ENTRY #01 · THESIS
How do you tell a fake tau from a real one?
Jets can imitate hadronic tau decays. Measuring how often they do — at high transverse momentum — is my MSc thesis.

Teaching
Helping students understand physics
I tutor physics students online, and post past-paper walkthroughs on YouTube. Intuition first, then the formula.

About
Hi, I'm Jehanzeb.
I'm a physics student in the final year of my MSc. My thesis measures how often jets are misidentified as hadronic tau decays at high transverse momentum, using data from the ATLAS experiment at CERN.
Alongside research, I teach — and this site is where I share both.
