Nominator's project description

Professor Ruderman is an internationally renowned physicist active at the forefront of research in theoretical particle physics. He has made significant contributions to the phenomenology of the Standard Model and beyond, using the experimental data collected at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN to constrain scenarios of new physics. Professor Ruderman has also proposed trailblazing models to explain the observed abundance of relic density of dark matter populating the whole universe. During his stay in Germany, he will focus on the origin of the charge-parity symmetry violation, which potentially sources the evident imbalance between matter and antimatter.
