About The Role The Research Assistant or Research Officer (dependent on experience) will work on the Future Leaders Fellowship project ‘Rotationally controlled reactions’, led by Dr Helen Chadwick in the Department of Chemistry, which aims to use quantum state control to change the rate of reactions of closed-shell, ground state molecules in collisions with surfaces. The project will involve using and further developing a unique magnetic manipulation interferometry technique which allows control of the rotational orientation projection states of molecules such as hydrogen before they collide with the surface to study the effect that this has on the reactivity of the molecules with surfaces for the first time. It will also extend proof of concept measurements on molecule-surface energy transfer, to investigate whether this is also dependent on the rotational orientation projection state of the molecule. The project will combine performing both experimental work and computational work to analyse the data, as well as developing both the experimental and analytical methods that will be used throughout.

About The Role The Swansea Antihydrogen team has a vacancy for a postdoctoral research officer to work on the ALPHA experiment at CERN, in which the Swansea group is a leading participant. The vacancy is to be filled as soon as possible. The group consists of three permanent staff, four post docs and a varying number of Ph.D. students. The group plays a leading role in the ALPHA experiment and is responsible for positrons, antihydrogen synthesis, laser-spectroscopy and metrology. Recent successes include the first spectroscopy of the 1s-2s transition in antihydrogen, laser-cooling of antihydrogen and a first measurement of the influence of gravity. The group has pioneered a new method using laser-cooled Beryllium ions to assist in antihydrogen synthesis that has increased the amount of antihydrogen available for experimentation by an order of magnitude. Using this technique the next generation of experiments will significantly increase the precision of the 1s-2s and gravity measurements and start addressing other excited states in the anti-atom and work towards direct comparisons with hydrogen. The successful candidate will be working at CERN with both the Swansea team and the ALPHA collaboration on the next generation of antihydrogen experiments. The responsibilities include improving the Beryllium assisted antihydrogen synthesis and leading the use of Beryllium ions for in-situ ac and dc magnetometry and thermometry to support the antihydrogen measurements. This all takes place in an exciting multi-disciplinary experiment in an international context, where there is ample freedom for the successful candidate to have a huge impact on the future of antihydrogen physics. We require the successful candidate to have a Ph.D. in experimental physics. Experience in relevant sub-fields (e.g. laser physics, laser-cooling, trapped charged particles or atoms) or with some of the techniques we use (for instance cryogenics, ultra-high vacuum and Labview) will be appreciated, though are not formal requirements. In addition to salary, there is an overseas allowance according to OECD cost-of-living corrections.

About The Role The group is a leading member of the ALPHA collaboration with responsibility for positrons, antihydrogen synthesis, laser-spectroscopy and frequency metrology. Recent research highlights include the first laser spectroscopy of the 1s-2s transition in antihydrogen as a test of matter-antimatter symmetry, the first application of laser cooling to antimatter and observation of antimatter under the influence of gravity. The group has improved methods for antihydrogen synthesis such that the number of antiatoms has increased tenfold and reduced the uncertainty of frequency fluctuations in the experiment by a factor of one thousand. As a result, tests of fundamental symmetry with antihydrogen will become significantly more precise, allowing further exploration of the energy spectrum as well as direct comparisons with hydrogen. The successful candidate will be working at CERN with both the Swansea team and the ALPHA collaboration on the next generation of antihydrogen experiments. Responsibilities will include excited state laser spectroscopy of antihydrogen and investigation of non-destructive detection techniques of antimatter fluorescence. This will take place in an exciting multi-disciplinary experiment in an international context, where there is ample freedom for the successful candidate to have a significant impact on the future of antihydrogen physics. The successful candidate will have a PhD in physics. Experience in the synthesis, laser cooling, and spectroscopy of antihydrogen will be essential.

About The Role The Post-Doctoral Researcher (either Research Assistant or Research Officer, dependent on experience) will work on the Future Leaders Fellowship project ‘Rotationally controlled reactions’, led by Dr Helen Chadwick in the Department of Chemistry, which aims to use quantum state control to change the rate of reactions of closed-shell, ground state molecules in collisions with surfaces. The project will involve controlling the rotational orientation projection states of molecules such as hydrogen before they collide with the surface to study the effect that this has on the reactivity of the molecules with surfaces and energy exchange processes.
