The Payload for Ultra High Energy Observation (PUEO) experiment is a project that aims to detect ultra-high energy neutrinos and cosmic rays that exceed E18 eV. The experiment involves a payload that is flown over Antarctica to collect data. The next PUEO flight, scheduled for 2025, is an exciting opportunity for a student interested in astroparticle physics and data analysis. The student will work on the simulation to ensure that the detector design is optimised, they will test the hardware thoroughly, and (if possible) work on the commissioning and data taking.
Once the flight is concluded, the student will be responsible for developing data selection and clustering algorithms to analyse ultra-high energy neutrinos that originate from outside our galaxy. This challenging task will require the student to use their analytical skills to sift through vast amounts of data to identify the unique signals of these elusive particles. Overall, this project provides an excellent opportunity for a student to develop their technical skills, gain valuable experience in data analysis, and make a real contribution to the field of astroparticle physics.
