Deriving the initial conditions of the electroweak and QCD phase transitions and testing a numerical relativity code.
(2021-08-05)The field of Numerical Relativity (NR) has been primarily driven by the study of largescale dynamics involving binary systems of black holes and neutron stars. Due to the nature of the underlying theory, NR also has the ... -
Fractional Fluxon Dynamics in Long Josephson Junctions
(2020-12-16)In this thesis, I investigate the dynamics of fractional fluxons in two-gap Long Josephson Junctions (LJJs). Due to time reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking within the LJJ, a single fluxon may split into a bound pair of ... -
Fundamentals of axis-symmetric boundary reconstruction for ideal tokamak plasmas: using toroidal harmonics to match poloidal flux measurements in the surrounding vacuum
(2018-07-30)With the development of tokamaks in the 1950s to control and sustain fusion reactions, a large amount of theory regarding associated plasmas has accumulated. Much of this theory is out of reach for the uninitiated, and ... -
Geometric Spinors
(2021-08-02)Geometric Algebra is a unique variant of what is otherwise known as Clifford Algebra. In this work we show that the geometric algebra provides better tools to visualize physical problems, benefited by our natural geometric ... -
Lorentz Invariance in Loop Quantum Gravity
(2020-04-28)From the principle of relativity, where the laws of physics is presumed to be the same in all inertial reference frames, we have Lorentz invariance. This invariance leads to rotational and boost invariance. These invariances ... -
Oa1s and Oa2s RADIATIVE CORRECTIONS FOR W-BOSON PRODUCTION AT THE TEVATRON AND ATLAS EXPERIMENT
(2022-05-31)In this thesis, we propose an approach for calculating W-Boson Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) distributions using the LHAPDF library with nCTEQ15, MSTW2008 and CT10 Parton Distribution Functions (PDF). We utilize ... -
PARTICLE INTERACTIONS IN COMPACT OBJECTS AND THE EARLY UNIVERSE
(2021-12-03)We show there is an effect of an extremely large magnetic field in highly dense media that has not been explored in prior work. We discuss the renormalizability of QED in such a medium. These extreme situations are found ... -
Quantum Magnetic Collapse In Neutron Star Binary Systems
(2019-05-14)Quantum magnetic collapse is a phenomenon that corresponds to the collapsing of stars due to the generation of high magnetic field. Such stars are highly magnetized objects (such as neutron stars) where the particle processes ... -
The magnetic moment of leptons at high temperatures
(2019-05-14)The magnetic moment is a measure of the interaction of charged particles with the magnetic field. It depends on the mass of the particles. All charged particles have an intrinsic magnetic moment due to their intrinsic spin, ...
