Global ULF Waves Excited by Solar Wind Dynamic Pressure Impulses: 1. Timescales and Geomagnetic Activity Dependence
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Solar wind dynamic pressure pulse is one of the sources of ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves. Based on 1-second resolution magnetic field observations from SuperMAG from 2012 to 2019, we conducted a statistical study on ... -
Global ULF Waves Excited by Solar Wind Dynamic Pressure Impulses: 2. The Spatial Distribution Asymmetry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Asymmetry is a prevalent characteristic in numerous space physics phenomena. In this study, we investigate the statistical properties and spatial variations of ultra-low frequency power globally after positive dynamic ... -
Global Λ polarization in high energy collisions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03-14)With a Yang-Mills flux-tube initial state and a high-resolution (3+1)D particle-in-cell relativistic (PICR) hydrodynamics simulation, we calculate the Λ polarization for different energies. The origination of polarization ... -
A Golden-Channel Higgs Decay
(Master thesis, 2011-06-01)With a Higgs mass greater than 190 GeV and lower than 300 GeV, the decay channel H --> ZZ --> 4l becomes what is referred to as the golden channel for Higgs decay (clean signal). Suppose a pair of on shell Zs with an ... -
GPS scintillation and irregularities at the front of an ionization tongue in the nightside polar ionosphere
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10)In this paper we study a tongue of ionization (TOI) on 31 October 2011 which stretched across the polar cap from the Canadian dayside sector to Svalbard in the nightside ionosphere. The TOI front arrived over Svalbard ... -
GPS Scintillations and Losses of Signal Lock at High Latitudes During the 2015 St. Patrick's Day Storm
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09)We investigate the Global Positioning System (GPS) amplitude and phase scintillations during a severe geomagnetic storm on 17 March 2015. The auroral oval expanded significantly due to a strongly southward interplanetary ... -
GPS Scintillations and TEC Variations in Association With a Polar Cap Arc
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A unique example of a polar cap arc producing clear amplitude and phase scintillations in GPS L-band signals is presented using observations from an all-sky imager and a GPS receiver and a digital ionosonde at Resolute Bay ... -
GPS scintillations associated with cusp dynamics and polar cap patches
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)This paper investigates the relative scintillation level associated with cusp dynamics (including precipitation, flow shears, etc.) with and without the formation of polar cap patches around the cusp inflow region by the ... -
Graphene and graphene oxide on Ir(111) are transparent to wetting but not to icing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Anti-icing coatings reduce the freezing onset temperature for water by changing the chemical and physical environment at the water-substrate interface to prevent ice nucleation and growth. Graphene oxide has several ... -
Gravitino dark matter and the flavour structure of R-violating operators
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-06-15)We study gravitino dark matter and slow gravitino decays within the framework of R-violating supersymmetry, with particular emphasis on the flavour dependence of the branching ratios and the allowed R-violating couplings. ... -
Gravitino Dark Matter with Entropy Production constrained by Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
(Master thesis, 2016-12-16)We are looking at a gravitino dark matter scenario with a general neutralino next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle. We are considering the primary decay channels of the neutralino, and we define the supersymmetric ... -
Grid sensitivity simulation of low salinity and polymer flooding
(Master thesis, 2015-05-31)Water flooding in a reservoir is a well- established recovery method used to maintain the reservoir pressure and to displace the oil towards the producing well. However, after water flooding there is still a substantial ... -
Ground-based and Satellite Remote Sensing of Atmospheric Aerosols and Ultraviolet Solar Radiation
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-04-08)Satellite remote sensed data have been used to determine the aerosol climatology and to investigate the influence of the aerosol index (AI) on the ultraviolet (UV) index in coastal land areas in Serrekunda (13.28◦ N, 16.34◦ ... -
Ground-based measurements of total ozone column amount with a multichannel moderate-bandwidth filter instrument at the Troll research station, Antarctica
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Combining information from several channels of the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU-UV) irradiance meter, one may determine the total ozone column (TOC) amount. A NILU-UV instrument has been deployed and operated ... -
