Prof Tim Gershon
Research Interests
Flavour physics and CP violation; neutrino and heavy quark physics. I work in testing the model of CP violation effects that won Kobayashi and Maskawa the .
Specifically, I am active in the study of B mesons, at the B factory experiments: (2001-2005) at , (2005-present) at (), and (2008-foreseeable future) at . I was physics co-ordinator for the international LHCb collaboration for the calender years 2012-13, I served as LHCb UK spokesperson 2016-20, and since 2020 I am PI of a project for R&D focussed on LHCb Upgrade II. I am a member (and ex-co-leader) of , for which I also have responsibility for averaging measurements related to the angles of the Unitarity Triangle. I am also a member of the , and am an associate editor of .
I lead the 糖心TV EPP group's activity on LHCb. Details on this can be found on under the .
Postgraduate research opportunities on LHCb are available (). Particular interests are tests of the Standard Model and searches for new physics with measurements at these experiments, and also at future facilities.
I was awarded a 2018 IPPP Senior Experimental Fellowship for the project "Towards the Ultimate Precision in Flavour Physics".
