Overview
At the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Starting date: June 1, 2010, or as agreed upon.
A PhD student position in Theoretical Hadron Physics is available at the Division of Nuclear and Particle Physics within the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
Hadron physics is on the borderline between nuclear and high-energy physics dealing with the particles made out of quarks and gluons. Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the accepted theory, which describes on the fundamental level of quarks and gluons the strong interaction as one of the four elementary forces of nature. Yet there are many aspects of QCD that are not fully understood, most prominently the phenomenon of confinement - the observation that quarks and gluons cannot be isolated as single particles but rather form composite objects, the hadrons. The best known hadrons are the proton and the neutron, which form the atomic nuclei, but much more types of hadrons are created and studied in particle-collision experiments. It is the goal of hadron physics to understand the hadron properties such as masses, life times, reaction rates and intrinsic structure. In theoretical hadron physics mathematical methods are developed which serve to understand and predict the properties of hadrons.
Research activities carried out in theoretical hadron physics at Uppsala University:
■ to develop effective field theories for hadronic resonances based on the symmetries of QCD (extensions of chiral perturbation theory)
■ to explore the intrinsic structure of various hadrons
(hadronic substructure or "directly" quarks and/or gluons)
■ to compare the results from effective field theories and lattice QCD
(to learn more about hadronic interactions)
■ to describe production, decays and reactions of hadrons
(in close contact with experiments)

Application requirements
The application should include: CV, undergraduate study record and diplomas/degrees, any other supporting documentation such as project reports from previous research related work, letters of recommendation and/or names and contact information of two reference persons. You do not need to have obtained your undergraduate degree at the time of application, but it is needed for admission.
