(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)We use astrophysical data to shed light on fundamental physics by constraining parametrized theoretical cosmological and gravitational models. Gravitational parameters are those constants that parametrize possible departures ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)In this thesis we use gravitational lensing statistics to constrain the QSO luminosity function at a variety of redshifts. We present a theoretical discussion of gravitational lensing statistics and illustrate how high ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis describes all aspects of a unique spectroscopic survey for strong galaxy-galaxy gravitational lenses: motivation, candidate selection, ground-based spectroscopic follow-up, Hubble Space Telescope imaging, data ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Arbitrary admixtures of amplitude and phase modulated light can be used to generate linear, null-crossing error signals for locking Fabry-Perot cavities that are detuned from resonance by arbitrary amounts. Unfortunately, ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)It is currently well-known how to lock an optical cavity on resonance using the Pound- Drever-Hall technique. It is also possible to lock a cavity at a single detuned length using an amplitude modulated laser beam. However, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Exploring the forces that drive evolution at the gene network level and investigating underlying principles behind this process are fundamental questions in the context of understanding how evolution shapes transcriptional ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1943)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Most of the young stars in the Orion Trapezium Cluster are much more peculiar in X-rays than expected, considering their structure, environment, and age. Highly resolved X-ray spectra provide many more details in order to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)This thesis makes predictions for the temperature anisotropy spectrum of the CMB under the supernatural inflation model class [17] and compares these predictions against the Boomerang 98 data [5], using the Lange et. al ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The AMS-01 detector measured charged cosmic rays during 10 days on the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1998 and collected 108 events. By identifying 8349 Lithium and 22709 Carbon nuclei from the raw data, this thesis presents ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In this thesis, I designed and constructed a basic Cerenkov detector to measure the energy spectrum of cosmic ray muons for use in the graduate experimental physics courses, 8.811/2. The apparatus consists of a light-tight ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In this thesis, I present a new determination of the cluster mass function in a volume ~107 h-03 70 Mpc3 using the ROSAT-2MASS-FAST Group Survey (R2FGS). R2FGS is an X-ray-selected sample of systems from the ROSAT All-Sky ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)In this thesis, we are investigating cosmological implications of hidden sector models which involve scalar fields that do not interact with the Standard Model gauge interactions, but couple directly to the Higgs field. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Clusters of galaxies have become an important cosmological tool, yet we do not un-erstand many aspects of their formation and development. In this thesis, I pursue two projects aimed at using clusters to constrain cosmology ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)We use the composite fermion approach for theoretical studies of the Coulomb drag between two parallel layers of two-dimensional electron gases in the quantum Hall regime near Landau level filling fraction v = 1/2. Within ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1951)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)In this dissertation, we present the results of a time-dependent angular analysis of Bs -+ J/,0 decays performed with the use of initial-state flavor tagging. CP violation is observed in this mode through the interference ...
