  • Observation of a new boson at a mass of 125 GeV with the CMS experiment at the LHC (7376 citations)
  • The ATLAS Experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (2415 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Particle physics, Nuclear physics, Large Hadron Collider, Electron–positron annihilation and Hadron are his primary areas of study. Particle physics is closely attributed to Lepton in his work. His work in Nuclear physics is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Detector.

His research in Large Hadron Collider intersects with topics in Muon and Atlas. Sau Lan Wu combines subjects such as B meson, Aleph, CP violation, Annihilation and Asymmetry with his study of Electron–positron annihilation. His Hadron research includes elements of Pion, Quantum chromodynamics, Monte Carlo method and Charged particle.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Particle physics (183.56%)
  • Nuclear physics (147.44%)
  • Large Hadron Collider (134.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Particle physics (183.56%)
  • Large Hadron Collider (134.65%)
  • Atlas detector (60.53%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Particle physics, Large Hadron Collider, Atlas detector, Lepton and Higgs boson. Nuclear physics covers Sau Lan Wu research in Large Hadron Collider. The concepts of his Nuclear physics study are interwoven with issues in Charged particle, Monte Carlo method and Detector.

His Atlas detector study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Rapidity, Transverse momentum, Quantum chromodynamics and Atlas. His Lepton research integrates issues from Physics beyond the Standard Model and Neutrino. The study incorporates disciplines such as Bottom quark and Branching fraction in addition to Higgs boson.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The ATLAS Experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (2415 citations)
  • Combined measurements of Higgs boson production and decay using up to 80 fb− 1 of proton-proton collision data at √s=13 TeV collected with the ATLAS experiment (230 citations)
  • Observation of Higgs boson production in association with a top quark pair at the LHC with the ATLAS detector (219 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Particle physics
  • Electron

His primary areas of study are Particle physics, Large Hadron Collider, Higgs boson, Atlas detector and ATLAS experiment. The study of Particle physics is intertwined with the study of Lepton in a number of ways. His study on Large Hadron Collider is covered under Nuclear physics.

His Nuclear physics study incorporates themes from Detector and Photon. His study in Higgs boson is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Physics beyond the Standard Model, Gluon and Standard deviation. His ATLAS experiment study combines topics in areas such as Production and Gluino.
