  • Cavity quantum electrodynamics with ensembles of ytterbium-171 
    Braverman, Boris (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    In this thesis, I present the realization of a system applying the tools of cavity quantum electrodynamics to an atomic optical lattice clock. We design and implement a unique experimental cavity structure, with a small ...
  • An emittance scanner for high-intensity, low-energy ion beams 
    Corona, Jesus, S.B. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    My work in this thesis is a contribution toward the IsoDAR experiment, which aims to test the sterile neutrino hypothesis. In the IsoDAR experiment, neutrinos are generated by a 60 MeV proton beam impinging on a 9Be target ...
  • Influence of gene expression gradients on positional information content in fly embryos 
    Hastewell, Alasdair (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    The concept of positional information was introduced to qualitatively explain how individual cells are involved in forming patterns. Recent experimental and theoretical developments have made studying specific biological ...
  • Spontaneous chiral ordering in titanium diselenide 
    Mier Valdivia, Andrés M (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    In this work, we studied the chiral charge density wave (CDW) phase in titanium diselenide (TiSe₂) with the circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE). Mechanically exfoliated bulk TiSe₂ flakes were obtained and implemented into ...
  • Range distribution of 122 Mev (pi⁺) and (pi⁻) mesons in brass
