Prospects for beyond the Standard Model physics searches at the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment
2021
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be a powerful tool for a variety of physics topics. The high-intensity proton beams provide a large neutrino flux, sampled by a near detector system consisting of a combination of capable precision detectors, and by the massive far detector system located deep underground. This configuration sets up DUNE as a machine for discovery, as it enables opportunities not only to perform precision neutrino measurements that may uncover deviations from the present three-flavor mixing paradigm, but also to discover new particles and unveil new interactions and symmetries beyond those predicted in the Standard Model (SM). Of the many potential beyond…
Screening of microalgae and LED grow light spectra for effective removal of dissolved nutrients from cold-water recirculating aquaculture system (RAS…
2019
Popularity of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) is increasing. Because of the high water recirculation rate, dissolved nutrients originating from fish feed are concentrated enough in RAS wastewater (WW) to enable growth of primary producers, e.g. microalgae. This study evaluated nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) and phosphate-phosphorus (PO4-P) removal efficiency of ten temperate zone freshwater microalgae species during their exponential growth phase in unfiltered RAS WW at 17 ± 0.5 °C. Growth and nutrient uptake efficiency of six green and four non-green microalgae strains were compared between WW and reference growth medium in batch monocultures. The effect of three different LED grow light…
Higgs mass predicted from the standard model with asymptotically safe gravity
2016
Tässä Pro Gradu -tutkielmassa tavoitteena on ennustaa Higgsin bosonin massa ottaen lähtökohdaksi hiukkasfysiikan standardimalli, johon on kytketty gravitaatio ns. asymptoottisesti turvallisena teoriana. Ennusteen laskemiseksi selvitetään Higgsin bosonin itseiskytkennän ja neljän muun standardimallin kytkinvakion juokseminen, eli kytkinvakioiden käyttäytyminen energiaskaalan funktiona, johtavassa kertaluvussa MS-skeemassa. Standardimallista saatuihin β-funktioihin lisätään asymptoottisesti turvallisen gravitaation antamat korjaukset suurilla energiaskaaloilla, jonka jälkeen β-funktioiden muodostama differentiaaliyhtälöryhmä ratkaistaan numeerisesti. Standardimallin osittainen äärellinen remo…
Comparison of Microscopic Interacting Boson Model and Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation 0νββ Decay Nuclear Matrix Elements
2021
The fundamental nature of the neutrino is presently a subject of great interest. A way to access the absolute mass scale and the fundamental nature of the neutrino is to utilize the atomic nuclei through their rare decays, the neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay in particular. The experimentally measurable observable is the half-life of the decay, which can be factorized to consist of phase space factor, axial vector coupling constant, nuclear matrix element, and function containing physics beyond the standard model. Thus reliable description of nuclear matrix element is of crucial importance in order to extract information governed by the function containing physics beyond the standard m…
Eye-Movement Study of Mechanics Problem Solving Using Multimodal Options
2020
We used an eye-tracking method to investigate students’ approaches to solving a physics task using various representations. Eight upper-secondary school students from Finland took part in the study. We found that students who preferred either the text or graph representations watched the options differently, but they used both representations to be sure of their solution. Transitions between text and graph alternatives were different for students preferring either text or graph representations. Interviews revealed typical misconceptions about the concept of force. Implications for physics instruction are presented. peerReviewed

FM Olli Ylönen tutki työssään mitä haittavaikutuksia lisääntyvällä UV-B säteilyn määrällä voi olla taloudellisesti tärkeimpien sisävesien kalalajiemme, siian ja muikun, kannalta. Haitallisen UV-B säteilyn määrä on lisääntynyt viimeisten vuosikymmenten aikana maan pinnalla ja veden alla, ja sen ennustetaan lisääntyvän vielä noin vuoteen 2050 asti.Tutkimukset osoittivat selvästi, että kalat pystyvät välttelemään korkeita UV-B säteilyn tasoja sekä laboratoriossa että järvessä. UV-B säteilyn vaikutukset muikun ja siian poikasiin ovat siis tulevaisuudessakin vähäiset.Ylösen tutkimukset keskittyivät poikasvaiheeseen, koska suojaavan väripigmentin puuttuessa tai sen ollessa vasta kehittymässä kala…

Does using a visual-representation tool foster students’ ability to identify forces and construct free-body diagrams?
2013
Earlier research has shown that after physics instruction, many students have difficulties with the force concept, and with constructing free-body diagrams (FBDs). It has been suggested that treating forces as interactions could help students to identify forces as well as to construct the correct FBDs. While there is evidence that identifying interactions helps students in quantitative problem solving, there is no previous research investigating the effect of a visual-representation tool—an interaction diagram (ID)—on students’ ability to identify forces, and to construct the correct FBDs.We present an empirical study conducted in 11 Finnish high schools on students (n ¼ 335, aged 16) takin…
