  1. 1. Development of Radon Detectors for Earthquake Prediction

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Alma Partos; Astrid Schöldström; [2023]
    Keywords : Radon; earthquake; gamma ray spectroscopy;

    Abstract : The purpose of this project is to simulate the detection of γ-ray spectra emitted by radon isotopes and their daughters. This is done as a contribution to the development of radiation detectors to be used in a research project investigating the possibility of using increased amounts of the radioactive gas radon as an earthquake precursor.

  3. 2. Simulations of stray radiation in the European XFEL undulators with the Geant4 toolkit

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Guillermo Lopez Basurco; [2022]
    Keywords : Geant4; Monte Carlo simulations; XFEL undulators; gamma radiation flux;

    Abstract : The European XFEL is an X-ray free electron laser research facility that generates ultrashort, high intensity flashes. Three SASE undulator systems are made of undulator segments and intersection components. READ MORE

  4. 3. PERFORMANCE OF THE PHOTODETECTOR FOR THE ACTIVE SHIELD OF THE COSI SPACE TELESCOPE

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Keywords : Geant4; scintillation; BGO; CsI; simulation; COSI; telescope; photoelectric effect;

    Abstract : The COmpton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a space telescope that aims to study the soft gamma regime (0.2-5 MeV), capable of performing spectroscopy, imaging and polarimetry of cosmic gamma sources. READ MORE

  5. 4. Nuclear Structure near the Proton Drip-line: A Search for Excited States in 62Ge

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

    Author : Dalia Farghaly; [2022]
    Keywords : nuclear physics; nuclear structure; proton drip-line; excited states; germanium; fusion-evaporation reaction; experimental nuclear physics; gamma sphere; gamma spectroscopy; HPGe detectors; data analysis; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : An experiment to study mirror symmetry in the mass A = 60 region was performed at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in 2020. The fusion-evaporation reaction 40Ca + 24Mg → 64Ge* at a beam energy of 106 MeV was used to populate excited states in 62Ge. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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.
