This week I had a new result out, a bit of an unusual one. This is not strictly speaking a paper, just a set of plots (you can find the complete set here https://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PUBNOTES/ATL-PHYS-PUB-2025-002/)summarising the state of “Hidden Sector” neutral long-lived particle searches. What’s really cool about them is that, for the first time forContinue reading “Bridging the 8.6km gap between ATLAS and CMS with long-lived particles”

Open Data/Software in Particle Physics
Image: D. Montage (via Wikipedia) Lyon is perhaps best known for as one of France’s great gastronomical hubs, with the Burgundy wine regions to the north and the fruit basket of the Provence to the south, all linked by the mighty Rhône river. But Lyon is also the home of a major computing hub: theContinue reading “Open Data/Software in Particle Physics”
Pushing into the Unknown
Image: me speaking at the opening session of the ATLAS Exotics Workshop in the San Domenico center in Bologna, October 2024. Photo credit: Bruna Pascual. At the end of October, I attended the ATLAS Exotics “workshop” in the beautiful city of Bologna in Italy. The word “workshop” may lead you to imagine me in aContinue reading “Pushing into the Unknown”
Starting as ATLAS Exotics Convener
Image: an overview of some constraints on (some!) of the models featuring new particles which are searched for in ATLAS. Today I started my new role in ATLAS as the convener of the Exotic physics working group. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, this is a role which means that, along with my co-convener DrContinue reading “Starting as ATLAS Exotics Convener”
Long lived particles and their friends: a new step in the search programme
An ATLAS paper I’ve been working on for about 2-3 years hit the arXiv today: https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.09168Just in time for the big ICHEP conference (the biggest conference in particle physics) which takes place in Prague from Wednesday this week! It is a follow-up to my previous search for pairs of exotic long-lived particles (see Searching forContinue reading “Long lived particles and their friends: a new step in the search programme”
A measurement five years in the making
Towards the middle of my first post-doc, back in 2019, my then boss Jon asked me if I would join an exciting and ambitious measurement project which just needed a little extra push to be finished. The UCL PhD student working on it was graduating, and it seemed just a small injection of person powerContinue reading “A measurement five years in the making”
