T. Patzak

Professor T. Patzak is a Full Professor at Paris Diderot University, where he has been employed since January 2000. He is affiliated with the AstroParticule et Cosmologie (APC) research unit (UMR 7164) in Paris, France, which focuses on astroparticle physics, cosmology, and related fields.

Research Interests

Professor Patzak specializes in neutrino physics, astroparticle physics, and cosmic ray detection. His research encompasses:

• Long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments
• Detection of ultra-high energy cosmic rays
• Development of advanced particle detectors
• Neutrino beam facilities and instrumentation

Publication Trends

Professor Patzak's recent publications (2014-2016) demonstrate a strong focus on next-generation neutrino experiments and space-based cosmic ray observatories. His work on the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) and Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) represents a major contribution to the future of neutrino physics. Simultaneously, his involvement in the JEM-EUSO mission and its pathfinders (TUS, EUSO-Balloon) shows his commitment to advancing cosmic ray detection from space. These publications span theoretical frameworks, detector design, and physics performance studies.
