1. Decay Chains of Fast Alpha Emitters in the Actinide Region
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysikAbstract : 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

2. Dead layer determination for the new implantation detector of the LUNDIUM decay station
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : The Nuclear Structure Group in Lund, focuses on nuclear spectroscopy of decays of rare isotopes. A new decay station, called LUNDIUM, is currently being built, which will involve silicon and germanium detectors for the study of these nuclei. This thesis focuses on the characterization of one of the new silicon detectors, the implantation one. READ MORE

3. Assessment of the Capability for Vetoing Beta-Decay Events in the Lundium Decay Station
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : Alpha decay spectroscopy using the latest and most sensitive detector setup as well as fast sampling read-out electronics has become very important for discovery and analysis of short-lived nuclei created in collision experiments in the laboratory. The Nuclear Structure Group in Lund is currently developing the Lundium Decay Station for use in comprehensive nuclear spectroscopy of decays for rare isotopes, particularly in the heavy & superheavy region.

4. Extraction of energy and time from pile-up pulses with fast sampling ADC analysis techniques
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/KärnfysikAbstract : Debates of whether Z=114 and N=184 are the next magic numbers in nuclear physics have existed since the earliest predictions made in the 1960s. Until these days they have not been firmly established. READ MORE
