Nominator's project description
| The Physics of Elementary Particles examines the fundamental building bricks of matter and the forces acting between them. The experiments required here are carried out with large-scale particle accelerators, such as the biggest of its kind, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the CERN near Geneva. There, within the coming years, one is reckoning with answers to questions such as those regarding the origin of particle masses. According to the standard model, the currently recognised theory of fundamental interactions, it should be possible to discover the Higgs particle responsible for mass at the LHC. To this end, accurate theoretical forecasts have to be made for an experimental check that require extensive computations with sophisticated mathematical methods, such as those contributed to by Pierpaolo Mastrolia. In his project, he seeks to elaborate the mathematical models and employ them to compute processes that are relevant to the discovery of the Higgs particles. |
