The Beauty and the Boost: A Higgs Boson Tale: Measurements of Higgs Boson Production at High Energy in Decays to Bottom Quarks and Their Interpretatio

I am an experimental particle physicist currently working at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, CERN. Originally from the city of Elzach in Germany, I studied physics at the University of Freiburg where I obtained both my bachelors and masters degree. During this time I came into contact with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) through my thesis projects which I performed in the group of Prof. Dr. Karl Jakobs. After I spend the summer of 2016 at CERN as a summer student to work on beam test studies with silicon strip modules for the planned upgrade of the ATLAS detector, I made the decision to pursue a career in experimental high energy physics. For my Ph.D. I moved to the Dutch National Institute for Particle Physics (Nikhef), where I performed the work that is summarized in the proposed book under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Wouter Verkerke and Dr. Tristan du Pree. My Ph.D. was awarded with the highest 'cum laude' distinction in the Netherlands, and mythesis won the ATLAS thesis award in 2023. So far, my research was and is performed within the ATLAS collaboration and focuses on precise measurements of the Higgs boson, as well as on the upgrade of the ATLAS silicon tracking detector towards the High-Luminosity LHC.

我是一名實驗粒子物理學家，目前在歐洲粒子物理實驗室（CERN）工作。我來自德國的埃爾查赫市，在弗賴堡大學學習物理，獲得了學士和碩士學位。在此期間，我通過在卡爾·雅各布斯教授的研究小組進行的論文項目接觸到了大型強子對撞機（LHC）上的ATLAS實驗。2016年夏天，我在CERN擔任暑期學生，參與了針對ATLAS探測器計劃升級的硅條形模組的束流測試研究，之後我決定追求實驗高能物理的職業生涯。為了攻讀博士學位，我轉到荷蘭國家粒子物理研究所（Nikhef），在沃特·維爾克教授和特里斯坦·杜·普里博士的指導下進行了本書提案中總結的工作。我的博士學位在荷蘭獲得了最高的「cum laude」榮譽，並且我的論文在2023年獲得了ATLAS論文獎。到目前為止，我的研究是在ATLAS合作中進行的，專注於希格斯玻色子的精確測量，以及ATLAS硅追蹤探測器向高亮度LHC的升級。
