We have an exciting new result from LHCb about to be published in PRL - my colleague Mark Smith and I took a deep look at it in The Conversation. theconversation.com/our-large-ha...

Our Large Hadron Collider results hint at undiscovered physics
The behaviour of sub-atomic particles in the LHC seems to disagree with the Standard Model.

Pleased to have written an article on one of the latest exciting results from LHCb - how we have discovered new differences between matter and antimatter in the decays of baryons. theconversation.com/new-discover...
theconversation.com
New discovery at Cern could hint at why our universe is made up of matter and not antimatter
The finding could also open the door to the discovery of new particles.

Beginning of June saw members of our group travel to Sheffield for the SBND Collaboration Meeting to give talks on the progress of their work. Pictures show PhD Student Lucy Kotsiopoulou, MPhys student Luisa Velazquez-Fernandez and Post-doc Miquel Nebot-Guinot who was chairing the session.

Edinburgh #MoRunning! Ran a 10K (2 laps of Holyrood with an uphill that is not to be sniffed at) yesterday in LESS THAN IDEAL conditions ❄️🥶! No PRs, just happy to do it without slipping over, and proud of team @edinburghppe.bsky.social who raised over £800 for @MovemberUK🥸!
