Search for the proton decay
The most important proof of the validity of Grand Unification Theories would be the observation of the proton decay. One of the most promising experimental technique for such a search is a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber. Polish team is a member of international Collaboration ICARUS, that is using this experimental technique.
Search for CP violation in the η→π +π –e +e – decay
The CP violation in the flavour concerving process would be a signal of new physics.
The effect can arise in the distribution of the angle between pions and electrons production planes. The experiment will be performed using WASA detector at COSY accelerator. Due to the large acceptance of the detector the many body process can be effectively studied.
Polish group is a member of the WASAatCOSY International Collaboration. The candidate for PhD student will be involved both in hardware and the data analysis.
