Nominator's project description

Professor Nason is highly recognised worldwide for his research in the field of elementary particle physics. He has made pioneering contributions to theoretical collider physics that have led to simulations of scattering processes at the Large Hadron Collider with unprecedented precision. During his stay in Germany, he will further improve on the precision of Monte Carlo simulations and their matching to fixed order calculations.
