  1. 1. Neutron Veto Inefficiency Studies with FLUKA for the LDMX Hadronic Calorimeter

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

    Author : Jaida Raffelsberger; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Dark matter accounts for about 85% of all matter in the Universe, yet its particle nature remains unknown. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed fixed-target missing-momentum experiment that intends to probe the predominantly experimentally uncharted MeV-GeV mass range for "light dark matter".

  3. 2. Monte Carlo simulations of Linear Energy Transfer distributions in radiation therapy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : David Dahlgren; [2021]
    Keywords : Radiotherapy; Particle Physics; Linear Energy Transfer; proton therapy; carbon ion therapy;

    Abstract : In radiotherapy, a quantity asked for by clinics when calculating a treatment plan, along withdose, is linear energy transfer. Linear energy transfer is defined as the absorbed energy intissue per particle track length and has been shown to increase with relative biologicaleffectiveness untill the overkilling effect.

  4. 3. Investigation of the origin of stray radiation at XFEL using FLUKA

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Terese Hellström; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser facility (XFEL) provides ultra-short x-ray pulsesof high peak brilliance that are used in research to analyse atomic or molecular structures.The facility accelerates electrons and moves them through an undulator system consistingof several undulator cells containing permanent magnet poles supplying an alternatingmagnetic field, which causes the electrons to emit x-ray pulses.

  5. 4. Study of an Alternative Pion Collector Scheme for the ESS Neutrino Super Beam Project

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/FREIA

    Author : Patrik Simion; [2019]
    Keywords : FLUKA; flair; FREIA; particle physics; essnusb; beam; collector; pion; neutrino; super beam; ESS;

    Abstract : The ESSnuSB will produce a high intensity neutrino super beam based on the 3 ms long proton pulses at 14 Hz from the ESS linac. With the use of a conventional normal-conducting van der Meer horn, to collect pions from the neutrino target, these 3 ms pulses will have to be compressed to of the order of 1 microsecond in order to avoid overheating of the magnet current conductors.

  6. 5. Neutron Irradiation of Concrete at TSL : a Comparison of Nuclide Specific Measurmentswith FLUKA Simulations.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/The Svedberg-laboratoriet

    Author : Christer Åström; [2017]
    Keywords : Neutron; Irradiation; Concrete; FLUKA; The Svedberg Laboratoy; Monte Carlo; Gamma-ray Spectroscopy;

    Abstract : This thesis studies the possibility of using the Monte Carlo simulation program FLUKA to determine the neutron induced radioactivity of concrete walls at the The Svedberg Laboratory (TSL) in Uppsala. If a simulation of the activation would produce reliable results, it would be a useful complement to measurements for the decommissioning and clearance of the buildings of the facility. READ MORE
