In this dissertation, we investigate the approach of pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory to its continuum limit using the deconfinement temperature, six gradient scales, and six cooling scales. We find that cooling scales exhibit similarly...
The Big-Bang theory is the most widely accepted description of the origin of the Universe, creating elementary particles and synthesizing light nuclei up to mass-7 within the first few minutes of the Big-Bang. Its parameters have been...
The gas within dark matter halos of galaxies and clusters contains information about the baryon content of the universe that is not found anywhere else. Precise understanding of the nuances of this gas is critical to understanding the...
The rapid-proton capture process (rp-process) is a series of proton capture and beta-decay reactions that proceed up the proton rich side of the chart of nuclides. It is an important part of stellar nucleosynthesis, and responsible for...
Type II supernovae (SNe II) are excellent tools for studying stellar evolution, mass loss, cosmology, and to probe possible explosion mechanisms. By examining the spectroscopic diversity of SNe II, this thesis aims to improve the...
