  1. 1. Primordial Gravitational Waves and ultra-light Dark Matter in a complex singlet extended Standard Model

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Sara Wildenor; [2021]
    Keywords : theoretical physics; gravitational waves; dark matter; complex singlet extended standard model; LISA; BBO; DECIGO; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the consequences of extending the internal symmetries of the standard model with a complex singlet scalar field, are investigated in terms of dark matter phenomenology and the possibility of primordial gravitational wave detection utilizing space based laser interferometry. The scalar potential of the model is constructed with a Z2 symmetry, which allows for the retainment of a linear and a quadratic coupling parameter, as well as a stable dark matter candidate, and an additional non-zero vacuum expectation value for the real component of the scalar field.

  2. 2. Searching for signatures of compositeness of the Higgs boson

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Mårten Bertenstam; [2021]
    Keywords : two-Higgs-doublet model; composite Higgs model; composite two-Higgs-doublet model; phase transition; cosmological phase transition; electroweak phase transition; gravitational waves; gravitational wave background; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this master thesis we consider some phenomenological aspects of two-Higgs-doublet models, both elementary and composite ones. The emphasis is on calculating and understanding first order phase transitions in such models, constrained to be in agreement with existing collider data on the Higgs sector. READ MORE

  3. 3. Cosmological implications of a QCD-like composite Higgs model

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Hristina Georgieva Hristova; [2021]
    Keywords : composite Higgs; technicolor; gravitational waves; LISA; phase transition; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Some of the shortcomings of the Standard Model of particle physics are the 'unnatural' value of the mass of the Higgs boson and the fact that the model cannot account for the process of baryogenesis - a mechanism which generates the observed asymmetry between matter and anti-matter in the Universe. The former is related to the fundamental scalar nature of the Higgs boson, connected to quadratic divergences in the mass corrections. READ MORE

  4. 4. Noncollinear optical parametric amplification of a supercontinuum

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Henrik Åkesson; [2019]
    Keywords : optical parametric amplification; supercontinuum generation; nonlinear optics; laser pulse compression; lasers; optics; Physics and Astronomy; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : During this thesis, work has been done towards realizing a short-wave infrared (SWIR) laser source based on optical parametric amplification. It is planned that this setup should be able to produce few-cycle laser pulses at 2μm with a stable carrier-envelope phase (CEP). READ MORE

  5. 5. A Comparative Study of Black-box Optimization Algorithms for Tuning of Hyper-parameters in Deep Neural Networks

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Skogby Steinholtz Olof; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Deep neural networks (DNNs) have successfully been applied across various data intensive applications ranging from computer vision, language modeling, bioinformatics and search engines. Hyper-parameters of a DNN are defined as parameters that remain fixed during model training and heavily influence the DNN performance. READ MORE
