Plötzlich sichtbar: Neues Teilchen stellt alte Überzeugungen infrage
"
"Forschende der Universität Hamburg und des DESY haben Hinweise auf das schwer fassbare Toponium gefunden. Mit dieser Entdeckung könnte die grundlegende Struktur aller Materie noch detaillierter entschlüsselt werden."

The #TopQuark decays too fast to hadronize. Its lifetime (~5×10⁻²⁵ s) is shorter than #QCD timescales (~10⁻²⁴ s). So we see a "bare" quark decay: t → W + b, before confinement. A rare clean look into quark physics. 🧪⚛️ #Science #ParticlePhysics #Physics Image: commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:To...

Quantum Entanglement between “Top Quarks” at the Highest Energies Observed  
The researchers at CERN have succeeded in observing quantum entanglement between “top quarks” and at the highest energies. This...........

#introduction #reintroduction for all the new folks around here I'm hearing about.

I'm an experimental particle physicist working on the CMS experiment. My primary foci at the moment are top quark physics through the lens of EFT (effective field theory), and FPGA programming for the purpose of development, testing, and operations of detector electronics.

Before CMS, I worked on the SuperCDMS experiment looking for dark matter. I developed the level 1 trigger for the upcoming SuperCDMS run at SNOLAB, and also developed the simulation of the transition edge sensors and charge sensors that are part of the SuperCDMS detectors.

Before SuperCDMS, I worked on the CDF (Collider Detector at Fermilab) experiment. There, I studied the top quark and the Higgs boson. I performed the world's first-ever published search for ttH production, and measured the forward-backward asymmetry in top-antitop production at the Tevatron.
