Archean cratons are comprised of thick, stable continental lithosphere that has persisted for billions of years owing to their isopycnicity (i.e. near neutral buoyancy) and higher viscosity than the surrounding mantle. These regions host diamonds at depths greater than 150 km due to the...

As quantum computing research progresses, the need for a quantum network to allow communication between individual processors is becoming apparent. Such a network will require the ability to process, transmit, and store quantum information. Many quantum devices have been investigated, however...

A Data-Driven Method for Measuring Position Resolution in the DEAP-3600 DarkMatter Detector
DownloadFall 2019
DEAP-3600 is a single-phase liquid Argon dark matter detector operated at SNOLAB in Ontario, Canada, searching for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). It is well-established that astronomical and cosmological observations suggest the existence of some form of unseen matter in the...

A LIKELIHOOD RATIO ALGORITHM FOR REMOVING LOCALIZED ALPHA PARTICLE BACKGROUNDS IN THE DEAP-3600 DETECTOR
DownloadSpring 2017
DEAP-3600 (Dark Matter Experiment using Argon for Pulse shape discrimination) is a single phase dark matter experiment using a tonne-scale mass of liquid argon as a target to observe spin-independent interactions with Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). Alpha decays from radioactive...

A Measurement of Solar Neutrinos and the Development of Reconstruction Algorithms for the SNO+ Experiment
DownloadSpring 2022
This thesis presents a measurement of the flux of Boron-8 ($^8$B) solar neutrinos. The measurement is based on a dataset of 190.33 live days acquired during the SNO+ water physics commissioning. To analyze the data, an event reconstruction framework was developed to evaluate the orientation of...

The conventional, single band Hubbard model captures the dynamics that arise in strongly correlated electron systems in the competition between electron transport and local Coulomb interactions. However, some of the important physics of real lattices is overlooked by its simplicity. The dynamic...
