Research Interests

  • At present, he is working on the DarkSHINE experiment, a leading effort in the research and development of technologies aimed at detecting dark photons as potential mediators to light dark matter.
  • He is also actively engaged in the physics program of the Circular Electron-Positron Collider (CEPC), where his work includes simulation studies, detector performance evaluations, and investigations into new physics phenomena, particularly the electroweak phase transition.
  • In addition, Haidar plays a role in the upgrade project of the High Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) for the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, with responsibilities spanning technical validation and performance optimization. He also contributes to the operation and maintenance of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer, ensuring the stability and efficiency of its performance.
  • Alongside his experimental activities, Haidar works on theoretical particle physics, particularly the interplay between future collider experiments and gravitational wave observations. His current work examines how gravitational wave signals, produced by a strong first-order electroweak phase transition, could be correlated with collider signatures in theories beyond the Standard Model.
