Unexpected properties of recently discovered mesons DsJ(2317) and DsJ(2460) have caused an excitement in the high energy community. These mesons are under experimental study in BaBar, Belle and CLEO. The experimental data on these mesons is quite limited at the moment, but it is expected to be improved in the following years. The unexpected properties of these mesons, such as the low mass, and small width, have caused speculations about their structure. Various models have been proposed which go beyond the simple quark-antiquark picture of the mesons, such as a meson molecule, or a four-quark state. Therefore, understanding the underlying structure of these mesons can reveal a deeper understanding of QCD. In this thesis, the strong decay of the DsJ(2317) meson, DsJ(2317)--> Dspi0, is studied using three-point QCD Sum Rules method in the conventional cs framework. DsJ(2317) -> Dspi0 decay violates isospin symmetry. Therefore, this decay is studied as a two stage process; an isospin conserving DsJ(2317) --> Ds eta decay followed by the conversion of eta into a pi0 due to isospin violation.

The recently discovered DsJ(2317) and DsJ(2460) mesons had stimulated many theoretical and experimental studies due to their unexpected properties. In this thesis, we make a review of the predictions on the properties of these mesons using the quark model and QCD Sum Rules. We studied different models about the structure of these mesons, which are suggested because of their unexpected properties. Moreover, using the quark model which implies that the structure of DsJ meson as cs and QCD Sum Rules method, we...
Investigation of structural, electrical and optical properties of CU1-XAGXINSE2 thin films as a function of X content
Güllü, Hasan Hüseyin; Parlak, Mehmet; Department of Physics (2010)
In this work, we will focus on the quaternary system Cu1-xAgxInSe2 (CAIS) to investigate the effects of silver (Ag) contribution and exchange with copper (Cu) in CuInSe2. This system is located between the ternary semiconducting chalcopyrite compounds CuInSe2 and AgInSe2. These are two most popular materials applied in photovoltaic cells because of their high optical absorption coefficient, which is an important factor for the manufacture of devices, direct energy gap with values Eg ~1.05 and 1.24 eV, respe...
Study of beam-halo events in photon production in the CMS experiment
Yıldırım, Eda; Güler, Ali Murat; Department of Physics (2011)
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Experiment operates at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which is the highest energy particle accelerator in the world. CMS is a general purpose detector designed to investigate a wide range of physics, including the search for the Higgs boson. The measurement of photon production in the CMS experiment is crucial since it represents an irreducible background for many new physics searches, such as decay of Higgs to two photon, supersymmetry and extra-dimensions. The study of bea...
Dynamic ion behavior in plasma source ion implantation
Bozkurt, Bilge; Bilikmen, Kadri Sinan; Department of Physics (2006)
The aim of this work is to analytically treat the dynamic ion behavior during the evolution of the ion matrix sheath, considering the industrial application plasma source ion implantation for both planar and cylindrical targets, and then to de-velop a code that simulates this dynamic ion behavior numerically. If the sepa-ration between the electrodes in a discharge tube is small, upon the application of a large potential between the electrodes, an ion matrix sheath is formed, which fills the whole inter-ele...
Graviton induced monojet production in cms within add type led
Surat, Uğur Emrah; Serin, Meltem; Department of Physics (2010)
The discovery reach for the ADD-type Large Extra Dimension (LED) scenario in the CMS Experiment at the LHC is presented by looking at the Monojet + Missing Energy signature, which arises as a result of a single graviton emission accompanied by a quark or gluon. Using Monte Carlo generated events, two LHC run scenarios were considered and compared namely a center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV and integrated luminosity of 100 pb−1, and a center-of-mass energy of 10 TeV and integrated luminosity of 200 pb−1.
