1. 1. Analysis of Atmospheric Muon Bundles with IceCube

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

   Author : Anna Selina Neyer; [2024]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This work is a preliminary study of the background of a search for dark, long-lived particles in the IceCube detector. The high flux of atmospheric muons in IceCube is considered background to the detector's primary science goal, which is to detect astrophysical neutrinos through the emission of Cherenkov radiation.

3. 2. Effects of Ultrafast Ionization in X-ray Coherent Diffraction Imaging

   University essay from KTH/Kemi

   Author : Arezu Sehati; [2023]
   Keywords : Coherent Diffraction Imaging; X-ray Free Electron Lasers; Refractive index; Core-shell nanoclusters; Rare-gas ionization; Koherent Diffraktionsavbildning; Röntgenfrielektronlaser; Brytningsindex; Core-shell-nanokluster; Ädelgasjonisering;

   Abstract : Koherent Diffraktionsavbildning med en intensiv röntgenpuls från en Frielektronlaser har möjliggjort strukturbestämning av isolerade nanopartiklar som inte går att studera med hjälp av konventionella metoder, så som elektronmikroskopi. En mycket kort pulslängd tillsammans med spridningssignalens beroende av objektets elektroniska struktur medför också möjligheten att studera inducerad ultrasnabb dynamik med denna teknik. READ MORE

4. 3. Probing the Structure of Ionised ISM in Lyman-Continuum-Leaking Green Pea Galaxies with MUSE

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

   Author : Chinmaya Nagar; [2023]
   Keywords : Emission-line ratio; Gaussian convolution; Green pea galaxies; ISM; Ionised ISM; Lyman continuum LyC ; Low-Redshift Lyman Continuum Survey LzLCS ; Lyman continuum emitter LCE ; LyC escape; LyC escape fraction; MUSE; MPDAF; Voronoi binning;

   Abstract : Lyman continuum (LyC) photons are known to be responsible for reionising the universe after the end of the Dark Ages, which marked a period called the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR). While these high-energy photons are thought to predominantly originate from young, hot, massive stars within the earliest galaxies, and contributions from high-energy sources like quasars and AGN, the origins of these photons are yet not well known and highly debated.

5. 4. Experimental Study of Magnetic Field Effects on Hairpin SNSPD Turn Designs for Single Photon Detection : Investigating the Relationship between Magnetic Field Strength and SNSPD Performance

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : James Arthur Sutton; [2023]
   Keywords : SNSPD; Hairpin device; Magnetic field effect; Current crowding; SNSPD; Hårnålsanordning; Magnetfältseffekt; Nuvarande trängsel;

   Abstract : Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors (SNSPDs) are a promising technology for detecting single photon emissions with high efficiency and low noise. This detector class has numerous applications in quantum optics, communication, and sensing. READ MORE

6. 5. The Higgs Width in Higgs production in association with a W+ boson

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

   Author : Wijeratne Mohandiramge Umashi Navisha Fernando; [2023]
   Keywords : Higgs boson; Higgs width; off-shell; on-shell; narrow-width approximation; MadGraph5_MC@NLO; W boson; supersymmetry; dark matter; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The width of the Higgs boson is a quantity that cannot be measured directly from the on-shell Higgs peak; it would have to be measured indirectly. In 2013, Caola and Melnikov developed a method to determine the Higgs width by using off-shell and on-shell cross-sections and applying the narrow-width approximation. READ MORE
