545 |a Andy Buckley is a Senior Lecturer in particle physics at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. He began his career in collider physics as a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, developing Cerenkov-ring reconstruction and CP-violation data-analyses for the LHCb experiment. Christopher White is a Reader in Theoretical Physics at Queen Mary University of London. He obtained his PhD at the University of Cambridge, specialising on high-energy corrections to the structure of the proton. He then moved to Nikhef, Amsterdam (the Dutch National Centre for Nuclear and High Energy Physics), where he broadened his research into hadron collider physics, including Monte Carlo simulation, the description of low momentum ('soft') radiation in QCD, and various aspects of top-quark and Higgs physics. Martin White is a Professor in particle astrophysics, and Deputy Dean of Research in the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Adelaide, Australia. He obtained a PhD in high energy physics at the University of Cambridge, working as a member of the ATLAS experiment with interests in silicon-detector physics, supersymmetry searches, and supersymmetry phenomenology.
