Roger William Lewis Jones

Roger William Lewis Jones is a Professor and Head of the Department of Physics at Lancaster University. His career spans experimental high-energy particle physics, QCD research, and global computing infrastructure development for large-scale scientific projects like ATLAS and the Rubin Observatory.

• ATLAS experiment (LHC) for CP violation studies in B-physics
• NA62 experiment for strange quark physics
• LEGEND collaboration for neutrino research
• Leadership in GridPP and Worldwide LHC Computing Grid

Research Focus: Experimental particle physics with emphasis on CP violation, QCD dynamics, and data-intensive computing systems. His work bridges hardware development (e.g., tracking detectors) and software innovation (e.g., Grid computing farms across UK institutions).

Recent Publications highlight precision measurements in jet physics, Higgs decays, and searches for new particles like heavy neutral leptons. Articles span 2025 with collaborations on ATLAS and NA62, focusing on detector calibration, cross-section analysis, and beyond-Standard-Model signatures.

Leadership Roles:

• Chair of NorthGrid Management Board
• Former Chair of STFC Particle Physics Advisory Panel (2019-2022)
• Chair of Institute of Physics Head of Department Forum Steering Committee (2019-2024)
• Key contributor to GridPP and Worldwide LHC Computing Grid
