  1. 1. Gravitational Collapse of a Massless Scalar Field in a Theory of Minimally Modified Gravity

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Atabak Fathe Jalali; [2024]
    Keywords : Theoretical physics; astrophysics; modified gravity; minimally modified gravity; gravitational collapse; VCDM; scalar collapse; apparent horizon; numerical relativity; Teoretisk fysik; astrofysik; modifierad gravitation; minimalt modifierad gravitation; gravitationskollaps; VCDM; skalär kollaps; uppenbar horisont; numerisk relativitet;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the spherically symmetric gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field in a minimally modified gravity theory denoted VCDM (V replaces $\Lambda$ in the $\Lambda$CDM abbreviation), a class of theories propagating the same degrees of freedom as general relativity at the expense of broken 4D diffeomorphism invariance. Numerical evolution of the equations of motion reveals that for small initial scalar profile amplitudes, no black hole forms from the collapse. READ MORE

  3. 2. Effects of phosphorylation on the ADP-ribosylation activity of PARP16

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Virginia Martín Cristóbal; [2023]
    Keywords : ADP-ribosylation; Kinases; PARP16; Phosphorylation; UPR biochemistry; Biochemistry; Chemistry;

    Abstract : PARP16/ARTD15 is an intracellular mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase that catalyzes auto- and heteromodification by transfer of a single ADP-ribose moiety. It belongs to the ADP-ribosyltransferase (ART) superfamily. READ MORE

  4. 3. Finding new members of the VelHel-4 stream

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Lucas Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : Galactic Archaeology; Milky Way; Stellar Streams; Streams; Stellar Halo; Stars; Globular Cluster; Astronomy; Astrophysics; Gaia; Chemical Abundance; Spectroscopy;

    Abstract : According to the paradigm of lambda-CDM cosmology, the stellar halo ofour Galaxy has been built-up over time through the accretion of other galaxiesand star clusters. The remnants of some of these are still observable today asstellar streams, but are typically very faint and difficult to resolve amidst the farmore numerous foreground Milky Way stars. READ MORE

  5. 4. Functional Programming Languages and the JVM : Comparing Functional Language Compilation Techniques for the JVM

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Asta Olofsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Compilation; Functional Programming; Java; Kompilering; Funktionell Programmering; Java;

    Abstract : Because of its security, high availability, and automatic memory management, the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is a desirable execution environment. However, since the JVM was originally made for Java, which is an objectoriented language, it is hard for languages with other paradigms to run on it. READ MORE

  6. 5. Transverse Momentum Spectra in pp collisions (\sqrt{s}\) = 7 TeV and \(\sqrt{s}\) = 13 TeV in ALICE

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

    Author : Andreas Stokkeland; [2023]
    Keywords : Multiplicity; Multiplicity classes; Soft interactions; Quark Gluon Plasma; QGP; transverse momentum; p_T; Chi-squared; fits; fit functions; Levy; Lévy; Exponential; BGBW; Boltzmann-Gibbs blast-wave; Fermi-Dirac; Bose-Einstein; Boltzmann; pion; kaon; proton; transverse momentum spectra; p_T spectra; surface velocity; Minimum Bias; MB; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this project particle production as a function of transverse momentum (\(p_{\rm T}\)) in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy (\(\sqrt{s}\)) of 7 TeV and 13 TeV has been studied. The transverse momentum is interesting to study since it reflects momentum created in the collision (before the collision, all momentum is in the beam - going in a longitudinal direction) and therefore gives information on the collision dynamics.
