Project title: Development of an Advanced Electrostatic Radon Detector for Rare-Event Physics
Project briefs for the Brian Duff Studentship
Summery: The LHC is producing a library of energy-frontier measurements which test how well the Standard Model (SM) works above the electroweak-symmetry-breaking energy scale, and also have implications for physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). This project will use the Contur toolkit to compare data to SM and BSM predictions to push the limits of our knowledge at the energy frontier. See https://hepcedar.gitlab.io/contur-webpage for more information about Contur. The details and specific as to what models we would study will be discussed nearer the time. Contur is a python package running via the Linux/Unix shell.
