Queen Mary University of London 4500 staff, 26000 students - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Queen Mary University of London

4500 staff, 26000 students (including 4000 outside the UK) 91% UG from state schools, 60% BAME, 42% first in family in HE 5th in UK for quality of research outputs in REF2014

Particle Physics Research Centre

One of the 4 main research groups in the School of Physics and Astronomy 8 academics, 12 research staff, 19 PhD students ATLAS: Higgs measurements in VH -> bb+X Higgs measurements in mu-mu BSM Higgs searches in di-Higgs and A->Zh Dark Matter and SUSY searches Precision EWK measurements ATLAS Upgrade: ITk and L1Calo trigger Detector R&D zero mass silicon detectors

• rganic neutron detectors

PPRC and DUNE

Expect to eventually have 4 academic staff associated with DUNE Hiring 2 new academics over the next year – advert going through QMUL approval at the moment – should be live very soon Currently also able to commit 0.5 FTE electrical engineer (in post) and 0.5 FTE PDRA (post vacant) Other synergies with ATLAS trigger/DAQ effort could be exploited Anticipate having a PhD student from next October Synergy with GridPP activities allow some bits of PDRA time to be available for computing

PPRC and DUNE

Interested in contributing to the Near Detector Should align with other “local” activities on ND (IC, RHUL,…) HPgTPC

• DAQ, Electronics, and software and computing

Build on existing expertise:

• ATLAS trigger DAQ, ATLAS trigger upgrade, ATLAS ITk
• AI, ML, algorithms, Grid Computing

Steps underway:

• Terry Froy: perfSONAR mesh for DUNE and networking
• Dan Traynor: getting DUNE jobs running at QMUL, CPU and GPU
• Karen Hayrapetyan: discussing with Jen Raaf possible tasks for now

Should also align with background of new academic
