Position Description: |
The Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe (KMI) of Nagoya University, located in Aichi prefecture in Japan, is an international research hub for particle physics and astrophysics. KMI has recently launched the international research unit for innovative dark matter searches jointly with Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research (ISEE), Nagoya University. The research unit invites applications for a designated associate professor (non-tenure track) or a designated assistant professor (non-tenure track) position for the XENONnT and DARWIN experiments. The unit, led by Prof. Yoshitaka Itow, Prof. Junji Hisano, and Prof. Shingo Kazama, is engaged in direct dark matter searches and related neutrino physics using a state-of-art liquid xenon detector The XENON is a liquid xenon time projection chamber with a 6-ton active target that will provide unprecedented sensitivity to dark matter. The experiment is located at INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) in Italy and is currently taking science data. The Nagoya group is responsible for a number of subsystems in the XENONnT experiment, including purification of liquid xenon, neutron veto, and also data-analysis. We are also working on detector R&Ds for the DARWIN project, a future 50t liquid xenon dark matter direct search experiment. The successful candidate will play a central role, especially in data-analysis for the XENONnT experiment and R&Ds for an ultra-low background "hermetic" liquid xenon time projection chamber (TPC) dedicated for the DARWIN experiment. The development of hermetic TPC will be done in collaboration with a research group from Freiburg University, led by Prof. Marc Schumann. 1. Number of Positions:
