Nowadays, the lithium-rich layered 3d-transition-metal (TM) oxides (LLOs) are regarded as one of the most attractive cathode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), because they can exhibit a discharge capacity (approaching 300 mAh g$^{-1}$ at 0.1 C) much higher than that of the currently used materials(~ 180 mAh g$^{-1}$at 0.1 C). However, the formation mechanism of LLOs has not been fully understood on a fundamental level yet.One of the most interesting and still open questionsis aboutlithium and oxygen atoms are incorporatedinto the precursor’s crystal structure during the synthesisoffinal LLO products.Asystematic exploration of this subject was conducted in this PhD work.

In the first part of this thesis we investigate the viability of a class of models for de Sitter (dS) vacua in string theory, due to Kachru, Kallosh, Linde and Trivedi (KKLT). We start by explaining why the success or failure of such models is sensitive to a large number of Planck suppressed operators, and collect circumstantial evidence that this UV sensitivity cannot be evaded with delicately engineered models such as the Kallosh-Linde (KL) racetrack due to a generic conflict with the weak gravity conjecture (WGC) for axions.

The underlying theme on which this Thesis develops is double parton scattering (DPS), which is a nucleon-nucleon scattering process in which two partons from each nucleon collide individually with one another to undergo two independent hard interactions. While these types of processes are usually suppressed with respect to theclassic single parton scattering (SPS), there are some circumstances in which DPS can give sizeable contributionsto the overall cross section, making DPS an important competitor to its SPS counterpart.

The coherent synthesis of pulses from Optical Parametric Amplifiers (OPAs) offers the possibility to realize field-controlled electromagnetic waveforms with sub-cycle durations, widely scalable in energy and spectral bandwidth.Here we demonstrate a fully functional prototype of a mJ-level two channel parametric waveform synthesizer, which is ready to be upgraded to three channels. The synthesized field, whose bandwidth covers more than 2 octaves, from ~500 nm to ~2200 nm, can be compressed to a non-sinusoidal sub-cycle waveform close to the transform-limit.The long term stable operation of such a complex laser source is achieved, for the first time, by means of a sophisticated optical and mechanical design of the whole OPA system, along with targeted improvements made to the commercial pump laser.A new seeding scheme based on multiple supercontinua, further scalable to the mid-IR, leads to excellent phase stability among the different OPA channels and to a simplified dispersion management scheme.A detailed study, both theoretical and experimental, of the couplings among different pulse parameters during the parametric amplification, unveiled novel details of the Carrier-Envelope-Phase (CEP) stabilization process via OPA, and guided the design of the CEP-controlled seeding front-end.A simplified two-dimensional spectral shearing interferometry setup, where the ancillary pulses are obtained by spectral filtering the pump pulses, has been developed to easily characterize the spectral phase of the ultrabroadband pulses from each channel, overcoming the limitation of second-harmonic-based methods.Furthermore, ad-hoc nonlinear optical techniques have been deployed to observe the most relevant synthesis parameters such as the CEP of the seeding pulses and the relative phase among the different channels outputs.

