1. 1. Three-Dimensional Quantitative Cerenkov Luminescence Imaging

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

   Author : Anton Ajne; [2014]
   Keywords : Cerenkov; CLI; Optical imaging; Nuclear medicine; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) is an up-and-coming optical technique for in vivo imaging of beta-emitting radioisotopes. CLI relies on measurements of the Cerenkov radiation emitted when high-energy beta-particles travel through tissue. READ MORE

3. 2. Performance Assessment of Cerenkov Emission Imaging

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen; Lunds universitet/Medicinsk strålningsfysik, Lund

   Author : Emma Mellhammar; [2013]
   Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

   Abstract : Laddade partiklar med hög energi kan ibland färdas snabbare än ljusets hastighet i det medium det för stunden befinner sig i. När detta sker, emitteras så kallat Cerenkovljus. Ljuset ligger inom det synliga spektret och kan alltså detekteras med vanlig kamerateknik. READ MORE

4. 3. Bremsstrahlung Luminosity Monitoring for SCRIT Project (Report part II)

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

   Author : Niklas Lundkvist; [2011]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The purpose of the SCRIT project is to determine size and shape of short-lived and rarely-produced nuclei by elastic electron scattering, which is the best probe for the structure studies, for the first time. In traditional electron scattering, a solid target having an order of 1023 nuclei/cm^2 is normally used, which is not possible for short-lived and rarely-produced nuclei. READ MORE

5. 4. Bremsstrahlung Luminosity Monitoring for SCRIT Project (Report part 1)

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

   Author : Niklas Lundkvist; [2011]
   Keywords : unstable nuclei; electron scattering; charge form factor; ion trap; SCRIT;

   Abstract : The purpose of the SCRIT project is to determine size and shape of short-lived and rarely-produced nuclei by elastic electron scattering, which is the best probe for the structure studies, for the first time. In traditional electron scattering, a solid target having an order of 1023 nuclei/cm^2 is normally used, which is not possible for short-lived and rarely-produced nuclei. READ MORE

6. 5. Vavilov-Cerenkov Radiation Near Dielectric Boundaries with Application to Ultrahigh Energy Neutrino Detection

   University essay from Institutet för rymdfysik, Uppsalaavdelningen

   Author : Anders Persson; [2007]
   Keywords : Neutrino detection; Cerenkov radiation; Askaryan effect;

   Abstract : In this diploma thesis, we present a thorough investigation of the Vavilov-Cerenkov (VC) effect and its application to the detection of ultrahigh energyneutrinos. Neutrinos have no net charge and cannot emit VC radiation(VCR) but when they interact with a stationary medium such radiation isproduced by the Askar'yan effect. READ MORE
