William Barter

William Barter is a Fellow at The University of Edinburgh, affiliated with the School of Physics and Astronomy. He is a particle physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), focusing on understanding fundamental aspects of the universe. Barter is a member of the LHCb collaboration, which operates the LHCb detector, one of four main experiments at the LHC. His research involves studying the weak force, the structure of the proton, and matter-antimatter differences. He is currently launching a new research program examining rare decays of B-hadrons involving tau-leptons, aiming to uncover potential influences of undiscovered fundamental particles.

William Barter is a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, specializing in Particle Physics, High Energy Physics, and Experimental Particle Physics. His research focuses on analyzing decay processes to explore fundamental interactions and test lepton universality. He has contributed to studies involving resonances, pentaquark states, and angular analyses of decays such as B s 0→ ϕμ+ μ− and B 0→ K* 0 ℓ+ ℓ−. His work includes measurements of branching fractions, form-factor-independent observables, and J/ψ production in high-energy collisions. Barter's research aims to uncover new particles and validate Standard Model predictions through experimental data.
