McCleskey, Matthew Edgar (2012-02-14)With new radioactive isotope accelerators coming online in the next decade, the problem of extracting reliable nuclear structure information from reactions with unstable nuclei deserves considerable attention. A method has ...

Martinez, John Calvin (2015-05-12)The absorption of hydrogen in zirconium-based nuclear fuel cladding alloys is one of the most significant contributors to its degradation during long-term storage. The goal of this work was to perform a detailed study of ...

Chang, Zilong (2016-12-06)With the early e - p deep inelastic scattering (DIS) measurements and the development of Quantum Chromo-dynamics (QCD), the proton is revealed to be not just composed of the three quarks, u, u, and d, that give its quantum ...

Long-Range Pseudorapidity Correlations at High pT in sqrt(S_NN) = 200 GeV Au+Au Collisions with STAR Codrington, Martin John Michael (2012-10-19)The Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) is a form of matter in which quarks and gluons are deconfined, and was suggested to be formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Since the discovery of high-pT hadron suppression in central ...

Musser, James Raymond (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The TWIST Collaboration has measured the Michel parameter rho in normal muon decay,u+ -> e+VeVu. In the standard model of particle physics,rho = 3/4. Deviations from this value require mixing of left- and right-handed muon ...

Chyzh, Roman (2019-08-06)One of the most challenging problems in nuclear astrophysics is answering a question about the origin and abundance of elements. There are numerous sites in the Universe where new elements can be created. In this particular ...

Langlett, Christopher Michael (2023-03-14)Statistical mechanics relies on relaxation towards the maximally entropic state in thermal equilibrium. The emergence of statistical mechanics in such systems, known as quantum thermalization, proceeds by the relaxation ...
-
Henry, Thomas William (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)The STAR collaboration recorded s =200 GeV per nucleon d+Au and p+p collision events during the year 2003 RHIC run. In the p+p and the d+Au data samples, it is possible to reconstruct jets and make comparisons between them. ...

Anderson, Derek Murphy (2022-04-21)The collision of relativistic heavy-ion such as the AuAu-collisions studied at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider produce a hot, dense medium with properties consistent with that of a state of matter in which quarks and ...

Holt, Nathan Prescott Montgomery (2016-05-26)In this work, we examine properties of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at moderate temperatures and density. These conditions are reached in the later stages of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions after the matter has ...
