Physics beyond the standard model: moduli stabilisation and neutrino physics
… mixing which represent an important aspect of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). We derive approximate analytic formulae for the neutrino mixing angles in general SD involving NLO and NNLO corrections. These expressions, which are given in terms of input see-saw parameters, provide a …

Perpetually playing physics
… thermodynamic cycles without prior knowledge of physics. To show this, we introduce an environment that models a simple heat engine. With this, we are able to optimize a neural network based policy to maximize the thermal efficiency for different cases. Using a series of restricted action sets in …

Physics in Screening Environments
In the current study, we investigated atoms in screening environments likeplasmas.It is common practice to extract physical data, such as temperature andelectron densities, from plasma experiments. We present results that addressinherent computational difficulties that arise when the screening …

Physics on Noncommutative Spacetimes
… spacetimes'. This dissertation probes physics on several such spacetimes. These include compact noncommutative spaces called fuzzy spaces and noncompact spacetimes. The compact examples we look at are the fuzzy sphere and the fuzzy Higg's manifold. The noncompact spacetimes we study are …

The physics of sputtering
Early sputtering observations were made in the abnormal glow discharge at pressures around 1 mm Hg and indicated that the mass sputtered per unit charge passed through the discharge tube varied linearly with the cathode fall of potential.

Jet physics at ATLAS
The use and optimisation of integration grid techniques to generate next-to-leading order predictions of jet cross-sections, independent of parton distribution functions, was investigated. Such methods were found to provide an accurate approximation to a standard Monte-Carlo simulation (within 1%) …

Applications of Neutrino Physics
Neutrino physics has entered a precision era in which understanding backgrounds and systematic uncertainties is particularly important. With a precise understanding of neutrino physics, we can better understand neutrino sources. In this work, we demonstrate dependency of single detector oscillation …

Explicitly structured physics instruction
In an introductory physics course, problem solving skills are not traditionally taught. The instructor explains the physical theory and works example problems. Many students, however, are not able to develop the ability to solve problems implicitly. The program of Explicitly Structured Physics …

Physics experiences and calculus: How students use physics to construct meaningful conceptualizations of calculus concepts in an interdisciplinary calculus /physics course
… students enrolled in an integrated Calculus/Physics course use their understanding of physics to inform their conceptualizations of calculus concepts. This study utilized a multiple case study design with analysis by and across cases. The cases represent eight first year students in the …

Examining the influence of physics focused professional development on advanced placement physics teachers
… the pedagogical content knowledge of in-service physics teachers because of the large population of under-qualified teachers in the physics classroom. The need is even greater for the advanced placement (AP) physics teacher because of the level of rigor involved in the AP curriculum. This case …

Gender Equity in Physics Education: Framing the Future of Physics Education Research in Canada
… is to determine if and how the field of physics education research (PER) in Canada is addressing issues of gender inequity in physics education, and to develop an expert knowledge-based framework to guide Canada’s ongoing PER to increase gender equity in physics education. Three separate …
