▼ Structured stirring and mixing play a dominate role in turbulent mixing and are important processes across a wide range of applications. The mixing of two scalars that share an interface has the same topology of a single scalar problem, and therefore has dominated the literature. The mixing of two scalars separated by a third, ambient fluid has received much less attention. This topology is of particular interest in that stirring may not always increase mixing between the two scalars, and some stirring protocols may further segregate the two scalars. This topology is common in many biological, environmental, chemical, industrial, and scientific applications. The present thesis begins by developing an experimental framework with which two scalars separated by a third ambient fluid can be studied. The technique presented, referred to herein as two-channel PLIF, simultaneously quantifies two scalar fields using a pair of independently operated single-color PLIF systems that synchronously image a common region. The two-channel technique is used to investigate how stirring and mixing bring together initially isolated scalars in a variety of flows. Flows examined include laminar vortex shedding in the cylinder wake, plumes in grid turbulence, and low Reynolds number parallel turbulent jets. It is found that the turbulence properties and flow geometry are important in determining the effect of instantaneous processes. When the separation distance of the scalars is small compared to the largest turbulence length-scales, instantaneous mixing processes are responsible for over 80% of the coalescence between the two. Further analysis using joint probabilities of the two scalars indicates that turbulent structure brings scalar filaments near to each other in attracting regions of the flow before diffusive flux brings the two scalars into coalescence. This is the first study to show in a variety of flows that turbulent structure imparts spatial correlations on initially distant scalars. Advisors/Committee Members: John P. Crimaldi, Rajagopalan Balaji, Peter Hamlington, Harihar Rajaram, Jeffrey Weiss.

▼ This thesis concerns the study of extended Higgs sectors at future colliders. Such studies are well motivated since enlarged Higgs models are a necessity in many extensions of the Standard Model (SM), although these structures may be considered purely in the context of the SM, to be called the 'non-minimal SM'. The continuous theme of the thesis is the task of distinguishing between the (many) theoretically sound non-minimal Higgs sectors at forthcoming colliders. If a Higgs boson is found it is imperative to know from which model it originates. In particular, the possible differences between the Higgs sectors of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and the non-minimal SM are highlighted. Considered first are the detection prospects of light charged Higgs scalars (H(^±)) at e(^+)e(^-) colliders. The discovery of a H(^±) would provide unambiguous evidence for a non- minimal Higgs sector. We show that in certain (but not all)non-minimal models a light H(^±) may exist i.e. be within the mass range accessible at LEP2 (M(_H)(_ ±) ≤ Mw). In particular the MSSM requires M(_H±) ≥ Mw, and thus detection of a at LEP2 is strong evidence against the MSSM. We discuss ways of distinguishing between the models which may contain a light H(^±) by exploiting differences in the decay channels. Attention is then given to the neutral Higgs bosons of the non-minimal SM. It is possible that these particles may possess a greatly different phenomenology to that of the mammal SM and MSSM, and we explore the feasibility of observing these differences at LEP2 and the LHC It is found that distinct, sometimes spectacular signatures are possible. The thesis next considers a more exotic Higgs representation, namely that of Higgs triplets, and compares its phenomenology at LEP2 with that of the non-minimal models covered thus far The phenomenon of Higgs bosons decoupling from the fermions(fermiophobia) arises naturally in the above triplet model, and this concept is studied in more depth in the final chapter. It is emphasized that such particles are not possible in the MSSM.

In this thesis, we review the basics of phenomenology in particle physics at neutrino beam dump experiments and hadron colliders. We then consider the phenomenology of various new particles, with masses between 1 MeV and 1 TeV, at the intensity and energy frontiers. We perform sensitivity analyses for physics beyond the standard model at particle colliders (LEP and LHC) and a number of past and future neutrino beam dump experiments (SHiP, DUNE, LSND, MicroBooNE, MiniBooNE and SBND). In particular, we motivate searches for new heavy neutral leptons in single photon events at neutrino and collider experiments (and also via supernova cooling), millicharged particles in single electron events at neutrino experiments, lepton flavor violating scalars via standard model induced mixed flavor neutrino trident production at neutrino experiments, and colored scalar doublets at colliders in events with many jets, soft leptons and low missing energy. In the process, we set novel new bounds on the parameters of these theories and propose powerful new searches that can be performed. We also motivate the construction of a new detector at the LHC called milliQan, and perform a full Geant4 simulation to calculate its projected sensitivity for millicharged particles. The milliQan experiment has since been approved and is currently undergoing construction.

Thesis

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

In this thesis, we review the basics of particle physics at neutrino experiments and particle colliders. We then motivate and develop key searches that can be performed to look for new particles at a series of existing and future experiments. We focus on new particles with masses between the electron mass and 1000 times the proton mass. The many searches we consider involve looking for processes that produce a single ray of light, a single electron, a pair of oppositely charged "electron-like" events, new collider signatures, and/or modifications of star explosions. In the process, we set novel new bounds on many theories. We also motivate the construction of a new detector at the Large Hadron Collider called milliQan, and perform a full simulation to assess its future performance. The milliQan experiment has since been approved and is currently undergoing construction.

