Research

As a particle physicist, Markus Klute is dedicated to advancing our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe and uncovering new physics beyond the Standard Model, through cutting-edge experimental research, innovative detector development, and applying modern machine learning techniques to particle physics data analysis.

Compact Muon Solenoid

The CMS detector is a multi-purpose particle detector at CERN's LHC, aiming to study the properties of subatomic particles, including the Higgs boson, to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model, and to improve our understanding of the fundamental forces and structure of the universe.

Machine Learning

Machine learning in high energy physics is used to analyze vast amounts of data from particle collisions to discover new physics, improve the accuracy of simulations, and optimize the performance of particle detectors, leading to groundbreaking discoveries in the field.

Computing in HEP

High energy physics relies on advanced computing techniques to process and analyze vast amounts of data from particle collisions, simulate complex physical processes, and enable international collaboration through distributed computing networks and by using heterogeneous infrastructure.

Detector Physics

Detector R&D aims to develop cutting-edge technology for particle detectors, such as high-precision tracking systems and highly-granular calorimeters, to improve the accuracy of particle measurements, expand the discovery potential for new physics, and enable future generations of experiments.

DeLight

DELight: a Direct search Experiment for Light dark matter with superfluid helium aims to detect light dark matter particles using a novel detection technique. It is being designed to reach sensitivity to masses well below 100 MeV in Dark Matter-nucleus scattering interactions.

Future Circular Collider

The Future Circular Collider (FCC) is an ambitious particle accelerator project that promises to unlock new discoveries and insights into the fundamental nature of our universe. While the project is still in its early stages, its potential benefits are exciting to contemplate.

LUXE

The LUXE_NPOD (LUXE - New Particle On-Demand) experiment at DESY aims to search for dark matter particles produced by a high-energy laser beam interacting with a fixed target, using advanced detectors to detect the scattered particles and uncover new physics beyond the Standard Model.

SHADOWS

SHADOWS (Search for Hidden And Dark Objects With the SPS) is a proposed new new beam-dump experiment at CERN. to search for a large variety of feebly-interacting particles possibly produced in the interactions of a 400~GeV proton beam with a high-Z material dump.
