  6. 4. First determination of the electric charge of the top quark

    Author : Per Hansson; Bengt Lund-Jensen; Peter Hansen; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the first determination of the electric charge of the top quark is presented using 370pb-1 of data recorded by the DØ detector at the Fermilab Tevatron accelerator. ttbar events are selected with one isolated electron or muon and at least four jets out of which two are b-tagged by reconstruction of a secondary decay vertex (SVT).

  7. 5. Numerical Modelling of Short Fatigue Crack Growth

    Author : Per Hansson; Mekanik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; discrete dislocation; Fatigue; grain boundary; short crack;

    Abstract : Fatigue implies repeated loading and unloading of a structure, and components subjected to fatigue might experience nucleation of cracks, and subsequent crack propagation. This might lead to catastrophic consequences, such as complete failure of a structure. READ MORE
