(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis details the motivation, design, construction, and testing of the Gamma Intensity Monitor (GIM) for the Crystal-Barrel-Experiment at the Universität Bonn. The CB-ELSA collaboration studies the baryon excitation ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The gas electron multiplier (GEM) is a novel charge amplification element for use in gaseous particle detectors. Because of their high gain ([approx.] 10⁵ when cascaded) and ability to withstand harsh radiation conditions, ...

Generation of fiber-coupled, nondegenerate, polarization-entangled photons for quantum communication (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The production of polarization-entangled photon pairs from spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) enables many applications of quantum information processing. In this thesis, we use type-0 phase-matched downconversion ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Black holes and compact objects are often surrounded by structures known as accretion disks which consist of ionized plasma. Due to the immense forces present in the disk, interesting and complex magnetic field structures ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)In this thesis, I studied the lensed quasar CX2201-3201, which is lensed by an edge-on spiral galaxy. The unusually high tilt of the spiral galaxy provides us with a rare opportunity for mass modeling. In addition, the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)As gravitational lensing is susceptible to all gravitating matter-both baryonic and dark-it provides a potentially clean way to study the mass distribution of galaxy clusters. We are particularly interested in the substructure ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)An important subject in current gravity research concerns the evolution of compact binary systems in which both members spin, particularly in the extreme mass ratio limit. Previous research has suggested that the effect ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The properties of a frustrated quantum antiferromagnet are interesting topics in condensed matter theory. Among the quantum antiferromagnets, Cs₂CuCl₄ gains attention as one of the candidates for materials with ground state ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The study of B meson decays to 3 pseudoscalar mesons MMM provides a promising arena for constraining CP violation from the Standard Model and searching for "new physics". In this thesis we derive decay amplitudes, rates, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Two low-noise, high quantum efficiency, high bandwidth photodetectors have constructed to form a balanced homodyne detector to detect squeezed light. The detectors have quantum efficiencies of 85% and 90%, a bandwidth of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a network of long-arm interferometers designed to directly measure gravitational-wave strain. Direct observation of gravitational waves would provide a test ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)GRS 1915+105 is an accreting black-hole in a binary system located in the Milky Way. It is one of the most variable X-ray sources known, and 12 variability classifications have been defined, many of which appear to be ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Orbits around black holes evolve due to gravitational-wave emission, losing energy and angular momentum, and driving the orbiting body to slowly spiral into the black hole. Recent theoretical advances now make it possible ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Holography is a novel approach to modeling strongly interacting many-body systems. By reorganizing the quantum many-body problem into an equivalent problem in classical gravity, holography makes it relatively easy, for ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In this thesis, I explore aspects of a new jet shape - N-subjettiness - designed to identify boosted hadronically-decaying objects (with a particular focus on tagging top quarks) at particle accelerators such as the Large ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)In this thesis, I design and construct a Monte-Carlo gravitational lensing simulation that statistically studies the strong lensing of extended galactic sources by dark matter distributions in galaxy clusters, using recent ...
