Else Lytken is a Professor and Head of the Department of Physics at Lund University, part of the Faculty of Science. She is also a Senior Lecturer and Project Manager for the Particle and Nuclear Physics group. Her research focuses on testing the Standard Model and searching for new physics beyond it using leptons, particularly through collaborations with the ATLAS experiment at CERN and the upcoming νESS experiment at ESS (European Spallation Source). Her work includes high-energy physics studies at the LHC (e.g., Higgs boson properties, top quark physics, dark matter searches) and high-intensity experiments exploring neutrino properties and coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. She has contributed to over 1,175 publications, with recent work emphasizing precision measurements in pp collisions and advanced analysis techniques for ATLAS data. Notable projects include: ATLAS Run-2 results on Higgs boson decays, top quark production, and dark matter mediator searches Planning for νESS to study neutrino-nucleus interactions Development of jet substructure algorithms and detector calibration methods Her research combines experimental particle physics with cutting-edge computational tools, contributing to both LHC physics and future neutrino experiments.
