Theses<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A thesis with our group is an excellent way to join us and experience what it is like to conduct research in nuclear physics. We are always happy to offer bachelor\u2019s, master\u2019s, and PhD theses. Based on our most recent projects (see Research<\/a>), the activities are tailored to the students\u2019 interests and the group\u2019s needs. Students will generally perform data analysis and contribute to the development of detectors and related software or electronics, working in a diverse and international environment. For master\u2019s and PhD students, there is often the opportunity to be involved in the entire project, taking responsibility from detector development and data taking, to data analysis, and finally to publication. Students will acquire both hard and soft skills that can be applied beyond the academic world. INFN funds travel, accommodation, and meals for master\u2019s and PhD students to participate in our experiments and to attend workshops and conferences worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bachelor’s Theses at ISOLDE, CERN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The University of Florence has an agreement with CERN for activities at the bachelor\u2019s level. INFN funds travel, accommodation, and meals for the participating students. Within our group, it is possible to carry out bachelor\u2019s theses at CERN\u2019s ISOLDE facility in Geneva, Switzerland. ISOLDE is the reference centre for radioactive ion beam production and acceleration in Europe and hosts several experiments. Previous students have worked on the Miniball, ISS and WIZARD experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bachelor’s and Master’s Theses at International Labs with INFN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each year, INFN launches a national call for undergraduate and master\u2019s students to carry out thesis projects at international nuclear physics laboratories. The fellowship covers all travel, accommodation, and meals. Within our group, students can apply to spend a research period at the INFN national laboratories in Italy or abroad, at facilities such as ANL (USA), FRIB (USA), or GANIL (France), working on experimental topics related to nuclear structure, reactions, and applications. These opportunities are part of INFN\u2019s broader activities in nuclear physics, coordinated by its dedicated scientific commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
