1. 1. Decay Chains of Fast Alpha Emitters in the Actinide Region

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

   Author : Tanvir Sayed; [2024]
   Keywords : alpha decay; alpha emissions; fine structure; decay chain; decay scheme; alpha spectrometry; actinide; nucleus; nuclear structure; nuclear states; energy levels; uranium isotopes; U310 experiment; parasitic runs; decay station; TASISpec ; moving window deconvolution; digitisers; alpha-gamma coincidence; 221-Th decay; fine structure of alpha decay to 217-Ra; GSI; Gamow s theory; Geiger-Nuttall; chain search; short half-lives; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : With the advent of increasingly advanced spectroscopic instruments after the turn of the century, it has become accessible to unravel the structure of instantly ‘vanishing’ nuclei, with lifetimes as short as 1 μs, and responsible for pile-up events in analog electronics. Experimental data has been recorded by the Nuclear Structure Group at Lund University for 48Ca/50Ti + nat. READ MORE

3. 2. Investigating surface spring snow : Changes in the isotopic composition and conductivity along an orographic precipitation gradient in northern Fennoscandia

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Sara Andersson; [2023]
   Keywords : stable isotopes; snow; precipitation; hydrology; orography; earth science;

   Abstract : Stable isotopes of oxygen (O18) and hydrogen (H2) are used as proxies of past climates when ice preserved in the polar icecaps. The main assumption when doing paleoclimatic reconstructions using these isotopes is that the isotopic composition of the snow that turned into ice reflect the present temperature of the planet during deposition.

4. 3. Investigation of Ion Extraction Anomalies at TwinEBIS

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

   Author : Niek van Woudenberg; [2023]
   Keywords : CERN; ISOLDE; Ion Source; EBIS; REXEBIS; TwinEBIS; Ion losses; Charge Breeding; Ion Extraction; CST Studio Suite; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : 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

5. 4. Legacy effects of temperature alterations on microbial resistance and resilience to drying and rewetting

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Franklin Lee Harris; [2023]
   Keywords : microbial ecology; soil; carbon dynamics; high latitudes; climate change; moisture stress; isotopes; respiration; trait based ecology; soil microbes; Environmental Changes in High Latitudes EnCHIL ; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : With warming in soils due to climate change, a series of secondary factors arise, which have multifaceted effects on soil microbial communities. Of these, alterations to soil moisture are among the most crucial to understanding how microbial functions will change in the face of climate change. READ MORE

6. 5. Biogeochemistry and Peat Properties of Restored Peatlands

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Author : Pelle Belaieff Kronborg; [2022]
   Keywords : Drainage; Bulk density; Nitrogen; Carbon; Stable isotopes;

   Abstract : Globally, peatlands comprise the most important soil organic carbon pool storing approximately one third of all terrestrial soil carbon. Drainage can turn peatlands to net sources of carbon dioxide. Peatlands have historically been drained to increase the productivity of agriculture and forestry. READ MORE
