J/psi meson production in association with a W boson: Cross section ratio measurement with the ATLAS detector using 8 TeV pp data from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN
(2016-05-13)
The production mechanism of charmonium particles in hadronic collisions is not fully understood and is an active area of research. These mechanisms can be studied by examining the associated production of charmonium particles ...
Photoassociation and Rovibrational Cooling of Sodium Cesium Using Chirped Laser Pulses and Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage
(2015-04)
This dissertation presents the study of how two laser pulses can bind sodium and cesium atoms at ultracold temperature ($T=200\mu K$) into an ultracold, polar, diatomic molecule with a definite quantum state.
A single-channel ...
Galaxy Clusters Across the Electromagnetic Spectrum
(2016-12)
Galaxy clusters are the largest gravitationally bound objects in the Universe.
From radio to X-ray, we have observed these objects across the electromagnetic
spectrum. Formation theories suggest that clusters even emit ...
MEASUREMENT OF THE TOP QUARK MASS IN THE ALL HADRONIC FINAL STATE AT THE DØ EXPERIMENT
(2013)
The top quark is the heaviest fermion observed to date. A precise measurement of its mass and W boson mass is important to indirect measurements of Higgs boson mass. Furthermore, the top quark mass, W boson mass and Higgs ...
GEOMETRICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE CASIMIR EFFECT: THICKNESS AND CORRUGATION DEPENDENCIES
(2011)
In the quantum theory the vacuum is not empty space. It is considered as a state
Exotic Diatomic Molecules of Cesium
(2012)
The observation of a new, polar class of homonuclear diatomic molecules, called trilobite molecules, is presented. The molecules have permanent electric dipole moments of &sim20-100 Debye. The observations are in agreement ...
Molecular Beam Epitaxy of Narrow Gap Quantum Wells: InSb, InGaAs and Elemental Sb
(2013)
In this work the electronic properties of n-type and p-type quantum wells (QWs) made of narrow gap InSb and InGaAs materials have been studied experimentally. The narrower band gap in these materials leads to smaller ...
Exotic Diatomic Molecules of Cesium
(2012)
The observation of a new, polar class of homonuclear diatomic molecules, called trilobite molecules, is presented. The molecules have permanent electric dipole moments of &sim20-100 Debye. The observations are in agreement ...
Atom chip setup for cold Rydberg atom experiments
(2012)
The design, construction and characterization of an atom chip apparatus for cold Rydberg atom experiments with 87Rb is presented. The apparatus is designed to investigate interactions between Rydberg atoms and the nearby ...
Optimizing Thermal Conductivity in Functionalized Macromolecules
(2012)
The quest for high thermal conductivity materials has lead to nano-composites incorporating macromolecular materials with excellent thermal conductivity, such as carbon nano-tubes and graphene nano-ribbons, in a matrix ...
