Data Logistics and the CMS Analysis Model
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2009-04-20)
The Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment (CMS) at the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC) at CERN has brilliant prospects for uncovering new
information about the physical structure of our universe. Soon
physicists around the world ...
Micro Programmable Object Navigation Gadget (micro-PONG) for Studying Electroosmotic Flow in PDMS Microchannel
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2009-04-20)
Precise control of fluid delivery in analytical devices may be achieved by harnessing electroosmotic flow (EOF) in oxidized
poly(dimethylsiloxane) microfluidic channels fabricated via soft lithography. However, the ...
A Search for Pre-Main Sequence Eclipsing Binary Stars in the Lagoon Nebula
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2009-04-20)
We report time-series CCD I-band photometry for the pre-main-sequence cluster NGC 6530, located within the Lagoon Nebula. The data were obtained with the 4Kx4K imager on the SMARTS 1.0m telescope at CTIO on 36 nights over ...
Measurement of Energy Spectrum of Electrons Field-Emitted from Diamond Field-Emitter Arrays
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2009-04-20)
A retarding mesh analyzer was used to measure the electron energy spectrum field emitted from a single tip of a Diamond Field Emitter Array. The emission was dominated by adsorbed gas
atoms and molecules on the surface ...
Blazar Microvariations
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2009-04-20)
In November 2006, the authors collected data on blazars PKS 0537-441, PKS
0447-439, and PKS 0208-5121 from the Cerra Tololo Inter-American Observatory in
Chile. All three blazars are tested for microvariability, first ...
