Reflections on general relativity from perspectives of black hole physics and Hořava-Lifshitz gravity.
(2015-07-30)
The physical logic of the Theory of General Relativity is summarized employing differential geometry of surfaces in three dimensional Euclidean space as a visual assistance for understanding. The applications of general ...
Initial systematic investigations of the weakly coupled free fermionic heterotic string landscape statistics.
(, 2011-09-14)
A C++ framework was constructed with the explicit purpose of systematically generating string models using the Weakly Coupled Free Fermionic Heterotic String (WCFFHS) method. The software, optimized for speed, generality, ...
Total electron scattering cross sections of molecules containing H, B, C, N, O, F, Si, P, S, and Cl in the energy range 0.1- 6.0 keV.
(2017-11-06)
The effective atomic total electron scattering cross sections (EATCS) of atomic H, B, C, N, O, F, Si, P, S, and Cl are proposed for 0.1-6.0 keV energies using the existing experimental total electron scattering cross ...
Search for supersymmetric partners of the top quark with the CMS detector and novel top quark tagging algorithms.
(2019-07-19)
The standard model of particle physics has been highly successful in explaining observed interactions of subatomic particles. The model was largely vindicated with the announced observation of the Higgs boson by the ATLAS ...
Two-dimensional Hořava-Lifshitz theory of gravity.
(2017-11-03)
In this dissertation, two-dimensional Hařava theory of gravity has been studied on the classical and quantum mechanical levels. The classical solutions of the projectable and nonprojectable Hořava gravity have been found ...
Measurement of the single top quark cross section in the lepton plus jets final state in proton-antiproton collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV using the CDF II detector.
(, 2013-05-15)
We present a measurement of the single top quark cross section in the lepton
plus jets final state using an integrated luminosity corresponding to 7.5/fb of
collision data collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. ...
Thomas Fermi model for mesons and new noise subtraction techniques in lattice QCD.
(2018-12-03)
Lattice QCD calculations of quark loop operators are extremely time-consuming to evaluate. To calculate these diagrams we use stochastic noise methods, which employ a randomly generated set of noise vectors to project out ...
Electric neutron polarizability and eigenspectrum subtraction techniques for disconnected quark loops.
(, 2011-09-14)
I present an analysis for the mass shift of the neutron in order to obtain the neutron electric polarizability. Neutron electric polarizability can be studied by implementing a static electric field on the lattice. The ...
Nanomanipulator perturbation of dust crystals in a GEC rf plasma cell.
(2010-10-08)
The vast majority of observable matter is composed of complex plasma. Even with its prevalence, the interactions between the plasma's constituents are not fully understood. In many cases, clouds of dust grains from and can ...
Fundamental physics within complex plasmas.
(, 2012-11-29)
In this work, both experimental and numerical methods are used to investigate several of the fundamental processes and assumptions commonly found in an earth-based radio-frequency (RF) complex plasma discharge. First the ...
