IHEP CAS Career Information Session

An event at CERN highlighting job opportunities at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Introduction to IHEP

The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), a Chinese Academy of Sciences research institute, is the largest laboratory for the study of particle physics in China. IHEP is the professional home of over 1500 full-time employees, as well as more than 900 postdocs and graduate students. Since particle physics is a very collaborative and international field, IHEP also has partnerships and experimental collaborations with dozens of universities and research institutions across China and the world.

Opportunities

IHEP is always searching for more excellent scientists and engineers, at all career stages, to join us in exploring this amazing universe. We have long-term and short-term opportunities available in our world-class research programmes, which include the fields of high energy physics, particle astrophysics, computer science, cosmology, synchrotron radiation, and advanced accelerator physics. These positions come with a highly competitive funding package and salary.

About the event at CERN

This event offers insight into career opportunities at IHEP, with short presentations by different IHEP divisions. Presentations will cover available positions and research programmes associated with the JUNO, BES, CEPC, CSNS, HEPS, LHASSO, AliCPT, eXTP, HERD, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb experiments, as well as with accelerators, computing, and other fields. The event will also feature a discussion session to answer audience questions.

CERN Neutrino Platform Pheno Week 2023

“Neutrino physics is largely the art of learning a great deal by observing nothing.” This quote attributed to Israeli physicist Haim Harari, while not doing justice to modern neutrino detectors for which event pile-up is an actual issue, nevertheless illustrates the fascination exuded by the lightest of all (known) fermions.

The goal of the CERN Neutrino Platform Pheno Week 2023 is to bring together those who share this fascination around the world. The focus of the workshop will be primarily on phenomenology and theory and will cover the following topics:

  • long-baseline oscillations
  • short-baseline physics
  • models of flavor
  • neutrinos at the LHC (FASERν, SND@LHC)
  • neutrino interactions and cross-sections
  • physics beyond the Standard Model (including neutrinoless double beta decay)
  • neutrino astrophysics / neutrino astronomy
  • neutrino cosmology

Confirmed speakers include Asli Abdullahi, Akitaka Ariga, Adi Ashkenazi, K.S. Babu, John Beacom, Alexey Boyarsky, Luis Alvarez-Ruso, Basudeb Dasgupta, Enrique Fernandez-Martinez, Kohta Murase, Serguey Petcov, Noemi Rocco, Kai Schmitz, Eleonora di Valentino, Wenjie Wu, and Xunjie Xu

Format: the workshop will be in hybrid format (in-person + Zoom). In-person attendance will be limited to around 80 participants.

Registration: There is no registration fee. Applications to attend in-person and/or give a talk will be open until February 12, 2023. For online-only participation, also later applications will be considered. If you are interested in giving a talk, please register before January 15th, indicating the proposed title, as we will begin reviewing talk requests after that date.

Travel support: limited funds are available to support some participants’ expenses.

Physics Beyond Colliders Annual Workshop

The main goal of this annual workshop is to review the status of the PBC studies continued or launched after the European Particle Physics Strategy update, with a focus on the programmes under consideration for start of operation after the next LHC long shutdown LS3. The workshop is also opened to presentation of new ideas of potential interest for CERN, after submission along the guidelines given on the PBC Home Page.

Organising Committee:

Gianluigi Arduini, Joerg Jaeckel, Claude Vallée

International Conference on Quantum Technology for High-Energy Physics

Registration is now open for the International Conference on Quantum Technology for High-Energy Physics, which will be hosted at CERN on 1–4 November 2022.

Following CERN’s successful workshop on quantum computing in 2018, this is the first edition of the #QT4HEP conference taking place to further investigate the nascent quantum technology and its great promise to support scientific research.

Bringing the whole community together, we aim to foster common activities and knowledge sharing, discuss the recent developments in the quantum science field and keep looking for activities within HEP — and beyond — that can most benefit from the application of quantum technologies.

The event will cover a number of topics ranging from four quantum technology areas (theory, sensing, computing, communication), to collaborations with academia and industry, entrepreneurship, training and education activities.

There will also be a series of tutorials and hands-on sessions co-developed with companies and providers, to explore the fascinating field of quantum science to its possible fullest.

We look forward to welcoming you to the event!

Physics of Fundamental Symmetries and Interactions (PSI2022)

The workshop focuses on the physics at the low energy, high precision frontier without neglecting complementary approaches. It aims at highlighting present activities and future developments.
Scientific Topics
  • Low energy precision tests of the Standard Model
  • Experiments with muons, pions, neutrons, antiprotons, other particles and atoms
  • Searches for permanent electric dipole moments
  • Searches for symmetry violations and new forces
  • Precision measurements of fundamental constants
  • Exotic atoms and molecules
  • New tools and facilities
The Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) itself offers unique opportunities for experiments in this realm: it houses the world’s most powerful proton cyclotron and the highest intensity low momentum pion and muon beams and the new ultracold neutron source.

CHIPP winter school of particle physics

The Swiss Institute for Particle Physics (CHIPP) hosts an annual winter school based on the  activities of the swiss institutes involved in particle and astro-particle physics.  The purpose of the school is to offer young physicists an opportunity to learn about recent advances in elementary-particle physics from local and world-leading researchers. The school program includes lectures on accelerator and non-accelerator particle physics (detectors, LHC physics, neutrinos, astrophysics, flavor physics) from an experimental and phenomenological perspective.

International Conference on Strings, Fields and Holograms

Understanding quantum gravity is one of the main open questions in modern theoretical physics. Holographic duality constitutes a major advance in this direction linking together quantum field theory and quantum gravity and in particular string theory. This meeting aims to bring together a diverse set of international experts working on the intersecting fields of string theory, quantum field theory and holography.
