1. Misalignment effects on the physics performance of the inner tracker upgrade at the ALICE experiment
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysikAbstract : This thesis deals with the physics performance of an approved inner tracker upgrade of the ALICE experiment involving a novel and ultra-thin silicon detector with a cylindrical geometry. During the thesis work, a method was developed in simulations to induce distortions to the detector’s geometry, and the resulting loss in physics performance was evaluated. READ MORE

2. Machine Learning for Pulse Shape Analysis of Heavy Ions
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : Most of the Generation IV nuclear reactors designs are intended to operate with a fast neutron spectrum. This necessitates further investigation into nuclear fuel behaviour because fast neutrons yield a higher neutron multiplicity with fission fragments, significantly impacting the criticality assessment of these reactors.

3. Developments Towards High-Resolution Muonic Atom X-ray Spectroscopy of Low-Z Elements : For precision measurements of absolute nuclear charge radii
University essay from Uppsala universitet/HögenergifysikAbstract : This Master's thesis investigates a method to measure atomic nuclei with record precision using muonic atom X-ray spectroscopy. In particular, 6Li is measured experimentally. The method used is independent from the previous most precise measurement of the 6Li nuclear charge radius which uses electron scattering. READ MORE

4. The Commissioning of a Pixelated Charge-particle Detector : for High-sensitivity Measurements of Hydrogen
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : The Tandem Laboratory at Uppsala University, a national research infrastructure forworld-leading materials analysis, has a long history of performing hydrogen measurementusing NRA (Nuclear Reaction Analysis). This project intents to diversify the infras-tructure for hydrogen measurement by investigating the feasibility of an advanced ERCS(Elastic Recoil Coincidence Scattering) system, enabling finer detection limits.

5. Silicon Drift Detector Simulations for Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy in Scanning Electron Microscopy
University essay from Stockholms universitet/FysikumAbstract : Scanning Electron Microscopy combined with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) is a widely applied elemental microanalysis method. The integration of silicon drift detectors (SDDs) has notably enhanced EDS performance, enabling precise elemental identification due to its large sensitive area and low output capacitance. READ MORE
