1. 1. Analysis of Atmospheric Muon Bundles with IceCube

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

   Author : Anna Selina Neyer; [2024]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This work is a preliminary study of the background of a search for dark, long-lived particles in the IceCube detector. The high flux of atmospheric muons in IceCube is considered background to the detector's primary science goal, which is to detect astrophysical neutrinos through the emission of Cherenkov radiation.

3. 2. Probing Charm Production with Three-Particle Correlations in pp Collisions

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

   Author : Kim Haupt; [2023]
   Keywords : pp collisions; charm production; three-particle correlation; Pythia; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate possible correlations between charm production and baryon production in proton-proton collisions through three-particle correlations. The question attempted to be answered is where, for a given charmed baryon, the balancing anti-charm particle and balancing anti-baryon are located. READ MORE

4. 3. The Commissioning of a Pixelated Charge-particle Detector : for High-sensitivity Measurements of Hydrogen

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Joacim Stenlund; Aram Himelius; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The Tandem Laboratory at Uppsala University, a national research infrastructure forworld-leading materials analysis, has a long history of performing hydrogen measurementusing NRA (Nuclear Reaction Analysis). This project intents to diversify the infras-tructure for hydrogen measurement by investigating the feasibility of an advanced ERCS(Elastic Recoil Coincidence Scattering) system, enabling finer detection limits.

5. 4. Particle Detection in Bone Marrow Using CNNs and Transformer Networks

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

   Author : Anna Källén; Marcus Williams; [2023]
   Keywords : Bone Marrow; Dark Field Microscopy; Fourier Ptychography; Machine Learning; Convolutional Neural Networks; Transformer Networks; Quantisation; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The critical role of hematological stem cells, concentrated in bone marrow, in disease diagnosis makes the detection of these cells an imperative task. The current process, however, is slow and heavily reliant on expert interpretation, underscoring the need for automation. READ MORE

6. 5. 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".
