Selected Publications:
Will is an author of 720 publications submitted to peer-reviewed journals (as of 09/02/2024), of which 715 are authored as a member of the LHCb collaboration. The list below only includes publications where Will played a major role, for example as a proponent within the collaboration, or through his work as convener of the appropriate LHCb working group. A full list of Will’s publications is available at INSPIRE-HEP.
Authors on LHCb papers are listed alphabetically, so such papers here are listed as by the ‘LHCb collaboration’.
