  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

  3. 2. Juice/JDC ion measurement perturbations caused by spacecraft charging in the solar wind and Earth’s magnetosheath

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Derek van Winden; [2024]
    Keywords : Juice; Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer; JDC; Jovian plasma Dynamics and Composition analyzer; Particle Environment Package; PEP; Jupiter; Ganymede; Callisto; Europa; solar wind; magnetosheath; spacecraft charging; Spacecraft Plasma Interaction Software; SPIS; charging; plasma; measurement perturbations; perturbation; distortion; particle detector; Institutet för Rymdfysik; IRF; Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies; DIAS; European Space Agency; ESA;

    Abstract :  In July 2031, a new chapter in the exploration of the Jovian system will begin with the arrival of the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) at Jupiter. Launched on April 14 2024 as part of ESA’s Cosmic Vision programme, the mission aims to study Jupiter and its icy Galilean moons Callisto, Europa, and Ganymede. READ MORE

  4. 3. Characterization of neutron detection efficiency in a liquid organic scintillator

    University essay from

    Author : Ebba Wargh; Nadine Tabeshnia; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neutron detectors in the form of liquid organic scintillators are widely used for nuclear disarmament purposes. The main purpose of this thesis is to characterize the neutron detection efficiency of the organic liquid scintillator EJ-309 using Monte Carlo based simulations in the simulation program Geant4.

  5. 4. Beyond Pulse Position Modulation : a Feasibility Study

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Danielle Gustafsson; [2023]
    Keywords : telecommunications; pulse position modulation; error-correction;

    Abstract : During the thesis work, a feasibility study of the BPPM error-correction protocol is performed. The beyond pulse position modulation (BPPM) protocol was invented at Ericsson AB and describes a modulation encoding using vertically and horizontally polarized single photons for optical transmission and error-correction.

  6. 5. Evaluation of Cyber-Attacks in Networked Control Systems

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Teja Kedar Vadde Hulgesh; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Networked Control Systems (NCS) form an essential role in numerous critical infrastructures, including water distribution plants, water treatment plants, electric power grids, and power transmission networks. NCS employ a communication network to share data between the plant and the controller.
