Zhu, Yaodong (2017-06-06)Localization is a powerful tool to compute physical quantities such as partition functions, free energies and expectation values of certain operators exactly at any coupling in many supersymmetric theories. Due to this ...
-
Krislock, Abram Michael (2012-10-19)Dark matter has been shown to be extremely abundant in our universe. It comprises about 23 percent of the energy density of the entire universe, which is more than five times greater than the regular matter we already know ...
-
Jimenez Moya, Esteban (2018-08-08)We study the impact of a modified expansion rate on the dark matter relic abundance and leptogenesis in two types of scalar-tensor theories. The first scenario is motivated from string theory constructions, which have ...
-
Leggett, Tristan (2014-08-06)We take a tour through modern high energy theory, beginning with the Standard Model, Supersymmetry, Supergravity, and Grand Unified Theories. We then review the constraints imposed by experiments on our model parameters ...
-
Ghosh, Tathagata (2016-07-29)We study the possibility of detection of the neutralinos and sleptons of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) that explains the (g − 2)µ anomaly at the LHC. In this thesis, we scan the MSSM parameter space that ...
-
Thompson, Adrian T. (2023-07-26)Axions and axion-like pseudoscalar particles with dimension-5 couplings to photons exhibit coherent Bragg-Primakoff scattering with ordered crystals at keV energy scales. This provides for a natural detection technique in ...
-
Liao, Shu (2020-03-16)This work is to probe the potential of constraining various parameters of physics beyond Standard Model (BSM) using the coherent scattering of neutrinos from reactors, accelerators, and sun. In this work, a discovery ...
-
Mera, Fernando Daniel (2011-08-08)The objective of the thesis is to treat the Schrodinger equation in parallel with a standard treatment of the heat equation. In the books of the Rubensteins and Kress, the heat equation initial value problem is converted ...
-
Gurrola, Alfredo (2011-10-21)Over the last few decades, the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics has been used as a means of understanding the world around us. However, there is an increasing amount of data that suggests the SM of particle physics ...
-
Khotilovich, Vadim Gennadyevich (2009-05-15)I present the results of a search for pair production of scalar top quarks (~t1) in an R-parity violating supersymmetric scenario using 322 pb_1 of pp collisions at ps = 1.96 TeV collected by the upgraded Collider Detector ...
-
Montalvo, Roy Joaquin (2013-02-28)In this dissertation results are presented from a search for the pair production of heavy colored particles (gluinos, squarks) in R-parity conserving supersymmetric models, in which the lightest supersymmetric particle is ...
-
Elagin, Andrey (2012-02-14)A search for the Higgs boson decaying to tau tau using 7.8 fb^-1 of pp collisions at 1.96 TeV collected with CDF II detector is presented. The search is sensitive to four production mechanisms of the Higgs boson: ggH, WH, ...
-
Wang, Kechen (2014-08-01)This dissertation describes the search strategies we developed for the lighter top squark (called stop, or ˜t) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). When the lighter top squarks are produced from the cascade decay of gluino ...
-
Li, Zhijin (2017-08-11)Conformal field theories (CFTs) play central roles in modern theoretical physics. Many CFTs are strongly coupled and cannot be studied using perturbative method. Conformal bootstrap provides a non-perturbative approach to ...
-
Wei, Hongduo (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)We study the interaction between superconductors and ferromagnets in two systems: a ferromagnet-superconductor bilayer, and a thin superconducting film with a periodic array of magnetic dots upon it, with spontaneous ...
-
Trendafilova, Cynthia (2011-08-08)In the first section of my research, in analogy with the standard derivation of the spherically symmetric Schwarzschild solution of the Einstein field equations, I find all static, cylindrically symmetric solutions of the ...
-
Maxin, James A. (2010-10-12)The low-energy supersymmetry phenomenology for specific classes of string compactifications is investigated given that the low-energy physics may provide a clue as to the structure of the fundamental theory at high energy ...
-
Shin, Jongchul (2018-11-07)This dissertation aims at developing a new time-domain Propagator numerical method for full-wave electromagnetic wave propagation and scattering. An analytical and numerical solution of the full-wave time-domain Propagator ...
-
Gin, Craig R (2015-07-13)We study the linear stability of multi-layer Hele-Shaw flows. This topic has many useful applications including the design of efficient enhanced oil recovery techniques. We study four problems: two in a rectilinear flow ...
-
Cabrera, Yaniel (2017-06-28)We study conformal defects in two important examples of string theory orbifolds. First, we show that topological defects in the language of Landau-Ginzburg models carry information about the RG flow between the non-compact ...
