CASIMIR EFFECT: QUANTUM FLUCTUATIONS AND THERMAL FLUCTUATIONS
Li, Yang (2020-05-08)Any phenomenon caused by the nontrivial vacuum state of quantum fields in the presence of boundaries, nontrivial topology, varying background potentials, spacetime curvature, ect, could be referred to as a Casimir effect. ... -
Casimir energies of cavities: The geometry question
Abalo, Elom (2012)The question of how the Casimir effect relates to a system's geometry is of fundamental interest. In this thesis, we present new results for interior Casimir self-energies of various integrable geometries and show interesting ... -
Radiatively-driven Natural Supersymmetry
Mickelson, Daniel (2014-08-15)Within the framework of supersymmetric theories, a question arises: how can the W, Z, and h masses be so low (∼ 100 GeV) when the superpartner masses are so high (mSUSY > 1−2 TeV)? This is the little hierarchy problem, and ... -
Rare decays of the Z° boson and the Pi^0 meson
Tupper, Gary Bruce (1984-07)
