speciality
Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD) describing the strong interaction of quarks mediated by gluons, with major unsolved problems regarding novel features of the QCD "colour" force field and the related "confinement" of quarks. This includes the celebrated Lund model.

Method Phenomenology (= experiment-oriented theory) including mathematical modelling and computer simulations facilitating detailed comparisons to experimental data and predictions for future experiments or astrophysical observations.
Projects
  • Development of Monte Carlo simulation programs
  • Study of QCD phenomena in ep at HERA and pp at Tevatron and LHC
  • Diffractive hard scattering and rapidity gaps, incl. Higgs + gaps at LHC
  • Soft colour interactions based on QCD rescattering resulting in rapidity gaps and charmonium production
  • Model for the distributions (x-shape) of quarks and gluons in the proton
  • Using the Moon to detect ultra-high energy cosmic neutrinos
