(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)An upgraded phase contrast imaging (PCI) diagnostic is used to study turbulence and transport in Alcator C-Mod. The upgraded PCI system is capable of measuring density fluctuations with high temporal (2 kHz-5 MHz) and ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this thesis we will explore three approaches to aspects of the fundamental structure of string theory. We first provide a brief review of perturbative string theory, and briefly discuss how each of the three topics to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis concerns two classes of photonic crystal that differ from the usual solid-state dielectric photonic crystals studied in optical physics. The first class of unconventional photonic crystal consists of atoms bound ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)This thesis describes the demonstration of a new technique that allows masses to be compared with fractional uncertainty at or below 1 x 10-11, an order of magnitude improvement over our previous results. By confining two ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)We have improved the ability to compare the masses of single ions by an order of magnitude to a fractional accuracy of [approx.] 7 x 10-12. This is done by simultaneously confining two ions in a Penning trap, and simultaneously ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)We pose two key questions about color superconductivity: What are the effects of the large strange quark mass, and what are the observable consequences of color superconductivity? Motivated by the first question, we study ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)We will discuss two methods by which the formalism of quantum field theory can be included in calculating the physical effects of gravitation. In the first of these, the consequences of treating general relativity as an ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This thesis describes the design, construction, and testing of a new source of entanglement. The goal is to produce pairs of photons which are not only polarization-entangled, but also have a high brightness within a narrow ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The thesis presents results from experiments in which ultracold Sodium-6 and Lithium-23 atomic gases were studied near a Feshbach resonance at high magnetic fields. The enhanced interactions between atoms in the presence ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The products of interactions between galaxies with a high mass ratio and low orbital angular momentum are studied. The interactions scatter the material from the smaller galaxy into structures with distinctive dynamics and ...

Upper limits for galactic transient sources of gravitational radiation from LIGO first observations (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)A complete, scalable prototype analysis system for the observation of gravitational wave bursts with a network of interferometric detectors is designed and tested. This system detects localized transients in the gravitational ...
