(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)CF4 gas is useful in many applications, especially as a drift gas in particle detection chambers. In order to make accurate measurements of incident particles the properties of the drift gas must be well understood. An ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)A Lower Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD) system has been implemented on Alcator C-Mod with successful coupling to the plasma of up to 1 MW of power. Nearly fully non-inductive current drive has been achieved for several current ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)(cont.) coefficients, and these were compared to the "effective" coefficients yielded by the former. Because scattering from a nematic domain is limited to a narrow azimuthal range, while an isotropic domain scatters ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Ion traps provide an excellent tool for controlling and observing the state of a single trapped ion. For this reason, ion traps have been proposed as a possible system for large-scale quantum computation. However, many ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Inflation is a paradigm for the physics of the early universe, and it has received a great deal of experimental support. Essentially all inflationary models lead to a regime called eternal inflation, a situation where ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis describes progress in the use of optical traps for measurement of acoustic fields, a first step toward acoustic micromanipulation in fluids. The optical trap used throughout this study is carefully characterized. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Two experiments are presented which measure atomic properties using an atom interferometer. The interferometer splits the sodium de Broglie wave into two paths, one of which travels through an interaction region. The paths ...

Measuring decoherence and the matter-wave index of refraction with an improved atom interferometer (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)This thesis describes experiments performed using the MIT atom interferometer, which has recently been upgraded to provide increased experimental precision and flexibility. The three-gratings comprising our Mach-Zehnder ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Layered copper/niobium (Cu/Nb) composites with small layer widths contain a high area per unit volume of solid-state interfaces. Interfaces have their own elasticity tensor, which affects the elastic properties of the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)This study evaluates the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment's ability to characterize Higgs self-coupling through the ... channel. The effective cross-section for detecting ... events is computed by finding the fraction ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)OLYMPUS is a particle physics experiment that collected data in 2012 at DESY, in Hamburg, Germany, on the asymmetry between positron-proton and electron-proton elastic scattering cross sections. A non-zero asymmetry is ...
