For my PhD studies, I am studying the branching fraction Bs->mu+mu- with data from the ATLAS experiment at CERN. In the standard model this decay is not possible at tree-level, and it is therefore very sensitive to contributions from new physics. The goal is to improve the current limit for the branching fraction set by the CDF experiment (short term), and once we have enough data, perform the measurement. The code for my analysis is written mostly in C++ (and a little python), but in the past I have also had some experience using Java. I am familiar with Windows and Linux.
