Krisztian Peters

ATLAS experiment at the LHC

Krisztian Peters is Lead Scientist at DESY in the field of particle physics and Honorary Professor at University College London in the UK. His research activities focus on understanding the origin of mass and on searching for dark matter and other phenomena beyond the Standard Model of particle physics using the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. In addition, he is making leading contributions to a research and development programme that explores the research potential of future experiments in which superconducting resonators are to be used to detect high-frequency gravitational waves and axions.

Krisztian Peters previously conducted research at the D0 experiment at Fermilab in the USA and at the H1 experiment at DESY. His doctoral thesis dealt with the theory and phenomenology of strong and electroweak interactions.
