One of the goals is to obtain a fundamental understanding of the working principles of nanofluidic mass-transport which can be applied in a macroscopic setting. To this end, we have developed a model framework that combines electrostatics, ionic transport, hydrodynamics, bulk solution equilib- rium chemistry, and surface equilibrium chemistry. As detailed below, we use our model framework to analyze and interpret nanofluidic experiments and for theoretical predictions of novel nanofluidic phenomena. First, we investigate how the surface dissociation constants and Stern layer capacitance depend on the local environment in terms of surface coating. Thus, we study the behavior of both bare and cyanosilane coated silica nanochannels subjected to two independent experiments. One experiment is particularly in- teresting because it relies on capillary filling, so it avoids the use of external forcing such as electric fields. Basically, during the filling of nanochannels by capillary action, the advancing electrolyte is titrated by deprotonation from the surface. This is observed using the pH-sensitive fluorescent dye fluorescein. The method relies on the large surface-to-volume ratio in the nanochannel and is thus a great example of a novel nanofluidic technique. Additionally, these measure- ments are complemented by current-monitoring in which an externally driven electro-osmotic (EO) flow velocity is used to estimate the zeta potential of the wall. Together, the two experiments provide independent data that are inter- preted using our model framework. Solving the model self-consistently, while adjusting the low-value surface dissociation constant and the Stern capacitance, we obtain their dependence on the local surface condition in terms of surface coating. Second, we investigate the streaming current resulting from an applied pres- sure difference in bare and surface-coated silica nanochannels. The channels have a low aspect ratio. Thus, we develop an effective boundary condition for the surface chemistry and apply our model in the 2-D cross section. Theoretically, we use our model to investigate the effects of corners in nanochannels on the electrochemical properties of the surface. As above, the streaming-current mea- surements are supplemented by current-monitoring data, and our model predicts iv both streaming current and EO flow velocity using only parameters from the literature. Moreover, over 48 hours there is a steady rise in the streaming cur- rent which we ascribe to silica dissolution. Using our model, we estimate the dissolution rate as a function of buffer type and surface condition. Third, in bare silica nanochannels, our model predicts a hitherto unnoticed minimum in the electrical conductance as the salt concentration decreases. Our model predicts the behavior of the minimum in the conductance for different con- ditions including CO2 content, supporting buffer type, and nanochannel height. Notably, we find that the conductance minimum is mainly caused by hydronium ions, and in our case almost exclusively due to carbonic acid generated from the dissolution of CO2 from the atmosphere. We carry out delicate experiments and measure the conductance of silica nanochannels as a function of decreasing salt concentration. The measurements conform with the model prediction, both for a pure salt buffer and a buffer with extra hydronium ions added, in this case through HCl. In any case, the model prediction is supported by the appearance of the conductance minimum in several independent studies in the literature. Fourth, we use our model to predict a novel phenomenon called current- induced membrane discharge (CIMD) to explain over-limiting current in ion- exchange membranes. The model is based on dynamic surface charges in the membrane in equilibrium with the buffer. However, here we take the next step and consider strong out-of-equilibrium transport across the membrane. Our model predicts large pH variations in the electrodialysis system that in turn lowers the ion-selectivity of the membrane by protonation reactions. This opens up for sig- nificant over-limiting current. We use our model to investigate the dependence on reservoir concentration and pH. Even without fluid flow, CIMD predicts over- limiting current and even a suppression of the extended space charge layer and thus a suppression of the electro-osmotic instability. Future work will include comparison with experimental data which is a delicate procedure that requires much attention to the comparability between the conditions in the model and in the experiment. Finally, we make a small digression and study induced-charge electro-osmosis (ICEO) and the validity of common EO slip formulae as a function of a finite Debye screening length and the system geometry (here the metal-strip height). The slip models are strictly only