Nominator's project description

Professor Wagner is a leading theoretical physicist. His research bridges the gap between experimental results from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and fundamental theories at high energies. For many years he has been a driving force behind searches for physics beyond the Standard Model, focussing on the Higgs boson and on the dark matter content of our Universe. In Germany, Professor Wagner works on Higgs physics and particle cosmology.
