1. Development of Radon Detectors for Earthquake Prediction
University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)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.

2. Prototyping of an automated cyclic Neutron Activation Analysis setup
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : A prototype Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) setup based on a Deuterium-Tritium (DT) neutron generator is under development at Lund University. It serves as proof-of-principle for NAA based on a Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Source. READ MORE

3. Measuring the [C II]-to-H I connection in high-redshift absorption-selected galaxies
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : HI neutral gas is the basic building block of galaxies. It dictates the star formation rate and hence the metal enrichment rates within high redshift galaxies. HI neutral gas cannot be directly observed beyond z ≈ 0. READ MORE

4. 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 institutionenAbstract : 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. Dating lake bottom sediment by searching for 210Pb using gamma-ray spectroscopy
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : In a collaboration with limnologists at Uppsala University a planar HPGe detector has been used to find 210Pb in lake bottom sediment in hopes of getting an estimation for the sedimentation rate. Using a least squares fit to the data, the sedimentation rate was calculated to 0.08 ± 0. READ MORE
