1. 1. Improving the understanding of photoelectron currents on Solar Orbiter : Utilizing theory and empirical measurements

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutet för rymdfysik, Uppsalaavdelningen

   Author : Melker Marminge; [2023]
   Keywords : Solar Orbiter; Photoelectric Currents; Photoelectric Effect; Thermal Bending; Outgassing; Thermionic Emission; Numerical Approximation; Physical Modeling;

   Abstract : Spacecraft experience electric currents on conductive materials exposed to sunlight, which introduces noise in scientific data. These currents are mainly due to the photoelectric effect and should therefore be proportional to the inverse square heliocentric distance. READ MORE

3. 2. How to Rise from Ashes : A Comprehensive Guide to Finally Understand Canonical Quantization and Build Quantum Mechanics from Scratch

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialteori; Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för teoretisk filosofi

   Keywords : Quantum mechanics; History of quantum mechanics; Canonical Quantization; double-slit experiment; The Photoelectric Effect; Compton Scattering; Matter Waves; Bohr’s Atomic Model; Old Quantum Theory; Heisenberg-Born-Jordan Matrix Mechanics; Schrodinger’s Quantum Wave Mechanics; equations of motion;

   Abstract : In this review essay, we account for the historical development of canonical quantization. By a detailed review of The Ultraviolet Catastrophe, The Photoelectric Effect, Compton Scattering, Matter Waves and Bohr's Atomic Model we learn about Old Quantum Theory. READ MORE

4. 3. PERFORMANCE OF THE PHOTODETECTOR FOR THE ACTIVE SHIELD OF THE COSI SPACE TELESCOPE

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Daniel Álvarez Franco; [2022]
   Keywords : Geant4; scintillation; BGO; CsI; simulation; COSI; telescope; photoelectric effect;

   Abstract : The COmpton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a space telescope that aims to study the soft gamma regime (0.2-5 MeV), capable of performing spectroscopy, imaging and polarimetry of cosmic gamma sources. READ MORE

5. 4. Event-based High Resolution X-ray Imaging using Compton Coincidence Detection

   University essay from KTH/Medicinsk avbildning

   Author : Eva Bergström; [2021]
   Keywords : Photon counting CT; Compton scattering; Compton kinematics; coincidence detection; χ2 test; Fotonräknande CT; Compton-spridning; Compton-kinematik; sammanfallsdetektering; χ2 -test;

   Abstract : Research on photon counting detectors (PCDs) is focused on semiconductor materials, and silicon is a strong candidate to use in PCDs for photon counting computer tomography (CT). In a silicon detector, a significant portion of the counts is due to Compton scattering events. READ MORE

6. 5. Towards the control of photo-ionization with electron wave-packet interferences

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Andreas Stokkeland; [2020]
   Keywords : XUV attosecond pulses; photoelectron distribution; photoionization; phase shift; electron wave-packet interference; infrared field; IR-field; frequency components; Fourier transform; XUV photons; frequency domain; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In this work the photoelectric effect is explored through simulations of the phase shift that an IR-field can induce into an electron wave packet and the photoelectron distribution over frequency components that is produced in the photoionization of an atom with a attosecond pulses made of XUV photons. The IR-field is sent along two attosecond pulses made of XUV photons towards a 3D momentum spectrometer were there is a gas that can be photoionized and the photoelectrons can be measured. READ MORE
