Dr. Andreas Hinzmann

Research interest
My main interest is in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics at high-energy particle colliders. The focus of my current research group is on signatures of new physics with highly boosted W,Z and Higgs bosons detected by the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Furthermore, I am interested in the development of jet reconstruction techniques, focusing on highly boosted W, Z and Higgs bosons, and the optimization of the relevant components of future detectors.
