ERC project and team

Babette’s research is also funded through the European Research Council (ERC) under grant ERC-2018-StG-802836 (AxScale). The project revolves around axion searches with the Kaon-physics experiment NA62 and with RADES (see this story describing some of our recent results.)

Within the ERC project and the Lise Meitner group, there are openings on Postdoc, PhD and Master/Bachelor level, both in NA62 and RADES/babyIAXO. Please contact Babette directly for further information.
