Hassane Hamdaoui

I am a Researcher in the Department of Physics at Uppsala University. My research focuses on the ATLAS experiment at CERN, which records and analyzes the results of collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle accelerator in the world.

The LHC enables us to explore unprecedented energy scales where entirely new physical phenomena may emerge, such as dark matter, extra spatial dimensions, or signatures of Supersymmetry. One of its major achievements to date has been the discovery of the Higgs boson, the particle responsible for generating the masses of fundamental particles.

My scientific work concentrates on searches for Vector-Like Quarks (VLQs), hypothetical heavy particles predicted by several theories beyond the Standard Model. The discovery of such particles would provide compelling evidence for new physics.

In addition to physics analysis, I am actively involved in ATLAS detector operations. I regularly take shifts in the ATLAS Control Room of the experiment during LHC operation.

I also develop and maintain the internal TOAST web application, used by the ATLAS Trigger group to manage and document stable-beam runs.