▼ The main purpose of this research is to investigate and estimate the increase in total regional employment as it relates to employment increases in specific economic sectors, using economic base theory and a regional economic base model. Past empirical research in economic base modeling typical relies on single year data and original least square (OLS) regression, with unstable results that are possibly explained by the fact that the regression analysis is influenced by abnormal value changes in one or more explanatory variables. As an alternative, this thesis utilizes panel data regression with data for multiple years in an economic base analysis of Florida employment patterns. Sector-specific employment multipliers are estimated and compared using OLS and the panel data regression. Of the other widely used methodologies: the survey method, location quotient (LQ) method, and minimum requirements (MR), regression analysis is the only one which can estimate impact multipliers. Regression models to estimate employment multipliers are typically divided into disaggregate and aggregate models. The former can obtain the multiplier estimates for specific industries, while the latter one independently cannot distinguish between different industries. Hence, disaggregate regression models are widely used in economic base research. Unable to account for economic spillover effects, such as cash flows or trans-boundary monetary transfers, disaggregate regression models tend to have upwardly biased multipliers. It is necessary, therefore, to apply scaling factors and utilize independent variables that capture the influence of monetary transfers to account for such factors as unemployment and retirement benefits and other state income sources in an effort to decrease bias in the modeling process. Transfer payments, dividends, interest and rents, and social security benefits are considered in this analysis, and prove to be effective in reducing the upward bias of multiplier estimates. This research also examines the assumptions of original least square and alternatives, to test for the potential violation of assumptions. In order to obtain reasonable and stable estimates of multiplier related coefficients and avoid potential problems associated with endogenous error terms, panel data regression is preferred to original least squares regression when data for more than one sample time period is available. The estimation results suggest that employment increases in wholesale trade can create most total employment benefits in Florida's regional economy, while job increases in the transportation and public utility sector leads to relatively small job returns to Florida's overall regional economy. Comparison of results between ordinary least square regression based on a single year sample and panel data regression using a two-year sample suggest that the latter can avoid the impact of sudden and discontinue change in a regional economic trend. In short, the panel regression approach is deemed as preferable over ordinary least square… Advisors/Committee Members: Fik, Timothy J. (committee chair), Thrall, Grant I.

▼ A point particle moving in a curved spacetime gives rise to fields that in turn affect its motion. One conveniently thinks of this interplay as the response of the particle to its {\sl self-force}. To date, models of point particle motion in the vicinity of black holes have ignored parts of this self-force because it is such a challenge to calculate. This work is part of a larger effort to develop systematic tools for the efficient calculation of such self-forces. This development is made with the aim of accurately simulating the inspiraling motion of compact objects onto supermassive black holes (also known as extreme-mass-ratio binary inspirals, or EMRIs), and of obtaining good predictions of the gravitational waves they emit. EMRIs are the main targets for the proposed space-based gravitational wave detector, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). For the mission to succeed, accurate templates of the gravitational waves it will pick up are necessary. This work is an attempt to address this need. The main contribution of this dissertation is the design and testing of a novel method for simultaneously calculating self-forces and radiation fluxes due point particle sources using (3+1) codes. Concrete calculations of self-forces for particles in strong-field gravity have only previously been done through mode sum approaches, which, while having been critical to the development of the subject, appears inconvenient for the eventual goal of using a calculated self-force to update particle trajectories. The new method avoids a mode decomposition entirely, and instead properly replaces the distributional source of the curved spacetime wave equation by an effective regular source. The resulting regular solution of the wave equation, under appropriate boundary conditions, results in the physical retarded field when evaluated in the wavezone, while its gradient at the location of the particle gives the full self-force. This prescription is founded on the possibility of properly smearing out or regularizing delta function sources using an elegant decomposition of point source retarded fields, introduced by Detweiler and Whiting. Concrete implementations of the method are presented here, focusing exclusively on the ideal test case of a scalar point charge in a circular orbit around a Schwarzschild black hole. For a quick proof-of-principle, the method is first implemented in time-domain, using a 4th-order (1+1) algorithm for evolving the wave equation. This was used to calculate the self-force and the retarded field in the wave zone. To assess the quality of the numerical results, they were compared with the results of highly accurate frequency-domain calculations found in the literature. Encouraging agreement to within ≤ sssim 1% is achieved. This work also presents the first successful self-force calculations performed with (3+1) codes. For this task, two independent (3+1) codes (finite difference and pseudospectral) developed originally for full-fledged numerical relativity applications were adapted to implement… Advisors/Committee Members: Detweiler, Steven L.

