Numerical investigation of the superfluid transition in low dimensions and in anisotropic systems
DownloadSpring 2023
The main theme of this thesis is the superfluid transition in reduced dimensions and in anisotropic and inhomogeneous systems. Using state-of-the-art computational methodology, we carry out large-scale, numerically exact computer simulations to study this topic, making use of classical and...

Spring 2023
The study of energetic particles of solar and cosmic origin, and those accelerated in the planetary magnetopause, is integral to our developing understanding of the physical processes affecting space radiation in near-Earth space, interplanetary space, and Earth's upper atmosphere. In particular,...

Theory and Application of Thomson Scattering to Particle Transport and Magnetic Field Measurements in Laser-Produced Plasmas
DownloadSpring 2023
The particle transport, plasma currents, and magnetic fields were investigated in laboratory plasmas, both with the Optical Thomson Scattering (OTS) diagnostic and in theory and numerical simulations. %despite the presence of hot ion tails, which would be more suppressed by collisions in real...

Spring 2023
The decay rate of exotic atoms is of great importance due to their short lifetimes, which presents a challenge when attempting to probe them. The study of pionic atoms can open up a new area of physics, and experiments such as the PiHe collaboration have found a new method of laser spectroscopy...

This thesis examines 2D Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations of a beat-wave interacting with a Near-Critical Density (NCD) plasma to generate an electron beam suitable for radiotherapy. The beat-wave is generated from the co-propagation of an 800nm laser, the primary laser, and a 400nm laser, the...

Geothermal exploration and tectonic studies in southwestern Canada using the magnetotelluric method
DownloadFall 2023
Subduction zones are an important class of plate boundaries and are the location of several important geological processes. Significant mineral and geothermal energy resources are also formed by plate convergence. The magnetotelluric (MT) method is a useful tool to study subduction zones,...

Fall 2023
We examine the long-term evolution of accretion tori around the remnants of compact object mergers and the explosions of highly magnetized massive stars to better understand their roles in the creation of optical transients and the synthesis of r-process elements. We begin by modifying the...

A Search for Dark Matter Interactions in the DEAP 3600 Detector Using Fiducial Masses Ranging from 1433 to 2966 kg
DownloadFall 2023
The DEAP-3600 detector is a single-phase direct-detection Dark Matter (DM) experiment located 2 km underground at SNOLAB in Sudbury, Canada. The detector consists of 3279 kg of liquid Argon contained in a spherical acrylic vessel. DEAP-3600 was specifically designed to search for direct detection...

Fall 2023
This thesis provides an investigation of various aspects of the major background in the SNO+ experiment and its associated detector. The initial chapters present an overview of neutrino physics and the SNO+ detector, providing relevant background information. The impact of light reflection on the...
