STUDIES OF COSMIC RAYS AND MINIMUM BIAS MEASUREMENTS IN PROTON-PROTON COLLISIONS AT (s)^1/2 = 0.9 and 7 TeV WITH THE ATLAS DETECTOR AT THE LHC
(2011)
The first measurement of lower momentum charged particle multiplicities made by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC are presented. The charged particle multiplicities are measured as a function of transverse momentum, ...
Measuring The Trilinear Higgs Couplings at LHC
(2015-12)
The results from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) indicate that the couplings of the Higgs boson to other particles are consistent with the Standard Model. The coupling of the Higgs boson to itself will be the final and ...
LHC Phenomenology and Dark Matter Considerations for Various Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking Models
(2010)
In this thesis we examine three different models in the MSSM context, all of which have significant supergravity anomaly contributions to their soft masses. These models are the so-called Minimal, Hypercharged, and Gaugino ...
TRANSPORT AND SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF LIQUID AND POLYMER ELECTROLYTES
(2012)
Liquid and polymer electrolytes are interesting and important materials to study as they are used in Li rechargeable batteries and other electrochemical devices. It is essential to investigate the fundamental properties ...
WEAK ANTI-LOCALIZATION STUDIES OF SPIN-ORBIT COUPLING IN N- AND P-TYPE InSb HETEROSTRUCTURES
(2012)
The effects of spin-orbit interactions (SOIs) on transport properties of InSb/AlInSb heterostructures have been studied experimentally. At low temperatures, the quantum interference gives rise to a quantum correction to ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
PLANETARY REMNANTS AROUND WHITE DWARF STARS
(2015-05-08)
In this dissertation we present the results of four separate searches for infrared excess emission at white dwarf stars. Using spectra from the IRTF and photometry from PAIRITEL, MMT+SWIRC, Gemini+NIRI, and Spitzer+IRAC ...
Geometric Phase, Zeeman, and Optical Effects in the Excitation of PbF and Kr
(2011)
This dissertation is motivated by two major challenges in modern Physics. One is related to precession measurement and other is related to atmospheric science.
