Christian Schwanenberger
CMS experiment at the LHC
Christian Schwanenberger is Lead Scientist at DESY and Professor at the University of Hamburg. He is member of the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva and of the D0 experiment at the Tevatron collider at Fermilab, USA. His main topic of research is elementary particle physics. In particular, he focuses on precision measurements of the properties of the top quark and its electroweak and strong couplings, the interaction between the top quark and the Higgs boson, searches for supersymmetric and other exotic extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics as well as searches for dark matter.
