High Energy Physics Phenomenology

Research Interest: 

I work `at the edge' of the Standard Model in two respects. First, although the basics of the Standard Model are well defined, many of its implications are still unknown. Therefore, I often choose theoretical problems which are a challenge to carry out (e.g. working to a higher order in chiral perturbation theory). Second, I consider how effects of New Physics would affect various observables. In this area, the best place to look is often where Standard Model signals are small, and estimating these accurately can be a challenge unto itself.

Problems now under consideration include a calculation of higher order terms in the OPE for $D^0$-${\bar D}^0$ mixing (with Alexey Petrov) and a comprehensive study of New Physics effects in $D^0$-${\bar D}^0$ mixing (with JoAnne Hewett, Sandip Pakvasa and Alexey Petrov). Work is also underway involving certain phenomenological issues relevant to physics at the LHC.
