Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Iain Stewart is internationally well known for his contributions to the understanding of jets, clusters of energetic hadrons appearing in collider experiments and particle decays. He developed a formalism called "Soft-collinear Effective Theory", which describes jets in a systematic expansion starting from the fundamental theory describing the interactions of quarks and gluons. During his stay in Germany he will use the method to study processes at the new Large-Hadron-Collider.
