Nominator's project description

Professor Matthias Neubert is one of the leading theoretical physicists in the field of electroweak and strong interactions of elementary particles. He has succeeded to make reliable predictions for particle decays, in particular for non - leptonic processes where the quantitative understanding of the influence of the strong interactions is a great challenge. Many experiments concerning the violation of the fundamental symmetry of combined parity and charge conjugation are based one his pioneering work. During his research stay in Heidelberg he plans precision studies of rare decays of b-mesons, and also to work on cosmology.
