Spontaneous symmetry breaking in the S3-symmetric scalar sector
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-02)We present a detailed study of the vacua of the S3-symmetric three-Higgs-doublet potential, specifying the region of parameters where these minimisation solutions occur. We work with a CP conserving scalar potential and ... -
Spontaneous symmetry breaking in three-Higgs-doublet \(S_3\)-symmetric models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The talk summarises work done by the authors consisting of a detailed study of the possible vacua in models with three Higgs doublets with \(S_3\) symmetry and without explicit CP violation. Different vacua require special ... -
Stabilization of circular Rydberg atoms by circularly polarized infrared laser fields
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-09-29)The ionization dynamics of circular Rydberg states in strong circularly polarized infrared (800 nm) laser fields is studied by means of numerical simulations with the time-dependent Schr¨odinger equation. We find that at ... -
Stages in the dynamics of hydrate formation and consequences for design of experiments for hydrate formation in sediments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Natural gas hydrates in sediments can never reach thermodynamic equilibrium. Every section of any hydrate-filled reservoir is unique and resides in a stationary balance that depends on many factors. Fluxes of hydrocarbons ... -
Statistical Analysis of Bifurcating Region 2 Field-Aligned Currents Using AMPERE
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)We present a statistical analysis of the occurrence of bifurcations of the Region 2 (R2) Field-Aligned Current (FAC) region, observed by the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment (AMPERE). ... -
A statistical study of polar cap flow channels and their IMF by dependence
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)An algorithm to detect high-speed ionospheric flow channels (FCs) in the polar cap was applied to data from the Longyearbyen radar of the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network. The Longyearbyen radar is at high latitude (78.2°N, ... -
A statistical study of polar cap flow channels observed in both hemispheres using SuperDARN radars
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)This paper details the first large-scale, interhemispheric statistical study into ionospheric fast flow (>900 m/s) channels in the polar cap using the SuperDARN radar network. An automatic algorithm was applied to 6 years ... -
Statistical Study of the Relationship Between Ion Upflow and Field-Aligned Current in the Topside Ionosphere for Both Hemispheres During Geomagnetic Disturbed and Quiet Time
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A statistical study of ion upflow and field‐aligned currents (FACs) has been performed in the topside ionosphere of both hemispheres for magnetic quiet and disturbed times by using DMSP satellite observations from 2010–2013. ... -
Statistical Temporal Variations in the Auroral Electrojet Estimated With Ground Magnetometers in Fennoscandia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We present the implementation of an improved technique to coherently model the high-latitude ionospheric equivalent current. Using a fixed selection of 20 ground magnetometers in Fennoscandia, we present a method based on ... -
Statistical Tools for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The development of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) unveiled the sky in the teraelectronvolt regime, initiating the so-called “TeV revolution”, at the beginning of the new millennium. This revolution was ... -
Storing CO2 as solid hydrate in shallow aquifers: Electrical resistivity measurements in hydrate-bearing sandstone
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A recent proposed carbon dioxide (CO2) storage scheme suggests solid CO2 hydrate formation at the base of the hydrate stability zone to facilitate safe, long-term storage of anthropogenic CO2. These high-density hydrate ... -
Strange particle production in proton–proton collisions at s=09 with ALICE at the LHC The ALICE Collaboration
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-03-30)The production of mesons containing strange quarks (, φ) and both singly and doubly strange baryons (, , and ) are measured at mid-rapidity in pp collisions at s = 0.9 TeV with the ALICE experiment at the LHC. The results ... -
A strategy for a general search for new phenomena using data-derived signal regions and its application within the ATLAS experiment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-06)This paper describes a strategy for a general search used by the ATLAS Collaboration to find potential indications of new physics. Events are classified according to their final state into many event classes. For each event ... -
Student discussions during Peer Instruction lectures in physics: do students follow the given rules for discussion?
(Master thesis, 2022-12-20)In modern physics education, Peer Instruction has been established as an excellent method of effectively engaging students in the course material. In Peer Instruction lectures, students are introduced to a conceptual ... -
Studier av algoritmer for tau-identifikasjon
(Master thesis, 2010-05-31)Mange signaturer for ny fysikk i ATLAS vil henfalle til eit eller fleire tau-lepton. Derfor har ATLAS utvikla verktøy for identifikasjon av tau-lepton som henfall eit eller fleire pion. Verktøya er kompliserte og inneheld ... -
