Variance, Skewness & Kurtosis: results from the APM Cluster Redshift Survey and model predictions

description: We estimate the variance $\xibar_2$, the skewness $\xibar_3$ and the kurtosis $\xibar_4$ in the distribution of density fluctuations in a complete sample from the APM Cluster Redshift Survey with 339 clusters and a mean depth $ \sim 250\Mpc$. We are able to measure the statistics of fluctuations in spheres of radius $R \simeq 5-80 \Mpc$, with reasonable errorbars. The statistics in the cluster distribution follow the hierarchical pattern $\xibar_J=S_J~\xibar_2^{J-1}$ with $S_J$ roughly constant, $S_3 \simeq 2$ and $S_4 \sim 8$. We analyse the distribution of clusters taken from N-body simulations of different dark matter models. The results are compared with an alternative method of simulating clusters which uses the truncated Zel'dovich approximation. We argue that this alternative method is not reliable enough for making quantitative predictions of $\xibar$. The N-body simulation results follow similar hierarchical relations to the observations, with $S_J$ almost unaffected by redshift distortions from peculiar motions. The standard $Ω=1$ Cold Dark Matter (CDM) model is inconsistent with either the second, third or fourth order statistics at all scales. However both a hybrid Mixed Dark Matter model and a low density CDM variant agree with the $\xibar_J$ observations.

description: An electric field that builds in the direction against current, known as negative nonlocal resistance, arises naturally in viscous flows and is thus often taken as a telltale of this regime. Here we predict negative resistance for the ballistic regime, wherein the ee collision mean free path is greater than the length scale at which the system is being probed. Therefore, negative resistance alone does not provide strong evidence for the occurrence of the hydrodynamic regime; it must thus be demoted from the rank of a smoking gun to that of a mere forerunner. Furthermore, we find that negative response is log-enhanced in the ballistic regime by the physics related to the seminal Dorfman-Cohen log divergence due to memory effects in the kinetics of dilute gases. The ballistic regime therefore offers a unique setting for exploring these interesting effects due to electron interactions.

description: Motivated by recent measurements of the major components of the cosmic radiation around 10 TeV/nucleon and above, we discuss the phenomenology of a model in which there are two distinct kinds of cosmic ray accelerators in the galaxy. Comparison of the spectra of hydrogen and helium up to 100 TeV per nucleon suggests that these two elements do not have the same spectrum of magnetic rigidity over this entire region and that these two dominant elements therefore receive contributions from different sources.

Turbulent Convection in Thin Accretion Disks

Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A self-consistent solution for a thin accretion disk with turbulent convection is presented. The disk viscosity and the convective flux are derived from a physical model for turbulence, and expressed in terms of the local physical conditions of the disk which, in turn, are controlled by the former two. In the gas pressure region, two distinct solutions are obtained. In one, the convective flux is much larger than the radiative flux and the blackbody region extends over the entire gas pressure region and could also extend down to the inner boundary of the disk. In this solution the temperature profile is close to adiabatic. In the other solution, the convective flux is about a third of the total flux, and there exist the gas pressure blackbody and electron scattering regions as well as the radiation pressure region. In the radiation pressure region, the temperature profile is very close to adiabatic, and the disk is geometrically thin and optically thick even for super Eddington accretion rates. The fraction of the convective flux, out of the total flux, increases with the accretion rate, and for accretion rates comparable to the Eddington limit is close to 1. This variation stabilizes the, radiation pressure region, so that the disk regions are secularily stable.

A hybrid ring design in the storage-ring proton electric dipole moment experiment

description: A new, hybrid design is proposed to eliminate the main systematic errors in the frozen spin, storage ring measurement of the proton electric dipole moment. In this design, electric bending plates steer the particles, and magnetic focusing replaces electric. The magnetic focusing should permit simultaneous clock-wise and counter-clock-wise storage to cancel systematic errors related to the out-of-plane dipole electric field. Errors related to the quadrupole electric fields can be eliminated by successive runs of magnetic focusing with different strengths.

