Dr Chris Bouchard is a Senior Lecturer in Physics & Astronomy at the University of Glasgow's School of Physics & Astronomy. His research focuses on applying lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) to study phenomena in particle and nuclear physics, including rare meson decays, neutral meson mixing, and nucleon structure. He has contributed to precision calculations of form factors critical for testing the Standard Model and probing new physics.
Key research areas include:
- Particle Physics: Rare B-meson decays (e.g., B→Kℓℓ), neutral meson mixing, and form factors for semileptonic processes.
- Nuclear Physics: Determination of nucleon matrix elements such as the axial coupling constant (gA), with applications to dark matter searches and neutrino physics.
- Lattice QCD Techniques: Development of methods for excited-state analysis, gradient-flowed actions, and Feynman-Hellmann theorem applications.
Recent work highlights:
- 2023: Published form factors for B→K and D→K decays, enabling precise Standard Model predictions.
- 2022: Advanced lattice calculations of nucleon axial coupling to 1% precision.
Collaborations include the Fermilab Lattice and MILC Collaborations. His research has been supported by grants from the UK’s Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC).
