1. 1. Neutron backgrounds in neutrino-nucleus scattering at the European Spallation Source

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

   Author : José Guilherme Rodrigues de Albuquerque Vale; [2023]
   Keywords : Neutrino-nucleus scattering; background; PHITS; weight window; ESS; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Being, when built, the most powerful neutron accelerator in the world, there will be a large number of potential discoveries at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund. One of the most exciting of these, from a particle physics point of view, is the Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEνNS). READ MORE

3. 2. Background Studies of the High-Intensity Baryon Extraction and Measurement (HIBEAM) Experiment at the European Spallation Source

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

   Author : Blahoslav Rataj; [2021]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The High-Intensity Baryon Extraction and Measurement experiment (HIBEAM) is proposed as one of the experimental stations at the European Spallation Source (ESS). This experiment will mainly focus on the neutron into sterile neutron oscillations which violate the baryon number (B) by one unit. READ MORE

4. 3. Monte-Carlo simulations of an AmBe neutron source

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Josefine Sjöberg; [2021]
   Keywords : Serpent; neutron; gamma; radiation dose; AmBe source; polyethylene;

   Abstract : The Department of Physics and Astronomy in Uppsala is planning to construct a source-based neutron irradiation facility at Ångströms laboratory. The purpose of this facility will, as of now, mainly be for students and employees to conduct scientific experiments and to calibrate the university's neutron scintillator detectors. READ MORE

5. 4. The FLARE Suit: A protection against solar radiation in space

   University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

   Author : Sébastien Ruhlmann; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : FLARE Suit är en enhet som används för att skydda astronauter från intensiv partikelstrålning när de reser ut ur magnetosfären på framtida Deep Space-uppdrag.   Denna dräkt kan skydda mot solpartiklar som på grund av sin höga densitet kan orsaka akut strålningssjuka och leda till överdriven förstöring av inre organ (mag- tarmkanalen, nervsystemet, blodbildande benmärg) och i värsta fall till döden.

6. 5. Simulating Long Neutron Beamlines Using Duct Source Variance Reduction in Geant4

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

   Author : Isak Svensson; [2018]
   Keywords : Neutron beamlines; neutron shielding; high energy neutrons; variance reduction; Geant4; Monte Carlo simulation; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The European Spallation Source, ESS, is set to become the world's brightest spallation neutron source. Spallation neutron sources present unique challenges with regards to radiation shielding due to the creation of a significant number of high energy neutrons during nuclear reactions in the spallation target.
