Projects
The aim of this web page is to give examples of possible bachelor and master projects.You are also welcome just to pass by my office for a chat. I cannot guarantee that I am always around.
Our research is focused on the so-called Quark Gluon Plasma and good introductory articles are:
- Popular overview 2007
- Popular overview 2012
- Overview of first LHC results
- Quark Gluon Plasma (somewhat outdated now, but still gives a good overview)
- Jet quenching
- Popular note about flow (in danish) (prepared for the Danish magazine KVANT)
Data analysis
A hot topic at the moment is collective behavior in small systems (p-Pb, pp?, peripheral Pb-Pb?), where you can read my thoughts on this hereExamples of previous projects:

Hardware
Both for the ILC (future linear collider) and the ALICE TPC upgrade we are involved in the analysis of test beam data.- Example of bachelor and master projects Look for the theses of Tuva (bachelor), Lene (bachelor), and Martin (master, supervised by Leif Jönsson and Anders Oskarsson)
Simulation
We are working on simulating the ALICE TPC upgrade where we will have a new GEM readout (we have a reasonable big involvement there). I am also involved in the planning of a possible neutrino experiment at ESS.- Bachelor project: Identication and Tracking of Charged Leptons in the ESSνSB Near Detector Using the Time Dependence of the Cherenkov Signal (2017). Co-supervisor: Joakim Cederkäll.
- Master project: A Simulation Study on the Design of the Cherenkov Near Detector of the Proposed ESSnuSB (2015). Co-supervisor: Joakim Cederkäll.
