For those who don't know I'm a theoretical particle physicist working jointly in the High Energy physics groups of the Cavendish
and DAMTP.
Before this I was a D.Phil student in
Oxford supervised by Herbi Dreiner and
Mike Seymour.
Physics
I'm interested in a number of aspects of Particle Physics Phenomenology.
During my D.Phil. most of my work was on R-parity violating supersymmetry, its
phenomenology and Monte Carlo simulations of it.
Since moving to Cambridge I have continued to work on this. I have also
become more involved with the
Cambridge Supersymmetry Working Group studying the potential of the LHC to measure the parameters of
SUSY, if its there.
Recently I have also become involved with the LHC/LC looking at how LHC and LC measurements can be
used together to measure the parameters of the model.
I am also interested in ways of improving the simulation of Beyond the Standard
Model physics and have recently been studying spin correlation effects in
Monte Carlo simulations.
- A lot of my work has been on the HERWIG event generator.
- The current version of HERWIG is HERWIG6.4 and is available from the HERWIG
webpage.
- During my thesis I worked on the inclusion of R-parity violating processes
in HERWIG. This is described in
JHEP 0004:008,2000,
(hep-ph/9912407.)
- More recently I have been working on spin correlations. This is described
in JHEP 0111:029,2001,
(hep-ph/0110108.)
- Some talks and papers on the inclusion of R-parity violation into HERWIG can be
found here.
- Some pictures from the HERWIG++ meeting.
- The competition can be found here
I've now given a lot of talks and written quite a few papers.
These are now available here.
