1. First Determination of the Electric Charge of the Top Quark and Studies of the Top Quark Pair Background to New Physics
Abstract : This thesis is concerned with experimental investigations of properties of the top quark and processes involving this particle. In the first part of the thesis, the first determination of the electric charge of the top quark is presented. READ MORE

2. Holographic descriptions of collective modes in strongly correlated media
Abstract : Solving the puzzle of high temperature superconductivity may be one of the most desired scientific breakthroughs of our time, as access to room temperature superconductivity could revolutionize society as we know it. In this thesis, we strive to increase the theoretical understanding of such matter, by studying the phase above, in temperature, the superconducting phase - the "strange metal". READ MORE

3. Phenomenology of Inert Scalar and Supersymmetric Dark Matter
Abstract : While the dark matter has so far only revealed itself through the gravitational influence it exerts on its surroundings, there are good reasons to believe it is made up by WIMPs – a hypothetical class of heavy elementary particles not encompassed by the Standard Model of particle physics. The Inert Doublet Model constitutes a simple extension of the Standard Model Higgs sector. READ MORE

4. Magnetic fields around massive protostars as traced by masers and dust emission
Abstract : It is not fully clear how the magnetic field acts during the first stages of star formation. A possible way to clarify its role is to observe the polarized light coming from masers and thermal dust emission. READ MORE

5. Calibration of the ATLAS calorimeters and discovery potential for massive top quark resonances at the LHC
Abstract : ATLAS is a multi-purpose detector which has recently started to take data at the LHC at CERN. This thesis describes the tests and calibrations of the central calorimeters of ATLAS and outlines a search for heavy top quark pair resonances. READ MORE
