Optimization Of Energy Resolution In The Digital Hadron Calorimeter Using Longitudinal Weights
(Physics, 2013-07-22)
Particle physics seeks to describe matter in its most elementary structure. With lepton colliders; couplings of gauge bosons and heavy quarks, physics beyond the Standard Model, and properties of a recently discovered Higgs ...
Atomic And Molecular Adsorptions Of Hydrogen And Oxygen On Silicon Nanotubes: An Ab Initio Study
(Physics, 2013-07-22)
A systematic ab initio study of silicon nanotubes (SiNTs) in single-walled, double-walled armchair and zigzag configurations will be presented. Electronic and structural properties of all these nanostructures have been ...
Silicon Carbide At Nanoscale: Finite Single-walled To "infinite" Multi-walled Tubes
(Physics, 2013-03-20)
A systematic ab initio study of silicon carbide (SiC) nanostructures, especially finite single-walled, infinite double- and multi-walled nanotubes and nanocones is presented. Electronic and structural properties of all ...
Selected Studies Of Celestial Dynamics And Habitability Of Extra Solar Planetary Systems
(Physics, 2013-03-20)
Planetary science in various forms has become interwoven into human culture during all of known human history. The need and desire to expand our horizons has brought humans from basic forms of observation to the development ...
Quantum Modeling Of Dark Matter In Galactic Halos
(Physics, 2013-03-20)
Eighty years after its initial discovery, the nature of dark matter remains a mystery. Contrary to observational evidence, simulations of dark matter halos predict cuspy density profiles and an abundant population of dwarf ...
Interaction Of The Geomagnetic Field With Northward Interplanetary Magnetic Field
(Physics, 2013-07-22)
The interaction of the solar wind with Earth's magnetic field causes the transfer of momentum and energy from the solar wind to geospace. The study of this interaction is gaining significance as our society is becoming ...
Search For The Standard Model Higgs Boson In eτ Final States
(Physics, 2013-07-22)
Presented in this dissertation is a search for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson using the DØ detector at Fermilab in Batavia, IL. The SM is a fantastically accurate theory describing the fundamental interactions and ...
Magnetic Thermal Hysteresis In Dy, Gd And Gd/Dy/Gd Nanolayers And Experimental Determination Of Thermodynamic Properties Of Thin Film Systems.
(Physics, 2013-03-20)
Magnetic thermal hysteresis (MTH) is observed when the temperature dependent magnetic properties of a material are reliant on the starting point of the measurement. MTH was observed in thin film Dy samples at low values ...
