Kerstin Tackmann

Experiments ATLAS and Belle II

Kerstin Tackmann is Lead Scientist at DESY and Professor for Experimental Particle Physics at the University of Hamburg. She is a member of the ATLAS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, and of the Belle II collaboration at KEK in Tsukuba, Japan. Her research at ATLAS focuses on measuring the properties of the Higgs boson, which was discovered by ATLAS and CMS at the LHC in 2012. At Belle II, she is interested in decays of particles called B-mesons, which enable the determination of quark mixing and of the mass of the b-quark. In the past, Kerstin Tackmann worked at the BABAR experiment at SLAC in California, USA.