valid in the limit of a vanishing screening length. Compared to a full boundary-layer resolving model, we show surprisingly large deviations even for relatively thin screening layers. Both slip models are based on the classical Helmholtz–Smoluchowski expression, and while one assumes a static screening layer, the other takes surface conduction into account. Resumé Denne afhandling omhandler grundlæggende aspekter ved masse-transport i na- nofluidik. Et af målene er at opnå en grundlæggende forståelse af de gældende principper for nanofluidisk masse-transport, som så kan anvendes i makroskopiske systemer. Til dette formål har vi udviklet en model der kombinerer elektrosta- tik, ion transport, hydrodynamik, ligevægtskemi i opløsning og ligevægtskemi på overflader. Som beskrevet nedenfor bruger vi vores model til at analysere og fortolke nanofluidik eksperimenter og til at lave teoretiske forudsigelser af nye nanofluidiske fænomener. For det første undersøger vi hvordan ligevægtskonstanter og Stern-kapacitans afhænger af det lokale overflademiljø i form af overfladebelægning. Vi studerer både rene og cyanosilane-belagte silika nanokaneler i to uafhængige eksperimen- ter. Et eksperiment er særligt interessant, idet det bygger på kapillærfyldning, så brugen af eksterne drivfelter, såsom elektriske felter, undgås. Kort sagt bliver elek- trolytten titreret af silika væggen under kapillærfyldningen. Vi observerer dette ved at anvende et pH-følsomt fluorescerende farvestof kaldet fluorescein. Metoden afhænger af det store overflade-til-volumen forhold i nanokanelen og er således et godt eksempel på en nyskabende nanofluidisk teknik. Disse kapillærfyldninger er derudover suppleret med strøm-overvågnings forsøg, hvori en eksternt drevet elektro-osmotisk (EO) strømning anvendes til at estimere zeta potentialet på væg- gen. Tilsammen giver de to eksperimenter uafhængig data, der fortolkes ved hjælp af vores model. Modellen løses selv-konsistent, medens værdien af ligevægtskon- stanten og Stern kapacitansen optimeres. Således får vi belyst disse parametres afhængighed af den lokale tilstand på overfladen i form af overfladebelægning. For det andet undersøger vi advektionsstrøm afledt af en påført trykforskel i rene og overfladebelagte silika nanokaneler. Kanalerne har et forhold mellem højde og bredde tæt på een. Vi har derfor udviklet en effektiv randbetingelse for overfladekemien og anvendt vores model i det 2-dimensionelle tværsnit. Vi bruger vores model til teoretisk at undersøge effekten af hjørner i nanokaneler på de elektrokemiske overfladeegenskaber. Som ovenfor er de advektionsstrømmålin- gerne suppleret med strøm-overvågnings forsøg og vores model forudsiger både advektionsstrømmen og EO strømningen kun ved brug af parametre fra littera- turen. Desuden er der i løbet af 48 timer en støt stigning i advektionsstrømmen, vi som vi tilskriver opløsning af silikaen. Ved brug af vores model estimerer vi op- løsningshastigheden som funktion af elektrolyt art

    126 EPJ Web of Conferences , 02024 (2016) DOI: 10.1051/epjconf/201612602024 ICNFP 2015 The MoEDAL experiment at the LHC Searching beyond the standard model James L. Pinfold (for the MoEDAL Collaboration)1,a 1 University of Alberta, Physics Department, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 0V1, Canada Abstract. MoEDAL is a pioneering experiment designed to search for highly ionizing avatars of new physics such as magnetic monopoles or massive (pseudo-)stable charged particles. Its groundbreaking physics program defines a number of scenarios that yield potentially revolutionary insights into such foundational questions as: are there extra dimensions or new symmetries; what is the mechanism for the generation of mass; does magnetic charge exist; what is the nature of dark matter; and, how did the big-bang develop. MoEDAL’s purpose is to meet such far-reaching challenges at the frontier of the field. The innovative MoEDAL detector employs unconventional methodologies tuned to the prospect of discovery physics. The largely passive MoEDAL detector, deployed at Point 8 on the LHC ring, has a dual nature. First, it acts like a giant camera, comprised of nuclear track detectors - analyzed offline by ultra fast scanning microscopes - sensitive only to new physics. Second, it is uniquely able to trap the particle messengers of physics beyond the Standard Model for further study. MoEDAL’s radiation environment is monitored by a state-of-the-art real-time TimePix pixel detector array. A new MoEDAL sub-detector to extend MoEDAL’s reach to millicharged, minimally ionizing, particles (MMIPs) is under study Finally we shall describe the next step for MoEDAL called Cosmic MoEDAL, where we define a very large high altitude array to take the search for highly ionizing avatars of new physics to higher masses that are available from the cosmos.

