    • Measurement of Muon Neutrino Disappearance with the T2K Experiment 

      Wongjirad, Taritree (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&times;10<super>20</super> POT)data set. We analyze the data using ...
    • Scalar Field Wave Dark Matter and Galactic Halos 

      Hamm, Benjamin (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 

      Broadbent, Mary Elizabeth (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 

      Goetz, Andrew Stewart (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 

      Parry, Alan Reid (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 ...
