1. 1. Decay Chains of Fast Alpha Emitters in the Actinide Region

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

   Author : Tanvir Sayed; [2024]
   Keywords : alpha decay; alpha emissions; fine structure; decay chain; decay scheme; alpha spectrometry; actinide; nucleus; nuclear structure; nuclear states; energy levels; uranium isotopes; U310 experiment; parasitic runs; decay station; TASISpec ; moving window deconvolution; digitisers; alpha-gamma coincidence; 221-Th decay; fine structure of alpha decay to 217-Ra; GSI; Gamow s theory; Geiger-Nuttall; chain search; short half-lives; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : With the advent of increasingly advanced spectroscopic instruments after the turn of the century, it has become accessible to unravel the structure of instantly ‘vanishing’ nuclei, with lifetimes as short as 1 μs, and responsible for pile-up events in analog electronics. Experimental data has been recorded by the Nuclear Structure Group at Lund University for 48Ca/50Ti + nat. READ MORE

3. 2. Machine Learning for Pulse Shape Analysis of Heavy Ions

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Steven Hendrik Bijl; [2023]
   Keywords : Heavy Ions; Machine Learning;

   Abstract : 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.

4. 3. Total Monte Carlo of the fission model in GEF and its influence on the nuclear evaporation in TALYS

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Karlsson Peter; [2023]
   Keywords : physics; nuclear physics; fission; neutron-induced; evaporation; Hauser-Feshbach; GEF; TALYS; Total Monte Carlo; TMC; fysik; kärnfysik; neutron-inducerad;

   Abstract : Features recently added to the nuclear reaction software TALYS allow the use of the GEF model as a fission fragment generator. GEF generates data for fission fragment yields, total excitation energy (TXE), total kinetic energy (TKE) and individual fragment excitation energies (E*) with their standard deviations through Monte Carlo simulations for TALYS.

5. 4. Prototyping of an automated cyclic Neutron Activation Analysis setup

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

   Author : Cornelius Maurer; [2022]
   Keywords : Nuclear Physics; Neutron activation analysis; cyclic-NAA; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : A prototype Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) setup based on a Deuterium-Tritium (DT) neutron generator is under development at Lund University. It serves as proof-of-principle for NAA based on a Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Source. READ MORE

6. 5. Modeling of Low-Energy Neutron Scattering in Liquid Hydrogen Using NCrystal

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/European Spallation Source ESS AB; Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik

   Author : Tim Günter; [2022]
   Keywords : ESS; European Spallation Source; neutron; scattering; moderator; liquid hydrogen; modeling; ncrystal; njoy; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The European Spallation Source ESS, under construction in Lund, Sweden, aims to produce high-brightness and intensity neutrons for a multitude of experiments upon completion. An efficient production of neutrons requires elaborate understanding of the moderation process which slows the neutrons from relativistic speed to a kinetic energy of meV. READ MORE
