Markus Prim

Dr. Markus Prim is a researcher at the University of Bonn, affiliated with the working group of Prof. Dr. Florian Bernlochner in the Department of Physics and Astronomy within the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. His work focuses on experimental and phenomenological studies of beauty quarks, contributing to major international experiments including Belle, Belle II, and FASER at CERN.

The research group specializes in precision measurements of fundamental parameters in the Standard Model, particularly the determination of CKM matrix elements |V_ub| and |V_cb|, and investigates anomalies related to Lepton Flavor Universality. They are also deeply involved in the development of advanced semiconductor pixel detectors for high-energy physics experiments, especially the Belle II pixel detector.

Dr. Prim’s research integrates theoretical phenomenology with experimental data analysis and leverages machine learning techniques to enhance detector performance and reconstruction algorithms. The group plays a leading role in multivariate reconstruction of beauty hadrons and in advancing the sensitivity of forward physics searches at the LHC.

No scientific awards or specific publications authored by Dr. Prim are mentioned in the provided texts.

He is involved in advising and research grants indirectly through the broader group activities, which include funding from national and international sources supporting participation in ATLAS, Belle II, and FASER. The team collaborates closely with institutions like KEK in Japan and CERN in Switzerland.

Dr. Prim is part of the SiLAB Bonn and PXD collaboration, actively contributing to detector development, deployment, and R&D for next-generation CMOS sensors. The group also explores applications of these detectors in medical imaging and material science, highlighting interdisciplinary impacts of their work.
