Advanced Light Source
This group is the ALS insertion device R&D group, part of ALS experimental systems group. We are responsible for establishing physics requirements for new insertion devices and assessing performance of devices after construction. Insertion devices are specialized magnetic devices that in conjunction with high energy electron beams, produce very bright radiation in x-ray spectrum.
The student will be involved in analysis of data and computer simulations to calculate radiation spectra from a specialized undulator designed to produce elliptically polarized radiation. The work will involve development of computer software, and use of computer for data analysis.
The student will have a general exposure to research at the ALS, a state of the art synchrotron light source, including chemical dynamics, material science, and biological imaging.
The student should have strong physical science background. Experience and interest in computer programming is helpful. Other areas of experience/interest that are helpful: instrumentation, electronics, mechanical design.
Majors: Engineering physics, physics, mechanical engineering, electronics.
