  1. 6. Constructing and commissioning of a Multi-Grid neutron detector prototype for the European Spallation Source

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/European Spallation Source ESS AB

    Author : Rebecka Wahlén; [2022]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A prototype of a novel 10B-based neutron detector called the Multi-Grid detector has been constructed, tested and commissioned for the European Spallation Source (ESS). The detector is constructed after the specifications set by the CSPEC instrument at ESS and is therefore called the CSPEC Multi-Grid detector. READ MORE

  3. 7. Development of methods for detection of radioactive aerosols of special importance for the ESS facility

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Martin Carlström; [2021]
    Keywords : alpha spectrometry; radioactive aerosols; spectrum simulation;

    Abstract : With the construction of the European Spallation Source (ESS) steadily approaching the operational phase, an environmental monitoring program will soon be implemented with the purpose of monitoring emissions. With regard to radiation safety, it is highly important to monitor alpha emitting radionuclides in aerosol form. READ MORE

  4. 8. Development of a Neutron Activation Analysis station at the Lund Ion Beam Analysis Facility

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

    Author : Josephine Lindsey-Clark; [2021]
