Job Description



About your role:



  • Further development of high-precision RF field control of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities used in gravitational wave search experiments.
  • Further development of carrier suppression interferometer (CSI)-based techniques and their integration to the low-level RF (LLRF) system
  • Development, production, test and operation of state-of-the-art RF measurement devices, to be installed at our cavity test stands
  • Development of algorithms to assess and automate the calibration of the RF control and measurement system
  • Performing measurement studies using the developed system on SRF cavities with a very high quality-factor
