- Author contribution statement
- Allport coordinated the ATLAS Upgrade programme from 2011 to 2015, which included the introduction of a new innermost layer of the silicon tracking detector ('insertable B layer', IBL). The IBL enabled the improved b quark tagging efficiency that was vital to this observation. Allport made a direct contribution to the IBL by pioneering the radiation hardness studies of its thin planar detectors. As Upgrade Coordinator he led critical reviews of the IBL technology choices and proposed the final configuration of its sensors. Analysis leading to this observation also had very significant input from Birmingham colleagues working under Allport's guidance.
