Prof. Issever erforscht die Ursprünge der Masse durch die Entdeckung und Analyse des di-Higgs-Prozesses und untersucht die Selbstkopplung des Higgs-Bosons — ein Kernproblem der Teilchenphysik. Ihre aktuelle Arbeit zielt darauf ab, fundamentale Fragen zur Struktur des Universums zu beantworten und die Grenzen des Standardmodells zu testen. Die Ergebnisse sind relevant für Grundlagenforschung in der Hochenergiephysik und könnten langfristig unser Verständnis von Materie und Energie transformieren.

  A bstract This paper presents two searches for the electroweak production of higgsinos with compressed mass spectra using 140 fb − 1 of $$ \sqrt{s}=13 $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msqrt> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> </mml:msqrt> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mn>13</mml:mn> </mml:math> TeV proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Events are required to feature an energetic jet, large missing transverse momentum, and at least one low-momentum charged particle that serves as a candidate higgsino decay product. In the first search, targeting higgsino mass splittings in the range of 0.3–1 GeV, the higgsinos are expected to predominantly decay into pions that are identified as low-momentum charged particles with large transverse impact parameters due to the long higgsino lifetime ( cτ ≈ 𝒪(0 . 1–10 mm)), and neural networks are used to discriminate between signal and background processes. The second search targets larger mass splittings in the range of 1–3 GeV, where the higgsinos are expected to decay promptly into low-momentum leptons, one of which is identified by dedicated low-momentum electron or muon taggers based on neural networks utilising tracking and calorimeter information. No significant excess above the Standard Model prediction is observed in either search and the results are interpreted within simplified models, to set lower limits on the masses of the higgsino-like charginos and neutralinos. Together, these searches exclude chargino masses below 126 GeV at 95% confidence level for mass splittings between the chargino and lightest neutralino in the range of 0.3–2 GeV. This represents the first ATLAS constraints in a portion of this parameter space and surpasses the limits previously set by other experiments.
