(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Heavy quark physics serves as a probe to understand QCD, measure standard model parameters, and look for signs of new physics. We study several aspects of heavy quark systems in an effective field theory framework, including ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)We study strong interaction effects in nonleptonic decays of ... mesons with energetic particles in the final state. An introduction to Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET), the appropriate effective field theory of QCD ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)This thesis is a biographical snapshot of physicist Herman Feshbach (1917-2000). Herman Feshbach was a nuclear physics that spent over three-quarters of his life at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His life is a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)The High Energy Transient Explorer (HETE), was built primarily at MIT and launched in October 2000 with the goal of studying Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) at X-ray and gamma-ray energies. A suite of instruments aboard HETE provide ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this thesis we investigate building models of family symmetry that give the Higgs fields family structure. We construct several models, starting with 2 generation models then moving onto 3 generation models. These models ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)A measurement of standard model Higgs pair production in [beta][beta][tau][tau] final states at the High Luminosity LHC is investigated. Higgs pair production can be used to measure the Higgs trilinear coupling constant, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Two low-noise, high quantum efficiency, high bandwidth photodetectors have constructed to form a balanced homodyne detector to detect squeezed light. The detectors have quantum efficiencies of 85% and 90%, a bandwidth of ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis discusses recent experimental work in measuring the properties of higher levels in transmon qubit systems. The first part includes a thorough overview of transmon devices, explaining the principles of the device ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)While quantum information processing offers a tantalizing possibility of a significant speedup in execution of certain algorithms, as well as enabling previously unmanageable simulations of large quantum systems, it remains ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is a valuable tool which can be used to enhance nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal intensities in a variety of biological and materials science systems, by transferring polarization ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a network of long-arm interferometers designed to directly measure gravitational-wave strain. Direct observation of gravitational waves would provide a test ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)GRS 1915+105 is an accreting black-hole in a binary system located in the Milky Way. It is one of the most variable X-ray sources known, and 12 variability classifications have been defined, many of which appear to be ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Orbits around black holes evolve due to gravitational-wave emission, losing energy and angular momentum, and driving the orbiting body to slowly spiral into the black hole. Recent theoretical advances now make it possible ...
