HADES at GSI
HADES is an experiment to measure dilepton production in relativistic heavy ion collisions. It is in operation, at GSI by an international collaboration of 17 institutions from 9 European countries. My diploma thesis was on a gas-quality measurement system for the HADES Multiwire-Driftchambers.
LHCb at CERN
LHCb is a high-energy physics experiment for precise measurements of CP Violation and rare Decays. I did my doctoral thesis in the LHCb muon group, working on the development of the Multiwire Proportional Chambers for the LHCb Muon System and on detector physics of resistive plate chambers.
ALICE at CERN
ALICE studies the physics of strongly interacting matter at extreme energy densities, where the formation of a new phase of matter, the quark-gluon plasma, is expected. The Transition Radiation Detector of ALICE is for electron identification, tracking and triggering on high momentum electron pairs. The Time Projection Chamber is the main tracking device of the ALICE experiment and also provides particle identification.
Research Interests
Relativistic heavy-ion collisions, detector physics, particle identification techniques.
