Research Summary
My primary research focuses on the ATLAS detector experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC is a cutting-edge high-energy, high-luminosity experimental facility in particle physics, providing unprecedented opportunities to study significant physical phenomena at the TeV energy scale, such as the Higgs boson, spontaneous symmetry breaking of the electroweak interaction, dark matter, gravitons, and supersymmetry. Since the ATLAS detector began collecting data in 2009, I have been dedicated to exploring TeV-scale physics, utilizing the accumulated experimental data to investigate and uncover the fundamental nature of these major physical issues.
The topics I have participated in and am currently researching include:
1. Precise measurement of multiple boson production processes (testing the precise predictions of electroweak gauge theory);
2. Studying partial diboson and dilepton decay channels of the Higgs boson (testing the coupling constants of the Higgs boson and exploring new physics possibilities related to spontaneous symmetry breaking);
3. Searching for dark matter, gravitons, and other significant new physics predictions using specific experimental final states.
I have held several positions within collaboration groups, such as a member of the Speakers Committee, head of the ATLAS Electroweak Multi-Boson Group, and head of the Quark Pair Production Group.
Additionally, my other research interests include:
1. Pre-research on next-generation accelerator experiments;
2. Non-accelerator precision particle physics experiments seeking new physics;
3. New solid-state detector technologies.
