Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor Tait is a world-leading researcher in theoretical particle physics and is well-known for his contributions to physics at hadron colliders and dark matter research. He is a driving force behind a unified theoretical description of different experimental strategies to identify dark matter particles and measure their properties. His work combines studies of gamma rays for example from the center of our galaxy, earth-based detectors searching for dark matter collisions with atoms, and dark matter searches at particle colliders. In Germany he plans to study new signatures at the Large Hadron Collider and the Cherenkov Telescope Array experiment. |
