Doctoral Dissertations
Hadronic jets are created in the earliest stages of a high energy collision due to a hard interaction between two partons. ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is one of the main detectors located at the Large Hadron Collider. By using the ALICE Time Projection Chamber and Electromagnetic Calorimeter inclusive jets can be reconstructed over a wide kinematic range. Measuring jets in proton-proton collisions serves as a baseline measurement for understanding energy loss in the nuclear matter and the processes by which quarks form into hadrons. Inclusive jet cross-sections and their ratios were measured in this thesis using the 8 …

Theory and Practice in Teacher Education Publications and Other Works
Science educators have begun to explore how students have opportunities to not only view and manipulate simulations, but also to analyze the complex sources of data they generate. While scholars have documented the characteristics and the effects of using simulations as a source of data in face-to-face, K-12 classrooms, how simulations can be taken up and used in such a way in fully-online classes is less-explored. In this study, we present results from our initial qualitative investigation of students’ use of a simulation in such a way across three lessons in an online, Advanced Placement high school physics class.
