6d (2, 0) Theory and M5 Branes: A KK Mode Approach
(2013-07-16)6d (2, 0) theory on M5 branes is investigated by considering its KK modes on a 2d space. Selecting KK modes on different 2d spaces amounts to choosing different set of selfdual strings as the perturbative degrees of freedom ... -
A Census of Mid-Infrared Selected Active Galactic Nuclei in Massive Galaxy Clusters at 0 < z < 1.3
(2012-10-29)We conduct a deep mid-infrared census of nine massive galaxy clusters at (0 < z < 1.3) with a total of ~ 1500 spectroscopically confirmed member galaxies using Spitzer /IRAC photometry and established mid-infrared color ... -
A Determination of the 27Si(P,y) Reaction Rate Using its Mirror and its Importance in X-Ray Burst Nucleosynthesis
(2017-12-08)X-ray bursts are the most frequent thermonuclear explosions occurring in the universe and represent one of the sources of heavier element nucleosynthesis. In order to determine how much X-ray bursts influence the abundances ... -
A New Diffuse Reflecting Material with Applications Including Integrating Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy
(2014-04-16)We report the development of a new diffuse reflecting material with measured diffuse reflectivity values as high as 0.9992 at 532 nm, and 0.9969 at 266 nm. These values are, to the author’s best knowledge, the highest ... -
A Novel Concept for a Positron Emission Tomography Scanner
(2014-10-03)Positron Emission Tomography (PET) allows physicians and researchers to visualize metabolic data in the human body and is widely used in cancer and neurological imaging. Traditional PET scanners consist of a thin ring of ... -
A Software Suite for Testing the Performance of the Optical Trigger Motherboard Electronics System for the CMS Experiment at the LHC
(2013-09-28)The Optical Trigger Mother Board (OTMB) and mezzanine card is part of the upgrade of the muon Level-1 trigger system of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). 72 of the new boards ... -
A Study of Conceptual and Mathematical Knowledge in Introductory Mechanics Courses
(2013-09-09)Much of current physics education research involves the use of the Force Concept Inventory, commonly referred to as the FCI. The FCI is a conceptual inventory examination used to study student comprehension and learning ... -
A STUDY OF PROPERTIES OF TYPE IA SUPERNOVA AND THE CALIBRATION OF MULTIBAND PHOTOMETRY
(2012-04-27)The peak luminosity of Type Ia Supernova (SN) can be calibrated using a distance independent luminosity parameter called the decline rate parameter (?m15 (B) to get accurate distances to the galaxies. The photometry gathered ... -
A STUDY OF QUANTUM ANNEALING DEVICES FROM A CLASSICAL PERSPECTIVE
(2017-12-07)Spin glasses are experiencing a revival due to applications in quantum information theory. In particular, they are the archetypal native benchmark problem for quantum annealing machines. Furthermore, they find applications ... -
A Study on the Applications of Quantum Optical Coherence to Nano-Optics
(2017-01-04)Optically controlled dipole-dipole interaction at submicrometers and subwavelength scales leads to many interesting phenomenon and remarkable potential applications in quantum optics, condensed matter physics, and today’s ... -
A Unified T-Matrix Approach to Quark-Gluon Plasma
(2018-05-02)We develop a non-perturbative microscopic approach to study the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), which treats all partons (light, heavy and static) in a unified framework. The starting point is a relativistic effective Hamiltonian ... -
