Synthetic spectrum methods for three dimensional supernova models.
(2003)
This dissertation describes some problems associated with synthesizing emergent spectra from three-dimensional supernova envelope models. We confront these problems by developing a three-dimensional implementation of a ...
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 ...
Many-body dimensional perturbation theory for quantum confined systems with a focus on atomic gas Bose-Einstein condensates.
(2003)
Feshbach resonances notwithstanding, most experimentally realized atomic-vapor condensates are dilute and are best described by the mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii equation. For this reason, we use dimensional scaling methods ...
