Study of secondary neutrons from uniform scanning proton beams by means of experiment and simulation
(2013-07)
Proton radiotherapy is becoming popular as an effective modality to treat cancer. However the advantages of the proton radiotherapy could be offset due to the effect of secondary neutrons. Secondary neutrons are an undesired ...
State dependence of quantum ratchets
(2017-05)
This dissertation reports on the experimental investigation of quantum state evolution using the atomic-optical quantum delta kicked rotors (AOQDKR) with a Bose- Einstein condensate (BEC) of 87Rb atoms. To achieve the ...
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 ...
Structural dynamics of photoactive yellow protein
(2013-07)
Photoactive yellow protein (PYP) is a blue light photoreceptor protein. PYP is a structural prototype of the PAS domain superfamily of regulating and signaling proteins. Upon absorption of a blue light photon, PYP exhibits ...
