PhD projects

Nigel Watson works on LHCb at CERN and has interests in detector development for future experiments. He leads the local Birmingham group on the LHCb experiment at CERN, to extract new physics with rare decays at LHC, as well as working on the core simulation framework.

Prof. Watson supervises students in all of his research work, which includes LHCb physics and detector simulation, as well as high performance electromagnetic calorimetry and physics studies for future e+e- colliders (ILC and CLIC).

Details of current projects may also be available via his University staff profile and the Birmingham Particle Physics Group web pages.
