Project work in the field of accelerator technology and physics. The projects contribute to the further development of accelerator technology as well as to the planning of future accelerator facilities. Accelerator technology and physics span a broad field and possible topics include, e.g.
Depending on the topic, the projects are carried out at TU, at the centre for ion beam therapyand research MedAustron or at CERN. Students exchange ideas with international and interdisciplinary research groups within the framework of their project.
After an introduction to the research area and the relevant tools, the students work independently on answering a specific research question. For this purpose, problem-specific simulation frameworks (e.g. X-Suite, MAD-X/cpymad, Geant4, FLUKA, ...) and/or measurements at particle accelerators (e.g. CERN, MedAustron) are performed, analyzed and documented.
