  1. 1. Probing the Structure of Ionised ISM in Lyman-Continuum-Leaking Green Pea Galaxies with MUSE

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Chinmaya Nagar; [2023]
    Keywords : Emission-line ratio; Gaussian convolution; Green pea galaxies; ISM; Ionised ISM; Lyman continuum LyC ; Low-Redshift Lyman Continuum Survey LzLCS ; Lyman continuum emitter LCE ; LyC escape; LyC escape fraction; MUSE; MPDAF; Voronoi binning;

    Abstract : Lyman continuum (LyC) photons are known to be responsible for reionising the universe after the end of the Dark Ages, which marked a period called the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR). While these high-energy photons are thought to predominantly originate from young, hot, massive stars within the earliest galaxies, and contributions from high-energy sources like quasars and AGN, the origins of these photons are yet not well known and highly debated.

  3. 2. The Higgs Width in Higgs production in association with a W+ boson

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Wijeratne Mohandiramge Umashi Navisha Fernando; [2023]
    Keywords : Higgs boson; Higgs width; off-shell; on-shell; narrow-width approximation; MadGraph5_MC@NLO; W boson; supersymmetry; dark matter; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The width of the Higgs boson is a quantity that cannot be measured directly from the on-shell Higgs peak; it would have to be measured indirectly. In 2013, Caola and Melnikov developed a method to determine the Higgs width by using off-shell and on-shell cross-sections and applying the narrow-width approximation. READ MORE

  4. 3. Cold amplification and fiber coupling of a super-conducting nanowire single-photon detector

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Stéphane Cohen; [2022]
    Keywords : Applied Physics; Tilllämpad fysik;

    Abstract : Single-photon detectors are an essential tool for quantum photonics: one can harness the quantum properties of single photons for quantum communication as well as use the detectors in low illumination applications.Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors offer high detection efficiency over a widerange of wavelengths, low dark counts, and a good timing resolution compared to single-photonavalanche diodes.

  5. 4. Starbursts at Cosmic Dawn : Formation of Globular Clusters, Ultra-Faint Dwarfs, and Population III star clusters at z > 6

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för astronomi

    Author : Olof Nebrin; [2022]
    Keywords : Cosmology; Galaxy Formation; Globular Clusters; First Stars; Dark Matter; Cosmic Dawn; Reionization; Ultra-Faint Dwarfs;

    Abstract : In the standard model of cosmology (ΛCDM) the first stars, star clusters, and galaxies are expected to have formed in short bursts of star formation in low-mass dark matter halos at high redshifts (). Up to this point, attempts to predict the properties and abundances of these luminous objects have made use of numerically expensive cosmological simulations. READ MORE

  6. 5. Computational simulations of the Axion Longitudinal Plasma HAloscope

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Tove Klaesson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The quantum chromodynamics axion is a very light hypothetical particle that may simultaneously solve the dark matter and the strong CP problem. Recently, a new type of haloscope that can detect the resonant conversion of axions to photons was suggested, The Axion Longitudinal Plasma HAloscope (ALPHA). READ MORE
