Nominator's project description
| Dr. Quigg is a internationally recognised theoretical particle physicist. He did pioneering work on electroweak symmetry breaking, leading to a better understanding of the Higgs mechanism in the Standard Model of Elementary Particles. He further explained the pattern of quarkonium and showed the potential of ultra-high-energy neutrinos for cosmology and astroparticle physics. During his stay in Germany, he will further explore electroweak symmetry breaking, with focus on the Large Hadron Collider at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, CERN, in Geneva, as well as continue his theoretical studies in astroparticle physics. |
