5 +The recent technological demonstration of the ability to reconstruct minimum ionizing particles and time-tagging the interaction, simultaneously, by using ultra-fast optical cameras (2ns event rate) is transformational towards next-generation neutrino and rare event experiments. The ability to reconstruct the interaction at 2mm-sampling and 1ns-resolution, for the first time in gas phase, will allow to reconstruct the neutrino interaction to unprecedented precision in next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments, such as DUNE.

7 +We aim at an experimental campaign in July this year, designed to explore the pressure range above atmospheric (1-3bar) and establish the detector performance in those conditions, about half its way towards the envisaged conditions of our technological demonstrator (7bar).

9 +Besides participating in the experimental campaign, working as part of a team, we expect the student to help processing the event images, and characterizing the detector performance in view of its final application as a neutrino detector.
