John Back is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Warwick, specializing in Flavour physics and CP violation. His work focuses on B decays and the analysis of complex decay patterns using advanced software tools like EvtGen, which generates simulation samples for B decay events. He has contributed to the LHCb experiment, performing detailed analyses of Lambda_b decays, including Dalitz plot analyses and studies of charmless three-body decays. Back has also engaged in thermal modeling for the Vertex Locator upgrade project, utilizing COMSOL for simulations. His interests extend into neutrino physics, where he works on targetry simulations for the DUNE/LBNF facility, employing Geant4 and Fluka software to optimize muon neutrino flux. He has developed reconstruction software for 3D detector technologies as part of the AIDAinnova project and investigated hidden sector physics in the SHiP experiment. His previous research includes constructing and operating the Front End Test Stand at Rutherford Lab, focusing on high brightness proton accelerators.
