Nominator's project description

Dr. Bauer is well known internationally for his outstanding research in theoretical high-energy physics. He has made important contributions to the theory of the strong interactions of elementary particles. The soft-collinear effective theory, developed by Bauer and collaborators over the past 10 years, is a first-rate accomplishment, which has had an important impact on flavour and collider physics. In recent years, Dr. Bauer's research has focused on calculations required to analyse the data obtained with the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. During his stay in Germany, he intends to explore new ideas for collider-physics applications of his theory and intensify collaboration with his German colleagues.
