Bernhard Mistlberger

I am a theoretical particle physicist in the SLAC theory group. The goal of my research is to understand the nature of interactions of fundamental particles.

With my research, I push the boundaries of the ultimate precision we can achieve in the description of scattering processes of fundamental particles of nature. My very precise predictions for scattering experiments allow me - by comparison with experimental data - to learn about the properties of the involved particles, such as the Higgs boson or the carriers of the electro-weak force. Second, by overcoming the staggering complexities associated with achieving high precision predictions, I contribute to deepening our understanding of Quantum Field Theory and explore the mathematical structure of scattering amplitudes.
