About
Prof. Adrian Signer is a Professor at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland, affiliated with the Laboratory for Theoretical Physics. His research focuses on high-precision calculations in particle physics, particularly in quantum electrodynamics (QED), hadronic physics, and muon physics. He is actively involved in developing theoretical tools for experiments at PSI and other high-energy facilities.
His research interests span theoretical particle physics, including precision calculations for lepton physics, radiative corrections, event generation for collider experiments, and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model through charged lepton flavor violation. His work bridges theoretical predictions and experimental measurements, providing essential computational frameworks for high-precision experiments.
Analysis of his recent publications (2019-2025) reveals a consistent emphasis on advancing precision in muon physics and low-energy hadronic cross sections. Key contributions include NNLO QED calculations via the McMule framework, high-precision muon decay predictions for axion-like particle searches, and theoretical support for electron-positron collision experiments. His work demonstrates strong integration of effective field theories and Monte Carlo methods to solve complex problems in particle phenomenology.
