IMPROVING THE SENSITIVITY OF ADVANCED LIGO THROUGH DETECTOR CHARACTERIZATION
<p>This dissertation focuses on the impact of detector characterization work on searches for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences (CBCs) in Ad- vanced LIGO’s second observing run (O2). This observing run started on November 30, 2016, and lasted until August 25, 2017, and resulted in …

Neutron flux characterization of the Kansas State University TRIGA Mark II’s Northeast Beam Port
A high-resolution, multi-dimensional flux characterization was performed for the Kansas State University TRIGA Mark II’s Northeast Beam Port for the purpose of informing future experimental work, such as detector characterization, done using the beam. First, the Beam Port geometry was added to the …

Wafer Level Characterization of Infrared Detectors
Thermal detector technology such as microbolometers have become more commercially available and affordable in the past five years primarily driven by a manufacturable wafer level fabrication process for these detectors. A recent DARPA program called Wafer level Infrared Detectors (WIRED) is …
