Nominator's project description

Professor Murayama is an internationally renowned theoretical physicist working at the cross road between particle physics phenomenology, astroparticle and cosmology. His supersymmetry anomaly mediation mechanism is one of the most iconic scenarios searched for at the Large Hadron Collider. During his stay in Germany, he will further his research on models of new physics aiming at addressing simultaneously the Higgs mass hierarchy problem and the Dark Matter abundance.
