1. 1. Improving polarizing neutron optics by introducing 11B4C as interlayers

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tunnfilmsfysik

   Author : Martin Falk; [2023]
   Keywords : Thin film multilayers; Neutron optics; Neutron polarization;

   Abstract : In this report, the effects of adding 11B4C as interlayers into Fe/Si multilayers is studied. Fe/Si multilayers are commonly used for neutron polarization at large research facilities, and improving the polarizing properties would improve their efficiency. READ MORE

3. 2. Seeing Stars - Intensity Interferometry in the Laboratory and on the Ground

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Colin Carlile; [2021]
   Keywords : Stellar Physics Instrumentation Interferometry Cherenkov Telescope Array Intensity Interferometry; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Context Since the time of Tycho Brahe astronomy has been an observing science defined by the quality of its instrumentation. The introduction of primitive telescopes by Galileo in 1609 began a period of development of ever-larger telescopes with greater measuring precision. READ MORE

4. 3. Coupling of neutron optics and shielding using Vitess and Geant4

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

   Author : Ellen Brydevall; [2016]
   Keywords : Geant4; gamma radiation; neutron; ESS; Vitess; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The European Spallation Source (ESS) will be a material research center built around a powerful neutron source. At ESS, researchers will be able to carry out precise measurements using neutron scattering. The quality of the measurements is determined by the signal-to-noise ratio. READ MORE
