LHC Phenomenology and Dark Matter Considerations for Various Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking Models
(2010)
In this thesis we examine three different models in the MSSM context, all of which have significant supergravity anomaly contributions to their soft masses. These models are the so-called Minimal, Hypercharged, and Gaugino ...
TRANSPORT AND SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF LIQUID AND POLYMER ELECTROLYTES
(2012)
Liquid and polymer electrolytes are interesting and important materials to study as they are used in Li rechargeable batteries and other electrochemical devices. It is essential to investigate the fundamental properties ...
BARYON CONTENT TO THE OUTSKIRTS OF LOW-TEMPERATURE POOR GALAXY GROUPS
(2019-12-05)
Little is known concerning the overall properties of galaxy groups, especially at large radii. A better understanding of them will constrain numerical simulations regarding their formation and evolution, as well as reveal ...
High Contrast Imaging of Planet-forming Disks with Extreme Adaptive Optics Systems
(2022)
Circumstellar disks serve as benchmark systems to study how and where exoplanets form. With the advent of ground-based extreme adaptive optics (AO) facilities, we have entered a revolutionary era for disk studies. It is ...
The direct analysis of spectra of type Ia supernovae.
(2000)
By using SYNOW, we show that most of the spectroscopic differences among type Ia supernovae can be explained by the temperature; therefore, the composition of most of the type Ia supernovae is essentially the same. In ...
The dark universe: the interplay of cosmological moduli, axions, and the MSSM
(2023-05)
In this work, we introduce two effective field theories which parameterize a light modulus field interacting both with the MSSM ($\phi$MSSM) and with the MSSM combined with an additional supersymmetric DFSZ axion ($\phi$PQMSSM). ...
WEAK ANTI-LOCALIZATION STUDIES OF SPIN-ORBIT COUPLING IN N- AND P-TYPE InSb HETEROSTRUCTURES
(2012)
The effects of spin-orbit interactions (SOIs) on transport properties of InSb/AlInSb heterostructures have been studied experimentally. At low temperatures, the quantum interference gives rise to a quantum correction to ...
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 ...
Intervalley Scattering in III-V Heterostructures and its Application to Valley Photovoltaic Hot Carrier Solar Cells
(2022-12-16)
The efficiency limit of 33% for a single gap solar cell is not fundamental. Mitigation of thermalization losses which occur when high energy ‘hot’ carriers are only extracted at the same energy as low energy carriers is a ...
