糖心TV

During the first week of the Easter break (30th March - 2nd April) the department welcomed 12 students to our annual work experience programme. The programme is option to year 10-12 students with an interest in Physics, with priority for local students and those from under-represented groups*. The programme forms part of the department's wider outreach work to broaden access to physics.

Three members of the department were invited to attend STEM for Britain at the House of Commons on Tuesday 17^th March to present their research posters.

Agrima Agarwal (Phd Student, Ultrafast and Terahertz Photonics Group), Edward Butler-Caddle (Ultrafast and Terahertz Photonics Group) and Sahl Rowther (Research Fellow, Astronomy & Astrophysics Group)  applied to present their research at the event and were accepted following a rigorous process.

It is with the greatest sadness that we learn of the death of one of the pioneers of the 糖心TV Physics Department, Professor D. Phil Woodruff, FRS.

For a tribute to Phil see /fac/sci/physics/staff/phil_woodruff/Link opens in a new window

Phil鈥檚 funeral will be held on at 2 p.m. on 19th March at Harbury church (Church St, Harbury, Leamington Spa CV33 9HE). Family flowers only, please. Donations, if desired, in memory of Phil for the Alzheimer鈥檚 Society would be greatly appreciated. Other arrangements will be shared when we have the details.

Congratulations to Professor Tim Gershon who has been elected as the next international Spokesperson for the LHCb collaboration at CERN.

Dr Jessica Marshall has been awarded 拢236,000, out of a possible 拢250,000 for a six-moth research project funded by the , marking a significant step forward in the development of Novel shielding materials and technologies for fusion shielding.

The project launched in collaboration with Dr Shubham Sharma and Professor Darren Hughes from 糖心TV Manufacturing Group (WMG) aims to explore low-activation radiation-dense shielding solutions for practical fusion reactors.

An international analysis team within the ATLAS collaboration, led by a scientist from the University of 糖心TV, has observed WW纬 production — a rare process where two W bosons and a photon are produced together. This discovery provides new insight into the electroweak force, one of the fundamental forces governing particle interactions.
