Archana Sharma (physicist)

Archana Sharma is a distinguished Indian physicist and senior scientist at the CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.

[1] Sharma's involvement at CERN began in 1987 when she won a three-year fellowship to conduct research in the detector development group led by Georges Charpak.

[7] After finishing her second PhD, Sharma held positions at the GSI-Darmstadt in Germany and the University of Maryland, College Park.

[8] Since 2001, she has worked at CERN on the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment, designing high-efficiency detectors to facilitate the detection of the Higgs-Boson particle.

[6] Detecting a muon can confirm the production of a Higgs boson, and the CMS is also important in studying other dimensions, background radiation, and the components of dark matter.
