Professor Jaroslaw Nowak FHEA
Professor of Particle PhysicsResearch Overview
My research interests are in particle physics, and some of the current topics I investigate are:
- Resonance excitations and pion production in neutrino-nucleus interactions.
- Hyperon production in neutrino interactions.
- Nuclear effects in neutrino scattering.
- Neutrino magnetic moment search.
- Search for Dark Matter.
My research-related activities are
- Development of simulation software for neutrino interaction (leading author on NuWro generator and contributor of the resonance production model for the GENIE and NUANCE generators)
- Development, construction and installation of particle physics detectors (current: DUNE, SBND and DarkSide-20k. Past: NOvA, SMRD, HPTPC)
I am a member of DUNE, SBND, MicroBooNE and DarkSide-20k experiments.

PhD Supervision Interests
I am always looking for enthusiastic candidates for PhD projects. A couple of ideas for projects I am planning to run in the next few years are: http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/physics/research/particle-and-accelerator-physics/experimental-particle-physics/#d.en.349067 The possible PhD projects are not restricted to those listed on that website, and I will be happy to consider and discuss another project in neutrino physics.
