Casimir energies of cavities: The geometry question
(2012)
The question of how the Casimir effect relates to a system's geometry is of fundamental interest. In this thesis, we present new results for interior Casimir self-energies of various integrable geometries and show interesting ...
ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI IN THE ULTRAVIOLET SPECTRUM
(2016-05-13)
Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) produce rich, luminescent spectra across the electro- magnetic spectrum. This work focuses on topics in the ultraviolet region, where lie the broad absorption line outflows innate to Broad ...
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 ...
SEARCH FOR SUPERSYMMETRY IN FINAL STATES WITH TWO SAME SIGN LEPTONS OR THREE LEPTONS AND JETS WITH THE ATLAS DETECTOR AT THE LHC
(2017-07-07)
The Standard Model of particle physics is the culmination of decades of experimental and theoretical advancements
to successfully describe the elementary particles and their interactions at low energies, up to 100 GeV. ...
SEARCH FOR THE STANDARD MODEL HIGGS BOSON PRODUCTION AND DECAY TO W BOSON PAIRS USING THE LEPTON + MET + JETS CHANNEL USING 4.7 $fb^{-1}$ OF DATA RECORDED BY THE ATLAS DETECTOR AT $\sqrt{s} =$ 7 TEV PROTON-PROTON COLLISION
(2013)
A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson decaying to two W bosons with the subsequent decay to a final state containing one lepton, one neutrino, and two (or three) jets ($H\rightarrow WW^{*}\rightarrow\ell\nu
Cosmology of the PQMSSM
(2011)
This work presents the main implications of simultaneously considering the Peccei-Quinn solution
Flavor Changing Neutral Currents in a General Two Higgs Doublet Model: Using an Extended Sector to Search for New Physics
(2017-08)
In this dissertation I present studies of flavor-changing neutral Higgs interactions
in a general Two Higgs Doublet Model. I focus on the analytic calculation of
φ → tc and φ → τ μ where φ = h0 , H0 , A0 . In the case ...
MICROWAVE AND SURFACE ELECTROMETRY WITH RYDBERG ATOMS
(2016)
Measurements of microwave electric fields in rubidium vapor cells, and of static electric fields near quartz with cold rubidium are presented. The measurements are performed using electromagnetically induced transparency ...
SPECTROSCOPIC AND THEORETICAL STUDY OF LEAD MONOFLUORIDE TOWARD MEASURING THE PERMANENT ELECTRIC DIPOLE MOMENT OF THE ELECTRON
(2012)
This study explores the features of Lead Monofluoride (PbF) as a candidate in determining the permanent electric dipole moment of the electron (e-EDM). It accomplished three goals: 1) Measurement of the molecular dipole ...
Topological Transport in Sb Quantum Wells
(2015-05)
The following dissertation will cover the initial studies of Sb quantum wells as topological insulators. The theoretical background and previous studies of topological insulators are covered first, to set the foundation ...
