Forschung
In TP1, we investigate the laws of nature that describe the elementary particles and the forces which describe their dynamics at very small distances/very high energies. Our research deals with conceptual aspects of Quantum Field Theory, with the development of mathematical methods to perform precision calculations within the Standard Model of Particle Physics and its possible extensions, as well as with phenomenological studies of dedicated observables at present or future collider experiments. Among others, we are interested in Heavy Quark Flavours, Quantum Chromodynamics, Higgs Physics, and physics Beyond the Standard Model.
