GSC 1085: Karlsruhe School of Elementary Particle and Astroparticle Physics: Science and Technology (KSETA)
Final Report Abstract
The Karlsruhe School of Elementary Particle and Astroparticle Physics: Science and Technology (KSETA) is the doctoral school of the KIT Center Elementary Particle and Astroparticle Physics (KCETA). The School covers the research fields of elementary particle physics, astroparticle physics, and related advanced technologies. The School’s distinguishing feature is the joint doctoral research of young physicists and engineers on thesis topics centered around large-scale projects of particle and astroparticle physics. This concept builds on – and in turn strengthens – the key feature of KIT, which combines the vivid academic environment of a university with the “big science” infrastructure of a national research center. An important characteristic of the School is the international, multicultural environment that originates from our participations in the AMS, Auger, Belle-II, CMS, EDELWEISS, IceCube and KATRIN collaborations and from the large number of foreign scientists in the KIT Center KCETA. The leitmotif of the School is the optimal training of young researchers for careers in science and industry through research within international interdisciplinary large-scale projects. The doctoral researchers may enter the School with a Master degree in physics, engineering, or informatics/ computer science. Our course programme for doctoral researchers follows the motto “Deeper · Broader · Better”: First, the doctoral researchers are introduced to the state-of-the-art of their individual fields of research (”Deeper”). Second, KSETA bridges the gaps of knowledge between physicists and engineers to build a strong base for their common research (”Broader”). Third, the School improves the personal and social skills of its members (”Better”). Our KSETA Topical Courses on Physics and Technology are semi-annual block courses and mostly conducted by external experts. In total we held 90 courses, 20% thereof in the category ”Deeper”, 52% in the category ”Broader”, and 28% in the category ”Better”. Other elements of KSETA doctoral training are two annual workshops involving external lecturers and presentations of the doctoral researchers, opportunities for common research with guest scientists or foreign summer interns, support for conference travel and short-term postdoc contracts for a short period directly after graduation. The School comprises 43 principal investigators and 123 doctoral researchers. 28% of our current doctoral researchers obtained their MSc degree in a foreign country. During the reporting period 167 PhD theses have been completed. Of these 20% are authored by women, while only 15% of KIT’s MSc graduates in physics are female. 48% of all supported doctoral researchers (alumni and current) have worked in particle physics, 33% in astroparticle physics, and 19% in electrical or mechanical engineering or informatics. The KSETA Doctoral Fellows co-authored more than 450 scientific articles in refereed journals.
