معرفی
John Butler is a Professor at Boston University's Department of Physics, specializing in experimental high-energy physics (HEP) through the ATLAS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). His research focuses on uncovering new particles and phenomena beyond the Standard Model, including gauge bosons, technihadrons, and dark matter.
Education:
- PhD in Physics, Stanford University, 1986
- BS in Physics with High Honors, University of Notre Dame, 1980
Research Interests:
Dr. Butler's work emphasizes probing the smallest distance scales via ATLAS data to discover new forces, particles, and dimensions. Key areas include triboson production, dilepton resonances, and Higgs boson studies, all aimed at expanding our understanding of fundamental physics.
Key Publications:
His research highlights include the 2012 Higgs boson observation, searches for W' bosons, and top quark discoveries. These studies collectively contribute to testing and extending the Standard Model framework.
- Awards:
- European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) Fellowship
- Department of Energy Outstanding Junior Investigator Award (1997)
- High Energy and Particle Physics Prize of the European Physical Society (2013)
