Understanding the nature of Dark Matter is a key goal in modern physics. The observed gravita-tional interactions of galaxies and galactic clusters, along with theories of structure formation in the early universe, indicate ...

The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a 3 TeV linear electron-positron collider which is proposed to operate with loaded accelerating gradients up to 100 MV/m. These high gradients are accompanied by high field phenomena ...

This project aims to develop a data-driven technique for the estimation of the dominant background contribution in the inclusive search for new physics signals where equally charged lepton pairs are featured in the final ...

Globular clusters (GCs), compact stellar systems orbiting in and around galaxies, are natural laboratories to study a diverse range of astrophysical processes. The current stellar population of the oldest GCs in our ...

Biochemical processes are conducted by interactions of individual molecules that comprise cells. It is the transient physical shape of proteins that dictates their specific functionality. However, imaging individual instances ...

The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 has opened up a new sector of particle physics to measurements of yet undiscovered couplings. Measurements of the numerous couplings of the Higgs boson - primarily through studies ...

In recent years, several measurement of the ratios R(D) = B(B ̄ → Dτ−ν ̄τ )/B(B ̄ → Dl−ν ̄l )andR(D∗)=B(B ̄→D∗τ−ν ̄τ )/B(B ̄→D∗l−ν ̄l ),whereldenotesanelectron or a muon, have obtained results in disagreement with the ...

This dissertation demonstrates the optical trapping and direct tracking of single nanoparticles using a plasmonic double nanohole aperture in a gold film and an all-silicon nanoantenna on a silicon substrate. For both ...

The field of genetics has grown rapidly since the isolation of the double helix complex, DNA, that provides the genetic code behind all known life. The development of methods that allow this code to be read, and more ...

The search for and characterisation of galaxies at high-redshift is a very active topic in Astrophysics. Thanks to advances in observations from space, the redshift frontier is approaching the epoch of formation of first ...
