  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. 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. Characterization of a Bismuth germanate Anti-Compton Scattering Shield for use with a Germanium COMPEX detector module

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

    Author : Samuel Dawes; [2022]
    Keywords : COMPEX; Lundium; BGO; ACS; gamma-ray spectroscopy; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The scope of this work is to help determine the functional improvement brought on by introducing a Bismuth germanate (BGO) Anti-Compton Scattering (ACS) shield system to a germanium COMPEX detector module. The COMPEX germanium detector module is already an extremely useful addition in examining gamma-ray spectroscopy. READ MORE

  5. 4. Measuring the vertical muon intensity with the ALTO prototype at Linnaeus University

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

    Author : Magnus Norén; [2021]
    Keywords : Muon Intensity; ALTO; CoMET; Cosmic Rays; VHE Gamma Rays; Extensive Air Shower; Water Cherenkov Detector; Scintillation Detector; Monte Carlo Simulation; GEANT4;

    Abstract : ALTO is a project, currently in the research and development phase, with the goal of constructing a Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray observatory in the southern hemisphere. It will detect the particle content reaching the ground from the interactions of either VHE gamma rays or cosmic rays in the atmosphere known as extensive air showers. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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
