  1. 1. Glauber Monte Carlo for proton-proton and virtual-photon-proton collisions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Oscar Sepp; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In high energy physics, we want to probe the inner structures and behaviours of the particles that are the building blocks of our universe. This is often done by colliding nuclei together. READ MORE

  2. 2. Neutron backgrounds in neutrino-nucleus scattering at the European Spallation Source

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

    Author : José Guilherme Rodrigues de Albuquerque Vale; [2023]
    Keywords : Neutrino-nucleus scattering; background; PHITS; weight window; ESS; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Being, when built, the most powerful neutron accelerator in the world, there will be a large number of potential discoveries at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund. One of the most exciting of these, from a particle physics point of view, is the Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEνNS). READ MORE

  3. 3. Non-Diffractive Nuclear Excitations In Angantyr

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Carl Rosenkvist; [2023]
    Keywords : Heavy-ion; non-diffractive; nuclear excitation; secondary interactions; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : To better understand collectivity in high energy physics, the heavy-ion collision model Angantyr was developed to be included in the event generator Pythia. In this model, proton-proton collision phenomenology is extrapolated to heavy-ion collisions without assuming a thermal plasma for particle production. READ MORE

  4. 4. Glauber Monte-Carlo Simulation and Model Comparison in High-Energy Collisions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Sebastião De Sousa Castanheira Miranda; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this thesis, a Glauber Monte-Carlo event generator is developed and used to analyze proton-Ion (p -$^{63}$Cu and p -$^{197}$Au) and Ion-Ion ($^{63}$Cu -$^{63}$Cu and $^{197}$Au -$^{197}$Au) collisions. Three different sub-collision models are implemented, the black disk, grey disk and oscillating grey disk models, and their validity is compared. READ MORE

  5. 5. On the Energy Dependence of Parameters in PYTHIA8 Heavy-ion Collision Simulations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Felipe Abedrapo; [2022]
    Keywords : Heavy-ion Collisions; PYTHIA; Angantyr; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Particle collisions are an essential component to the research methodology of particle physics. These investigations are not only conducted in experimental laboratories but also through programs such as PYTHIA that simulate a collision or ``event" and then compare its results to known experimental data.
