(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Inflation is a substantial modification to the big bang theory, and supernatural inflation is a hybrid inflation motivated from supersymmetry. In this thesis we carry out a one dimensional numerical simulation to verify ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)A 4-channel microwave interferometer (center frequency: 60 GHz) has been constructed to measure the density profiles of plasmas confined within the Levitated Dipole Experiment (LDX). LDX is the first and only experiment ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This thesis describes the design and construction of two laser systems to probe the 674nm transition of ⁸⁸Sr⁺ ions in a linear Paul trap. The first laser system made use of a molecular transition in Iodine to stabilize the ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)An extrasolar planet discovered around one of the brightest stars in the sky would be a prime target for follow-on observing and characterization, especially if the planet were within the star's habitable-zone. The brightest ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In this thesis, we designed and tested a calibration and deployment system for the MiniCLEAN dark matter detector. The deployment system uses a computer controlled winch to lower a canister containing a neutron source into ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)This work presents an analysis of thermal self-propulsion behavior in nanoparticles using several recent advancements in the field of nonequilibrium Casimir physics. We compute fundamental limits on the thermal power ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) are useful structures for the implementation of wavelength division multiplexing. The AWG consists of an input splitter, a dispersive waveguide array which creates the wavelength demultiplexing ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)In this thesis the jet fragmentation function of inclusive jets with transverse momentum PT > 100 GeV/c in PbPb collisions is measured for reconstructed charged particles with PT > 1 GeV/c within the jet cone. A data sample ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Dynamical tidal effects impact the orbital motion of extended bodies, imprinting themselves in several measurable ways. This thesis explores the saturation of weakly nonlinear dynamical tidal interactions within two very ...

(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 ...
