From HandWiki

Sergei V. Chekanov (born 1969 in Minsk, Soviet_Union then Belarus ) is a Belarussian-American particle and experimental physicist. He is also a computational scientist who published several books on computations and data analysis [1] [2] [3]. He obtained his master degree in theoretical physics in 1992 from the Belarusian State University (Minsk, Belarus ) and entered a Ph.D. position at the Academy of Science of Belarus. His main Ph.D. topic was the theory of Quantum chromodynamics (1992-1995). Then he switched to a Ph.D. in experimental particle physics. He holds a Ph.D in experimental particle physics from the Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands (1998). As a particle physicist, he worked at DESY laboratory (Hamburg, Germany), CERN laboratory (Geneva, Switzerland) and at Argonne National Laboratory (USA).

Professional activity

In 2020, S. V. Chekanov was ranked #113 in his discipline according to the H-index, corresponding to a top 30 position among Russian-speaking physicists. [4]. His aggregate H-index is 262, and according to several metrics of the AD scientific index, his academic ranking in the United States ranges from #40 to #100 (depending on the index type) [5]. According the ORCID publication record [6], he co-authored more than 220 professional papers (most of them are published in peer-reviewed journals) and other articles, including a dozen of experimental papers from large-scale particle-colliding experiments. He contributed to physics results described in more in several thousand publications of international particle collider experiments.

Currently S.Chekanov works in the field of particle physics at Argonne National Laboratory. He was a member of the L3 experiment/ CERN, ZEUS experiment / DESY and ATLAS experiment / CERN international experiments. His preferred areas of interest in physics include QCD data analysis, physics beyond the Standard Model, the performance of future HEP experiments, and the design of software for current and future experiments.

Among major physics highlights, he was a primary author of highest-precision F2cc measurements used to understand charm structure of the proton, evidence for strange pentaquarks (not confirmed) in ep, a first observation of the strange sea at HERA, a first observation of direct (anti) deuterons in ep, a first observation and measurements of photons above the TeV (teraelectronvolt) energy and led many high-precision QCD measurements in e+e-/ep/pp collisions that establish the Standard Model. His current work is focused on searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model at the LHC.
