Overview
Professor Goshaw current research is focused on the study of Nature's most massive particles, the W and Z bosons (carriers of the weak force) and the top quark (discovered in 1994). These studies have been carried out using 1.96 TeV proton-antiproton collisions provided by Fermilab's Tevatron, and analyzed using the CDF detector. Current studies concentrate on measurements of the tri-linear coupling among the photon, W boson and Z boson, as tests of the non-abelian character of the electroweak …

Observation of WWW Production in pp Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV with the ATLAS Detector.
Journal Article Physical review letters · August 2022 This Letter reports the observation of WWW production and a measurement of its cross section using 139 fb^{-1} of proton-proton collision data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events with tw ... Full text CiteHigh-precision measurement of the W boson mass with the CDF II detector.
Journal Article Science (New York, N.Y.) · April 2022 The mass of the W boson, a mediator of the weak force between elementary particles, is tightly constrained by the symmetries of the standard model of particle physics. The Higgs boson was the last missing component of the model. After observation of ... Full text CiteSearch for Lepton-Flavor Violation in Z-Boson Decays with τ Leptons with the ATLAS Detector.
Journal Article Physical review letters · December 2021 A search for lepton-flavor-violating Z→eτ and Z→μτ decays with pp collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented. This analysis uses 139 fb^{-1} of Run 2 pp collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV and is combined with the results of a similar ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
