Nominator's project description

Professor Becher is internationally recognized for his pioneering contributions to understanding the quantum dynamics of high-energy scattering processes at particle colliders. He has developed novel effective field theories addressing fundamental challenges. During his stay in Germany, he intends to investigate the precise mechanism of color-coherence violation at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. His aim is to lay the groundwork for more accurate predictions and improved searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.
