معرفی
Karol Kampf is a Professor at the Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics within the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University in Prague. His research bridges theoretical particle physics with experimental work at CERN, particularly through his leadership role in the NA62 experiment. He has held positions at prestigious institutions including Lund University, ETH Zurich, and CNRS in France before returning to Charles University.

Kampf's research focuses on theoretical aspects of particle physics, particularly scattering amplitudes and effective field theories. His work spans from fundamental theoretical developments like soft theorems, classification of fundamental theories, and the soft bootstrap approach to phenomenological applications in Chiral Perturbation Theory, Resonance Chiral Theory, and Electroweak Theory. He has made significant contributions to the understanding of Goldstone bosons, pion physics, and string-inspired amplitude methods.
His publication record shows a strong integration of theoretical developments with experimental applications, particularly through his involvement with the NA62 experiment at CERN. Recent work demonstrates a trend toward connecting abstract theoretical concepts like celestial amplitudes and double-copy relations with concrete experimental measurements in kaon physics. His research bridges the gap between high-energy theory and precision experimental physics, with applications to rare kaon decays and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.
Kampf serves as team leader for the NA62 experiment at CERN since 2012 and has chaired the doctoral study program in Particle and Nuclear Physics since 2018. He has organized numerous conferences including the Amplitudes 2022 Summer School, Amplitudes 2022, and Prague Spring Amplitudes 2023. His teaching includes courses on Electroweak Interactions, Modern Methods for Scattering Amplitudes, and Theory of Groups and Algebras in Particle Physics.
At the Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics, Kampf leads research efforts connecting theoretical amplitude methods with experimental kaon physics through the NA62 collaboration. His group works at the intersection of theoretical developments in scattering amplitudes and their application to precision measurements at CERN, creating a unique bridge between abstract theoretical physics and experimental particle physics.
