  1. 1. How to Rise from Ashes : A Comprehensive Guide to Finally Understand Canonical Quantization and Build Quantum Mechanics from Scratch

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialteori; Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för teoretisk filosofi

    Author : Karl Herlin; [2022]
    Keywords : Quantum mechanics; History of quantum mechanics; Canonical Quantization; double-slit experiment; The Photoelectric Effect; Compton Scattering; Matter Waves; Bohr’s Atomic Model; Old Quantum Theory; Heisenberg-Born-Jordan Matrix Mechanics; Schrodinger’s Quantum Wave Mechanics; equations of motion;

    Abstract : In this review essay, we account for the historical development of canonical quantization. By a detailed review of The Ultraviolet Catastrophe, The Photoelectric Effect, Compton Scattering, Matter Waves and Bohr's Atomic Model we learn about Old Quantum Theory. READ MORE

  3. 2. Characterization of a Bismuth germanate Anti-Compton Scattering Shield for use with a Germanium COMPEX detector module

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

    Author : Samuel Dawes; [2022]
    Keywords : COMPEX; Lundium; BGO; ACS; gamma-ray spectroscopy; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The scope of this work is to help determine the functional improvement brought on by introducing a Bismuth germanate (BGO) Anti-Compton Scattering (ACS) shield system to a germanium COMPEX detector module. The COMPEX germanium detector module is already an extremely useful addition in examining gamma-ray spectroscopy. READ MORE

  4. 3. Event-based High Resolution X-ray Imaging using Compton Coincidence Detection

    University essay from KTH/Medicinsk avbildning

    Author : Eva Bergström; [2021]
    Keywords : Photon counting CT; Compton scattering; Compton kinematics; coincidence detection; χ2 test; Fotonräknande CT; Compton-spridning; Compton-kinematik; sammanfallsdetektering; χ2 -test;

    Abstract : Research on photon counting detectors (PCDs) is focused on semiconductor materials, and silicon is a strong candidate to use in PCDs for photon counting computer tomography (CT). In a silicon detector, a significant portion of the counts is due to Compton scattering events. READ MORE

  5. 4. Gamma-ray tracking using graph neural networks

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Mikael Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : Physics; Nuclear Physics; Detectors; Tracking; Neural Networks; GNN; Gamma-ray; Fysik; Kärnfysik; Detektorer; Tracking; Neurala Nät; GNN; Gammastrålning;

    Abstract : While there are existing methods of gamma ray-track reconstruction in specialized detectors such as AGATA, including backtracking and clustering, it is naturally of interest to diversify the portfolio of available tools to provide us viable alternatives. In this study some possibilities found in the field of machine learning were investigated, more specifically within the field of graph neural networks. READ MORE

  6. 5. Monte Carlo-simulation of whole-body absorbed

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Mattias Jensen; Mikael Westlund; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Radiation protection is important when working in lab environments where radioactive sources are frequently used. Simplified geometrical models are sometimes used in literature or in education to analytically estimate the absorbed dose a human receives. READ MORE
