Theory PhD project: PanScale project

Supervisor: Dr Keith Hamilton

Parton shower simulations are the most widely used theoretical tools in particle physics. Every LHC analysis, for example, heavily relies on their predictions. The PanScales project aims to provide the most accurate parton shower simulations to date. UCL is a core member of the PanScales team. The range of potential topics to study during a PhD on this project is broad, from novel phenomenological studies, to more formal QCD resummation theory and MC algorithm development. Such studies cover a range of activity, taking in conceptual theoretical work, computer-based symbolic calculation, C++, HPC, and high-precision numerics. Details of the PhD will be adapted to students' aptitudes and interests within the scope of the project. More details on the UCL Standard Model Theory and Phenomenology group are available here.
