| dc.description.abstract | Under the broad topic of scattering, in this thesis we particularly investigate Lorentz invariance using Compton Scattering at the Compton Polarimeter located in Hall-C at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The Mississippi State Axion Search, an axion search experiment which uses light shining through a wall technique is described in detail, including its instrumentation, initial tests and future impact. Furthermore, a novel method of detection of solar anti-neutrinos based on coherent neutrino scattering is described. Additionally, on the instrumentation side, development of a multi-purpose beam instrument based on synchrotron light to measure the electron beam polarization, beam profile and intensity at the future Electron Ion Collider is presented. | en_US |
