6 -With the acquisition of new data at a faster pace than ever, maintaining and verifying its quality is of paramount importance for greater precision measurements and improved searches for physics beyond the Standard Model at LHCb. In this project, the student will give the very first look at the newly-acquired 2026 data, i.e. only a few months old, through the study of the decay B→KS J/ψ. This high-statistics channel allows for a very clear study of, on the one hand, reconstruction effects, providing results of great impact for the whole collaboration, and on the other hand, detailed aspects of signal selection tools such as ML algorithms and particle identification, directly contributing to a world-leading search for New Physics. In both aspects, the student will have the opportunity to develop their knowledge of standard Particle Physics techniques, as well as develop their own tools and measurables for data and simulation quality evaluations.
6 +This project will explore new ways to communicate IGFAE’s strategic research areas—particle/astroparticle/nuclear physics, as well as Quantum IST, to young audiences. The goal will be to analyse the science communication & outreach on video formats, with some case studies (e.g. CERN, Fermilab, DESY, IFT, among others) to identify which formats, narrative structures and resources are more effective to communicate physics in an engaging way, whilst maintaining academic rigour.

8 +This analysis will be compared with the IGFAE’s social media activity, with the aim of proposing new ideas & approaches to help improve the Institute’s outreach activities in this area, in line with the 2025–2030 Communication Plan.
