  1. 1. Non-linear effects in the ATLAS track-counting luminosity measurement

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Daniel Gautam; [2023]
    Keywords : Particle physics; CERN; ATLAS; Track counting; Luminosity; Monte Carlo; Track Selection;

    Abstract : In this thesis the linearity of the ATLAS track-counting luminosity measurement is studied using two different sets Monte Carlo simulated crossings of proton-proton bunches. A primary high-momentum, or hard, interaction must be chosen for the Monte Carlo simulation. READ MORE

  3. 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

  4. 3. Expansions of neutrino oscillation and decay probabilities in matter

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Jesper Grönroos; [2023]
    Keywords : Theoretical physics; Particle physics; Neutrino physics; Neutrino oscillations; Series expansions; Physics beyond the Standard Model; Teoretisk fysik; Partikelfysik; Neutrinofysik; Neutrinooscillationer; Serieutvecklingar; Fysik bortom Standardmodellen;

    Abstract : We consider a simple model for invisible neutrino decay as a sub-leading effect in the standard three-flavor neutrino oscillation framework, and use the Cayley–Hamilton formalism to obtain a full set of neutrino oscillation probabilities in matter. These are given as analytical series expansions in the small parameters α ∼ O(λ^2) and s_13 ∼ O(λ), where λ ≡ 0. READ MORE

  5. 4. Neutrino Hotspots in the Universe: a Sensitivity Study Using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Kiana Ghiassi; Julia Salwén; [2023]
    Keywords : Astrophysics; Neutrino Astronomy; Particle Physics; Neutrinos; Blazars; Sensitivity Study; IceCube Neutrino Obesvatory;

    Abstract : In this report, we aim to assess the sensitivity and 5$\sigma$ discovery potential of IceCube, the largest neutrino observatory on Earth, and compare it with prior findings. Our thesis will focus on a point source analysis, exploring the energy and declination dependencies, with particular emphasis on high-energy neutrinos. READ MORE

  6. 5. Reconstruction of the energy of neutrinos with neural networks: Event-by-event uncertainty estimation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Ting Wing CHOI; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : When high-energy neutrinos interact with matter, radio waves will be emitted. Radio detectionallows us to measure UHE(> 1016eV) neutrinos by instrumenting a huge volume with a sparsearray of radio antenna stations at a low cost. READ MORE
