Elena Graverini (LPHE-LS) was awarded an Ambizione grant by the Swiss National Science Foundation to fund her project entitled From beauty to strangeness: a flavor approach to probing new interactions. Ambizione grants allow young researchers to carry out, manage and direct research projects independently.
Elena offers an original approach to probe the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, i.e. the hypothesis that the interactions of leptons are independent of their flavour. A study of decays at the quark scale will be carried out at the LHCb experiment.
At the same time, Elena and her future team will also take part in a new experiment, which is currently being installed: SND@LHC. The commissioning is scheduled for LHC Run3 starting in the beginning of 2022.
A doctoral position is to be filled to participate in Elena’s research (check out the open positions at LPHE).
