I am presently working on the high energy physics experiment, CDF, based at the world's highest energy colliding beam machine (until the LHC turns on !) - the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in Chicago, USA. My personal research area is in the precision measurements of the properties of the W boson particularly its mass and width and using these measurements to place constraints on the mass of the elusive Higgs boson. .
Recently I've begun an involvement in the Japanese COMET experiment which is seeking to be the first experiment to observe a lepton-flavour violating transition of a muon into an electron. Such an observation would be certain to signal new physics beyond our present understanding of fundamental particles as embodied in the Standard Model . I am also part of the team seeking to build a level-1 track trigger, to select the rarest particle interactions, for the ATLAS experiment for the super-LHC which is expected to supercede the LHC in 2018.
