Research Interests:
Kerstin Tackmann's work focuses on Higgs boson properties, particularly its decays into two photons and four leptons. She also investigates B-meson decays for quark mixing analysis and top quark physics. Her technical contributions include photon and electron reconstruction, detector calibration, and data simulation improvements. Current projects analyze new physics beyond Standard Model through differential cross-sections and Yukawa coupling constraints.
Scientific Trends:
Recent publications show emphasis on top quark mass measurements, slepton/sneutrino searches, W-boson production, and D-meson yields. Methodologies involve ATLAS detector performance, missing transverse momentum reconstruction, and high-precision Higgs studies.
Awards:
Kerstin Tackmann received the
- ERC Starting Grant (2016-2021)
- Helmholtz Young Investigator Group Funding (2011-2016)
Labs & Teams:
She leads the ATLAS group at DESY and collaborates with the Belle II team at KEK. Her work integrates with CERN's LHC experiments and DESY's particle physics division.
