Nominator's project description

Professor Han is internationally recognized for his outstanding research in the field of particle-physics phenomenology. He has contributed significant results to the understanding of the Higgs boson and of electro-weak interactions at high-energy colliders, of neutrino physics and of signatures of phenomena beyond the Standard Model of elementary particles. In Germany, he intends to study quantum correlations in Large Hadron Collider (LHC) scattering processes and to investigate the physics potential of novel collider concepts.
