  1. 6. PERFORMANCE OF THE PHOTODETECTOR FOR THE ACTIVE SHIELD OF THE COSI SPACE TELESCOPE

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

    Author : Daniel Álvarez Franco; [2022]
    Keywords : Geant4; scintillation; BGO; CsI; simulation; COSI; telescope; photoelectric effect;

    Abstract : The COmpton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a space telescope that aims to study the soft gamma regime (0.2-5 MeV), capable of performing spectroscopy, imaging and polarimetry of cosmic gamma sources. READ MORE

  3. 7. Nuclear Structure near the Proton Drip-line: A Search for Excited States in 62Ge

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

    Author : Dalia Farghaly; [2022]
    Keywords : nuclear physics; nuclear structure; proton drip-line; excited states; germanium; fusion-evaporation reaction; experimental nuclear physics; gamma sphere; gamma spectroscopy; HPGe detectors; data analysis; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : An experiment to study mirror symmetry in the mass A = 60 region was performed at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in 2020. The fusion-evaporation reaction 40Ca + 24Mg → 64Ge* at a beam energy of 106 MeV was used to populate excited states in 62Ge. READ MORE

  4. 8. Environmental radiation measurements at Barsebäck nuclear power plant during the decommissioning phase

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Patrik Dahlström; [2022]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background and aim: The Barsebäck nuclear power plant (NPP) units ceased operations in 1999 and 2005. Now the NPP is in the phase of decommissioning, which is a complicated process that will take many years to complete. Radiological characterization of the surrounding area is a part of the decommissioning process. READ MORE

  5. 9. Constructing and commissioning of a Multi-Grid neutron detector prototype for the European Spallation Source

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/European Spallation Source ESS AB

    Author : Rebecka Wahlén; [2022]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A prototype of a novel 10B-based neutron detector called the Multi-Grid detector has been constructed, tested and commissioned for the European Spallation Source (ESS). The detector is constructed after the specifications set by the CSPEC instrument at ESS and is therefore called the CSPEC Multi-Grid detector. READ MORE

  6. 10. Thermal neutron counting and gamma-ray peak identification from fusion reactions, using a Sodern Genie-16 Neutron Generator

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

    Author : Auden Ti; [2022]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis work focuses on the categorisation of a Sodern Genie-16 Neutron Generator, at the Nuclear Applications Laboratory, Lund University. To that end, the goals of this work focuses on the re-development of the pre-existing infrastructure surrounding the Sodern Genie-16 Neutron Generator for the purposes of internally irradiating samples, and the subsequent categorisation of the new configuration for extraction of fast neutrons.