SMPs are defined such that they would be suffi- ciently long-lived so as to still exist in the cosmos either as Big Bang relics or secondary collision products, and sufficiently massive such that they are typically beyond the reach of any conceiv- able accelerator-based experiment. The discovery of SMPs would address a number of important questions in modern physics, such as the origin and composition of dark matter and the unifi- cation of the fundamental forces. This review outlines the scenarios predicting SMPs and the techniques used at non-collider experiments to look for SMPs in cosmic rays and bound in mat- ter. The limits so far obtained on the fluxes and matter densities of SMPs which possess various detection-relevant properties such as electric and magnetic charge are given.

  • Search for Supersymmetry Events with Two Same-Sign Leptons
    Search for supersymmetry events with two same-sign leptons Dissertation der Fakult¨atf¨urPhysik der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit¨atM¨unchen vorgelegt von Christian Kummer geboren in M¨unchen M¨unchen, im Januar 2010 1. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Dorothee Schaile 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Wolfgang D¨unnweber Tag der m¨undlichen Pr¨ufung: 09.03.2010 meiner Familie Abstract Supersymmetry is a hypothetic symmetry between bosons and fermions, which is broken by an unknown mechanism. So far, there is no experimental evidence for the existence of supersymmetric particles. Some Supersymmetry scenarios are predicted to be within reach of the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Col- lider. Final states with two isolated leptons (muons and electrons), that have same signs of charge, are suitable for the discovery of supersymmetric cascade decays. There are numerous supersymmetric processes that can yield final states with two same-sign or more leptons. Typically, these processes tend to have long cas- cade decay chains, producing high-energetic jets. Charged leptons are produced from decaying charginos and neutralinos in the cascades. If the R-parity is con- served and the lightest supersymmetric particle is a neutralino, supersymmetric processes lead to a large amount of missing energy in the detector. The most important Standard Model background for the same-sign dilepton channel is the semileptonic decay of top-antitop-pairs. One lepton originates from the leptonic decay of the W boson, the other lepton originates from one of the b quarks. Here, the neutrinos are responsible for the missing energy. The Standard Model background can be strongly reduced by applying cuts on the transverse momenta of jets, on the missing energy and on the lepton isolation.

  • Chapter 8. the Atomic Nucleus
    Chapter 8. The Atomic Nucleus Notes: • Most of the material in this chapter is taken from Thornton and Rex, Chapters 12 and 13. 8.1 Nuclear Properties Atomic nuclei are composed of protons and neutrons, which are referred to as nucleons. Although both types of particles are not fundamental or elementary, they can still be considered as basic constituents for the purpose of understanding the atomic nucleus. Protons and neutrons have many characteristics in common. For example, their masses are very similar with 1.0072765 u (938.272 MeV) for the proton and 1.0086649 u (939.566 MeV) for the neutron. The symbol ‘u’ stands for the atomic mass unit defined has one twelfth of the mass of the main isotope of carbon (i.e., 12 C ), which is known to contain six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus. We thus have that 1 u = 1.66054 ×10−27 kg (8.1) = 931.49 MeV/c2 . Protons and neutrons also both have the same intrinsic spin, but different magnetic moments (see below). Their main difference, however, pertains to their electrical charges: the proton, as we know, has a charge of +e , while the neutron has none, as its name implies. Atomic nuclei are designated using the symbol A Z XN , (8.2) with Z, N and A the number of protons (atomic element number), the number of neutrons, and the atomic mass number ( A = Z + N ), respectively, while X is the chemical element symbol. It is often the case that Z and N are omitted, when there is no chance of confusion.