Numerical schemes and Monte Carlo techniques for Greeks in stochastic volatility models
Creators: name: Mihaylov, Ivo
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: The main objective of this thesis is to propose approximations to option sensitivities in stochastic volatility models. The first part explores sequential Monte Carlo techniques for approximating the latent state in a Hidden Markov Model. These techniques are applied to the computation of Greeks by adapting the likelihood ratio method. Convergence of the Greek estimates is proved and tracking of option prices is performed in a stochastic volatility model. The second part defines a class of approximate Greek weights and provides high-order approximations and justification for extrapolation techniques. Under certain regularity assumptions on the value function of the problem, Greek approximations are proved for a fully implementable Monte Carlo framework, using weak Taylor discretisation schemes. The variance and bias are studied for the Delta and Gamma, when using such discrete-time approximations. The final part of the thesis introduces a modified explicit Euler scheme for stochastic differential equations with non-Lipschitz continuous drift or diffusion; a strong rate of convergence is proved. The literature on discretisation techniques for stochastic differential equations has been motivational for the development of techniques preserving the explicitness of the algorithm. Stochastic differential equations in the mathematical finance literature, including the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross, the 3/2 and the Ait-Sahalia models can be discretised, with a strong rate of convergence proved, which is a requirement for multilevel Monte Carlo techniques.

description: The discovery of the peculiar supernova (SN) 1998bw and its possible association with the gamma-ray burst (GRB) 980425$^{1,2,3}$ provide new clues to the understanding of the explosion mechanism of very massive stars and to the origin of some classes of gamma-ray bursts. Its spectra indicate that SN~1998bw is a type Ic supernova$^{3,4}$, but its peak luminosity is unusually high compared with typical type Ic supernovae$^3$. Here we report our findings that the optical spectra and the light curve of SN 1998bw can be well reproduced by an extremely energetic explosion of a massive carbon+oxygen (C+O) star. The kinetic energy is as large as $\sim 2-5 \times 10^{52}$ ergs, more than ten times the previously known energy of supernovae. For this reason, the explosion may be called a `hypernova'. Such a C+O star is the stripped core of a very massive star that has lost its H and He envelopes. The extremely large energy, suggesting the existence of a new mechanism of massive star explosion, can cause a relativistic shock that may be linked to the gamma-ray burst.

THE ORIGIN OF COSMIC RAYS
Creators: name: Biermann, Peter L.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose that cosmic rays originate mainly in three sites, a) normal supernova explosions into the interstellar medium, b) supernova explosions into stellar winds, and c) hot spots of powerful radio galaxies. The proposal depends on an assumption about the scaling of the turbulent diffusive transport in cosmic ray mediated shock regions; the proposal also uses a specific model for the interstellar transport of cosmic rays. The model has been investigated in some detail and compared to i) the radio data of OB stars, Wolf Rayet stars, radio supernovae, radio supernova remnants, Gamma-ray line and continuum emission from starforming regions, and the cosmic ray electron spectrum, ii) the Akeno air shower data over the particle energy range from 10 TeV to EeV, and iii) the Akeno and Fly's Eye air shower data from 0.1 EeV to above 100 EeV. Here we specifically discuss in some detail the assumptions inherent in the model proposed, concerning the transport of energetic particles, first in the acceleration region, and second in the Galaxy.

