(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)We demonstrate the use of a focused ultraviolet laser as a track calibration source in drift chambers, and specifically in a small time projection chamber (TPC). Drift chambers such as TPCs reconstruct the trajectories of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)I describe the detection of 201 highly significant dips in the count rate of Sco X-1 from a search of some 500 ks of archival RXTE PCA data, which could be caused by TNO occultations. I show that most of these dips are ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)This thesis explores the use of correlation matrices in analyzing Monte Carlo calculations from lattice quantum chromodynamics. Correlation matrices are a powerful tool for examining many problems in which significant ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The building of a muon collider is motivated by the desire to collide point-like particles while reducing the limitations imposed by synchrotron radiation. The many challenges unique to muon accelerators are derived from ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The goal of ski racing is to pass through a series of gates as quickly as possible. There are many paths from gate to gate, but there is only one path that is fastest. By knowing what the fastest path is, a racer could ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)We develop a technique for measuring cosmological parameters ([omega]M and w) using gravitational lens geometry, source and lens redshifts, and the velocity dispersion of the lensing galaxy. This technique makes use of the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis project was to write a program in C++ that solves electromagnetic scattering problems for arbitrarily shaped scatterers. This was implemented by using a surface integral formulation of Maxwell's equations, which ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Plasma confinement experiments continue to uncover fascinating phenomena that motivate theoretical discussion and exploration. In this thesis, we consider the phenomenon of angular momentum transport in magnetically confined ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)In this dissertation, I describe the design and construction of a system which can transfer electric power wirelessly. This is accomplished using inductive, near-field, non-radiative coupling between self-resonant copper ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In this thesis, I investigated the effectiveness of a Wolter Type I neutron microscope as a focusing and imaging device for thermal and cold neutrons sources by simulating the performance of the optics in a standard neutron ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The X-ray intensities measured from 230 X-ray sources observed by the RXTE All-Sky Monitor (ASM) were analyzed for periodic behavior. The ASM has been observing sources for nine years in the 1.5-12 keV energy range. In ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The power density spectrum is an essential tool for determining the frequency content of X-ray radiation from astronomical sources. For neutron star systems, power density spectra reveal coherent oscillations for those ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)We examine the effects of zero sound wave excitations of charged fermion species living around the charged black hole of an AdS/CFT spacetime. In particular, we show that these bulk modes cause corresponding singularities ...
