Broadly speaking, my recent research falls into the following
categories:
- Improve quantitative prediction for selected strong interaction (known as QCD) processes,
espescially in very high energies. In these regions, large terms can appear in a perturbative calculation, so large so that the calculation becomes unreliable. We need to 'resum' these contributions, ie to calculate these large terms to all orders in perturbation theory to (hopefully) obtain meaningful results. Example processes that I am interested in include:
- semi-inclusive e+e- annihilation;
- deep inelastic scattering (eletron (anti) proton collision).
- Beyond the Standard Model phenomenology,
particularly at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Some of the
topics that I have worked/am working on include:
- Design strategies to look for beyond Standard Model signatures;
- Mass measurement techniques, for instance when a pair of
electrically neutral particles is produced;
- Neutrino mass models in supersymmetry without R-parity;
- Methods to distinguish neutrinoless double beta decay mechanisms
in (LHC and lepton) colliders.
- Double parton scattering,
which is a class of phenomena that arises due to the composite
nature of hadrons. At the LHC, double parton scattering with leptonic
final states will become accessible for the first time.
