Anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking and nonstandard neutrino oscillations
(2005-07)
Scope and Method of Study: In this thesis, we propose four different scenarios that solves the tachyonic slepton mass problem of Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking (AMSB). We also address the question of neutrino ...
Atomic force microscopy methods for the analysis of high-let tracks in CR-39 plastic nuclear track detector
(2009-07)
Scope and Method of Study: Proton- and neutron-induced target fragmentation reactions generate short-range (~1-10 µm), high-linear energy transfer (LET) heavy nuclear recoil (HNR) particles that contribute to total radiation ...
Cavity-enhanced evanescent-wave chemical sensing using microresonators
(2006-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this research was to examine fused silica microresonators into which light was evanescently coupled into whispering-gallery modes (WGMs) using a tapered optical fiber. The high ...
Dynamics of kicked laser cooled rubidium atoms
(2006-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this research was to use laser cooling techniques to cool a sample of rubidium 87 atoms and pulse the cold atoms with an off-resonant standing wave of light. Among the objectives ...
Space radiation dosimetry: An optically stimulated luminescence radiation detector for low-earth orbit
(2004-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study was to investigate Al2O3:C as a potential optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) radiation detector for Low-Earth Orbit. The OSL response of Al2O3:C was characterized ...
Charge and spin transport in complex systems associated with spintronics
(2005-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study was to explore charge and spin transport in several complex systems associated with spintronics. A distinct conductivity exponent observed at the percolation transition ...
