  1. 1. Misalignment effects on the physics performance of the inner tracker upgrade at the ALICE experiment

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

    Author : Jesper Karlsson Gumprecht; [2024]
    Keywords : ALICE; ITS; ITS2; ITS3; O2; O2Physics; Distortion; Misalignment; Alignment; Realignment; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the physics performance of an approved inner tracker upgrade of the ALICE experiment involving a novel and ultra-thin silicon detector with a cylindrical geometry. During the thesis work, a method was developed in simulations to induce distortions to the detector’s geometry, and the resulting loss in physics performance was evaluated. READ MORE

  2. 2. Implementation and characterization of Silicon detectors for studies on neutron-induced nuclear reactions

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Leo Lehtilä; [2019]
    Keywords : Silicon detector; Silicon telescope; Ultra-thin silicon detector; Energy resolution; Radioactive source; Am-241; Cf-252; Fission Fragments; Alpha Particles;

    Abstract : Energy resolution characteristics of silicon surface barrier detector signals amplified by different preamplifiers and spectroscopic amplifiers have been studied. The characterization has been done using alpha particles from an 241Am source and spontaneous fission fragments from two Cf sources. READ MORE

  3. 3. The Channeling Effect in Ultra-Thin dE-E Monolithic Silicon Telescopes

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

    Author : Fredrik Parnefjord Gustafsson; [2017]
    Keywords : dead-layer; Channelling; The Channeling effect; Plasma effect; Nucleosynthesis; Astrophysics; Ultra-thin silicon detectors; Inhomogenous Big Bang; MST; deadlayer; Pelletron; 8Li; cross-section; Kikuchi pattern; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A new method has been proposed to study the low energy resonances of 8Li(alpha,n)11B at Ecm ≅ 0.5 MeV using dE-E Monolithic Silicon Telescopes (MSTs). Each telescope consists of five ultra-thin ∼1 µm (dE) silicon detector pads on a ∼500 µm (E) silicon detector. READ MORE