Urban green space management for invertebrates and house sparrows
Creators: name: Weir, Jacqueline Elizabeth Sara
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Urban house sparrow nestlings can develop poorly through lack of invertebrate food (Peach et al., 2008). Productivity can be increased by providing invertebrates (Peach, Sheehan & Kirby, 2014; Peach et al. in press). This study tested the effectiveness of three habitat treatments in increasing invertebrates and seeds in London parks, and their usage by house sparrows. Treatments were: annually sown ‘wildlife seed’ plots; sown perennial wildflower meadows; and existing grass grown taller. Treatment establishment and seed abundance were assessed by vegetation measurements, and practicality qualitatively assessed through questionnaires. Invertebrate abundance and variety were measured using sweep netting and vacuum sampling, and relationships tested with treatment type and modelled air pollution levels. Bird usage, and local house sparrow populations and productivity, were monitored over three years and relationships tested with treatments and air pollution. All treatments provided more invertebrates and seed than short grass. Wildlife seed plots contained the most seed during both autumn and winter. Wildflower meadows supported the most invertebrates, while each treatment benefited particular groups. Invertebrate variety at family level was highest in wildflower meadows and wildlife seed plots, probably through increased plant diversity. Abundance for numerous groups related positively to sward height. Varied vegetation structure should benefit the most invertebrate groups. Wildlife seed plots were most used by house sparrows, largely in the breeding season for invertebrates, while wildflower meadows were not used. Open vegetation structure probably permitted birds access. Wildlife seed plots may have buffered colonies against breeding season food shortages in one year. No strong relationships were found between invertebrate abundance and air pollution. Relationships between house sparrow population parameters and air pollution were mixed. Heterogeneous vegetation structure is important for invertebrates, and for bird access to food. Habitat homogenisation at various scales, combined with other pressures, may contribute to limiting urban house sparrow populations.

Our images reveal the circumstellar dust shell extending out to approximately 5" from the star. By fitting two multi-parameter models to the data, we find values for the dust shell inner radius, the temperature at this radius, the percentage flux produced by the circumstellar material at each of our wavelengths, and the radial dependence of the dust mass density. We present profiles of the mean surface brightness as a function of radius and the power detected from within annular rings as a function of radius.

Improving ablation outcomes in atrial fibrillation: improving procedural efficacy, safety, and patient selection
Creators: name: Wynn, Gareth
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major health problem, affecting 1-2% of the population. AF reduces quality of life (QoL) and increases morbidity and mortality. Catheter ablation (CA) is the most efficacious means of restoring sinus rhythm but is not always successful and is occasionally associated with serious complications. Several questions are currently unanswered. True procedural effectiveness, particularly long-term, remains uncertain, especially in more advanced disease. The best technique for achieving success remains an issue of considerable debate and as yet, few, if any, means exist to predict when acute electrical success will translate into sustained clinical benefit. CA is indicated for symptomatic relief but QoL, both as a treatment outcome and as a guide to patient selection, has generally been overlooked in the published literature. Finally, although the maxim, “First, do no harm” may often be ascribed erroneously to Hippocrates, it remains a central tenet of medical practice. However, little previous research has focussed on improving the safety of CA. I have attempted to tackle these issues from a number of angles. I have performed a comprehensive literature review and a retrospective analysis of ablation outcomes at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, the largest and longest such data from the UK, to ascertain a comprehensive, up-to-date assessment of practice. In an effort to improve procedural success, I carried out a multicentre randomised controlled trial testing two ablation strategies. A sub-study tests the hypothesis that clinical outcomes can be predicted by a novel measure of effective ablation. Two further studies aim to improve safety, through use of ultrasound to guide venous access, and to better understand QoL in AF – a theme throughout the thesis – which may help improve selection of appropriate patients for CA. Together, I hope these studies will help physicians improve the outcomes of CA for their patients.

description: We have systematically analyzed a sample of 13 new and archival ROSAT PSPC observations of compact groups of galaxies: 12 Hickson Compact Groups plus the NCG 2300 group. We find that approximately two-thirds of the groups have extended X-ray emission and, in four of these, the emission is resolved into diffuse emission from gas at a temperature of $k$T $\sim 1$ keV in the group potential. All but one of the groups with extended emission have a spiral fraction of less than 50\%. The baryon fraction of groups with diffuse emission is 5--19\%, similar to the values in clusters of galaxies. However, with a single exception (HCG 62), the gas-to-stellar-mass ratio in our groups has a median value near 5\%, somewhat greater than the values for individual early-type galaxies and two orders of magnitude lower than in clusters of galaxies. The X-ray luminosities of individual group galaxies are comparable to those of similar field galaxies, although the L$_X$-L$_B$ relation for early-type galaxies may be flatter in compact groups than in the field.

