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...

Identification of, and discrimination against, background radiation is of the utmost importance in dark matter searches. DEAP-3600 (Dark Matter Experiment using Argon Pulse shape discrimination) is a single phase, direct dark matter detector with a 3300 kg liquid argon target housed in a...

In reservoir management, seismic surveillance is crucial to maximize the value of the field. It is not only useful in revealing the current reservoir situation, but also in managing future risks. In a typical seismic monitoring project, repeated data acquisition and processing are required for...

This thesis describes the design, fabrication, and characterization of 3D superconducting microwave cavities for two applications. It first describes a cryogenically compatible microwave filter that is able to tune its resonant frequency by an unprecedented 5 GHz via deformation caused by a a...

Velocity analysis can be a time-consuming task when it is performed manually. Methods have been proposed to automate the process of velocity analysis, which, however, typically requires significant manual effort. We propose using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to estimate stacking...

Many models exist to study earthquake fault systems to gain a fundamental understanding of the dynamic processes that occur during an earthquake. We study cellular automata (CA) models to replicate a simple earthquake fault model. We find that the dynamics of a CA model can be simplified to a...

Computational methods are nowadays essential tools employed in the field of drug design. Indeed, bringing a molecular compound from bench to clinic is a challenging, time-consuming and expensive goal to achieve. Computer-aided drug design (CADD) techniques aim to simplify this process, by...

A bound muon in the presence of a nucleus can decay into an electron, which belongs to either continuous or discrete (bound) energy spectrum. The underlying physics of both cases differ a lot, and so does their importance. The Standard Model decay of a bound muon into an outgoing energetic...

Discovery Potential for Quantum Black Holes in the Di-Top Quark Final State at the Large Hadron Collider
DownloadFall 2019
Models postulating large extra dimensions or a warped extra dimension allow the reduction of the Planck scale to the order of a few TeV. These energies may be accessible by the Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator. Quantum black holes are predicted to be produced from particle collisions...

Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the Universe, with densities in their cores that are larger than that of the atomic nucleus. Their relatively small size allows them to spin very rapidly, with speeds at the equator that are a large fraction of the speed of light. Being some of the...
