  1. 6. Neutron Veto Inefficiency Studies with FLUKA for the LDMX Hadronic Calorimeter

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

    Author : Jaida Raffelsberger; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Dark matter accounts for about 85% of all matter in the Universe, yet its particle nature remains unknown. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed fixed-target missing-momentum experiment that intends to probe the predominantly experimentally uncharted MeV-GeV mass range for "light dark matter".

  3. 7. Ion Induced Particle Desorption From Self Supporting Nanomembranes : Influence of Different Geometries and Particle Types

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Jonas Beling; [2023]
    Keywords : ion; physics; ion physic; scattering; desorption; sputtering; jon; fysik; jonfysik;

    Abstract : Nanoelectronics is a field undergoing rapid development, meaning knowledge of the materials and methods used in nano-scale systems is a driving force in the industry. Silicon is a well known material in nanoelectronics commonly used as a semiconductor and is therefore a good representative for nanomaterials in general. READ MORE

  4. 8. Total Monte Carlo of the fission model in GEF and its influence on the nuclear evaporation in TALYS

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Karlsson Peter; [2023]
    Keywords : physics; nuclear physics; fission; neutron-induced; evaporation; Hauser-Feshbach; GEF; TALYS; Total Monte Carlo; TMC; fysik; kärnfysik; neutron-inducerad;

    Abstract : Features recently added to the nuclear reaction software TALYS allow the use of the GEF model as a fission fragment generator. GEF generates data for fission fragment yields, total excitation energy (TXE), total kinetic energy (TKE) and individual fragment excitation energies (E*) with their standard deviations through Monte Carlo simulations for TALYS.

  5. 9. Optimization of Gammasphere Data Following the Nuclear Reaction 36Ar + 24Mg → 60Zn∗

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

    Author : Paul Böhm; [2023]
    Keywords : re-calibration; Gammasphere; 54Fe; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The experiment at Argonne National Laboratory aimed to study the fusion-evaporation reaction following the collision of a high-energy particle beam of 36Ar with a stationary target of 24Mg. This paper outlines the creation and implementation of an automated re-calibration procedure for the high-purity Germanium detectors comprising the Gammasphere array used for γ-ray spectroscopy in this experiment.

  6. 10. Error propagation in nuclear models

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Artis Mucenieks; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this thesis we perform error analysis of a nuclear model based on density-functional theory developed in Lund. The Lund model allows us to perform calculations of nuclear spectra more efficiently by constructing a simple effective Hamiltonian reproducing the quadrupole deformation and pairing interaction strength parameters of a spherical Hartree-Fock reference functional.
