High-Precision W-Boson Studies with Lhcb: Measurements of the W Boson's Mass and Lepton Flavour Universality, and Trigger Development for the Lhcb Upg

這本書詳細介紹了對粒子物理標準模型（SM）的後繼者的尋找，這是該領域中最大的現代努力。希望能夠觀察到與SM預測不符的差異，本書討論了兩個前所未見的實驗精確度前沿測量：W玻色子質量的測量和W玻色子的輕子味道普遍性（LFU）基本公理的測試。這兩個測量是通過分析CERN的大型強子對撞機（LHC）上LHCb實驗的碰撞數據進行的，並代表了在LHCb上建立一個新的高精度標準模型測試領域的成果。本書還描述了為優化LHCb觸發系統而開發的新軟件工具的發展，這有助於確保LHCb的精彩物理計劃能夠持續發展。本書適合具有研究生或碩士級別實驗粒子物理學培訓的讀者閱讀。

Ross Hunter was 16 when the Higgs boson was discovered in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Switzerland. This momentous event inspired him to further study physics and to undertake an extra-curricular project reviewing the discoveries made over the years at particle colliders. At this point, he knew he wanted to become a researcher in physics. He completed a B.A. M. Sci. in Natural Sciences (specializing in physics) at Fitzwilliam College, University of Cambridge, but his future career was particularly shaped by his internships during the intervening summers. After his second year, he spent the summer in the particle physics department at the University of Sheffield prototyping detector technology for trying to find dark matter. The following summer he did similar work as part of an exchange programme between the University of Cambridge and the University of Göttingen.

羅斯·亨特在2012年瑞士CERN的大型強子對撞機（LHC）發現希格斯玻色子時年僅16歲。這一重大事件激發了他對物理學的進一步研究，並開展了一個課外項目，回顧了多年來在粒子對撞機上的發現。從那時起，他知道自己想成為一名物理學研究員。他在劍橋大學費茲威廉學院完成了自然科學（物理學專業）的學士和碩士學位，但他未來的職業生涯特別受到他在暑假期間實習的影響。在他的第二年之後，他在謝菲爾德大學的粒子物理學系度過了一個夏天，為尋找暗物質而原型化探測器技術。接下來的夏天，他在劍橋大學和哥廷根大學的交換計劃中進行了類似的工作。
