Scaling of neutrino mass.
Sploier alert for physicists at the turn of the last century: physics is not complete. Considering our canonical, Standard Model (SM) of particle physics as an effective field theory, allows for new, high-energy physics such as neutrino masses. I look at such models and how we can accuurately map them to the energy scales we interact with at collider experiments.
Flavour Symmetry Phenomenology.
The beauty of the standard model (SM) of particle physics is that it is elegantly described by simple symmetries. This motivates us to describe corrections to the SM as further symmetries. One such area of inquiry is the phenomenology resulting from symmetries of flavour - a property that distinguishes particles of the same family.
Measuring nuclear structure with combined data from regular and muonic atoms.
Calculations at the highest level of precision atomic structure are very sensitive to what we know about the structure of the nucleus (QCD is nutoriously hard!). In this work, I implement an empirical method to derive information about nuclear structure by considering data from regular atomic and muonic variants of different elements.
