Jørgen Beck Hansen

Jørgen Beck Hansen is an Associate Professor at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, specializing in Experimental Subatomic Physics. His career spans roles at CERN and NBI, focusing on particle physics detectors, high-energy collisions, and computational methods.

• Education: Ph.D. in Particle Physics (1996) and M.Sc. in Physics (1993) from the University of Copenhagen.

Research interests include two-boson physics at the ATLAS detector, precision measurements within the Standard Model, effective Lagrangian densities, and searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model (e.g., Higgsless theories, extra dimensions). He also works on GRID computing and distributed data analysis.

Recent trends in his research involve Higgs boson studies, vectorlike top quarks, photonuclear collisions, and detector trigger optimization. Collaborative efforts with the ATLAS Collaboration and Danish NORDUGRID team highlight his interdisciplinary approach.

Scientific awards:

• Skou Stipend (Assistant Professor) from the Danish Natural Science Council

Teaching and supervision include mentoring 5 summer students, 2 Ph.D., 4 Master's, and 10 Bachelor's students. He has contributed to popular science through Danish Cosmic Rays at Schools and public lectures.

Labs and teams: Actively involved in the ATLAS Collaboration and the Danish NORDUGRID team for distributed computing infrastructure.
