Electrification and lightning in simulated supercell and non-supercell thunderstorms.
(2000)
Three parameterizations of a noninductive graupel-ice mechanism and various strengths of inductive graupel-droplet charging were tested. For a given storm type, the charge distribution and lightning produced by the different ...
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 ...
Baryogenesis Scenarios for Natural Supersymmetric Particle Physics Models
(2019-12-06)
Supersymmetric models with radiatively-driven electroweak naturalness require a light higgsino of mass ∼ 100 − 300 GeV. Naturalness in the QCD sector is invoked via the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) axion leading to mixed axion-higgsino ...
Topics on the Scalar Casimir Effect
(2010)
Recently the Casimir effect has been getting more popular because of
Measurement of the angular distribution of electrons from W boson decays at D-zero.
(1999)
We present a measurement of the electron angular distribution parameter a2 in W→ en events using data collected by the DO detector during the 1994--1995 Tevatron run. We compare our results with next-to-leading ...
Non-local thermodynamic equilibrium spectrum synthesis of type Ia supernovae.
(1997)
This thesis is broken down into 4 major sections, each highlighting a different way with which to use spectrum synthesis to analyze SNe Ia. Chapters 2 and 3 look at normal SNe Ia and their potential use as distance indicators ...
Abundances in planetary nebulae: An autopsy of low and intermediate mass stars.
(1997)
In this work we report on the results of synthetic thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch models (TP-AGB) and compare the results to the abundance ratios in a sample of planetary nebulae. We use updated the input ...
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 ...
