  1. 6. 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

  3. 7. Measuring the vertical muon intensity with the ALTO prototype at Linnaeus University

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

    Author : Magnus Norén; [2021]
    Keywords : Muon Intensity; ALTO; CoMET; Cosmic Rays; VHE Gamma Rays; Extensive Air Shower; Water Cherenkov Detector; Scintillation Detector; Monte Carlo Simulation; GEANT4;

    Abstract : ALTO is a project, currently in the research and development phase, with the goal of constructing a Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray observatory in the southern hemisphere. It will detect the particle content reaching the ground from the interactions of either VHE gamma rays or cosmic rays in the atmosphere known as extensive air showers. READ MORE

  4. 8. Constraints on the High-Energy Gamma-Ray Spectrum of Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Oskar Svenborn; [2021]
    Keywords : Gamma-ray emission; High-Energy astrophysics; Star-Forming Galaxies; Star formation; Cosmic rays; Fermi-LAT.;

    Abstract : The nature of high-energy gamma-ray emission from Star-Forming Galaxies is of utmost importance for understanding both the origin of Cosmic Rays and the high-energy processes that shape galaxy formation. Observations from the gamma-ray telescope Fermi-LAT have detected gamma-ray emission from a handful of nearby Star-Forming Galaxies. READ MORE

  5. 9. Test setup for LDMX HCal readout

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

    Author : Joshua Greaves; [2020]
    Keywords : Dark matter; LDMX; dark photon; hadronic calorimeter; photomultiplier tube; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : It is evident from cosmological observations such as the Cosmic Microwave Background, and the motion of galaxies, that the universe consists of approximately 5 times more mass than visible matter can account for. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) will take a unique approach in its hunt for dark matter; it will look for missing momentum signals in electron collisions with a Tungsten target, and will be looking in the sub GeV energy range for evidence of dark matter interactions.

  6. 10. Investigating UV nightglow within the framework of the JEM-EUSO Experiments

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

    Author : Frej-Eric Emmoth; [2020]
    Keywords : JEM-EUSO; Airglow; Atmospheric Gravity Waves; EUSO-TA; Mini-EUSO;

    Abstract : The main mission of the JEM-EUSO (Extreme Universe Space Observatory) Collaborationis to observe Cosmic Rays. These high energy particles come from a variety of sources and bombard the Earth all the time. READ MORE
