Thomas Gehrmann, full professor of theoretical physics at the University of Zurich, has been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant: He will receive 2.5 million euros from the European Research Council to develop new methods for precision calculations in particle physics with his team and apply them to specific particle reactions.
The European Research Council awards its Advanced Grants to support well-established and outstanding scientists who have a track record of significant research achievements in the last 10 years. Funding amounts to a maximum of 2.5 million euros over five years. Over 2,678 projects from all over Europe were submitted this year, 209 of which were awarded grants. At the University of Zurich, a project in the field of theoretical physics received one of the coveted grants.
Precision predictions in elementary particle physics
In the coming years, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will multiply its data set by a factor of 20, enabling precision measurements for a large number of elementary particle reactions. To interpret these precision data and use them to determine fundamental constants of nature, the theoretical description of these measured quantities must be just as accurate. Supported by the ERC Advanced Grant “TOPUP – Theory of Particle Collider Processes at Ultimate Precision”, UZH professor Thomas Gehrmann, together with a team of four postdocs and two PhD students, will develop new analytical, algebraic and numerical methods for precision calculations in particle physics and apply them to specific particle reactions.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
