Thomas Jude

Dr. Thomas Jude is a researcher affiliated with the Physikalisches Institut at the University of Bonn's Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. His work focuses on experimental hadron physics using real photon beams, particularly investigating exotic hadron structures like multi-quark baryons and dibaryons. He coordinates the BGOOD experiment at the ELSA electron accelerator, analyzing forward kinematics data to explore phenomena such as the Lambda(1405) resonance and potential neutron star-relevant particles.

• Research Themes: Strangeness photoproduction, coherent photoproduction off deuterons, exotic hadron spectroscopy
• Experimental Platforms: ELSA accelerator facility

Recent work highlights include cusp-like structures in cross-section measurements and evidence for dibaryon states, both published in high-impact journals like Physics Letters B. His research bridges particle physics with astrophysical phenomena like neutron star composition.
