HEP

In this section, I will be going over some High Energy Physics (HEP) related topics, such as the physics and mathematics behind particle interactions, as well as the technical side of collider experiments. HEP aims to understand the most fundamental particles and forces in nature, often explored through large-scale experiments at facilities like CERN, home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

My current work mainly focuses on Higgs boson production and interactions, studied through the lens of Effective Field Theories (EFTs) such as the Higgs Effective Lagrangian (HEL). These frameworks let us parameterise potential Beyond Standard Model (BSM) effects in a model-independent way and ask how future colliders — notably the Future Circular Collider (FCC) — could probe subtle deviations in Higgs and electroweak couplings.

On the computational side, I use Monte Carlo event generators like Herwig and MadGraph to simulate proton–proton collisions. I then analyse the resulting events with Rivet and Contur, comparing simulations to real LHC measurements to validate the Standard Model and place constraints on BSM scenarios. Together, these tools connect theory → simulation → analysis, turning ideas on paper into quantitative tests against data.
