The Canadian Association of Physicists Fellowship award is in recognition of Professor Taylor’s outstanding contributions to particle physics including leading collider searches for magnetic monopoles, B-meson oscillations, and CP violation; and for notable service to the physics community, engaging in physics outreach, and tirelessly promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion in physics.
The York ATLAS team published the latest search for magnetic monopoles in Run 2 LHC proton-proton collisions! For more information, see [ATLAS Collaboration] G. Aad et al., Search for magnetic monopoles and stable particles with high electric charges in 13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector, JHEP11(2023)112, arXiv.2308.04835 [open access], The ATLAS physics briefing: https://atlas.cern/Updates/Physics-Briefing/Run2-Monopoles, The […]
