  1. 1. Development of Radon Detectors for Earthquake Prediction

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Alma Partos; Astrid Schöldström; [2023]
    Keywords : Radon; earthquake; gamma ray spectroscopy;

    Abstract : The purpose of this project is to simulate the detection of γ-ray spectra emitted by radon isotopes and their daughters. This is done as a contribution to the development of radiation detectors to be used in a research project investigating the possibility of using increased amounts of the radioactive gas radon as an earthquake precursor.

  3. 2. Polymer gel dosimetry with MRI-readout for 3D dose verification - detector characteristics and clinical applications

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Thi Guldhill; [2023]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background & Purpose: Radiation therapy is an essential treatment for cancer patients with the ultimate goal to deliver radiation doses to the tumour with precision while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Treatment verification is crucial to ensure the accuracy of radiation delivery, for instance by measuring the radiation dose distribution. READ MORE

  4. 3. Accumulation of 63Ni, 106Ru and 125Sb in phytoplankton

    University essay from

    Author : Yusuf Ali; [2022-08-22]
    Keywords : Medical physics; Environmental radiology; Nuclear Power Plants; concentration factor CF ; phytoplankton; phaeodactylum tricornutum; radioactive releases; nickel; ruthenium; antimony; gamma spectroscopy; liquid scintillation counting;

    Abstract : Background: Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) release small amounts of radionuclides which contribute with a low radiation dose to the environment as well as humans and animals. In this context, marine ecosystems are critical, since most NPPs in Sweden are located by the sea. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluation of whole-body bone scans performed using a gamma camera with Cadmium Zinc Telluride detector

    University essay from

    Author : Victor Asp; [2022-01-13]
    Keywords : Medical physics; whole-body bone scans; gamma camera; Cadmium Zinc Telluride detector;

    Abstract : The bone scan is a common nuclear medicine imaging procedure that is mainly used for evaluating several oncological patient groups. A radioactive tracer, 99mTc -labelled diphosphonate, is injected intravenously and accumulates in the skeleton. The distribution of the tracer in the body is measured with a gamma camera 3 hours post-injection. READ MORE

  6. 5. Simulations of stray radiation in the European XFEL undulators with the Geant4 toolkit

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Guillermo Lopez Basurco; [2022]
    Keywords : Geant4; Monte Carlo simulations; XFEL undulators; gamma radiation flux;

    Abstract : The European XFEL is an X-ray free electron laser research facility that generates ultrashort, high intensity flashes. Three SASE undulator systems are made of undulator segments and intersection components. READ MORE
