(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Nanoscale structures present both unique physics and unique theoretical challenges. Atomic-scale simulations can find novel nanostructures with desirable properties, but the search can be difficult if the wide range of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)In this paper we discuss the construction of a narrow frequency-band laser with optical feedback. We use a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) laser diode centered at the cesium D₂ transition wavelength, [gamma] = 852 nm. ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis develops a system for adaptively and automatically learning to interpret patterns of electrical activity in neuronal populations in a real-time, on-line fashion. The system is primarily intended to enable the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)One of the primary goals of the spin physics program at the STAR experiment is to constrain the polarized gluon distribution function, [delta]g(X,Q²), by measuring the double longitudinal spin asymmetry, ALL, of various ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Quasielastic scattering and deuteron breakup in the 200 MeV region is studied by impinging a pulsed neutron beam on a deuterium target at the Weapons Neutron Research facility at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The differential cross section for neutron-deuteron elastic scattering was measured at six angles over the center-of-mass angular range 65⁰ - 1300⁰ and incident neutron energies 140 - 240 MeV at the LANSCE/WNR facility of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The nucleon elastic electromagnetic form factors are fundamental quantities needed for an understanding of nucleon and nuclear electromagnetic structure. The evolution of the Sachs electric and magnetic form factors with ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)(cont.) The former represents a continuous planar rotational symmetry corresponding to the SO(2) symmetry, while the latter is a discrete symmetry associated with the Z2 symmetry. Depending on which measurements are ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)In this thesis we designed and began the fabrication of three new solid state sensors for the detection of DNA hybridization through electrical measurements. The first sensor is a surface acoustic wave device with tapered ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)This thesis describes four new optical surveys for gravitationally lensed quasars. The goal of this work has been to (1) explore new strategies for conducting optical surveys, especially in the southern hemisphere, in the ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)We use a sample of 53 elliptical galaxies which are lensing background emission-line galaxies and have been observed by the SLACS collaboration using HST and SDSS to place constraints on the post-Newtonian parameter 7 and ...
