  1. 1. Development and simulation of an active target detector with GEM foil readout

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

    Author : Elisabeth Rickert; [2017]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : At CERN, radioactive ion beams with energies of up to 10 MeV/u can be pro- duced by a newly commissioned post-accelerator, HIE-ISOLDE, which expands the possibilities for nuclear reaction studies. To investigate the collision properties of the ion beam with a target, an active gas–target detector is under development by the Reactions Group at the Nuclear Physics Division in Lund. READ MORE

  2. 2. Developing a test procedure for neutron detection/non detection using a Small TPC Prototype

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

    Author : Nicholai Mauritzsson; [2016]
    Keywords : Time Projection Chamber; TPC; neutron; anti-neutron; Gas Electron Multiplier; ALTRO; Readout electronics; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This work relates to the proposed n-nbar experiment at ESS and covers a procedure with which future neutron research can be made using a small TPC prototype. Settings for the GEM amplification voltage supply and main drift field across the chamber have been established using minimum ionizing cosmic muons as a reference. READ MORE

  3. 3. Tests and simulations of GEM foils for use in an active target gaseous detector

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

    Author : Jacob Snäll; [2016]
    Keywords : GEM; ISOLDE; gas electron multiplier; Garfield ; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The HIE-ISOLDE post accelerator at CERN has recently come online, en- abling the use of radioactive ion beams with energies of up to 10 MeV/u. An active target gaseous detector is under development for use in some of the experiments. The first investigation of the electron amplification stage with gas electron multipliers has been performed. READ MORE

  4. 4. Development of a Time Projection Chamber for a linear experiment : optimization of the readout electronics

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

    Author : Ted Lind; [2012]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The field of particle physics is ever evolving. With the recent advent of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) it is possible that the long sought for Higgs boson is detected. While this is not certain even if it is found it is likely that it will need more precise methods of investigation. READ MORE
