(2006-01-06)The position reconstruction performance of the Electromagnetic Endcap Calorimeter (EMEC) is assessed in terms of its response to electrons. The electromagnetic and hadronic endcap calorimeter modules of the ATLAS detector ...

(2007-07-23)Time-resolved Faraday rotation (TRFR) is a pulsed laser pump/probe optical measurement used to characterize electron spin dynamics in semiconductor materials. A Mach-Zehnder type interferometer with orthogonally polarized ...

(2007-08-27)The existence of charged electroweak-scale particles in the early universe can drastically affect the evolution of elemental abundances. Through the formation of Coulombic bound states with light nuclei, these exotic relic ...
-
(2007-09-25)There are hints coming from some scenarios of modern String and Quantum Gravity theories that Lorentz invariance may not be an exact symmetry of Nature. The study of Lorentz violating theories therefore provides an insight ...

(2007-10-19)As an operational approach to the Bekenstein-Hawking formula S_{BH}=A/4l_{Pl}^{2} for the black hole entropy, we consider the reversible contraction of a spinning thin shell to its event horizon and find that its thermodynamic ...

(2007-10-24)We investigate the decay mode τ − → π − π + π − ηντ , where the η subsequently decays to π + π − π 0 using 232 fb−1 data acquired by the BABAR detector. The branching fraction of τ − → π − π + π − ηντ is found to be (1.88 ...

Evaluating the performance of a prototype TPC for use in the ND280m detector of the T2K experiment (2007-11-21)A prototype time projection chamber has been designed and constructed to study the performance that can be expected by the large scale time projection chambers in the ND280m detector of the Tokai to Kamioka (T2K) neutrino ...

(2007-12-14)Raman spectroscopy is a form of vibrational spectroscopy that is capable of probing biological samples at a molecular level. In this work it was used in the analysis of ionizing radiation-induced damage in DNA. Spectra ...

(2008-04-10)The spin states of W bosons in e+e- -t W+W- -t q$tvc events recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP are determined by an analysis of the angular distributions of their d e cay products. This information is used to calculate ...

(2008-04-10)This thesis presents the detailed measurements of the tracking efficiency of the BaBar detector using T pair events. These efficiency measurements are critical for many physics analyses at BaBar. The tracking efficiency ...
-
(2008-04-10)The Pyramid Sensor (PS) is a promising wavefront sensor (WFS) for astronomical adaptive optics (AO) due to its potential to increase the number of accessible scientific targets by more efficiently using guide star (GS) ...
