Fermion masses and mixings, flavor violation, and the Higgs boson mass in supersymmetric unified framework
(2011-07)
In spite of the impressive success of the standard model (SM) in explaining a wide variety of low energy experiments, many fundamental questions remain unanswered. Combining grand unification symmetry and flavor symmetry ...
New physics at the TeV scale
(2015-07)
The Standard Model of particle physics is assumed to be a low-energy effective theory with new physics theoretically motivated to be around TeV scale. The thesis presents theories with new physics beyond the Standard Model ...
Coupling effects in dielectric microcavities
(2010-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The simple four-mirror ring cavity model of microsphere resonances is extended to include internal polarization coupling and dual-cavity coupling. This model is extended into the time domain ...
Photo- and radiochromic transformations in Al2O3:C,Mg fluorescent nuclear track detectors and high resolution imaging of radiation fields
(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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
Antiferromagnetic spinor condensates in microwave dressing fields and optical lattices
(2015-12)
In this thesis, I present the design and construction of several experimental parts, e.g., a spin-flip Zeeman slower, a fast feedback circuit, and some magnetic field driving circuits. An efficient method of optimizing the ...
Fermion masses and new symmetries beyond the standard model
(2010-12)
The Standard Model (SM) lacks a satisfactory explanation for the large hierarchy of the fermion masses. The use of extra symmetries is used to create a mechanism to explain this hierarchy.
Theory and phenomenology of Higgs bosons in left-right supersymmetric models
(2014-05)
Scope and Method of Study. In this dissertation, I study the theory and phenomenology of Higgs bosons in the framework of various models with supersymmetry, left-right symmetry and universal extra dimensions. In Chapter ...
