معرفی
Prof. Dr. Michael Klasen leads the Klasen Research Group at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Münster. His work bridges particle physics and nuclear physics, focusing on quantum chromodynamics and physics beyond the Standard Model, including dark matter and neutrino species calculations.
His research team recently achieved a breakthrough by analyzing nucleon binding at the quark-gluon level using LHC data, revealing novel insights into atomic nuclei structure. The study, published in Physical Review Letters, demonstrates how correlated nucleon pairs modify quark-gluon distributions.
Prof. Klasen has supervised multiple PhD students including Luca Wiggering, who received the Infineon Dissertation Prize 2025 for work on dark matter candidates and neutrino precision calculations. He contributes to teaching Quantum Field Theory and Standard Model seminars.
The research receives funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG) and forms part of the collaborative network including CTEQ, DM@NLO, and the Research Training Group 2149 "Strong and Weak Interaction - from Hadrons to Dark Matter", where he served as second period spokesperson.
