Professor Stephen F King is a world renowned expert in neutrino physics, beyond the standard model physics and the early universe.
We are working on various models of neutrino mass and mixing, ranging from low energy theories at the TeV scale, with experimental signatures at both high energy hadron colliders and and high luminosity lepton experiments, to high scale seesaw models which may provide the origin of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe via so called “leptogenesis”. Our low scale approach postulates a doubly charged Higgs-like particle with a mass in the 100 GeV range, while our seesaw approach proposes a very simple but highly predictive scheme called the “Littlest Seesaw” leading to distinctive predictions for the next generation of high precision neutrino experiments.
We are particularly interested in Higgs extensions of the Standard Model which predict new phenomena associated with either deviations from the observed Higgs boson’s properties, or indeed additional Higgs bosons which have not been observed. Such extensions may or may not involve the idea of Supersymmetry and we are pursuing both possibilities, searching for extensions of the Standard Model which might show on in Run-2 of the LHC at CERN.
