Searches for the Resonant Production of ZH/ZW/ZZ Pairs in the llqq Final State in Proton-Proton Collisions at s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS Detector
(2018)
Searches are presented for heavy resonances decaying into a Z boson and another boson (a W boson, a Z boson, or a heavy Higgs boson H) using data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data ...
Multi-Wavelength Facets of Galaxy Clusters
(2018)
Cluster cosmology, as investigated by the number counts method, is deeply linked to the constituent properties of our Universe and small-scale astrophysical phenomena. In the number counts method, a key challenge is relating ...
Probing Heat Transport and Energy Conversion at the Atomic and Single Molecule Scale
(2018)
The study of heat transport and energy conversion constitutes an important subject in modern physics and engineering research. The widely-applied Fourier’s and Planck’s laws have proven to be very useful to describe heat ...
Theory and Application of Autoproducts
(2018)
Acoustics is a branch of physics largely governed by linear field equations. Linearity carries with it the implication that only the frequencies broadcast by acoustic sources can be measured in the surrounding acoustic ...
Raman Studies of Surface Phonons in the Topological Insulators Bi2Se3 and Bi2Te3
(2018)
Temperature- and wavelength- dependent Raman studies of the topological insulators Bi2Se3 and Bi2Te3 are presented. At low temperatures and in the A symmetry scattering channel, we observe additional weak modes which we ...
Exploring Drug Bioaccumulation and Stabilization with Respect to Endolysosomal Ion Homeostasis Using a Systems-Based Mathematical Modeling Approach
(2018)
Even though most of the FDA approved drugs currently out in the market and in the process of development are weakly basic drugs, the bioaccumulation and stabilization of these drugs are not well understood. For this purpose, ...
Efficient Algorithms for Light Transmission, Focusing and Scattering Matrix Retrieval in Highly Diffusive 3D Random Media
(2018)
Wavefront shaping provides an increasingly appealing avenue for imaging and other applications that require controlling electromagnetic waves passing through complex and disordered media. Indeed, these techniques allow ...
Surface Dimer Engineering and Properties of GaAs(N)(Bi) Alloys
(2018)
Due to the significant bandgap narrowing induced by dilute fractions of N and Bi in III-V semiconductors, emerging dilute nitride-bismide semiconductor alloys are of significant interest for long-wavelength applications ...
Optical Measurements of Spin/Valley Polarization in Transition Metal Dichalcogenides
(2018)
Finding a fundamentally novel way to generate and store information is one of the most critical topics in semiconductor research during the past several decades. Spin electronics (spintronics), using the spin degree of ...
Search for New Resonances and Dark Matter Particles with BSM Higgs Boson Productions at the LHC
(2018)
This dissertation presents searches for dark matter particles and new resonances at the LHC with the ATLAS experiment. The data used in these analyses are produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of ...
