A Study of the Detection of Long-Lived Charged Particles With an Auxiliary Detector Above the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer (ADAM)
DownloadFall 2023
The Auxiliary Detector above the ATLAS Muon spectrometer (ADAM) is a proposed particle detector. Its function is to detect the decay products of beyond the standard model (BSM) particles produced in the 14 TeV proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which evade detection by...

Evaluating perching biomechanics in commercial and random-bred strains of enriched-housed laying hens
DownloadFall 2023
Housing, including rearing environment and provided enrichments, impact the welfare of laying hens throughout their life. As the Canadian egg layer industry shifted away from conventional cages, an increase in keel bone damage (KBD) has raised welfare and economic concerns. Keel bone damage leads...
