  1. 1. Oscillations in a complex sunspot: From theory to data

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

    Author : Femke Kranenbarg; [2024]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sunspot oscillations, intricate three-dimensional wave-like motions in the solar atmosphere, result from the complex interplay between plasma and magnetic fields. This study delves into the behaviour of these oscillations, exploring their simultaneous excitation and evaluating their impact on solar phenomena like coronal heating, energy transport, and solar flares.

  3. 2. Study of oblique whistler waves in coronal mass ejections observed by Solar Orbiter

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutet för rymdfysik, Uppsalaavdelningen

    Author : Sofia Lennerstrand; [2023]
    Keywords : Oblique whistler waves; Solar physics; Solar Orbiter;

    Abstract : In this paper a search routine in MATLAB was developed in order to find and analyze oblique whistler waves in the data from the ESA and NASA spacecraft Solar Orbiter. Oblique whistler waves are a type of plasma wave which propagate at an angle with respect to the background magnetic field. READ MORE

  4. 3. Transverse Momentum Spectra in pp collisions (\sqrt{s}\) = 7 TeV and \(\sqrt{s}\) = 13 TeV in ALICE

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

    Author : Andreas Stokkeland; [2023]
    Keywords : Multiplicity; Multiplicity classes; Soft interactions; Quark Gluon Plasma; QGP; transverse momentum; p_T; Chi-squared; fits; fit functions; Levy; Lévy; Exponential; BGBW; Boltzmann-Gibbs blast-wave; Fermi-Dirac; Bose-Einstein; Boltzmann; pion; kaon; proton; transverse momentum spectra; p_T spectra; surface velocity; Minimum Bias; MB; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this project particle production as a function of transverse momentum (\(p_{\rm T}\)) in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy (\(\sqrt{s}\)) of 7 TeV and 13 TeV has been studied. The transverse momentum is interesting to study since it reflects momentum created in the collision (before the collision, all momentum is in the beam - going in a longitudinal direction) and therefore gives information on the collision dynamics.

  5. 4. Statistics of Electric and Magnetic Fields at the Earth’s Bow Shock

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Tsz-Kiu Wong-Chan; [2023]
    Keywords : MMS; Earth’s bow shock; Collisionless shocks; Correlation study; statistics; Space; Space plasma physics; MMS; Jordens bogchock; Kollisionsfria chocker; Korrelationsstudie; Statistik; Rymd; Rymdplasmafysik;

    Abstract : The interaction between the solar wind and Earth’s magnetic field creates the Earth’s bow shock. It is an ideal region for space probes like MMS, THEMIS or Clusters to study the collisionless shock phenomenon in space plasma. READ MORE

  6. 5. One-Dimensional Velocity Distributions of Fast Ions under RF Heating Including Doppler Shift in Tokamaks

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Lukas Bähner; [2022]
    Keywords : plasma; fusion; ICRH; Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating; RF; radio frequency; Fokker-Planck equation; Fokker-Planck solver; quasilinear operator; Coulomb collision; Doppler shift; velocity distribution; local temperature; plasma; fusion; ICRH; joncyklotronuppvärmning; RF; radiofrekvens; Fokker-Planck-ekvationen; Fokker-Planck-lösare; kvasilinjär operator; Coulombkollisioner; Dopplerskift; hastighetsfördelning; lokal temperatur;

    Abstract : The goal of nuclear fusion research is to create a clean and virtually limitless energy source. In order to that, a plasma must be heated to hundreds of millions degrees Celsius. A commonly used heating mechanism is ion cyclotron resonance heating, where antennas emit radio waves into the plasma. READ MORE
