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 ...
Nanoscintillators For Radiation Detection
(Physics, 2013-07-22)
In the search for faster, more effective methods for detection of and protection against radiological weapons, advances in materials for radiation detection are a critical component of any successful strategy. This work ...
Atomic Adsorptions On Actinide Surfaces: Pathways To Nuclear Energy
(Physics, 2013-03-20)
The generalized gradient approximation (GGA) to density functional theory (DFT) and hybrid density functional theory have been used to compute the layer-by-layer properties of γ-uranium (γ-U) in the (100) symmetry. Guided ...
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 ...
