Kamal Benslama is a Swiss-Moroccan Particle Physicist. He worked on the ATLAS experiment, at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland, which is considered as the largest experiment in the history of physical science.
Biography
Template:... Originally from Morocco, Kamal Benslama studied physics at Geneva University. He obtained a bachelor and a Master in High Energy Physics from Geneva University. In 1993, he started a PhD at the department of High Energy Physics at the University of Lausanne (this department is now part of the EPFL since 2003) and obtained his PhD from the same University in 1998.
In 1999, Benslama moved to North America. He worked as a post-doc on the CLEO experiment at Cornell university in the USA, then he became a research scientist at Columbia University in New York and associate scientist on the ATLAS experiment at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the [European organization for nuclear research|CERN]]. from 2006 to 2012, he was a Professor of Physics at the University of Regina in Canada. During this time, Benslama founded and led [1] · [2] · [3] · [4] · [5] · [6] · [7], [8], [9] an international research group in experimental high energy physics. He worked on the ATLAS experiment at CERN where he was a principal investigator and a team leader.
Benslama started his research activities at CERN in 1992, he first worked on ATLAS, then on NOMAD, (Neutrino Oscillation search with a MAgnetic Detector) which was designed to search for neutrino oscillation. His thesis was on the construction, installation and simulation of a preshower particle detector as well as on data analysis using data from the NOMAD experiment.
He contributed to many aspects of the ATLAS experiment. He worked on a readout system for a silicon detector for the ATLAS experiment, then he worked on the Liquid Argon Calorimeter. He also led several efforts on searches for physics beyond the standard model at the LHC[10] · [11], in particular searches for doubly charged higgs, extra-dimensions and leptoquarks.
