Observation of opposite sign WW with an associated photon production at a center of mass energy of 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
(2022-12)
The analysis presented in this thesis expects to provide the first observation of the opposite sign WW with an associated photon process and to measure its fiducial cross section. The analysis uses proton-proton collision ...
III-V and Thin Film Photovoltaics for Extraterrestrial Application
(2019)
Photovoltaic power is one of the few options available for electrical devices stationed outside of our atmosphere. As the satellite market turns to smaller satellites based on the CubeSat and SmallSat form factor, these ...
THE UNIQUE GEOMETRIES AND ILLUMINATIONS OF PROTOPLANETARY DISKS AND THEIR POTENTIAL EXOPLANETS
(2019-05-11)
The discovery of new protoplanetary disk structures can help reveal the dynamics of the young planetary systems and potentially point to planet formation within the disk. In my dissertation, I present investigations of ...
Dust Formation and Destruction in Core Collapse Supernovae Explosions
(2024)
Dust is a crucial component of the Interstellar Medium (ISM) and an important driver in many astrophysical processes. Dust formed from evolved stars increases the metallicity of the ISM, enriching it with heavier elements. ...
Characterization and Control of Spatial Correlations in Entangled Twin Beams
(2024-05-10)
Our understanding and ability to manipulate quantum correlations in non-classical states of light
will be a determining factor in realizing the next generation of quantum technologies. Over the
last several decades, we ...
"'Tis something, nothing", a search for radio supernovae.
(1998)
We report VLA radio observations of 29 SNe with ages ranging from 10 days to about 90 years past explosion. Included are detections of known radio SNe 1950B, 1957D, 1970G, 1983N, the suspected radio SN 1923A, and the ...
