We present a measurement of the single top quark cross section in the lepton
plus jets final state using an integrated luminosity corresponding to 7.5/fb of
collision data collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. ...
Dusty plasma is a low-temperature plasma containing dust particles varying in
size from nanometers to micrometers. Due to plasma fluxes to its surface, a dust particle will charge negatively or positively depending on the ...
In this work, both experimental and numerical methods are used to investigate several of the fundamental processes and assumptions commonly found in an earth-based radio-frequency (RF) complex plasma discharge. First the ...
TiO2(110) and (001) have been investigated by low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). A nearly bulk-like (1 × 1) TiO2(110) was produced after cycles of Ar+ sputtering and surface ...
The main theme of the research presented in this thesis is the search for Supersymmetry, one of the most likely and well-motivated extensions of the standard model of particle physics, in 7 TeV proton-proton collisions ...
