R-parity violating chargino decays at the LHC
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12)Supersymmetric models with R-parity violation (RPV) have become more popular following the lack of any excess of missing energy events at the 8 TeV LHC. To identify such models, the suggested searches generally rely on the ... -
Radiation hard 3D silicon pixel sensors for use in the ATLAS detector at the HL-LHC
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) upgrade requires the planned Inner Tracker (ITk) of the ATLAS detector to tolerate extremely high radiation doses. Specifically, the innermost parts of the pixel system will have to withstand ... -

A Rapid Gamma-Ray Glow Flux Reduction Observed From 20 km Altitude
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Two gamma-ray glows were observed by a high-altitude NASA ER-2 aircraft flying at 20 km altitude over a thunderstorm in Colorado, USA. The flux of the first glow rapidly intensified and then abruptly decreased within a few ... -
Rapidity and transverse-momentum dependence of the inclusive J/\(mathbf{\psi}\) nuclear modification factor in p-Pb collisions at \(\mathbf{\sqrt{\textit{s}_{NN}}}=5.02\) TeV
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06)We have studied the transverse-momentum \(p_{\rm T}\) dependence of the inclusive J/\).psi\) production in p-Pb collisions at \(\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02\) TeV, in three center-of-mass rapidity \(y_{\rm cms}\) regions, ... -
Ratiometric Fluorescent pH Sensing with Carbon Dots: Fluorescence Mapping across pH Levels for Potential Underwater Applications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-02)Ocean acidification has become a major climate change concern requiring continuous observation. Additionally, in the industry, pH surveillance is of great importance. Consequently, there is a pressing demand to develop ... -
Reaching towards higher masses of supersymmetric particles decaying to tau leptons
(Master thesis, 2014-06-30)This thesis presents an optimisation of the search for SUSY in final states with one tau lepton, jets and missing transverse energy. The SUSY model considered is mSUGRA with the parameter values: A_0 = -2m0, tan(beta) = ... -
Reactive transport modelling of hydrate phase transition dynamics in porous media
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-03-27)Gas hydrate is believed to be so abundant in nature that some estimates suggest it contains more than two times equivalent energy of the whole fossil fuels on Earth. Besides, reservoir hydrates have other important aspects ... -
Reactive Transport of CO2 in Saline Aquifers with implicit geomechanical analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009)Geological storage of CO2 in saline aquifers is a promising way to reduce the concentration of the greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Injection of CO2 will, however, lead to dissolution of minerals in regions of lowered pH ... -
Readout Electronics for the Upgraded ITS Detector in the ALICE Experiment
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-06-03)ALICE is undergoing upgrades during the Long Shutdown (LS) 2 of the LHC to improve its performance and capabilities, and to prepare the experiment for the increases in luminosity provided by the LHC in Run 3 and Run 4. One ... -
Realistic mask generation for matter-wave lithography via machine learning
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Fast production of large-area patterns is crucial for the established semiconductor industry and enables industrial-scale production of next-generation quantum devices. Metastable atom lithography with binary holography ... -
