(2019-12-23)1D stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis simulations have traditionally modeled the mixing within convection zones as a diffusive process. The fluids within a convection zone are advecting and do not diffuse. However the ...
-
(2021-08-31)In recent decades, the accessibility of nuclear physics has been greatly improved due to the advent of modern supercomputers, as well as theoretical developments in effective field theory and ab initio (first--principles) ...
-
(2011-09-01)Detector mis-modelling or hardware problems may cause an excess of Missing Transverse Energy (MET) to be inferred in physics events recorded in ATLAS, leading to higher than expected backgrounds for new physics. In particular, ...
-
(2014-11-12)A primary goal of this thesis has been to demonstrate that stable, useful measurements of the orientation of the acoustic signal vector as a function of range and time can be obtained from ocean backscatter, and that ...
-
(2011-07-27)The Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) Fornax Cluster Survey is a Hubble Space Telescope programme that imaged 43 early-type galaxies in the Fornax cluster, using the ACS F475W (~g) and F850LP (~z) bandpasses. We use this ...
-
(2022-09-23)The advent of the Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) has provided a revolutionary depth and clarity to our view of forming stars and planets. With these improved capabilities, observations can provide ...
-
(2022-04-29)The new generation of giant ground-based telescopes will see their first light this decade. These state-of-the-art facilities will significantly surpass the resolving power of modern space-based observatories such as the ...
-
(2017-08-31)High resolution imaging of wide fields has been a prerogative of space telescopes for decades. Multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) is a key technology for the future of ground-based astronomy, especially as we approach ...
-
(2017-12-22)Thin-film photovoltaics are of great interest due to decreased manufacturing costs, improved environmental sustainability and the potential for flexible, semi-transparent, and light-weight modules. The scientific literature ...
-
(2018-06-27)Electromagnetic induction in the continental Bohai Bay coastal region of China and the island region of Japan is studied with the aid of laboratory analogue models. Detailed model measurements of the electric (Ex, Ey) ...
-
(2021-07-06)The beam intensity of the Large Hadron Collider will be significantly increased during the Phase-II long shut down of 2024-2026. Signal processing techniques that are used to extract the energy of detected particles in ...
-
(2018-08-31)Radiation therapy (RT) plays a crucial role in the management of cancer, however, current standards of care have yet to account for patient specific radiation sensitivity. Raman spectroscopy (RS) is a promising technique ...
-
(2012-12-12)This dissertation presents a detailed analysis of the galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses discovered by the Sloan Lens ACS (SLACS) survey, with the aim of providing new insight into the processes that affect the ...
-
(2018-12-24)Radiation therapy, one of the most common forms of cancer treatment, is continually evolving with the introduction of new technology, more complex treatments and more advanced radiation dose calculations. To ensure the ...
-
(2016-11-15)The e-linac beam that will serve the ARIEL Electron Target East (AETE) has an energy range from 30 MeV to 50 MeV with a power up to 500 kW. The beam electrons are to be converted into photons by means of an electron-to-gamma ...
-
(2008-09-11)Polymer gel dosimetry, in conjunction with x-ray computed tomography (x-ray CT) imaging, is a three-dimensional dosimetric tool that shows promise in the verification of complex radiation therapy treatments. Previous ...
-
(2022-12-19)The New Small Wheel (NSW) is the latest major upgrade of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer and was installed during LHC Long Shutdown 2 between Runs 2 and 3. The NSW replaced the previous Small Wheels in the inner end-cap ...
-
(2023-04-18)The ISAC (Isotope Separator and ACcelerator) II superconducting heavy ion linac at TRIUMF enables delivery of radioactive ion beams for various nuclear physics experiments at TRIUMF. Since the installation and commissioning ...
-
(2018-07-11)A finite difference algorithm for solving the forward modelling problem of geo-electromagnetic induction in two-dimensional (2D) structures has been developed in this thesis. The governing equations have been modified ...
-
(2019-03-13)First, the baryonic content of simulated halos of virial masses between 5 x 10^{9} M_{\odot}$ to 5 x 10^{12} M_{\odot}$ in the APOSTLE project is examined in the context of the missing baryon problem. Baryonic particles ...
