  1. 16. Development of a particle flux detection system for the MERIT high intensity target experiment at CERN

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Marcus Palm; [2008]
    Keywords : diamond; particle; detectors; neutrino; factory; mercury; jet; CERN; MERIT;

    Abstract : The construction of a high intensity neutrino source requires multi megawatt beams and challenges the targets in use. MERIT is a proof-of-principle test for a novel kind of neutrino factory target, employing a 24 GeV/c proton beam and a 1 cm in diameter free mercury jet as beam target. READ MORE

  3. 17. Vavilov-Cerenkov Radiation Near Dielectric Boundaries with Application to Ultrahigh Energy Neutrino Detection

    University essay from Institutet för rymdfysik, Uppsalaavdelningen

    Author : Anders Persson; [2007]
    Keywords : Neutrino detection; Cerenkov radiation; Askaryan effect;

    Abstract : In this diploma thesis, we present a thorough investigation of the Vavilov-Cerenkov (VC) effect and its application to the detection of ultrahigh energyneutrinos. Neutrinos have no net charge and cannot emit VC radiation(VCR) but when they interact with a stationary medium such radiation isproduced by the Askar'yan effect. READ MORE
