Nominator's project description
| Professor Haber is a specialist in theoretical elementary particle physics. He is highly renowned for his work on collider physics and the physics of Higgs bosons. He is a co-author of "The Higgs Hunter's Guide", which provided a blueprint for Higgs searches at current and future colliders. He has made several pioneering contributions to the field of supersymmetry phenomenology, and co-authored one of the major early reviews that subsequently defined this field. Prof. Haber has also written a number of seminal papers on the properties of Higgs bosons in supersymmetric theories. In particular, this work demonstrated that there is an upper bound for the mass of the lightest Higgs boson of the supersymmetric Standard Model, which (when radiative corrections are taken into account) cannot be more than about 135 GeV. The search for Higgs bosons in this mass range is one of the key activities of the LHC. Prof. Haber is a regular contributor to the Particle Data Group's Review of Particle Physics. In Germany, he will continue his work on LHC physics, focusing on the new upcoming data, with the hope of finding evidence for and interpretations of new physics beyond the Standard Model. |
