  1. 1. Exploring Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background in Hyper-Kamiokande

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Klara Cider; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis studies the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background (DSNB) that is expected to be detected in the future neutrino detector Hyper-Hamiokande. DSNB refers to the flux which is made up of neutrinos from all past core-collapsing supernova explosions. 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. Characterization of neutron detection efficiency in a liquid organic scintillator

    University essay from

    Author : Ebba Wargh; Nadine Tabeshnia; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neutron detectors in the form of liquid organic scintillators are widely used for nuclear disarmament purposes. The main purpose of this thesis is to characterize the neutron detection efficiency of the organic liquid scintillator EJ-309 using Monte Carlo based simulations in the simulation program Geant4.

  5. 4. Neutron Veto Inefficiency Studies with FLUKA for the LDMX Hadronic Calorimeter

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

    Author : Jaida Raffelsberger; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Dark matter accounts for about 85% of all matter in the Universe, yet its particle nature remains unknown. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed fixed-target missing-momentum experiment that intends to probe the predominantly experimentally uncharted MeV-GeV mass range for "light dark matter".

  6. 5. Characterisation of the LYCCA Double-Sided Silicon Strip Detectors

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

    Author : Marwan Mohamed; [2023]
    Keywords : DSSD LYCCA HISPEC FAIR Characterisation; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The goal of this thesis work is to describe the methods used and perform comprehensive testing of the Double-Sided Silicon-Strip Detectors (DSSD) prior to their implementation in the Lund-York-Cologne CAlorimeter (LYCCA) detector. In the framework of this project, the DSSD characterisation was carried out to ensure specification compliance prior to their "in-kind contribution" delivery to the HISPEC experiment at the NUSTAR collaboration.
