Research in experimental particle physics and very-high-energy gamma-ray physics is conducted within the CMS collaboration at CERN, the MAGIC collaboration, and the CTA collaboration within the working group building the Large Size Telescope (LST).
Members of the CMS collaboration are actively involved in measuring the properties of the Higgs boson, studying aspects of left-right (LR) symmetric theories of electroweak interactions, and searching for leptoquarks at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In addition to direct research activities, the group is involved in the operation and development of the electromagnetic calorimeter of the CMS detector, as well as the HGCAL project, which is aimed at developing the future forward calorimeter of CMS.
The group’s activities within the MAGIC collaboration are related to data quality assessment for the MAGIC telescopes and the search for Galactic sources of the highest-energy cosmic rays (PeV). This is enabled by the detection of gamma rays with energies above 100 TeV through the development of observation techniques at large zenith angles.
Within the CTA consortium, we participate in the working group responsible for building the largest telescope, the Large Size Telescope (LST). Our group is responsible for the design, construction, commissioning, and maintenance of systems for precise measurement, calibration, and correction of the telescope’s pointing.
Theoretical research in particle and field physics focuses on aspects of leptoquark production and measurement at the LHC, proton decay phenomenology, Grand Unified Theories, and the flavor dynamics of quarks and leptons.
