1. 1. Calibration and preparation of the data analysis of the DORN experiment on board the Chang'E 6 lunar mission.

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Íñigo de Loyola Chacartegui Rojo; [2023]
   Keywords : Radon; lunar mission; alpha spectrometry; space instrumentation; performance testing and validation;

   Abstract : As part of the first agreement between the French (CNES) and the Chinese (CNSA) space agencies in terms of space exploration, the DORN instrument will fly on board the Chinese Chang'E 6 mission in 2024. It aims to measure the amount of Radon escaping from the lunar soil to better understand what governs the concentration of this noble gas which contributes to the endogenous origin of the lunar exosphere.

3. 2. Test and Calibration of CUBES: a CubeSat X-ray Detector

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Caroline Holmberg; [2022]
   Keywords : Applied Physics; Astroparticle Physics; Tillämpad fysik; Astropartikelfysik;

   Abstract : CUBES is an X-ray detector that will be placed aboard the KTH 3U CubeSat mission, MIST. Its purpose is to detect high energy X-rays as well as to test various components in a space environment. Two CUBES will be placed on the satellite. Each CUBES consists of a printed circuit board (PCB) with three multi pixel photon counters (MPPCs). READ MORE

4. 3. Complementarity of high energy and high intensity experiments for dark photon benchmarks

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

   Author : Joshua Greaves; [2022]
   Keywords : Dark matter; LDMX; Dark photon; Complementarity; Snowmass; Relic density; Thermal relic; Relic abundance; Cross section; Constraints; Limits; Minimal models; Energy frontier; Intensity frontier; Madgraph; Madanalysis; Vector mediated; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Physical phenomena that are unexplained by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, are the subject of the area of research known as physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). BSM physics contains many Dark Matter (DM) theories which have emerged; from particles such as axions, neutrinos, and Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), to primordial black holes and others.

5. 4. Thermal neutron counting and gamma-ray peak identification from fusion reactions, using a Sodern Genie-16 Neutron Generator

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

   Author : Auden Ti; [2022]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This thesis work focuses on the categorisation of a Sodern Genie-16 Neutron Generator, at the Nuclear Applications Laboratory, Lund University. To that end, the goals of this work focuses on the re-development of the pre-existing infrastructure surrounding the Sodern Genie-16 Neutron Generator for the purposes of internally irradiating samples, and the subsequent categorisation of the new configuration for extraction of fast neutrons.

6. 5. Calibration of a Fast Neutron Time-of-Flight System

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

   Author : Armando Javier Morales Urrutia; [2021]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Future experiments with thermal neutrons at neutron facilities may encounter fast neutrons as sources of background. Understanding fast neutron behavior on an event-by-event basis in a detector is important for these complementary thermal neutron experiments. One way to study fast neutron events is by performing a time-of-flight measurement. READ MORE
