The questions that drive us

How can we study the behaviour of particles at very small scales?

Why is there more matter than anti-matter in the universe?

How can we discover new fundamental interactions?

How do we design, build and operate the complex detectors used at particle colliders?

And how do we process the vast amount of data produced by particle collisions?

Our Research Group aims to answer these questions using data collected by and building future components of the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment.

The LHCb experiment is one of the four big experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located near Geneva, Switzerland. The LHC collides protons at record energies. The particles created by these collisions are reconstructed by the LHCb detector to measure their properties.
