  1. 1. Prototyping of an automated cyclic Neutron Activation Analysis setup

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

    Author : Cornelius Maurer; [2022]
    Keywords : Nuclear Physics; Neutron activation analysis; cyclic-NAA; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A prototype Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) setup based on a Deuterium-Tritium (DT) neutron generator is under development at Lund University. It serves as proof-of-principle for NAA based on a Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Source. READ MORE

  3. 2. Determination of Proton Beam Waist Positions Using Beam Position Monitors

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

    Author : Gustav Gird Fahlström; [2022]
    Keywords : ESS; European Spallation Source; Proton beam; waist; BPM; Method; transverse; beam dynamics; beam physics; Lattice Error; Matrix formalism; Python; trajectory simulation; physics; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this work, we examine a novel method for the determination of proton beam waist locations using beam position monitors. Based on the lattice of the final transport line section of the European Spallation Source linac, a simplified version of the beam line composed of quadrupole magnets and correctors is constructed in Python using a matrix formalism.

  4. 3. Emergency Preparedness Process Proposal for Radiological Incidents at Accelerator Driven Facilities

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Leonie Victoria Stieren; [2021]
    Keywords : accelerator driven facilities; emergency response; crisis management; radiological hazard; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The European Spallation Source (ESS) is an accelerator driven research facility under construction. Once commissioned, a linear accelerator supplies protons to a target, whereupon neutrons are generated through a process called “spallation”. Neutron beam time will be available for a variety of scientific experiments. READ MORE

  5. 4. Development of a Neutron Activation Analysis station at the Lund Ion Beam Analysis Facility

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

    Author : Josephine Lindsey-Clark; [2021]
    Keywords : Neutron Activation Analysis; NAA; European Spallation Source; ESS; Lund Ion Beam Analysis Facility; LIBAF; Gamma-Ray Spectra; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This report outlines the first stages of the development of the Neutron Activation Analysis station at the Lund Ion Beam Analysis Facility in the Division of Nuclear Physics, Lund University. The motivation for this project is to use the Neutron Activation Analysis detection technique for environmental monitoring around the European Spallation Source, soon to come into operation.

  6. 5. Benchmarking fission rate simulations through comparison with neutron activation data

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Karlsson Peter; [2020]
    Keywords : Neutron activation; Gamma spectroscopy; Fission;

    Abstract : Metal foils were implemented in a measurement of neutron-induced fission at the IGISOL facility in 2016. These foils were activated by a neutron flux during the experiment and measured after the beam was turned off. The radioactive products from the neutron activation were identified in an analysis of γ-ray spectroscopy data. READ MORE
