Performance of Missing Transverse Momentum Reconstruction in Proton-proton Collisions at Toot s=13 TeV Using the CMS Detector
(Journal of Instrumentation, 2019-07-04)
The performance of missing transverse momentum (ÆpmissT) reconstruction algorithms for the CMS experiment is presented, using proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected at the CERN LHC in 2016. ...
Reflection and rotation for three dimensional microscopy of live cells
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, 2008-04-18)
Confocal scanning laser microscopy and multiphoton microscopy provide 3D data from biological specimens, but with limited z-axis precision. Multiple microscale mirrors can be used to obtain more accurate 3D data on living ...
Engineering a perfusion-enabled mechanical compressor for long-duration immobilization and microscopy of cells and small organisms
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)
The study of living specimens is essential to the understanding of
organismal behavior. Unfortunately, a major difficulty in the study of
live organisms is that many move in and out of the field of view or
focal plane ...
Perturbation Theory for Thin Cladding Layers on Silicon Photonic Systems
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)
I develop a perturbation theory for resonant frequency shifts caused by thin
layer of material added to dielectric systems. This development can be used
to effectively model photonic surface-sensing systems, which use ...
Developing High-Brightness Electron Beam Sources for Producing Quantum Degenerate Electron Beams
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)
The Pauli Exclusion Principle places a fundamental limit on the brightness
of an electron beam. Developing a cathode which can reach this limit is
useful for achieving maximum operation in current applications of ...
Measuring Radial Velocities of Low Mass Eclipsing Binaries
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)
Due to the complex nature of the spectra of low-mass M type stars, it
is difficult to determine their metallicities and temperatures
directly. By studying eclipsing binary pairs comprising one F, G, or
K type star with ...
Finite-Element Analysis of Low-Power Laser Heating in Gold::Vanadium Dioxide Nanocomposites
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)
Finite element modeling was performed using COMSOL Multiphysics to study the
thermal dynamics of gold::vanadium dioxide (VO$_{2}$) nanocomposites. These
simulations were done to understand the data from transient ...
Search for supersymmetry in Final States with Photons and Missing Transverse Momentum in Proton-proton Collisions at 13 TeV
(JOURNAL OF HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS, 2019-06-18)
Results are reported of a search for supersymmetry in final states with photons and missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1) ...
Combined measurements of Higgs boson couplings in proton- proton collisions at v s=13TeV
(EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL C, 2019-05-20)
Combined measurements of the production and decay rates of the Higgs boson, as well as its couplings to vector bosons and fermions, are presented. The analysis uses the LHC proton-proton collision data set recorded with ...
Search for a heavy pseudoscalar boson decaying to a Z and a Higgs boson at root s=13TeV
(EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL C, 2019-07-03)
A search is presented for a heavy pseudoscalar boson A decaying to a Z boson and a Higgs boson with mass of 125 GeV. In the final state considered, the Higgs boson decays to a bottom quark and antiquark, and the Z boson ...
