Preliminary research paper to fulfill UMD physics PhD requirement

umd_phd_candidacy_paper's Issues

First round of editing

Hi @manuelfs, I've posted the first incomplete draft on github. The notable omissions are:

• All theory part
• The LHCb R(D(*)) measurement with hadronic tau decay
• The final overlook section

You can view, edit, comment the document online with the link I sent to you. All changes can be synchronized back to this repository. Also, feel free to post your comments under this issue.

Thanks.

First round of edit:

• Provide an intro
• Finish the theory on SM LFU
• Focus on the comparison between BaBar and LHCb, reduce details on the tracker and calorimeters---only compare them qualitatively
• Don't use subsections for the review of experimental results
• Add the missing tau to 3 pions paper
• Add the recent world average on R(D(*))
• Add the nature paper's missing mass squared fit result comparison
• Fix the factual error on "many of LFU measurements involves b quarks": This is incorrect (again, nature)
• Fix marked grammatical errors

Second round of editing

I've made the following changes to the document, @manuelfs please take another look.

• Further editing of the introduction
• Separate Higgs mechanism to a separate subsection
• Trying to make theory sections more clear
• Mention BELLE in the detector section