description: Solutions to the energy-independent (gray) radiative transfer equations are compared to results of Monte Carlo simulations of the \Ni and \Co radioactive decay \GR energy deposition in supernovae. The comparison shows that an effective, purely absorptive, gray opacity, \KG $\sim (0.06 \pm 0.01)Y_e$ cm$^2$ g$^{-1}$, where $Y_e$ is the total number of electrons per baryon, accurately describes the interaction of \GRs with the cool supernova gas and the local \GR energy deposition within the gas. The nature of the \GR\ interaction process (dominated by Compton scattering in the relativistic regime) creates a weak dependence of \KG on the optical thickness of the (spherically symmetric) supernova atmosphere: The maximum value of \KG applies during optically thick conditions when individual \GRs undergo multiple scattering encounters and the lower bound is reached at the phase characterized by a total Thomson optical depth to the center of the atmosphere \te \LA 1. Our results quantitatively confirm that the quick and efficient solution to the gray transfer problem provides an accurate representation of \GR energy deposition for a broad range of supernova conditions.

Measuring Molecular, Neutral Atomic, and Warm Ionized Galactic Gas Through X-Ray Absorption
Creators: name: Arabadjis, John S.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We study the column densities of neutral atomic, molecular, and warm ionized Galactic gas through their continuous absorption of extragalactic X-ray spectra at |b| > 25 degrees. For N(H,21cm) < 5x10^20 cm^-2 there is an extremely tight relationship between N(H,21cm) and the X-ray absorption column, N(xray), with a mean ratio along 26 lines of sight of N(xray)/N(H,21cm) = 0.972 +- 0.022. This is significantly less than the anticpated ratio of 1.23, which would occur if He were half He I and half He II in the warm ionized component. We suggest that the ionized component out of the plane is highly ionized, with He being mainly He II and He III. In the limiting case that H is entirely HI, we place an upper limit on the He abundance in the ISM of He/H <= 0.103. At column densities N(xray) > 5x10^20 cm^-2, which occurs at our lower latitudes, the X-ray absorption column N(xray) is nearly double N(H,21cm). This excess column cannot be due to the warm ionized component, even if He were entirely He I, so it must be due to a molecular component. This result implies that for lines of sight out of the plane with |b| ~ 30 degrees, molecular gas is common and with a column density comprable to N(H,21cm). This work bears upon the far infrared background, since a warm ionized component, anticorrelated with N(H,21cm), might produce such a background. Not only is such an anticorrelation absent, but if the dust is destroyed in the warm ionized gas, the far infrared background may be slightly larger than that deduced by Puget et al. (1996).

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The search for the origin of cosmic rays is a quest of almost a hundred years. A recent theoretical proposal gives quantitative predictions, which can be tested with data. Specifically, it has been suggested, that all cosmic rays can be attributed to just three source sites: i) supernova explosions into the interstellar medium, ii) supernova explosions into a stellar wind, and iii) powerful radiogalaxies. The cosmic rays from any extragalactic source suffer from interaction with the microwave background, leading to the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cutoff. While the particle energies, the spectrum and the chemical composition of cosmic rays over the energy range from about GeV to about 100 EeV can be interpreted in the theory, there are exciting measurements now: New measurements show that there are cosmic ray events beyond the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cutoff. We discuss here possible sources, and specifically ask whether powerful radiogalaxies are suitable candidates. The basic concepts used here are the minimal hypothesis that the intergalactic magnetic field is given by the galaxy distribution, and the observation that radio galaxies also cluster like galaxies.

description: We present results from an extensive HST spectroscopic search for UV absorption lines in the spectrum of the quasar B2~1028+313, which is associated with the central dominant galaxy in the cluster Abell~1030 ($z=0.178$). This is one of the brightest known UV continuum sources located in a cluster, and therefore provides an ideal opportunity to obtain stringent constraints on the column densities of any cool absorbing gas that may be associated with the intracluster medium (ICM). Our HST spectra were obtained with the FOS and GHRS, and provide continuous coverage at rest-frame wavelengths from $\sim 975$ to 4060~Å, thereby allowing the investigation of many different elements and ionization levels. We utilize a new technique that involves simultaneous fitting of large numbers of different transitions for each species, thereby yielding more robust constraints on column densities than can be obtained from a single transition. This method yields upper limits of $\lesssim 10^{11} - 10^{13}$ cm$^{-2}$ on the column densities of a wide range of molecular, atomic and ionized species that may be associated with the ICM. We also discuss a possible \Lya and C IV absorption system associated with the quasar. We discuss the implications of the upper limits on cool intracluster gas in the context of the physical properties of the ICM and its relationship to the quasar.

