1. Black Hole Dynamics in Stellar Clusters
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : Star clusters can harbour many exotic objects, including black holes (BHs), X-ray binaries and blue straggler stars. In dense stellar environments like globular clusters (GCs), two-body relaxation drives their dynamical evolution, where gravitational interactions between stars strive to equalize their kinetic energy in the cluster.

2. 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 omorganisationAbstract : 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.

3. The visibility of double neutron star binaries to LISA
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : Double neutron star binaries (DNSBs) in the mHz gravitational wave (GW) regime are an important group of objects which the GW detector LISA will be able to observe. The detection and parametrization of these objects will help develop our current understanding of neutron star formation and evolution. READ MORE

4. 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 omorganisationAbstract : 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

5. Cosmological probes of the early universe with Axions & Gravitational Waves
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysikAbstract : This thesis uses theoretical studies, and numerical simulations to provide results of the experimental reach to detect the QCD axion as dark matter in a Non-standard cosmological background. Assuming that the QCD axion constitutes the full CDM abundance of the universe, this thesis elaborates on its potential detection from experimental setups for the mass window of the axion. READ MORE
