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. Analysis of Atmospheric Muon Bundles with IceCube

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

   Author : Anna Selina Neyer; [2024]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This work is a preliminary study of the background of a search for dark, long-lived particles in the IceCube detector. The high flux of atmospheric muons in IceCube is considered background to the detector's primary science goal, which is to detect astrophysical neutrinos through the emission of Cherenkov radiation.

4. 3. Probing Charm Production with Three-Particle Correlations in pp Collisions

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

   Author : Kim Haupt; [2023]
   Keywords : pp collisions; charm production; three-particle correlation; Pythia; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate possible correlations between charm production and baryon production in proton-proton collisions through three-particle correlations. The question attempted to be answered is where, for a given charmed baryon, the balancing anti-charm particle and balancing anti-baryon are located. READ MORE

5. 4. Calibration and preparation of the data analysis of the DORN experiment on board the Chang'E 6 lunar mission.

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

   Author : Íñigo de Loyola Chacartegui Rojo; [2023]
   Keywords : Radon; lunar mission; alpha spectrometry; space instrumentation; performance testing and validation;

   Abstract : As part of the first agreement between the French (CNES) and the Chinese (CNSA) space agencies in terms of space exploration, the DORN instrument will fly on board the Chinese Chang'E 6 mission in 2024. It aims to measure the amount of Radon escaping from the lunar soil to better understand what governs the concentration of this noble gas which contributes to the endogenous origin of the lunar exosphere.

6. 5. Optimization of Gammasphere Data Following the Nuclear Reaction 36Ar + 24Mg → 60Zn∗

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

   Author : Paul Böhm; [2023]
   Keywords : re-calibration; Gammasphere; 54Fe; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The experiment at Argonne National Laboratory aimed to study the fusion-evaporation reaction following the collision of a high-energy particle beam of 36Ar with a stationary target of 24Mg. This paper outlines the creation and implementation of an automated re-calibration procedure for the high-purity Germanium detectors comprising the Gammasphere array used for γ-ray spectroscopy in this experiment.
