Forest Conversion Experiment Pijnven-Bosland. Setting-up a large-scaled tree-diversity experiment, part of the international FORBIO forest ecosystem research project Ghent University
This project aims at establishing a large-scaled experiment that will allow to quantify the effect of tree species diversity on forest ecosystem functioning. The experiment will be established on a 8 ha site situated in Hechtel-Eksel, in the state forest Pijnven. In total 25 000 trees of five different species will be planted.
Statistical Network-based Inference for Proteomics Experiment Reasoning. KU Leuven
Experimental proteomics is a promising and growing domain, as state-of-the-art equipment allows for accurate, fast and environment-friendly research and diagnostics. However, current high performance experimental equipment is often complex, making setting up experiments and interpreting the results non-trivial.
Currently available models often are inaccurate, consider a single experimental step in isolation, and don't adapt to the ...
Differential cross section measurement of top quark-pair production in association with a Z boson in proton-proton collisions at 13.6 TeV with the CMS experiment during LHC Run 3 operation. Ghent University
the standard model (SM) is a theoretical model of elementary particles and their fundamental interactions which aims to grasp the phenomena of nature at a fundamental level . However the SM is known to be incomplete as it fails to provide an explanation to several observed phenomena in particle physics. The SM is generally considered to be an effective field theory (EFT), a low‐energy approximation of a more fundamental beyond standard model ...
Measurement of Higgs boson decays to charm quark antiquark pairs in association with top quark antiquark pair production at the CMS experiment. Ghent University
The discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012 completed the standard model (SM) of particle physics. With the addition of the Higgs boson the SM becomes one of the most successful theories to date, as such its predictions agree with the experimental data at the energy scales probed so far remarkably well. On the other hand there exist several observed phenomena in nature, such as dark matter, matter antimatter ...

Precision measurements of the top quark and photon interaction with the CMS experiment. Ghent University
This project will test standard model prediction by performing precision measurements on top quark pair production (ttbar) with associated photon emission (ttg) using the upcoming CMS data recorded during the third LHC run. The aim is to measure the inclusive and differential cross-sections of ttg, their ratios relative to ttbar cross-sections, and the charge asymmetry in ttg.
Deciphering interactions between the top quark and the Higgs boson with the CMS experiment Ghent University
The standard model (SM) of particle physics provides a highly successful description of elementary particles and their interactions. It is nevertheless known to be incomplete but no experimental signs of new physics beyond the SM (BSM) have been found so far. Instead, precision measurements of SM properties become crucial in the search for new physics since small deviations found from SM predictions could hint at BSM physics at a larger ...
