Particle Physics Phenomenology Group

Welcome to the website of the Phenomenology Group at the Centre for Particle Physics in the Department of Physics at Royal Holloway, University of London in the South East Physics Network (SEPnet). Our research in particle physics theory and phenomenology focuses on the search for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the study of dark matter in the universe. We are part of the NExT Institute.
