Search for charged Higgs bosons in top quark pair decays at D-zero.
(1999)
We perform a search for a charged Higgs Boson (H +) lighter than the top quark, in the decay of top quark pairs. The search assumes no couplings to H+ except the Standard Model (SM) couplings. The modified Higgs sector of ...
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 ...
Enhanced Measurement of Transmission with Quantum States of Light
(2022)
Quantum metrology is the application of quantum mechanics towards the enhancement of
measurements. This is typically achieved through either quantum measurements, such as
photon counting, or using quantum states. In this ...
Cosmology with a Dark Refraction Index
(2009)
In this dissertation we review Gordon's optical metric theory, generalize it, and apply it to modern cosmology.
Search for vector-like quarks and dark matter in mono-top events in proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector
(2019-05-10)
This dissertation describes a search for events with one top-quark and large
missing transverse momentum in the final state. Data collected during
2015 and 2016 by the ATLAS experiment from 13 TeV proton-proton collisions ...
Quantum Reactive Scattering: Collision Induced Dissociation
(2010)
A new method of generating basis functions for reactive and collision-induced dissociation