Gradient theories for scale dependent material simulations
Creators: name: Phunpeng, Veena
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Since composite materials have been developed, many types of materials (e.g. carbon fibre, carbon nanotubes (CNTs)) can be embedded in a standard matrix in order to obtain materials with enhanced physical properties. To investigate enhanced properties of nano-composites, not only mechanical properties but also electrical properties should be taken into account. Furthermore, at the nano-scale, covalent forces between atoms play a crucial role in their behaviour. This thesis is focused on eletromechanical effects (i.e. piezoelectricity and flexoelectricity) and the size effect in micro/nano materials. The aim is to implement continuum modelling solutions for nonlocal/gradient elastic problems in which size effect plays a significant role in material behaviour. The FEniCS Project is used to provide a novel tool for automated solutions of partial differential equations (PDE) by the finite element method. In particular, it offers significant flexibility with regards to discretization choices for triangular elements. When implementing a nonlocal/strain gradient elastic framework using FEniCS, a weak form of the gradient elasticity derived from the Principal of Virtual Work (PVW) is required. Due to the fourth order PDE in term of displacements in the gradient elasticity, C1 continuous elements (e.g. Hermitian finite element) are usually required. However, to avoid the use of C1 continuous elements, an equivalent mixed-type finite element formulation is considered. To investigate the material behaviour, strain gradient finite element formulations based on a mixed variational approach are used. Numerical results are compared with analytical solutions or experimental data to confirm the convergence and accuracy of the simulations. To extend the capability of the implementation to allow the modelling of nanocomposites efficiently, Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is introduced. By increasing mesh density only around the discontinuities, the resulting program runs faster than if a finer mesh had been used everywhere, with the additional benefit that more accurate results are obtained.

description: Honey is widely used in traditional medicine and modern wound healing biomaterial research as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent. The study's objectives were to evaluate the antibacterial activity and polyphenolic profiles of 40 monofloral honey samples collected from beekeepers in the territory of Latvia. The antimicrobial and antifungal activity of Latvian honey samples were compared with commercial Manuka honey and the honey analogue sugar solutions-carbohydrate mixture and tested against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, clinical isolates Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases produced Escherichia coli, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated with the well-diffusion method (80% honey solution w/v) and microdilution method. The honey samples with the highest antimicrobial potential were tested to prevent biofilm development and activity against a preformed biofilm. The principal component analysis of the antimicrobial properties of honey samples vs. polyphenolic profile was performed. Eleven honey samples exhibited antibacterial activity to all investigated bacteria. The antibacterial effect of the samples was most significant on the Gram-positive bacteria compared to the studied Gram-negative bacteria. Latvian honey presents promising potential for use in wound healing biomaterials, opening the possibility of achieving long-term antibacterial effects.

description: It has become an increasingly common practice in modern science and engineering to collect samples of multiple network data in which a network serves as a basic data object. The increasing prevalence of multiple network data calls for developments of models and theories that can deal with inference problems for populations of networks. In this work, we propose a general procedure for hypothesis testing of networks and in particular, for differentiating distributions of two samples of networks. We consider a very general framework which allows us to perform test on large and sparse networks. Our contribution is two-fold: (1) We propose a test statistics based on the singular value of a generalized Wigner matrix. The asymptotic null distribution of the statistics is shown to follow the Tracy–Widom distribution as the number of nodes tends to infinity. The test also yields asymptotic power guarantee with the power tending to one under the alternative; (2) The test procedure is adapted for change-point detection in dynamic networks which is proven to be consistent in detecting the change-points. In addition to theoretical guarantees, another appealing feature of this adapted procedure is that it provides a principled and simple method for selecting the threshold that is also allowed to vary with time. Extensive simulation studies and real data analyses demonstrate the superior performance of our procedure with competitors.

