(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)A measurement of standard model Higgs pair production in [beta][beta][tau][tau] final states at the High Luminosity LHC is investigated. Higgs pair production can be used to measure the Higgs trilinear coupling constant, ...
-
(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, 2014)This thesis discusses recent experimental work in measuring the properties of higher levels in transmon qubit systems. The first part includes a thorough overview of transmon devices, explaining the principles of the device ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is a valuable tool which can be used to enhance nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal intensities in a variety of biological and materials science systems, by transferring polarization ...
-
(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, 2015)This thesis describes physical background and an experimental realization of a bulk diamond magnetic field and temperature sensor. The sensing is done using continuous-wave electron-spin resonance spectra of nitrogen-vacancy ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The nature and behavior of electronic states in high temperature superconductors are the center of much debate. The pseudogap state, observed above the superconducting transition temperature Tc, is seen by some as a precursor ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In this thesis, I designed and implemented a particle-in-cell (PIC) code on a graphical processing unit (GPU) using NVIDA's Compute Unified Architecture (CUDA). The massively parallel nature of computing on a GPU nessecitated ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Many Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) experiments use solid-state nuclear track detector CR-39 as a means to detect different types of nuclear products. Until recently, it was difficult to use CR-39 in experiments with ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)A series of incoherent scatter radar (ISR) observation were conducted at the Arecibo Observatory from December 27, 2005 until January 3, 2006. From plasma line measurements that were taken during this radar campaign, we ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Infrared (IR) thermal detectors and photodetectors have significant applications including thermal imaging, infrared spectroscopy and chemical and biological sensing. In this work we focus on photodetectors, which typically ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The Standard Model of particle physics predicts the existence of the "Unitary Triangle," which graphically relates the matrix elements of the Cabbibo Kobayashi Maskawa matrix and describes the strength of transformations ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Energy levels of the valence electron of a single trapped ⁸⁸Sr+ ion can be harnessed as an effective qubit for quantum information processing. The qubit transition to a metastable energy state can be stimulated by a laser ...
