Omschrijving
This book details a new and ground-breaking contribution to the search for a successor to the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics - the largest modern endeavour in the field.
Ross Hunter was 16 when the Higgs boson was discovered in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Switzerland. This momentous event inspired him to further study physics and to undertake an extra-curricular project reviewing the discoveries made over the years at particle colliders. At this point, he knew he wanted to become a researcher in physics. He completed a B.A. M. Sci. in Natural Sciences (specializing in physics) at Fitzwilliam College, University of Cambridge, but his future career was particularly shaped by his internships during the intervening summers. After his second year, he spent the summer in the particle physics department at the University of Sheffield prototyping detector technology for trying to find dark matter. The following summer he did similar work as part of an exchange programme between the University of Cambridge and the University of Göttingen.
