(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Measurements of two-particle angular correlations between unidentified charged particles and [phi]-mesons are shown over a wide pseudorapidity range ([delta] [eta] < 2) in pPb collisions. The data, collected during 2013 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)For most of its 60 year history, the Casimir effect was an obscure theoretical backwater, but technological advances over the past decade have promoted this curious manifestation of quantum and thermal fluctuations to a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)We present theoretical and numerical methods for studying Casimir forces and nonlinear frequency conversion in nanophotonic media consisting of arbitrary geometries and materials. The first section of the thesis focuses ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)In this thesis, we investigate the implications of fluctuations in systems away, possibly even far, from equilibrium due to their motion either in or out of thermal equilibrium. This subject encompasses several topics in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Ultracold atoms enable the precise study of novel systems where the correlations between particles are strong. These systems can be simple to describe yet impossible to efficiently simulate on a classical computer; ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)In this thesis we formulate an effective field theory for nonlinear dissipative fluid dynamics. The formalism incorporates an action principle for the classical equations of motion as well as a systematic approach to thermal ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 completed the particle content of the Standard Model, but brought into sharp relief two outstanding problems: why is the Higgs so light, and what is the identity of 80% of the matter ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)In this thesis, I discuss the Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation, the Higgs mechanism, and the relevance of these two theories to the bridging of cosmology and particle physics. Although the former theory is in the field ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)This thesis presents two different formalisms which can be used together to evolve a density perturbation produced during inflation forwards in time in the radiation-dominated era of the early universe. The first formalism, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)The formation and decay of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in atomic hydrogen is studied. Magnetically trapped hydrogen atoms were evaporatively cooled close to the onset of Bose-Einstein condensation and then suddenly ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The massive stellar progenitor of a hypernova explosion and an associated gamma-ray burst must satisfy two primary constraints: (1) the outer layers of the stellar core must possess sufficient angular momentum to form a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Insights into a distant exoplanet's interior are possible given a synergy between models and observations. Spectral observations of a star's radial velocity wobble induced by an orbiting planet's gravitational pull measure ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)For my thesis, I worked towards using two reference cavities to provide frequency stabilization to a 486nm dye-ring laser. After a doubling cavity doubles the frequency to 243nm, the laser beam is used to excite ground ...
