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. ...
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 ...
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.
First-principles study of electronic properties of one dimensional nanostructures
(, 2010-05)
Scope and Method of Study:
New ideas in Higgs physics
(2010-05)
The Higgs mechanism, which is responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking and unitarization of massive W plus or minus and Z scattering, is a fundamental ingredient of the Standard Model (SM). However, there is as yet ...
