I am working for the CDF experiment at the Tevatron
proton/anti-proton collider located at Fermilab, Batavia,
Illinois, U.S.A.
One main analysis goal of me and my colleagues at LBNL is the precision
measurement of the
mass of the heaviest fundamental particle discovered so
far, the top quark.
First results based on early 162 pb-1 data were reported in
Fermilab Today (May 20th, 2004). See also our
public
results page to learn about our method.
JADE Resurrection Project:
I made the data of the "historical" JADE experiment at PETRA
(operated between 1979-1986) available for state-of-the-art QCD
studies and also reactivated the original JADE detector simulation
and event reconstruction software on modern computer
platforms. (Click here to see some nice
event display pictures.)
Experimental tests of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD):
Measurements of the QCD strong coupling constant
using
electron/positron annihilation data at center-of-mass energies
14-44 GeV.
Investigation of non-perturbative effects (power corrections)
to hadronic event shape observables.
Global QCD analyses using data from experiments at the PETRA
(DESY) and LEP
(CERN)
colliders.
