Die Emmy Noether-Nachwuchsgruppe lief bis 2021. Seit 2021 leitet Frank Siegert die Professur für Teilchenphysik in Vertretung von Michael Kobel.
Unsere Gruppe arbeitet an der Schnittstelle zwischen Experiment und Theorie für LHC-Messungen. Dabei beschäftigen wir uns vor allem mit der Berechnung von QCD-Effekten mit Hilfe von Monte Carlo-Simulation, und mit ATLAS-Messungen, die sensitiv auf die Modellierungsaspekte dieser Simulation sind.
Falls Sie schon immer Forschung mit Hilfe des Zufalls tätigen wollten, oder verstehen, warum Messungen und Vorhersagen für LHC-Kollisionen so schwierig aber auch interessant sind, dann melden Sie sich gern — auch im Hinblick auf Stellen für Abschlussarbeiten, Doktoranden oder Postdocs!

We have publically released the first measurement of diphoton production with the ATLAS detector at 13 TeV using the full data from Run-2. The analysis was performed fully by members our group (Christian, Heberth and Frank) and presented for the first time at ICHEP 2020 by Frank. - May 2020
Unfortunately postponed to later in the year(?) due to some virus...
