Description:: This thesis focuses on the role of upcoming neutrino oscillation experiments for the search for beyond-the-Standard-Model physics in the neutrino sector. Specically, I focus on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and Hyper-Kamiokande neutrino experiment, and the experimental sensitivity to non-standard neutrino interactions, sterile neutrinos, incorrect signals of CP-violation, differences between...

Description:: This thesis is a description of the measurement of the W boson mass using the D0 Run II detector with 770 pb^-1 of proton-antiproton collision data. These collisions were produced by the Tevatron at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV between 2002 and 2006. We use a sample of W -> e...

Description:: In this dissertation, I discuss the role of neutrino masses and fermion flavor in modern particle physics and present several efforts aimed at exploiting these properties in searches for new physics. In particular, I discuss (1) the effects of neutrino decays on neutrino propagation; (2) the sensitivity of the Deep...
