Welcome to the Particle Physics Experiment (PPE) research group
|
We seek an understanding of the fundamental particles of nature and the interactions (forces) governing their behaviour. In particular, from understanding the symmetries and conserved quantities present in the universe, we seek to explain the dominance of matter over anti-matter (study of CP violation at BaBar/LHCb), and mechanisms of symmetry breaking (ATLAS/ILC) which lead to the creation of mass. Extensive distributed Grid computing (GridPP) will be used to store and analyse the tens of petabytes of data that will be produced at the LHC. The group comprises of six academic faculty (Phil Clark, Peter Clarke, Victoria Martin, Christos Leonidopoulos, Franz Muheim (group leader) and Steve Playfer), an Honorary Fellow (Alan Walker), two advanced fellows, six postdoctoral research associates and fourteen postgraduate students, plus technical, computing and admin support staff. |
