Experimental search for long-range forces in neutron scattering via a gravitational spectrometer

Serebrov, Anatoli P.; Geltenbort, Peter; Zherebtsov, O. M.; Sbitnev, S. V.; Varlamov, V. E.; Vassiljev, A. V.; Lasakov, M. S.; Krasnoschekova, I. A.; Ivanov, S. N.; Pushin, Dimitry A. (American Physical Society, 2014-04-09)

In this work we introduce a method of measuring low-energy scattering cross section with a gravitational spectrometer. In this method we add atoms (i.e., He) to the gravitational spectrometer filled with a target gas of ...
Instabilities in Higher-Dimensional Theories of Gravity

Hovdebo, Jordan (University of Waterloo, 2006)

A number of models of nature incorporate dimensions beyond our observed four. In this thesis we examine some examples and consequences of classical instabilities that emerge in the higher-dimensional theories of gravity ...
Physics in Higher-Dimensional Manifolds

Seahra, Sanjeev (University of Waterloo, 2003)

In this thesis, we study various aspects of physics in higher-dimensional manifolds involving a single extra dimension. After giving some historical perspective on the motivation for studying higher-dimensional theories ...