▼ The detection of gravitational waves is the most exciting prospect for experimental relativity today. With ground based interferometers such as LIGO, VIRGO and GEO online and the space based LISA project in preparation, the experimental apparatus necessary for such work is steadily taking shape. Yet, however capable these experiments are of taking data, the actual detection of gravitational waves relies in a significant way on making sense of the collected signals. Some of the data analysis techniques already in place use knowledge of expected waveforms to aid the search. This is manifested in template based data analysis techniques. For these techniques to be successful, potential sources of gravitational radiation must be identified and the corresponding waveforms for those sources must be computed. It is in this context that black hole perturbation theory has its most immediate consequences. This dissertation presents a new framework for black hole perturbation theory based on the spin coefficient formalism of Geroch, Held and Penrose. The two main components of this framework are a new form for the perturbed Einstein equations and a Maple package, GHPtools, for performing the necessary symbolic computation. This framework provides a powerful tool for performing analyses generally applicable to the entire class of Petrov type D solutions, which include the Kerr and Schwarzschild spacetimes. Several examples of the power and flexibility of the framework are explored. They include a proof of the existence of the radiation gauges of Chrzanowski in Petrov type II spaces as well as a derivation of the Teukolsky-Starobinsky relations that makes no reference to separation of variables. Furthermore, a method of determining the non-radiated multipoles in type D spaces is detailed. ( en ) Advisors/Committee Members: Whiting, Bernard F. (committee chair), Klauder, John R.

▼ With the ability of computer hardware and software increasing rapidly, deterministic methods to solve the linear Boltzmann equation (LBE) have attracted some attention for computational applications in both the nuclear engineering and medical physics fields. Among various deterministic methods, the discrete ordinates method (SN) and the method of characteristics (MOC) are two of the most widely used methods. The SN method is the traditional approach to solve the LBE for its stability and efficiency. While the MOC has some advantages in treating complicated geometries. However, in 3-D problems requiring a dense discretization grid in phase space (i.e., a large number of spatial meshes, directions, or energy groups), both methods could suffer from the need for large amounts of memory and computation time. In our study, we developed a new hybrid algorithm by combing the two methods into one code, TITAN. The hybrid approach is specifically designed for application to problems containing low scattering regions. A new serial 3-D time-independent transport code has been developed. Under the hybrid approach, the preferred method can be applied in different regions (blocks) within the same problem model. Since the characteristics method is numerically more efficient in low scattering media, the hybrid approach uses a block-oriented characteristics solver in low scattering regions, and a block-oriented SN solver in the remainder of the physical model. In the TITAN code, a physical problem model is divided into a number of coarse meshes (blocks) in Cartesian geometry. Either the characteristics solver or the SN solver can be chosen to solve the LBE within a coarse mesh. A coarse mesh can be filled with fine meshes or characteristic rays depending on the solver assigned to the coarse mesh. Furthermore, with its object-oriented programming paradigm and layered code structure, TITAN allows different individual spatial meshing schemes and angular quadrature sets for each coarse mesh. Two quadrature types (level-symmetric and Legendre-Chebyshev quadrature) along with the ordinate splitting techniques (rectangular splitting and PN-TN splitting) are implemented. In the SN solver, we apply a memory-efficient 'front-line' style paradigm to handle the fine mesh interface fluxes. In the characteristics solver, we have developed a novel 'backward' ray-tracing approach, in which a bi-linear interpolation procedure is used on the incoming boundaries of a coarse mesh. A CPU-efficient scattering kernel is shared in both solvers within the source iteration scheme. Angular and spatial projection techniques are developed to transfer the angular fluxes on the interfaces of coarse meshes with different discretization grids. The performance of the hybrid algorithm is tested in a number of benchmark problems in both nuclear engineering and medical physics fields. Among them are the Kobayashi benchmark problems and a computational tomography (CT) device model. We also developed an extra sweep procedure with the fictitious quadrature technique to… Advisors/Committee Members: Haghighat, Alireza (committee chair), Gilland, David R.

▼ Our study concerns a novel scheme for the quantization of positive-definite matrix degrees of freedom of the type associated with the spacial part of the metric tensor of general relativity. Standard canonical schemes for the quantization of such objects, wherein each matrix element is quantized independently, run into difficulties because the spectrum of the resulting 'quantum matrix' is not, in general, positive definite. We demonstrate that this situation can be overcome by abandoning canonical quantization in favor of 'affine quantization', that is, utilizing a quantum kinematical structure based the affine group, rather than the Heisenberg group. Our approach involves a generalization of the one-dimensional affine group, the group of translations and dilations of the real line. A multidimensional generalization of the one-dimensional affine Lie algebra possesses a representation in which, crucially, the spectrum of the matrix operator of interest is positive definite. The corresponding Hilbert space admits a group-defined coherent state representation, and we develop the formalism of this representation, including the formulation of coherent state overlap functions as suitably regularized path integrals. The coherent state label space, endowed with a suitable ray metric, may be viewed as a Riemannian manifold whose scalar curvature is shown to be a negative constant. This symmetry leads naturally, through the procedures of metrical quantization, to acceptable Hilbert spaces of high dimension. The incorporation of constraints into affine quantum mechanics represents an important problem, especially from the point of view of quantum gravity. We outline a relatively new technique, involving projection operators, that overcomes many of the difficulties associated with more standard approaches, and provide a simple example.
