(2017-04-06)Department: PhysicsStrontium iodide doped with europium (SrI2:Eu2+) is a new scintillator being developed for use in high-energy astrophysical detectors with excellent energy resolution. Nonproportionality is the primary limiting factor to ...
-
(2015-04-02)Department: PhysicsMapping the forces responsible for morphogenetic movements in embryonic Drosophila melanogaster, or the fruit fly, is the focus of this thesis, specifically studying cellular pulsations and laser ablation wounds in the ...
-
(2007-05-30)Department: PhysicsOver 300,000 deaths in the United States each year are caused by sudden cardiac death. The most common cause of sudden cardiac death is ventricular fibrillation. Once initiated, ventricular fibrillation in humans almost ...

(2013-04-09)Department: PhysicsExperiments measuring the energy and coincidences associated with gamma rays from nuclei produced in fission have been performed. These experiments probed the physics of deformation as infered from nuclear spectroscopy. ...
-
(2015-07-07)Department: PhysicsEnvironmental perturbations can disrupt development by altering both the molecular dynamics as well as tissue- and cell-level mechanics. Specifically, a heat shock administered in early Drosophila embryogenesis can result ...
-
(2003-04-15)Department: PhysicsThe studies described in this work take advantage of a unique infrared light source that allowed the exploration of previously uninvestigated vibrational modes and excitation densities, plus other laser systems that allowed ...
-
(2008-10-21)Department: PhysicsLarge-volume (bulk) vanadium dioxide (VO2) is an unusual material that undergoes a critical transition from insulating-like to metal-like when the temperature is raised above approximately 67 °C. This thesis describes ...
-
(2019-07-18)Department: PhysicsThe structure of the Standard Model provides many hints of new physics at energies above the electroweak scale. In particular, the mass hierarchy and mixing patterns between particles of different flavor are suggestive of ...
-
(2016-07-23)Department: PhysicsThis thesis covers two distinct topics: integral dispersion relations (IDRs) and ultra high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) anisotropy. Many models of electroweak symmetry breaking predict new physics scales near LHC energies. ...
