Search For Standard Model Higgs In Two Photon Final State At Atlas
(Physics, 2010-11-01)
The Standard Model of particle physics describes very precisely the nuclear strong and weak forces and the eletromagnetic interaction, by the exchange of vector bosons. It also describes all matter as composed of quarks ...
Synthesis And Characterization Of Lanthanide Based Nanomaterials For Radiation Detection And Biomedical Applications
(Physics, 2011-10-11)
Lanthanide based nanomaterials have shown a great potential in various areas such as luminescence imaging, luminescent labels, and detection of cellular functions. Due to the f-f transitions of the metal ion, luminescence ...
Defect Studies In Cu-based P-type Transparent conducting Oxides
(Physics, 2012-07-25)
Among other intrinsic open-volume defects, copper vacancy (VCu) has been theoretically identified as the major acceptor in p-type Cu-based semiconducting transparent oxides, which has potential as low-cost photovoltaic ...
The Role Of The Y-component Of The Interplanetary Magnetic Field In Transpolar Saturation And Ring Current Response As Found In Data And Simulation
(Physics, 2010-07-19)
Energy is transferred into the magnetosphere of Earth through merging of magnetic fields (Dungey cycle and lobe cell convection) and through momentum transfer across the magnetopause (viscous interactions). These processes ...
Investigations In The Impact Of Visual Cognition And Spatial Ability Of Student Comprehension Of Physics And Space Science
(Physics, 2011-07-14)
Physics and Space Science examine topics that are highly spatial in nature. Students are required to visualize a system, manipulate that system, and then solve a given problem. Doing all of this, simultaneously, can lead ...
A Study Of The Viscous Interaction Between The Solar Wind And Earth's Magnetosphere Using An MHD Simulation
(Physics, 2012-07-25)
The solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetosphere largely through magnetic reconnection and a “viscous-like” interaction that is not fully understood. The ionospheric cross-polar cap potential (ΦPC) component due to ...
Interaction Of The Geomagnetic Field With Northward Interplanetary Magnetic Field
(Physics, 2013-07-22)
The interaction of the solar wind with Earth's magnetic field causes the transfer of momentum and energy from the solar wind to geospace. The study of this interaction is gaining significance as our society is becoming ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Nanocomposite Scintillators for Radiation Detection
(2016-05-11)
Inorganic single crystal and organic (plastic and liquid) scintillators are commonly used for radiation detection. Inorganic single crystals are efficient and have better energy resolution compared to organic scintillators. ...
LOW DIMENSIONAL SEMICONDUCTING NANOSTRUCTURES: STABILITY, TRENDS AND PROMISES
(2016-05-10)
Systematic studies of low dimensional semiconducting nanostructures have been performed. In particular, silicon-germanium (SiGe) armchair type nanotubes, and both zigzag and armchair type nanoribbons were used to represent ...
A DETAILED CHANDRA X-RAY STUDY OF THE GALACTIC CORE-COLLAPSE SUPERNOVA REMNANT G292.0+1.8
(2018-09-10)
In this thesis, we describe our detailed analysis of the core-collapse supernova remnant (CCSNR) G292.0+1.8 (G292 hereafter) using data collected by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory (Chandra). In the first part of this ...
