Sergei Chekanov

Physicist

Dr. Sergei V. Chekanov is a scientist working in the field of high-energy particle physics at the Large Hadron Collider, the largest experiment in the world.

Biography

Dr. Sergei V. Chekanov is a scientist at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) specializing in high-energy particle physics (HEP). His current experiment is ATLAS  at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.  In the past he was a member of the ZEUS experiment  experiment at DESY (1998-2009) and the L3 experiment  at LEP at CERN (1995-1998).

According to science impact and citations, Dr. S. V. Chekanov has the H-index of 258 in Natural Sciences/Physics. He has authored over 200 professional articles on physics and contributed to more than a thousand articles from multinational particle accelerator collaborations at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) and DESY (the German Electron Synchrotron). He is also the author of several books on programming, science, and philosophy. His contributions include Standard Model measurements, and he led a team that measured photons (light quanta) at the highest energies ever produced in particle accelerators. Recently, he has been coordinating the search for new particles beyond the Standard Model at the LHC using artificial intelligence and deep neural networks.

In the past Dr. S.Chekanov had various responsibilities, such as a convener of the QCD Group (ZEUS/HERA, 2001-2008), HEP computing group leader (2008-2014), responsible for operation of calorimeters (ZEUS barrel preshowers, ATLAS TileCal), computer/analysis support for the ATLAS analysis support center at U.S. midwest institutes,  jet physics, ATLAS event display coordinator, jet software validation and other. Dr. S. Chekanov’s preferred physics areas of interest include  QCD data analysis, physics beyond the Standard Model, physics performance of future HEP experiments, and design of software for current and future experiments.
