Analysis of bacteria colony lysis via microscopy

For my masters project, I analysed the physics of bacteria after being infected by bacteriophages. This involved growing the bacteria in a specialised environment and observing it over several hours, with pictures being taken every minute. This data was then analysed frame by frame and plotted...

Determining Particle Masses via curve fitting

Given data from the LHCb collaboration, in which protons were collided and the resultant particle masses were measured, I plotted the masses as a histogram. From this plot, 3 distinct peaks appear. Modelling these peaks as gaussian curves, the mean particle mass of the mesons can be determined....

Determination of half lives

Using a Geiger-Miller tube, I determined the half life of various isotopes. Despite some maths, the analysis for this project was fairly straight forward. Sadly, I carried this experiment out 3 years ago and have since lost the Latex file which I wrote the report in, thus there are a couple of...
