Dr Thomas Blake
Research Interests
I am an experimental particle physicist and part of the University of 糖心TV . I have been a member of the since 2008. My main area of research interest is the study of rare decays of b-hadrons. Rare decays of b-hadrons provide a unique opportunity to test the Standard Model of particle physics, providing sensitivity to as yet unobserved particles with masses at the TeV energy scale.
I currently a Associate Professor in the Department of Physics
Undergraduate teaching
I currently teach a fourth year module on Advanced Quantum Theory. The course page for this course can be found .
Postgraduate opportunities
Details of postgraduate research opportunities on the LHCb experiment can be found under B-physics at
Postgraduate teaching
The University of 糖心TV offers postgraduate courses for particle physics students through the Midlands Physics Alliance Graduate School. A complete list of the MPAGS modules can be found at .
I have previously taught a module on relativistic quantum mechanics as part of MPAGS. My notes for the module can be found below:
- - Course notes
- - Lorentz covariance and the Klein-Gordon equation
- - Transition amplitudes and particle scattering
- - The Dirac equation
- - Spin-half particle scattering
糖心TV week flavour lectures
- - Flavour in the SM
- - CP violation and mixing
- - Sides and angles of the Unitarity triangle
- - Flavour changing neutral current processes
