1. 6. Cavity Beam Position Monitors State of the Art and Design Studies in the Context of the ILC Project

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

   Author : Laura Karina Pedraza Motavita; [2023]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The aim of this master thesis project is the study and evaluation of the design of cavity beam position monitors (BPM) for the International Linear Collider (ILC) project. The state-of-the-art of BPMs is investigated to determine the most appropriate existing BPM design for the requirements of the ILC. READ MORE

3. 7. Investigating the Adsorption of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances on Amine-functionalized Mesoporous Carbons

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : MOJISOLA SALISU; [2023]
   Keywords : Mesoporous carbon; PFOA; PFOS; PFAS; Rose Bengal; Adsorption;

   Abstract : Water pollution is a profound ecological concern, exerting detrimental effects on human well-being, ecological systems, and animal life. Among the emerging contaminants that critically influence water quality and have garnered substantial scientific interest in recent times are per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). READ MORE

4. 8. Event categorisation and Machine-learning Techniques in Searches for Higgs Boson Pairs in the ATLAS Experiment at the LHC

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

   Author : Milads Emadi; [2023]
   Keywords : Particle Physics; ATLAS; BDT; Boosted Decision Tree; Decision Tree; Optimization; Machine Learning; Analysis;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the pair production of Higgs bosons (di-Higgs events) at the ATLAS experiment in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), focusing on the channel where one Higgs boson decays into two bottom quarks and the other decays into two tau leptons. The main objective was to determine whether introducing a split in the invariant mass of the decay products from the two Higgs bosons (the di-Higgs mass) and using this as an analysis variable improves the sensitivity of the Boosted Decision Tree (BDT) machine learning algorithm to the di-Higgs signal.

5. 9. Validation of simulation with enhanced kaon production to investigate kaon background for LDMX

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

   Author : Lisa Andersson Loman; [2023]
   Keywords : Dark matter; experimental physics; simulations; kaons; particle physics; LDMX; background studies; mörk materia; partikelfysik; kaoner; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Dark matter is one of our universe’s largest mysteries and very little is known about what it is. One of the dominating theories, that it originates from an early universe thermal relic, indicates that it has interaction with the Standard Model. READ MORE

6. 10. Simulations of the Tenuous Upper Atmospheres of Exoplanets

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

   Author : Lucian Spitzner; [2023]
   Keywords : astronomy; astrophyics; exoplanets; transmission spectroscopy; magnetic fields; atmospheres; ions; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Over the last decade, the interest in research on extraterrestrial planets has expanded dramatically. With the number of confirmed exoplanets having increased tenfold over the last ten years, we now know that many different types of exoplanets exist. READ MORE
