Jacob Julian Kempster

Jacob Julian Kempster joined the ATLAS Collaboration in 2011 while at Royal Holloway, University of London. He subsequently worked as a Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham and is currently a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Sussex. His research focuses on using the top quark as a tool to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. He performed the first ATLAS search for lepton flavor violating (LFV) couplings of the top quark to muons and tau leptons, and previously served as a subgroup convener for the Top+X working group. His other primary research area is

Searching for flavourful violations of the Standard Model

Lidia Dell'Asta, Jacob Julian Kempster and Daniele Zanzi describe how the ATLAS Collaboration is probing forbidden flavour-changing and lepton-flavour-violating processes as powerful tests of the Standard Model’s limits.
