Simulations of Nano-Structures in Time Dependent External Fields
(Vanderbilt University. Department of Physics and Astronomy, 2013-04-22)
Time Dependent Density Functional Theory is used to probe the
structure of matter. Coulomb explosion of small hydrocarbons driven by
strong laser pulses and electron holography of molecules are studied
in a theoretical ...
An anomalous measurement of delta m31 squared from neutrino oscillations at the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment
(Vanderbilt University. Department of Physics and Astronomy, 2013-04-22)
In 2012, the collaboration overseeing the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino
Experiment announced results which determined the magnitude of the mixing
angle \theta_{13} with unprecedented precision. However, no attempt was made
in ...
High-energy attosecond-width electron diffraction simulations
(Vanderbilt University. Department of Physics and Astronomy, 2013-04-22)
Electron microscopy has been the recent subject of molecular imaging
due to the strength of the electrons' interaction with the target
molecule making for a detailed pattern at a small scale.[1] To achieve
the best 4D ...
Simulation and optimization of pulsed Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer for clinical application at 3T
(Vanderbilt University. Deptartment of Physics and Astronomy, 2013-04-22)
Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) is often overlooked as a method
for the investigation of metabolites in vivo due to the time required to
obtain a full spectrum. We investigated the feasibility and optimization ...
Structure function analysis of blazars AP Librae and 3c279
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, 2008-04-27)
Blazars AP Librae and 3c279 are analyzed for microvariability using a technique known as structure function analysis. AP Librae was observed in April
of 2005 and 3c279 was observed in April of 2007. The data for AP Librae ...
Developing High-Brightness Electron Beam Sources for Producing Quantum Degenerate Electron Beams
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)
The Pauli Exclusion Principle places a fundamental limit on the brightness
of an electron beam. Developing a cathode which can reach this limit is
useful for achieving maximum operation in current applications of ...
A web-based application of the Cellular Force Inference Toolkit (CellFIT)
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2019-04-18)
Given an image of an epithelial cell sheet, CellFIT can infer cellular forces by segmenting the image into individual cells, constructing equilibrium equations for the points where cells meet at triple junctions, and finding ...
Probing Heavy Spin-2 Bosons with γγ final states from Vector Boson Fusion Processes at the LHC
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2019)
New massive spin-2 particles are predicted in theoretical extensions to the Standard Model (SM) attempting to solve the hierarchy problem. Such theories postulate that gravity is diluted compared to the other fundamental ...
Axionlike Dark Energy and Particle Decay in theFuture of the Accelerating Universe
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2021-04-30)
The 1998 discovery that the universe was accelerating in its expansion has yet to be explained
theoretically, meriting the continual theoretical and observational study of this phenomena.
In this thesis, we undergo a ...
Analytic Solutions of Two Electrons in Harmonic Confinement in an Optical Cavity
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2021-12)
The possibility to control quantum systems with photons has stimulated
recent interest in the study of quantum optical systems. While
simple classical quantum systems admit well-known solutions, analysis
of light-coupling ...
