Biography
Dr Róbert Králik is a Research Associate in Particle Physics in the Department of Physics at King’s College London. He specialises in experimental neutrino physics, contributing to three key areas: supporting the continued operation and scientific output of the Super-Kamiokande detector by organising its deuterium-tritium calibration; preparing the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment for operation through the testing and quality assurance of its light readout systems; and working on the joint analysis of atmospheric and beam neutrino data from the Super-K and T2K collaborations, which provides some of the most precise measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters to date.
Before joining King’s, Róbert worked on the NOvA experiment at Fermilab, USA, which earned him his PhD at the University of Sussex. There, he focused on detector calibration using cosmic muons and leading an analysis of neutrino-on-electron elastic scattering interactions to search for signs of a neutrino magnetic moment.
Róbert also completed a master’s degree in experimental neutrino physics at Charles University in Prague. During his time in Prague, he helped reduce systematic uncertainties from neutrino beams for the sterile neutrino analysis in NOvA.
