Theoretical and Experimental Approaches to Dark Energy and the Cosmological Constant Problem

Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by Baylor University, Texas
Explores both theoretical and experimental solutions to the cosmological constant problem
Summarizes and provides a review of several widely-discussed, recent theories relating to dark energy and the cosmological constant
Describes a novel method to estimate one of the most significant backgrounds in the search for supersymmetry
