Biography
My full publication list can be found in Inspire. My h-index as taken from there is 155. My most important publications are given below
- LHCb collaboration, Determination of the quark coupling strength |V ub | using baryonic decays, Nature Phys. 11 (2015) 743, arXiv:1504.01568. 97 citations. This paper arose from discussions with theorists in 2012. By developing new techniques for reconstruction of semileptonic decays and working in close collaboration with the leader of the associated Lattice QCD calculation a world leading measurement of |Vub| was made with completely different systematic effects compared to the existing ones.
- U. Egede, T. Hurth, J. Matias, M. Ramon, and W. Reece, On the new physics reach of the decay mode B0 → K∗0μ+μ- , JHEP 11 (2008) 032, arXiv:0807.2589 220 citations. In collaboration with theorists from CERN and Barcelona, I led an effort on new methods for extracting Wilson Coefficients in the B0 → K∗0μ+μ- decay. The paper was important to this area as it for the first time made a systematic evaluation of how to combine theoretical and experimental information in the most optimal way to further the understanding of how contributions to physics beyond the Standard Model might affect the decay.
- T. Blake, U. Egede, P. Owen, K. Petridis, G. Pomery. An empirical model to determine the hadronic resonance contributions to B0 → K∗0μ+μ- transitions, EPJC 78 (2018) 6, 453, arXiv:1709.03921. In this paper we developed an experimental method for determining the non-factorisable effects that has limited the ability of using Penguin decays in the search for New Physics.
- LHCb collaboration. Comprehensive analysis of local and nonlocal amplitudes in the B0→ K*0μ+μ− decay. JHEP 09 (2024) 026, arXiv:2405.17347. Here we implemented the model that was developed in 3. using LHCb data from 2011 to 2018. This is arguably one of the most complex analyses ever carried out in flavour physics. The conclusion is that while non-factorisable effects can explain some of the difference between Standard Model expectations and the experiments, it can't explain everything. There is thus still hope for that New Physics will be revealed in thse type of decays and the methdology is now developed to clarify it.
