  1. 11. MAC-E-Filter characterization for PTOLEMY : a relic neutrino direct detection experiment

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Carl-Fabian Strid; [2019]
    Keywords : particle physics; astroparticle physics; astrophysics; PTOLEMY; relic neutrinos; monte carlo simulation; mac-e-filter; sterile neutrinos; physics beyond the standard model;

    Abstract : The cosmic neutrino background (CNB) can be composed of both active and hypothetical sterileneutrinos. At approximately one second after big bang, neutrinos decoupled from radiationand matter at a temperature of approximately one MeV. READ MORE

  3. 12. Probing the effect of dark matter velocity distributions on neutrino-based dark matter detection

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Martin Ståhl; [2019]
    Keywords : Dark matter; WIMPs; velocity distribution; indirect detection;

    Abstract : Dark matter has a long history, but it was not until modern times that we have a chance of detecting it. This thesis focuses on the velocity distribution and its effect on indirect WIMP detection. Recently a new velocity distribution, based on data from SDSS and GAIA, was proposed. READ MORE

  4. 13. Development and study of luminescent bolometers for neutrino physics

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

    Author : Yann Gimbal-Zofka; [2017]
    Keywords : Neutrinoless double beta decay; bolometer; scintillating bolometer; leptogenesis; neutrino; cryostat; radioactivity;

    Abstract : This Master thesis aims at designing, assembling and operating a prototypal luminescentbolometer containing a candidate with high Q-value (116Cd and 100Mo)for the study of the neutrinoless double- decay. The crystal is scintillating (with 116CdWO4 and Li2MoO4 compounds). READ MORE

  5. 14. Dark Matter Signatures in Cosmic Gamma-Rays

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Jonas Wessén; [2012]
    Keywords : gravitino; 130 GeV line; IACT; MAGIC; indirect dark matter detection; decaying dark datter; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis concentrates on one of the indirect Dark Matter (DM) detection methods, namely through observations of Very High Energy (VHE) $\gamma$-ray signals from DM annihilation (or decay) in cosmic sources using the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique (IACT). We discuss the particle physics and astrophysical aspects of those observations and perform several calculations which lead to an estimation of the DM detection prospects for IACTs. READ MORE

  6. 15. An FPGA implementation of neutrino track detection for the IceCube telescope

    University essay from Datorteknik

    Author : Carl Wernhoff; [2010]
    Keywords : FPGA; IceCube; neutrino; telescope; south pole; trigger; Track Engine;

    Abstract : The IceCube telescope is built within the ice at the geographical South Pole in the middle of the Antarctica continent. The purpose of the telescope is to detect muon neutrinos, the muon neutrino being an elementary particle with minuscule mass coming from space. The detector consists of some 5000 DOMs registering photon hits (light). READ MORE
