Machine Vision INTERNSHIP Ref. : DIFF_01
The Stress analyzer SALSA uses neutrons to determine stress-fields within engineering components with sub-millimetre resolution. The samples can be made of metals or ceramics can have dimensions from millimetres to metres and complex shapes. Precise orientation and positioning of the very diversive samples is vital for neutron measurements. A machine vision system consisting of 4 cameras and a National-Instruments (NI) interface is installed on the instrument. NI provides a library of functions that shall be embedded into a user friendly interface and extended by specific functionalities required by the applications of the SALSA instrument.
Activities of the trainee
Embedding the functions provided by the National-Instruments library into a user interface requires windows programming and advanced experience in C++ programming.
Level required
4 year university studies in programming
Language skill
As an international research centre, we are particularly keen to ensure that we also attract applicants from outside France. You must be able to communicate in English or in French.
Notes
This post is an internship with a maximum duration of 6months

Structure of neutron rich nuclei produced in fission experiments INTERNSHIP Ref. : NPP_03
Fission is the mechanism that can be used to populate nuclei far from stability and study their structure. By detecting gamma rays from excited fission fragments and analyzing multiple gamma-ray coincidences, nuclear level scheme can be reconstructed. Different campaigns took place in recent years at ILL, using n-induced fission and different experimental setups at the FIPPS instrument. The analysis of those data is of importance both for nuclear structure and for the instrument performance evaluation.
Activities of the trainee
The internship student will evaluate the performance of FIPPS in different fission campaigns. He/She will analyze multiple gamma-ray coincidence data for reconstructing level schemes in neutron-rich nuclei.
Level required
5 year university studies in Physics
