====== Stefan Gieseke ====== | ===== Anke Biekötter ===== |
| |
Research interests: The simulation of exclusive final states at colliders with Monte Carlo Methods. Our research aims at the best possible description of all possible final states, first and foremost at the Large Hadron Collider but possibly also for collisions of electrons and positrons or hadrons when they are hit by cosmic particles at very high energies. We improve the standard model description, mostly of the strong interaction (Quantum Chromodynamics, QCD) with systematic perturbative methods or with models for strong hadronic interactions. | Research interests: Exploring physics beyond the Standard Model with effective field theories, SMEFT, axion-like particles, global fits; modern analysis techniques, machine learning. |

| ===== Jens Boos ===== |
| |
| Research interests: We connect black hole phenomenology (optical and gravitational wave signals) to new physics (non-singular black hole models, early universe phase transitions, and post-Riemannian gravity and spacetime torsion). |

precision calculations, which we do both within and beyond the Standard Model. | |
We also combine Effective Field Theory parametrisations of BSM | |
effects with higher order corrections and perform phenomenological studies of anomalous couplings in the Yukawa and gauge boson sectors. | |
Scattering amplitudes: we aim to largely automate the calculation of scattering amplitudes beyond one loop. An important aspect here is the numerical evaluation of multi-loop Feynman | |
diagrams, as well as a better understanding of the mathematical structure of scattering amplitudes. | |
