Searches for a high-mass Higgs-like diboson resonance in the H-->WW-->lvqq decay channel using pp collisions at both sqrt(s) = 8 and 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
(2016-08-16)
This work presents two searches for a high-mass Higgs boson in the H-->WW-->lvqq decay channel using the ATLAS detector to analyze the high-energy proton-proton collisions provided by the Large Hadron Collider at two ...
Topics on the Scalar Casimir Effect
(2010)
Recently the Casimir effect has been getting more popular because of
Applications of Diatomic Molecules
(2015-05-08)
I present a study and application of diatomic molecules to various uses in the laboratory. It begins with an experiment to trap ultracold nitric oxide, then proceeds to multiple experiments where tellurium is utilized to ...
Hot Electrons and Radial Transport in Saturn’s Inner Magnetosphere: Modeling the Effects on Ion Chemistry
(2012)
The E-ring of Saturn, located just beyond the main rings at four Saturn radii, was known to be made mostly of water and its by-products before the Cassini spacecraft arrived at Saturn in 2005. Since then, Cassini has ...
Spectrum Formation at Late Times in Type Ia Supernovae
(2015-05-08)
I present a study of radiative transfer effects in type Ia supernovae ranging from 3-4 months to nearly 2 years post-maximum light. I explore several components of spectrum formation, beginning with a semi-analytic model ...
Radiatively-driven Natural Supersymmetry
(2014-08-15)
Within the framework of supersymmetric theories, a question arises: how can the W, Z, and h masses be so low (∼ 100 GeV) when the superpartner masses are so high (mSUSY > 1−2 TeV)? This is the little hierarchy problem, and ...
Measurement of the Top Quark Pole Mass and QCD Radiation in Top Quark Pair Production using Electron-Muon Events with b-Tagged Jets in Proton-Proton Collisions at 7-8 TeV with the ATLAS Detector at the LHC
(2015)
As heavy as an atom of gold but much smaller than a proton, the top quark is the most massive fundamental particle known in the universe and an integral part of current particle physics research. The characteristics of the ...
DETECTION OF "TRILOBITE" AND "BUTTERFLY" RYDBERG MOLECULES IN CESIUM WITH KILODEBYE DIPOLE MOMENTS
(2015-04-06)
The detection and characterization of two classes of ultralong-range Rydberg molecules known as "trilobite" and "butterfly" molecules is presented. These molecules are a subset of a class of Rydberg molecules which ...
COSMOLOGY WITH TYPE IA SUPERNOVAE: ROBUST TECHNIQUES FOR DATA ANALYSIS AND PHOTOMETRIC CLASSIFICATION
(2017-05)
Since the accelerating expansion of the Universe was discovered by observing distant Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), SNe Ia have been playing an important role in constraining the unknown cause behind the observed cosmic ...
MOLECULAR BEAM EPITAXY OF ANTIMONY QUANTUM WELLS FOR PROBING TOPOLOGICAL SURFACE STATES
(2017)
A topoelectronic transition was predicted for an Sb quantum well (QW) as a function of QW thickness. Bulk Sb is a semimetal with a negative bandgap, with neither the conduction band minimum nor the valence band maximum at ...
