1. Exploring electroweak symmetry breaking in the scale-invariant Two-Higgs-Doublet Model
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisationAbstract : This thesis investigates the properties of a general scale-invariant Two-Higgs-Doublet Model and its phenomenological consequences with focus on the scalar sector. The concept suggests that introducing more CP-violation, both spontaneous and explicit, may make it possible to meet the Sakharov conditions and account for the Universe's baryon asymmetry. READ MORE

2. Phenomenological exploration of flavored Grand Unification through high-scale matching and renormalization group flow
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisationAbstract : The phenomenological success of the Standard Model (SM), and its unification of the electromagnetic and weak forces has inspired the search for a Grand Unified Theory (GUT), that dynamically reduces to the SM at low energies. In this work, we consider one such GUT, based on the trinification model [SU(3)]³ with an additional local SU(2) family symmetry, that is then broken directly to the gauge symmetry group of the SM.

3. An alternative explanation for scale-free speed correlations in starling flocks: coarse-graining in time
University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)Abstract : In a celebrated series of experimental observations, starling flocks have been shown to be characterized by scale-free, long-ranged spatial correlations in their velocity fluctuations. While this is expected for velocity orientation correlations on the basis of simple symmetry-breaking arguments, the same scaling-free behaviour for speed (i.e. READ MORE

4. Error propagation in nuclear models
University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : In this thesis we perform error analysis of a nuclear model based on density-functional theory developed in Lund. The Lund model allows us to perform calculations of nuclear spectra more efficiently by constructing a simple effective Hamiltonian reproducing the quadrupole deformation and pairing interaction strength parameters of a spherical Hartree-Fock reference functional.

5. Beyond the Gross-Pitaevskii Equation: A Perturbative Approach
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Teknisk fysik (CI)Abstract : We propose and implement a beyond Gross-Pitaevskii approach based on Many-Body Perturbation theory (MBPT) for the study of Bose-Einstein Condensate (BECs) ground states. Two partitions of the system Hamiltonian are considered. READ MORE
