Gaseous particle detectors are essential in particle physics and radiation detection, encompassing technologies such as Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs), straw and drift tubes, Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs), drift chambers, and Time Projection Chambers (TPCs). These detectors – all under consideration for future experiments – differ in their underlying detector physics, readout, and specifications, yet all benefit from predictive modelling and simulation to guide design, gas choice, performance optimisation, and operation.
The EP-RD group has consolidated extensive expertise in this field, establishing frameworks that link microscopic processes — including electron transport, gas amplification and signal induction — with macroscopic detector response.
Building on this foundation, the fellowship will focus on two complementary objectives: development/support of modelling and simulation tools, and gas mixture optimisation and identification.
