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.
Radiative transfer and type Ia supernovae spectra analysis in the context of supernovae factory.
(2005)
We showed the spectrum formation in SNeIa around maximum light to be a multi-layered process involving regions from 5000 km per s to 20000 km per s, interacting not only through scattering but also through pure emission. ...
Measurement of the Double Differential Dijet Mass Cross Section in pp(bar) Collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV
(2009)
This thesis presents the analysis of the double differential dijet mass cross section, measured at the DØ detector in Batavia, IL, using pp(bar) collisions at a center of mass energy of √s = 1.96 TeV. The dijet mass ...
Novel phenomena in confined electronic systems.
(2007)
Modern experimental methods have made it possible for physicists to investigate matter in extreme conditions. Two of the most extreme conditions are low temperature and low dimensionality. Fabricated semiconductor or metal ...
MEASUREMENT OF TOP QUARK PAIR PRODUCTION CROSS SECTION IN PROTON ANTIPROTON COLLISIONS AT √s = 1.96 TeV IN THE τ + jets FINAL STATE USING 1 fb<sup>-1</sup> OF DATA
(2009)
This dissertation presents a new measurement of p_p &rarr; t_t X
Polymer electrolyte conductivity and the Vogel equation.
(2004)
The frequency-dependent conductivity of an amorphous polymer electrolyte is examined. It is shown that the frequency-dependent conductivity of polymer electrolytes exhibit many of the same properties as ion conducting ...
The Casimir energy and PT-symmetric theories: The dielectric cylinder and unitarity of PT-symmetric QED.
(2005)
Abstract not available.
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 ...
A radio and x-ray search for intermediate-age supernovae: Tuning into the oldies.
(2001)
Type II supernovae (SNe) are the cataclysmic and very luminous last stage in the evolutionary track of very high mass stars, resulting in the destruction of the star and the ejection of large amounts of material into their ...
Laser cooling and trapping using Laguerre-Gaussian laser beams.
(2003)
Laser cooling and trapping has led to a revolution in Atomic and Molecular physics. Optical traps created with blue-detuned laser beams are desired for numerous studies. One method of creating such a trap is with ...
