(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, 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, 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, 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, 2002)A gridded energy analyzer (GEA) diagnostic and associated electronics are designed and built to explore the evolution of the ion distribution function during driven magnetic reconnection in the Versatile Toroidal Facility. ...
