Transverse Single-Spin Asymmetries of Midrapidity Direct Photons, Neutral Pions, and Eta Mesons in 200 GeV Polarized Proton-Proton Collisions at PHENIX
(2020)
Experimental observations of strikingly large transverse single-spin asymmetries (TSSAs) opened a window into quark and gluon dynamics present in hadronic collisions, revealing large spin-momentum correlations within ...
The Effects of Disruption of Synaptic Signaling on Neuronal Networks
(2020)
The brain is an organ that acts as the conductor of an orchestra – it governs all vital body functions and assures that all organs operate in harmony. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in various tasks such as memory ...
Physics with Same-sign Dilepton and Multilepton Events
(2020)
The Higgs boson was observed in 2012, completing the last missing piece in the Standard Model. While research that culminated with the LHC has established the Standard Model as a successful theory, there are still many ...
The Twin-Probe Method: Improving the Accuracy of Langmuir Probes on Small Spacecraft
(2020)
A Langmuir probe (LP) is a versatile and effective in-situ space plasma instrument for measuring ion and electron densities, and electron temperatures. However, utilizing LPs on very small spacecraft presents challenges ...
Phase-Matched Emission from Rydberg Atoms Confined in a State-Insensitive Trap: Long-Lived Coherence, Hyperfine Level Measurements, and Hanbury Brown-Twiss Interference
(2020)
Rydberg ensembles have many diverse and important applications for quantum information and quantum optics. For example, Rydberg ensembles can generate non-classical states of light which would be useful in a quantum network, ...
Large-Scale Simulations of Complex Turbulent Flows: Modulation of Turbulent Boundary Layer Separation and Optimization of Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Next-Generation HPC Platforms
(2020)
The separation of spatially evolving turbulent boundary layer flow near regions of adverse pressure gradients has been the subject of numerous studies in the context of flow control. Although many studies have demonstrated ...
Measuring Higgs Boson Couplings, including to the Top Quark, in the Diphoton Decay Channel with Run 2 Data Collected by the ATLAS Detector
(2020)
This work presents the measurement of Higgs boson couplings through the Higgs boson to diphoton decay ($H rightarrow gamma gamma$) channel using pp collision data with a center-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}=13$~TeV recorded ...
The Physical Basis of Morphogenesis: Shaping and Patterning of Tissues via Cell-Cell Forces
(2020)
Somehow, a fertilized egg develops into a multicellular organism with several organs that perform distinct functions. Much research regarding the development of multi-cellular organisms is chemical in nature: from networks ...
Thermoelectric Stability of Cu2Se and Magnetic Phenomena in (Ti, Zr, Hf)NiSn Half-Heusler Alloys
(2020)
Vast amounts of heat are emitted by industrial factories, automobiles and geologic formations. To convert the abundance of heat into usable electricity, stable thermoelectric materials with high conversion efficiencies (or ...
Computational Methods for Understanding Dynamics in Mass Transport and Tissue Development
(2020)
Elucidating the process by which a biological system evolves and properly identifying hidden states and influential underlying factors are important for studying biological functions and origins of diseases. However, due ...