description: A huge number of scholarly articles published every day in different domains makes it hard for the experts to organize and stay updated with the new research in a particular domain. This study gives an overview of a new approach, HierClasSArt, for knowledge aware hierarchical classification of the scholarly articles for mathematics into a predefined taxonomy. The method uses combination of neural networks and Knowledge Graphs for better document representation along with the meta-data information. This position paper further discusses the open problems about incorporation of new articles and evolving hierarchies in the pipeline. Mathematics domain has been used as a use-case.

description: A maximum entropy method (MEM) is presented for separating the emission due to different foreground components from simulated satellite observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR). In particular, the method is applied to simulated observations by the proposed Planck Surveyor satellite. The simulations, performed by Bouchet and Gispert (1998), include emission from the CMBR, the kinetic and thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effects from galaxy clusters, as well as Galactic dust, free-free and synchrotron emission. We find that the MEM technique performs well and produces faithful reconstructions of the main input components. The method is also compared with traditional Wiener filtering and is shown to produce consistently better results, particularly in the recovery of the thermal SZ effect.

description: Following a suggestion by Gasperini and Veneziano, that String Cosmology can be reconciled with Inflation and, hence, with the Standard Big Bang, we display an analytical solution which possesses four interesting properties: (1) it is non-singular; (2) it distinguishes the dynamics of the external scale factor, $a(t)$, from that of the internal one, $b(t)$; (3) it exhibits a non-monotonic behavior of $a(t)$; and (4) it stabilizes both Newton's constant and $b(t)$ (the latter to a finite, non-vanishing value). The interest of the non-monotonic evolution of $a(t)$ consists in the fact that it contains three phases of accelerated expansion, contraction and expansion before the final decelerated expansion which eventually becomes the Standard Big Bang. The total number of e-folds of the three accelerated eras can be calculated and tuned to fit the requests of observational astronomy.

COSMOLOGICAL ORIGIN OF QUASARS

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Quasars are the earliest objects known to exist. We examine their origin in the context of popular models for structure formation in the universe. We show that seeds for quasar black holes could have originated from the initial cosmological collapse of overdense regions with unusually small rotation. Most of these seeds have a mass of order 10^6 solar masses, just above the cosmological Jeans mass. For Cold Dark Matter cosmologies, we find of order one seed black hole per bright galaxy. After the galaxy forms, the seeds inside its bulge sink to the center by dynamical friction. We also describe a few empirical methods to study the properties of quasars and their environments. These include: probing quasar hosts through [C II] emission, finding quasar lifetimes from the ``proximity effect'' along two lines of sight, and measuring the amplitude of clustering at high redshifts through the detection of Lyman-alpha clouds beyond the quasar redshift.

Coupling single molecules to cryogenic optical fibre microcavities
Creators: name: Major, Kyle D.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Placing single emitters inside optical cavities provides a way of drastically modifying their interaction with the electric field. Such systems can be used to test our fundamental understanding of quantum electrodynamics and to develop devices that exploit this new found knowledge. This thesis describes work towards coupling single dye molecules to optical fibre microcavities at cryogenic temperatures. I present the design of an oven growth chamber and develop a method to grow cosublimated crystals of anthracene doped with dibenzoterrylene. I then describe the characterisation of these samples using a confocal microscope setup both at ambient and cryogenic temperatures. The samples grown show bright, stable, single emitters in a defined orientation in the anthracene crystals. By varying the growth parameters of the homebuilt crystal growing chamber, we can control the density of dibenzoterrylene molecules and grow at an optimum density to use these crystals in conjunction with optical fibre microcavities. I show how optical fibre microcavities have been developed that can be cooled to the liquid helium temperatures required to take advantage of the lifetime-limited emission from single dibenzoterrylene molecules, that only occurs below 4K. I also present cavity quantum electrodynamic simulations of the cavities, showing what we expect to see when we take reflection spectra of single molecules coupled to these cavities. In addition, I describe the optical setup that has been developed to take these measurements. I conclude with proposed improvements to the cavity setup that will enable these reflection spectra to be more easily taken. This will allow these molecule-cavity systems to be used as infrared single photon sources for quantum optics experiments.
