Current members
Andy Buckley (Team Leader)
Andy Buckley is a professor at the University of Glasgow, and an author of the Rivet and Professor toolkits for MC analysis and tuning; the Contur, TACO, GAMBIT and TopFitter BSM data-reinterpretation projects; and the LHAPDF, HepMC, and various other small tools and utility libraries. His research interests are in experimental measurement and MC modelling of QCD dynamics, in particular heavy flavour and soft/collective QCD phenomena, and computational methods for designing and combining BSM-sensitive measurements. Andy is a member of the ATLAS experimental collaboration.
Martin Habedank
Martin is a postdoctoral researcher working on ATLAS, Rivet, Contur, and the OpenMAPP e-infrastructure project. He serves as the analysis preservation coordinator for the ATLAS search groups, and as a coordinator of the Reinterpretation subgroup of the LHC BSM Working Group.
David Sutherland
Dave is a particle theorist and a co-convener of the LHC Effective Field Theory working group. His work includes studies of geometric redefinitions of quantum fields that may hold potential for drastically more efficient MC phase-space sampling of quantum field theories.
Barry (Xinyuan) Tan
Barry is a PhD student, working on the ATLAS and EpIC experiments. His technical work focuses on commissioning and improving Sherpa modelling of top-quark physics, and on measurements sensitive to colour reconnection effects in electroweak processes.
Anna Casali
Anna is a PhD student, working on the ATLAS experiment. Her technical work focuses on hadron-level reweighting methods, exploring the boundaries of reweightable effects in Pythia and creating a new decay-variation weighting mechanism for the EvtGen hadron-decay tool. Anna’s analysis work focuses on measurements of b-jet structure using optimal transport.
Benjamin Fuks (Sorbonne Université and LPTHE)
Benjamin is a professor of theoretical particle physics at Sorbonne University in Paris, with wide interests across collider physics. His MCnet association to Glasgow relates to reinterpretation and MC validation as an author of MadGraph_aMC@NLO and MadAnalysis.
