1. 1. Machine Learning for Pulse Shape Analysis of Heavy Ions

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Steven Hendrik Bijl; [2023]
   Keywords : Heavy Ions; Machine Learning;

   Abstract : Most of the Generation IV nuclear reactors designs are intended to operate with a fast neutron spectrum. This necessitates further investigation into nuclear fuel behaviour because fast neutrons yield a higher neutron multiplicity with fission fragments, significantly impacting the criticality assessment of these reactors.

3. 2. 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.

4. 3. Background Studies of the High-Intensity Baryon Extraction and Measurement (HIBEAM) Experiment at the European Spallation Source

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

   Author : Blahoslav Rataj; [2021]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The High-Intensity Baryon Extraction and Measurement experiment (HIBEAM) is proposed as one of the experimental stations at the European Spallation Source (ESS). This experiment will mainly focus on the neutron into sterile neutron oscillations which violate the baryon number (B) by one unit. READ MORE

5. 4. 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

6. 5. Characterisation of a neutron experimental station at the Lund Ion Beam Analysis Facility

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

   Author : Markus Kristensson; [2018]
   Keywords : neutrons; fast neutrons; thermal neutrons; neutron production; fusion; target materials; moderators; moderator materials; beam dump materials; neutron detection; neutron detector; coincidence measurements; nuclear physics; LIBAF; Lund Ion Beam Analysis Facility; particle accelerator; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : At the 3 MeV light ion accelerator of the Lund Ion Beam Analysis Facility (LIBAF), a beamline is about to be constructed with the purpose of producing neutrons as a higher yield complement to the current Source-Testing Facility. When operational, the beamline will provide the possibility of tagging both thermal and fast neutrons. READ MORE