Silicon Pixel Detectors - Performance after Irradiation and Application in Three-dimensional Imaging
[DESY-THESIS-2019-030]
Hamburg : Verlag Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY-THESIS 251 pp. () [10.3204/PUBDB-2019-04814] = Dissertation, Universität Hamburg, 2019  GO
This dissertation addresses two applications of silicon pixel detectors as tracking devices, namely the applications in high energy physics experiments and in a novel tomographic technique termed material budget imaging.For current and future experiments in high energy physics, one of the main challenges for the development of silicon detectors is the immense radiation fluence received over the years of operation.In this thesis, the performance of silicon pixel detectors for the tracking detector of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment is investigated for fluences of up to $\Phi_{eq}= 1.39\times10^{15}$n/cm$^2$ close to the expected lifetime fluence of the innermost layer of the barrel pixel detector. Measurements conducted at the DESY II Test Beam Facility show, that the maximum collected charge is reduced significantly by the high radiation fluences, but that an efficiency of above 99 % can be maintained when applying reasonable bias voltages.The voltage required to fully deplete the sensor rises up to around 600 V.The effective Lorentz angle of unirradiated detector modules and a module irradiated to a fluence of $\Phi_{eq}= 4\times10^{14}$n/cm$^2$ was determined for various bias voltages using a 1.34 T magnetic field.The findings imply that the high bias voltages required for an efficient operation of radiation damaged pixel detectors will impair the resolution of the detector modules significantly.The second application investigated is the use of silicon pixel detectors for an imaging technique aiming to reconstruct the three-dimensional material distribution of arbitrary samples.Using the high-resolution EUDET-type Beam Telescopes available at the DESY II Test Beam Facility to measure the scattering angle of relativistic particles when traversing a sample allows for the determination of its projected material budget in two dimensions.A rotation of the sample and an inverse Radon transform facilitates a reconstruction of the sample's internal structure.Simulations of this technique are presented as well as the first acquired three-dimensional material budget images.The simulations and an evaluation of the underlying two-dimensional images indicate a possible resolution of this method of less than 20 $\mu$m at a sufficiently high contrast-to-noise ratio.The potential and the limits of material budget imaging as well as possible future applications and developments are discussed..

Search for high mass higgs bosons in the final state with $b$-quarks with the CMS 2016 data

Hamburg : Verlag Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY-THESIS 216 pp. () [10.3204/PUBDB-2019-01182] = Dissertation, Universität Hamburg, 2019  GO
A search for high mass Higgs bosons produced in association with at least one $b$-quark and decaying into a pair of $b$-quarks using the LHC Run 2 data collected by the CMS detector is presented. The corresponding data sample was accumulated during the proton-proton collisions in 2016 at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.7 fb$^{-1}$.An extended Higgs sector containing high mass Higgs states is predicted by many theories beyond the Standard Model, such as a general two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) and its realization in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM).In many scenarios within these models Higgs couplings to $b$-quarks are significantly enhanced and therefore the final state exploited in this work is of particular interest.From the experimental point of view this final state leads to at least three highly energetic $b$-jets in the event, of which the two with the highest transverse momentum, are assumed to originate from the Higgs boson decay and another one comes from the associated production mechanism.

Higher-Order-Mode-based Beam Phase and Beam Position Measurements in Superconducting Accelerating Cavities at the European XFEL
183 pp. () [10.3204/PUBDB-2019-01602] = Dissertation, University of Manchester, 2017  GO
Instrumentation of higher order modes (HOMs) excited in accelerating cavities for beam phase and position inference provides a noninvasive and economical beam diagnostic. The principles and techniques for this purpose are investigated for TESLA (TeV Energy Superconducting Linear Accelerator) cavities at the injector part of the newly built European XFEL and at FLASH, two free electron laser facilities based on the TESLA technology.I have designed and instrumented unconventional beam phase monitors based on monopole modes in TESLA cavities and demonstrated a routine resolution of 0.1° with a broadband setup [...]

Microfluidic Sample Environments for Time-resolved Macromolecular Structure Formation Studies
Hamburg 186 pp. () [10.3204/PUBDB-2019-02383] = Dissertation, University of Hamburg, 2019  GO
This thesis deals with the polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) of amphiphilic blockcopolymer nano-objects, which were synthesized using a controlled radical polymerization(CRP) method, in particular, the reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT)aqueous polymerization in the presence of a poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) stabilizer agent(macro RAFT agent). Besides the use of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAm) as core-formingblock for thermo-responsive nanoparticle, the aqueous dispersion polymerization of 2-methoxyethyl acrylate (MEA) was pursued as a model to study hydrophilic-hydrophobic phasetransitions: as a monomer, MEA is water-soluble.
