Measurement of Muon Neutrino Disappearance with the T2K Experiment
(2014)We describe the measurement of muon neutrino disappearance due toneutrino oscillation using the Tokai-2-Kamiokande (T2K) experiment's Run 1-4 (6.57×10<super>20</super> POT)data set. We analyze the data using ... -
Scalar Field Wave Dark Matter and Galactic Halos
(2021)The question of ``What is Dark Matter?" has been a focus of cosmological research since the turn of the 20th century. Though the composition of Dark Matter is unknown, the existence of Dark Matter is crucial to the modern ... -
Semiparametric Bayesian Regression with Applications in Astronomy
(2014)In this thesis we describe a class of Bayesian semiparametric models, known as Levy Adaptive Regression Kernels (LARK); a novel method for posterior computation for those models; and the applications of these models in ... -
The Einstein-Klein-Gordon Equations, Wave Dark Matter, and the Tully-Fisher Relation
(2015)We examine the Einstein equation coupled to the Klein-Gordon equation for a complex-valued scalar field. These two equations together are known as the Einstein-Klein-Gordon system. In the low-field, non-relativistic limit, ... -
Wave Dark Matter and Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
(2013)We explore a model of dark matter called wave dark matter (also known as scalar field dark matter and boson stars) which has recently been motivated by a new geometric perspective by Bray. Wave dark matter describes dark ...
