Principles of Beam Dumps (source)

Introductory notes on the particle physics of beam dump experiments.

Energy-Weighted Observable Correlators (source)

Introductory notes on energy weighted correlators and some simple generalizations, specializing to the process \(e^+ e^- \to\,\)hadrons.

Plus-Distributions (source)

Introductory notes on plus-distributions, a class of generalized functions which often make appearances in the regularization of perturbative quantum field theory.

Cosmological Collider Physics (source)

Introductory notes on cosmological collider physics, a way of thinking of potential cosmological signatures of physics beyond the standard model which is formally reminiscent of the ways we think about particle physics. I took these as part of a final project/presentation for Cora Dvorkin's 2020 class on cosmology at Harvard, Physics 212.

Hadrons (source)

Notes on hadrons taken in 2020 in preparation for MIT's oral exam for advancing to PhD candidacy.

The Higgs Boson (source)

Notes on the Higgs boson taken in 2020 in preparation for MIT's oral exam for advancing to PhD candidacy.

Unitarity (source)

Notes on unitarity taken in 2020 in preparation for MIT's oral exam for advancing to PhD candidacy.

\(T \bar{T}\) Deformation (source)

My final project for Washington Taylor's 2019 course on quantum field theory (QFT), 8.325, in which I provide a brief introductory discussion of \(T \bar{T}\) deformation: a way of slightly changing -- deforming -- a quantum field theory, which has particularly interesting properties in 2 dimensions.

Exploring Low-Dimensional Strings and Confinement (source)

My final project for Mark Srednicki's 2018 course on quantum field theory (QFT) at UCSB, Physics 221C, related to confinement in lower dimensional quantum field theories (QFTs).

Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics (source)

Notes on supersymmetric quantum mechanics for a final project/presentation in Gary Horowitz' 2018 quantum mechanics course (Physics 215C) at UCSB.
