(2010-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The goal of this work was to develop fluorescent nuclear track detectors (FNTD) based on aluminum oxide doped with carbon and magnesium (Al2O3:C,Mg) as a multi-purpose radiation detection technology. ...
Engineering metal parallel plate waveguides as a 2-D plane for high resolution THz time domain spectroscopy
(2011-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The research summarized in this dissertation is on the investigation of the application of metal parallel plate waveguides (PPWG) for performing high resolution spectroscopic measurements of ...
Further developments in 2D optically stimulated luminescence dosimetry based on Al2O3 and MgB4O7
(2020-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The objective of this work is to explore potential improvements in 2D OSL dosimetry. These include the introduction of Tikhonov regularization in the pixel bleeding algorithm, which was investigated ...
New ideas for Yukawa interactions and the origin of mass
(2011-07)
I explore new ideas in the Yukawa sector of the Standard Model. Very little is known experimentally about the Yukawa sector. We have yet to discover the Higgs boson. We have not experimentally measured the Yukawa couplings. ...
Exploration of Photon Echo in a Bose-Einstein Condensate
(2019-07)
A whole new area of experimental physics was opened up with the successful realization of the BEC in 1995. A BEC can be utilized to perform experiments where quantum phenomena can be seen on a macroscopic scale. In our ...
Neutrino and Higgs Physics: Road-Map to Discovery for New Physics Beyond the Standard Model
(2019-07)
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, in spite of being spectacularly successful in describing the low-energy physics, cannot be a complete theory of Nature. There are strong theoretical as well as experimental ...
Evaluation of specialty fibers and waveguides for ultrashort laser pulse propagation
(2008-05)
Ultrashort pulse lasers have become invaluable tools in many areas of science and technology. Optical waveguide or fiber delivery of ultrashort pulses would benefit numerous applications that require remote location of the ...
Transport and resonances in kicked Bose-Einstein condensates
(2010-12)
Scope and Method of Study: A purpose of this research was to study the scaling behavior of resonances of a periodically kicked quantum system. Specifically, a model known as a quantum delta-kicked rotor (QDKR) was implemented ...
Development of optically stimulated luminescence dating techniques for application to terrestrial and martian studies
(2005-12)
Scope and Method of Study: Geological processes including aeolian and fluvial activity have shaped the surface of Mars. The temporal timescale on which these events have taken is place is important for understanding the ...
