Professor Stefano Moretti PhD, FilDrHC

Professor

Research interests

His research interests include: Standard Model (QCD and EW Interactions), Supersymmetry, Non-minimal Higgs Models, Higher Order Corrections and Monte Carlo Event Generators.
Prof Moretti’s scientific activity is in particle phenomenology, particularly in the area of collider physics. His contribution to particle physics is substantial as seen from more than 500 scientific papers/articles that he has published. (Please ignore the metrics provided by PlumX or else on these pages as they are completely wrong for my field of specialisation, always refer to iNSPIRE ones.)
Prof Moretti is also author of two textbooks, S. Khalil and S. Moretti, `Supersymmetry Beyond Minimality: from Theory to Experiment' and 'SM Phenomenology', both with CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group.

Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups

Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics

We focus on mathematical modelling and mathematical physics, and investigate everything from neutron stars to superfluids.

Southampton High Energy Physics (SHEP) group

We explore the underlying theories of particle physics from collider phenomenology to string theory and from lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) to beyond the Standard Model physics and cosmology.
