• June2020. Our paper on the spectral shape of the beta‐decay of Xe‐137 to the ground state of Cs‐137 is published in PRL. In addition to providing a rare and accurate measurement of the first‐forbidden non‐unique beta‐decay
    shape, this work resulted in a novel test of the calculated electron spectral shapes in the context of the reactor
    antineutrino anomaly and spectral bump.
  • April 2020. While at CERN, Andie Wall started working with a few collaborators (including John Ellis, CBE FRS) on prospects to search for long-lived charged particles with MoEDAL. Their paper is now on arXiv.
  • April 2020. Kudos to Andie Wall for being accepted to the University of Pennsylvania's graduate school, one of the top US graduate schools in elementary particle physics! Best of luck with your Ph.D. studies.
  • February 17, 2020. The CERN Bulletin has a piece on our most recent MoEDAL paper on the search for Dyons, to which our group contributed.
