معرفی
Matthew F Herndon is a Professor of Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, affiliated with the Department of Physics. His primary research focuses on experimental particle physics at high-energy colliders, including the CMS experiment at CERN’s LHC and the CDF experiment at Fermilab’s Tevatron. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland (1998) and a B.S. from the University of Texas at Austin (1994).
His research interests include multiboson production physics, Higgs boson searches, and studies of anomalous gauge couplings. He leads the CMS Muon System’s resource management and oversees detector upgrades for the HL-LHC. Key contributions include measurements of WW/WZ/ZZ production cross sections and searches for new physics in diboson final states.
Dr. Herndon has been recognized as a Vilas Associate (2012–2013). He teaches courses such as Physics 535 (Introduction to Particle Physics) and has mentored numerous graduate and undergraduate students. His leadership roles include coordinating CMS Standard Model physics studies and serving on departmental committees at UW-Madison.
Publications highlight precision measurements of vector boson scattering, muon system performance, and Higgs boson exclusion limits. Current projects involve HL-LHC detector upgrades and studies of ZZ polarization and vector boson scattering.
