1. Combustibility study of resin for warm magnet coils used at CERN
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikAbstract : CERN is the world's largest particle physics laboratory, housing multiple accelerators that rely heavily on magnetic coils. These coils are integral to the generation of powerful magnetic fields essential for particle accelerator experiments, detectors, and other equipment. READ MORE

2. Investigation of Ion Extraction Anomalies at TwinEBIS
University essay from Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : The electron beam ion source REXEBIS at CERN-ISOLDE delivers highly-charged ra- dioactive ions for post-acceleration in the HIE-ISOLDE LINAC. Research and develop- ment of components for electron beam ion sources is carried out at the TwinEBIS test stand, currently equipped with a Brillouin electron gun called MEDeGUN. READ MORE

3. Inclusion of more sources in a commercial brachytherapy Monte Carlo
University essay fromAbstract : Brachytherapy is a cancer treatment method where a solid radioactive source is placed inside the body in order to target cancer cells with a high dose of radiation while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The most common method for treatment planning in brachytherapy is the TG43 formalism where the whole patient geometry is treated as water. READ MORE

4. Modelling of Fluid Flow and Contaminant Transport in Fractured Rock : Case Study
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : Drinking water contamination is a big concern in Sweden and is commonly traced back to being waste from former manufacturing industrial sites. Pollutants in the topsoil can be remediated by several techniques, such as decontamination or excavation but the toxins already enclosed in the bedrock cannot be treated the same and is harder to track possible contaminant pathways.

5. Determination of the homogeneity of the detection efficiency of silicon detectors using light ions
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : In this project, the homogeneity of the detection efficiency of two silicon detectors were examined using a radioactive alpha-source, 241Am, to study the surfaces of the detectors by exposing a small part of the detector at a time. By then observing the variations of the deposited alpha-energies at different positions on the detector, one can map the differences in the homogeneity of the surface. READ MORE
