(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The search for and the study of flavor oscillations in the neutral B,B, meson system is an experimentally challenging endeavor. This constitutes a flagship analysis of the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider physics program. ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)This Thesis considers the scenario in which an extra-solar planet (exoplanet) passes in front of its star relative to our observing perspective. In this event, the light curve measured for the host star features a systematic ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In this thesis, publically available data from the French/ESA satellite mission CoRoT, designed to seek out extrasolar planets, was analyzed using MATLAB. CoRoT attempts to observe the transits of these planets across their ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Nuclear structure and the underlying internucleon (NN) interaction are central to the understanding of how nucleons interact. However, despite decades of research, Quantum Chromodynamics, which governs the interactions of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Over the last several years the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) has been making steady progress in improving the sensitivities of its three interferometers, two in Hanford, Washington, and one ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)N = 1 theories whose matrix model spectral curve develops Argyres-Douglas singularities are constructed. The large N expansion breaks down at the critical points with domain wall tensions scaling as a fractional power of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The current analysis of the MITR core radioactivity inventory eliminates unnecessary assumptions made in previous estimates of the inventory, and revises the list of contributory isotopes to include all actinide and fission ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The locomotory behavior of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is often characterized by two distinct gaits - swimming when in fluids and crawling when on surfaces. Swimming is characterized by about a twice greater ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1903)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Open string field theory provides an action functional for open string fields, and it is thus a manifestly off-shell formulation of open string theory. The solutions to the equation of motion of open string field theory ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1966)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Photonic crystals are recently discovered meta-materials whose optical properties arise from periodic refractive index variations. In this thesis I examine various aspects of photonic crystals including a self-assembled ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)In 2000, a composite material was fabricated in the gigahertz range that appeared to exhibit simultaneously negative values of permittivity and permeability. Such substances were known as "left-handed materials," and had ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Neutron scattering, magnetization and transport measurements were performed on single crystals of Bi2Sr2CoO6+[delta] to study the evolution of the magnetic properties as a function of the oxygen content . The oxygen content ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Quantum mechanics has led not only to new physical theories, but also a new understanding of information and computation. Quantum information not only yields new methods for achieving classical tasks such as factoring and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Using cesium atoms weakly coupled to a low-finesse cavity, we have generated photon pairs that are highly correlated in a non-classical way, as demonstrated by a large violation of the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality G = 760 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this thesis, I show some of the results of my research work in the field at the crossing between Cosmology and Particle Physics. The Cosmology of several models of the Physics Beyond the Standard Model is studied. These ...
