Searching for Higgs Boson Pair Production with the ATLAS Experiment at the CERN LHC
Research Group:
Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics
It's possible that the 125 GeV Higgs boson discovered by the CERN ATLAS and CMS Experiments is only one of several neutrally-charged Higgs bosons predicted by theories beyond the Standard Model. Read more
Dark Matter Search with ADMX and the Quantum Sensors for the Hidden Sector Collaboration.
Research Group:
Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics
This Ph.D. project involves searches for hidden sector dark matter, including QCD axions and axion like particles (ALPs). Our group at Sheffield leads the 'Quantum Sensors for the Hidden Sector' collaboration, and collaborates with the Axion Dark Matter Experiment (ADMX) collaboration in the USA. Read more
Scalable cavity quantum electrodynamics
Research Group:
Inorganic Semiconductors
Single photons are ideal carriers of quantum information but typically interact weakly with each. other. To exploit the effective photon-photon interactions that lie at the heart of many quantum. Read more
Effect of hydrogen on the fatigue behaviour of defected metallic materials used in the UK’s gas pipeline network
Hydrogen (H2) has the potential to become one of the world’s most valuable green energy vectors to abandon the use of fossil fuels in the energy, transport and heating sectors, which together contribute to more than 70% of the UK CO2 emissions. Read more
