments rely nowadays on the selectivity provided by multiple gamma-ray coincidences. Extensive experimental programmes using different actinide targets are foreseen at the FIPPS instrument. The possibility of fission tagging and fission-fragment selectivity is also under investigation.

Your tasks
Working within the ILL’s “Nuclear and Particle Physics (NPP)” group, you will:
- Participate in ongoing nuclear spectroscopy experiments at FIPPS
- Analyse existing fission data obtained with different actinide targets
- Collaborate with ILL and visiting scientists on their experiments on fission and gamma rays at FIPPS
- Actively research and develop auxiliary systems to enhance selectivity in fission experiments
- Prepare and carry out benchmark tests and demonstration experiments at the Lohengrin fission-fragment separator
- Collaborate with external institutions adding valuable expertise in the field
- Pursue your personal research programme in nuclear physics and promote ILL’s activity at conferences and workshops.
- You will receive training primarily on the gamma-ray spectroscopy programme at FIPPS but also at all other nuclear physics instruments at the ILL.
