Probing the large-scale structure of the universe :
(The University of Oklahoma., 1985)
This dissertation presents the discription of 55 bright, close (z (LESSTHEQ) 0.1) clusters of galaxies as a homogeneous sample taken from a new effort to catalogue galaxy clusters in the Southern Hemisphere. The positions ...
Cosmology of the PQMSSM
(2011)
This work presents the main implications of simultaneously considering the Peccei-Quinn solution
MIXED AXION-NEUTRALINO DARK MATTER IN THE SUPERSYMMETRIC DFSZ MODEL
(2016)
The lack of evidence for weak scale supersymmetry (SUSY) from LHC Run-I at √s = 8 TeV and Run-II with √s = 13 TeV results have caused a paradigm shift in expected phenomenology of SUSY models. The spectrum of sparticle ...
The Initial-Final Mass Relation Revisited: A Monte Carlo Approach with the Addition of the M67 White Dwarf Population
(2018-12)
The initial-final mass relation (IFMR) describes how the initial mass of a stellar
object maps to its mass as a remnant. The focus of this work is to re-examine this
relation for low to intermediate mass stars.

NANO INTEGRATED LITHIUM POLYMER ELECTROLYTES BASED ON ANODIC ALUMINUM OXIDE (AAO) TEMPLATES
(2012)
Since their discovery in the 1970s, polymer electrolytes have been actively studied because they have properties important for many device applications. However, even after 40 years, the detailed mechanisms of conductivity ...
QUANTUM MONTE CARLO STUDY OF BOSONIC LATTICE SYSTEMS IN THE PRESENCE OF DISORDER
(2018-08-30)
Disorder is ubiquitous in condensed matter systems, but a thorough understanding of these systems is hindered by poor control over the nature of disorder and competing interactions. Ultracold gases trapped in optical ...
Progress Towards Producing and Trapping Cold Nitric Oxide
(2012)
I present the experimental results of a new source of cold molecular production using activated carbon and the design of the necessary apparatus. This new source may eliminate the need for laser ablation loading in buffer ...
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 ...
Bolometric Luminosities of Peculiar Type II-P Supernovae
(2018-08-02)
In this work, I analyze the bolometric luminosities of several peculiar Type II-P supernovae which are thought to originate from the same class of blue supergiant progenitor stars as the famous SN 1987A. This analysis is ...
