    • Forward–Backward Asymmetry of Top Quark Pair Production at the Fermilab Tevatron 
      Hong, Ziqing (2015-12-15)
      This dissertation presents the final measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry (AFB) of top quark-antiquark pair events (tt) at the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) experiment. The tt events are produced in ...
    • String Phenomenology in the Era of LHC 
      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 ...
    • The Interactions of and Protection Against High-Energy Cosmic Rays on Eye Tissue 
      Freeman, Bridger Hayes
      As the interest in space exploration becomes ever more relevant, so too do the health risks of space. For humans, the eyes are one of the most vulnerable organs to radiation. Though there is notable previous research that ...
    • Track-Based Muon System Alignment at CMS 
      Newton, Greyson Nikolai
      Track-Based Alignment of the CMS Muon System - Muon detection and reconstruction at the CMS experiment relies upon synchronized alignment between the Muon System and the Tracker System. Misalignment of these two systems ...
