Kerstin Tackmann

Experiments ATLAS and Belle II

Kerstin Tackmann is Leading Scientist at DESY and professor for experimental particle physics at Universität Hamburg. She is member of the ATLAS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, and of the Belle II collaboration at KEK in Tsukuba, Japan. Her research at the ATLAS experiment focuses on the measurement of the properties of the Higgs boson, which was discovered by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations in 2012. At the Belle II experiment, she is interested in B-meson decays that allow to determine quark-mixing as well as the b-quark mass. In the past, Kerstin Tackmann has worked at the BABAR experiment at SLAC in California, USA.
