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 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 SEARCH FOR EVIDENCE OF PHYSICS BEYOND THE STANDARD MODEL WITH NEW LIGHT BOSONS DECAYING INTO PAIRS OF MUONS AT √S = 13 TEV USING THE CMS DETECTOR
(2019-07-03)The standard model (SM) of particle physics is to date the most accurate description of fundamental particles and the interactions between them. While there are strong motivations for physics beyond the SM, experimental ... -
A SELF-CONSISTENT VISCOUS BLAST WAVE MODEL AND ITS APPLICATIONS TO HIGH ENERGY NUCLEAR COLLISIONS
(2019-11-04)Collisions of nuclei at large energies create fireballs of hot hadronic matter and quark gluon plasma. The properties of these extreme forms of nuclear matter can be studied by the experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion ... -
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 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 ... -
