SNSF Swiss Postdoctoral Fellowship starts for Florian Jörg
We congratulate our group member Florian Jörg for being awarded with the Postdoctoral Fellowship of the Swiss National Science Foundation and wish the project great success.
The SNSF Swiss Postdoctoral Fellowship was awarded to our group member Florian Jörg, for the "application of radon mitigating surface coatings in a large scale liquid xenon detector". The project aims to reduce radioactive radon backgrounds in future liquid xenon detectors used to search for dark matter and neutrinoless double beta decay. The electrochemical plating method is jointly developed with the Max-Planck-Institut for nuclear physics in Heidelberg (Germany) and will be validated for the first time in a large detector environment at the University of Zurich.
