My research interest

Dr. Sergei Chekanov is an ANL scientist working in the field of high-energy particle physics. 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).

He contributed to experiments with >1200 publications. He is the primary author of  over a hundred professional articles and three books.  The list of publications can be found in orcid:0000-0001-7314-7247.

In the past Dr. 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. Chekanov's preferred physics areas of interest include (but are not limited to) : QCD data analysis, physics beyond the Standard Model, physics performance of future HEP experiments, and design of software for current and future experiments.

He was responsible for the operation of the ZEUS Barrel Presampler of ZEUS calorimeter and Calorimeter First Level Trigger Processor (CFLTP)

He was also a coordinator of the QCD Group of the ZEUS Collaboration. Look at the public results of the QCD Group. He was working on development of scientific software and methods to be used by the QCD group. He was responsible for organization of QCD meetings as well as for final scientific publications of the group.

Preferred physics areas of Dr. Chekanov's interest include (but are not limited to) the following: QCD analysis, jets in DIS, heavy flavor (charm in DIS), strange particle production, pentaquarks, prompt photons in photoproduction, particle correlations and fluctuations, multiplicity moments, multiplicity properties of the current/target regions in the Breit frame of DIS, charm production in DIS, intermittency phenomenon (both theoretical and experimental study), Bose-Einstein correlations/interference (one- two- three- dimensional study in Longitudinal Center-of-Mass System, with different backgrounds, Bose-Einstein correlations of hadrons from different W at LEP2 energies), multiparticle production models (QCD based, phenomenological analytical and Monte-Carlo models), studies of top quarks at the NLC.

He was working on the following experiments:

  • L3 Collaboration at the CERN laboratory (Ph.D. research)

  • HERA experiment ZEUS Collaboration : my pos-doc research and present involvement as a coordinator of the QCD group

  • ILC experiment. Presently I'm working on the top production in e+e- collisions. See details here.

    In addition, he was interested in data-mining technologies and software associated with statistical and physics analysis of large data sets. Visit the page with my software programs.
