(University of Oregon, 2016-10-27)Jamming is a physical process which is both easy to describe and incredibly difficult to understand. One such difficulty is that mechanical treatments of jamming focus on pressure, force, stress, and strain, which are ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2022-10-04)The temporal activity of many biological systems, including neural circuits, exhibits fluctuations simultaneously varying over a large range of timescales. The mechanisms leading to this temporal heterogeneity are yet ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2024-08-07)The FASER experiment at the LHC is designed to search for light, weakly-interacting particles produced in proton-proton collisions at the ATLAS interaction point that travel in the far-forward direction. FASER is sensitive ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2022-10-26)A search for emerging jets in the dijet topology is presented here using 139 ifb of √s = 13 TeV Run 2 ATLAS proton-proton collision data. Emerging jets constitute a class of dark jet models that have long-lived hadronization ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2024-01-09)Integrated quantum information technologies such as photonic circuits, quantum transducers, and magnetic sensors require robust single-photon sources in precise locations. Solid-state single photon emitters (SPEs) hosted ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2019-04-30)The first direct detection of gravitational waves in 2015, and the multiple detections that followed ushered in the era of gravitational-wave astronomy. With these developments, the focus of the gravitational-wave community ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2021-11-23)A vast variety of physical systems falls within the description of amorphous solids. From glasses to grains, all of these materials share a disordered structure of their constituents. Understanding the nature of the ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2008-09)The abundance of B mesons at B factories opens the door to the search in rare decays for physics outside of the Standard Model. Flavor-changing neutral current transitions proceed only via higher order in the Standard ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2019-09-18)The next generation of gravitational wave detectors will improve the detection prospects for gravitational waves from core-collapse supernovae. The complex astrophysics involved in core-collapse supernovae pose a significant ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2022-10-04)Galaxies are not closed systems but are constantly interacting with their environment which generally contains a) other nearby galaxies and b) some form of warm gaseous medium existing between galaxies (known as the ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020-09-24)We describe our investigations on possible new physics beyond the Standard Model that reveal their connections with custodial symmetry. First, we consider several strongly-coupled dark sectors with fermions that transform ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2024-01-09)Gravitational Waves (GWs) have quickly emerged as powerful, indispensabletools for studying gravity in the strong field regime and high-energy astrophysical phenomena since they were first directly detected by the Laser ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020-09-24)Neurostimulation implantable devices are used extensively in treating a variety of neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and age-related macular degeneration. Current devices fail to provide high ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2024-01-09)This dissertation presents the development of a boosted analysis in the searchfor the resonant production of a new heavy scalar X decaying to two Higgs bosons, which is predicted by some Beyond the Standard Model theories. ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2020-09-24)Optical microcavities offer many application possibilities in addition to being model systems for studying chaotic dynamics in the wave regime. However these systems are only analytically solvable for the simplest geometries. ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2024-01-09)Networks of nanoelectromechanical (NEMS) resonators are useful analogs for a variety of many- body systems and enable impactful applications in sensing, phononics, and mechanical information processing. Two main challenges ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2010-06)The field of quantum chaos investigates the quantum mechanical behavior of classically chaotic systems. This dissertation begins by describing an experiment conducted on an apparatus constructed to represent a three ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2024-08-07)The use of temporal-mode encoding for quantum information science has gained interest due to its robustness to environmental perturbation and suitability for integrated photonics. Temporal-mode transformations, analogous ...
-
(University of Oregon, 1986-06)The Fock-Tani (unitary) transformation of the second- quantized Hamiltonian gives a representation which treats reactants and products symmetrically, and composites exactly. Each term in the Fock-Tani potential corresponds ...
-
(University of Oregon, 2009-06)Experimental studies on mix-conducting hetero-ionic junctions of anionically (PA A ) and cationically (PA C ) functionalized polyacetylene ionomers, as well as each individual ionomer, in thin-film sandwich configurations ...
