Work description

The atomic masses of exotic nuclei provide key information for the understanding of nuclear structure and astrophysics. At the Fragment Separator (FRS) at GSI, exotic nuclei are produced by projectile fragmentation and fission at relativistic energies, separated in-flight and range-bunched. At the FRS Ion Catcher experiment (FRS-IC) (https://www-windows.gsi.de/frs-ion-catcher/), nuclides are thermalized and stopped in a Cryogenic Stopping Cell (CSC), transported via versatile RFQ beamline to a Multiple-Reflection Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer (MR-TOF-MS) for high precision mass measurements or isobar and isomer separation. The FRS-IC also serves as a prototype for the future Ion Catcher at the Super-FRS.We are seeking motivated bachelor’s or master’s students with a background in LabVIEW programming to contribute to the development and control of tools and software for advanced physics experimental setups. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work at the interface of software engineering and experimental physics, optimizing and streamlining research systems to achieve cutting-edge results. Candidates should have hands-on experience with LabVIEW and an interest in instrumentation and experimental design. Familiarity with data acquisition, control systems, and user-interface development is highly desirable. Successful applicants will collaborate closely with researchers to develop custom solutions, troubleshoot existing systems, and improve overall performance and reliability. This position provides exposure to innovative research environments, and the chance to apply technical skills to meaningful scientific projects. If you are enthusiastic about combining programming expertise with experimental physics, we encourage you to apply and join our team in advancing experimental capabilities.Potential learning outcomes for the intern: 1. Advanced LabVIEW Programming Skills: Gain expertise in designing, implementing, and troubleshooting sophisticated LabVIEW-based software for controlling experimental setups, including data acquisition and instrumentation control.2. Practical Experience with Experimental Physics Systems: Develop hands-on knowledge of building and optimizing experimental setups, including integrating software with hardware for real-time data processing and analysis.3. Collaboration and Problem-Solving in Research Environments: Enhance your ability to work in interdisciplinary teams, address complex technical challenges, and contribute to innovative solutions in a cutting-edge physics research setting.
