Matthew Fewell

Matthew Fewell is a PhD student at the University of Adelaide, researching rare events in proton-proton collisions using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

The current focus is on hadronic processes involving a b quark at 13 TeV centre-of-mass energy. Although not directly related to the detection of dark matter, this work aims at sensitive tests of the Standard Model of particle physics; any potential deviations from the Standard Model that may be revealed would need to be reconciled with models containing dark-matter candidates.
