Abstract: 

Precise measurements of the lepton properties provide stringent tests of the Electroweak Theory. The large mass of the tau makes also possible to perform accurate QCD studies and search for violations of lepton flavour in many kinematically-allowed decay modes. The large statistical sample of tau pairs to be collected at the STCF  will provide an excellent laboratory for precision measurements of the tau properties. A few important topics in tau physics where relevant contributions could be made will be discussed.

 

About the speaker:

PhD degree in Physics (University of Valencia, 1983). He has worked as a researcher at the Max Planck-Institut für Physik in Munich (Germany, 1984-1986) and at the European Laboratory for Elementary Particle Physics (CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, 1987-1993). In 1994 he joined the Institute of Corpuscular Physics (IFIC) of Valencia, first as CSIC researcher and later (1998) as Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of V alencia.

His research activity focuses on the study of the elementary constituents of matter and the forces that govern its structure at the most basic level. Expert in quantum field theories and their applications to elementary particle physics, his scientific contributions have allowed to perform very relevant tests of the “Standard Theory of the Fundamental Interactions” and precise determinations of its parameters. He has an extensive list of publications in the most prestigious international journals of particle physics and has directed and collaborated in multiple research projects both in Spain and abroad. In 2010 he was awarded the “Humboldt Research Award” of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (Germany).

He has been director of the Institute of Corpuscular Physics of Valencia (IFIC, 1999- 2003), CSIC Representative in the Valencian Community (2003-2009), coordinator of the European network FLAVIAnet on quark physics (2006-2010) and director of the “National Center for Particle, Astroparticle and Nuclear Physics” [CPAN, http://www.i-cpan.es/, 2007-2022] that integrates the Spanish research groups in these areas of knowledge. He is also editor of the International Journal on High Energy Physics (since 1997), member of the Particle Data Group (Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory) and scientific advisor to various laboratories and international institutions.

He has recently published a popular book on “The secrets of the Higgs boson” (Catarata publishing house).
