(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Recent work in astrophysics has show that most of the matter in the universe is non-luminous. This work investigates two searches for non-luminous matter: hot dark matter formed from cosmic relic neutrinos from the Big ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Introduction: Core collapse supernova are one of the most intriguing astrophysical phenomena. The dying stage of a supergiant star, they occur when the star collapses into a protoneutron star, causing a shock wave and a ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1960)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The log of all interactions the student makes with an online homework tutor (MasteringPhysics), including start time, finish time, correct answers, wrong answers, and hints requested allowed the development of an algorithm ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Astrophysical and cosmological measurements on the scales of galaxies, galaxy clusters, and the universe indicate that ~85% of the matter in the universe is composed of dark matter, made up of non-baryonic particles that ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In this thesis, a muon telescope is setup in order to measure the zenith angular distribution of cosmic ray muons at sea level. The setup consists of two long scintillator counters with double-ended readout. Previous ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The effective thickness of a liquid deuterium target was determined by measuring the yield of the neutron-deuteron elastic scattering cross section. The flux of incident neutrons was determined by a fission ionization ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Fitting the X-ray spectra of thermal radiation from neutron stars with realistic atmosphere models provides a way to place constraints on their radii, surface gravities and compositions, and to test general relativity in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)There is growing scientific agreement that at least some cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) coincide with the deaths of rapidly rotating massive stars - dubbed "hyper-novae." In 1987, a supernova (SN 1987A) was detected in the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the plausibility of developing a low current plasmatron fuel reformer that utilizes magnetic fields to hydrodynamically induce spin of the arc discharge. The proof of principle, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)In this thesis, I present a beamline system designed and built at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) to measure the reflectivity and resolution of small diameter multilayer coated Wolter optics. These ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)This thesis presents my work on the design and development of a source of polarized Helium-3 ions for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Lab, Upton, NY. The 3He atoms will be polarized using the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1937)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)A detailed theoretical and experimental study of techniques necessary for quantum-enhanced laser- interferometric gravitational wave (GW) detectors was carried out. The basic theory of GWs and laser-interferometric GW ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The differential cross section for the quasielastic d(n,np) neutron-induced deuteron breakup reaction was measured as a function of incident and scattered particle energies and angles, using a liquid deuterium target at ...
