Physics for Particle Detectors and Particle Detectors for Physics: Timing Performance of Semiconductor Detectors with Internal Gain and Constraints on

Philipp Windischhofer is a particle physicist and member of the ATLAS Collaboration at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. A main focus of his work concerns the experimental investigation of the Higgs boson, the only spin-zero particle thus far observed in nature. He contributes to this program through the analysis of collider data and the development of new data analysis techniques. He is also heavily involved in the study and development of particle detectors. Together with his collaborators, he derives first-principles descriptions of the mechanisms underlying these instruments, thereby pinning down their ultimate performance limits and leading the way towards novel applications of existing technologies. Currently, Philipp is developing a fast numerical code for the simulation of radio-wave emissions from ultra-high energy particles reaching Earth from outer space. He completed his doctoral research at the University of Oxford in 2022, and is now working as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Chicago (USA).

Philipp Windischhofer 是一位粒子物理學家，並且是位於瑞士日內瓦的歐洲核子研究組織 (CERN) ATLAS 合作組的成員。他的工作主要集中在對希格斯玻色子的實驗研究上，這是迄今為止在自然界中觀察到的唯一自旋為零的粒子。他通過對對撞機數據的分析和新數據分析技術的開發來貢獻於這一計畫。他也積極參與粒子探測器的研究和開發。與他的合作者一起，他從基本原理出發，描述這些儀器背後的機制，從而確定它們的最終性能極限，並引領現有技術的新應用。目前，Philipp 正在開發一個快速數值代碼，用於模擬來自外太空的超高能粒子在抵達地球時所產生的無線電波輻射。他於 2022 年在牛津大學完成博士研究，現在在美國芝加哥大學擔任博士後研究員。
