1. 1. Optimization of Gammasphere Data Following the Nuclear Reaction 36Ar + 24Mg → 60Zn∗

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

   Author : Paul Böhm; [2023]
   Keywords : re-calibration; Gammasphere; 54Fe; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The experiment at Argonne National Laboratory aimed to study the fusion-evaporation reaction following the collision of a high-energy particle beam of 36Ar with a stationary target of 24Mg. This paper outlines the creation and implementation of an automated re-calibration procedure for the high-purity Germanium detectors comprising the Gammasphere array used for γ-ray spectroscopy in this experiment.

3. 2. Determination of the source strength of an AmBe neutron source and design of flexible holder system for accurate measurements of ionising radiation

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Mathilde Ragot; [2022]
   Keywords : neutron source nuclear physics;

   Abstract : The goal of this project was to determine the source strength of an Americium-Beryllium neutron source by irradiating metal foils of different elements. The irradiated foils were then placed on a High Purity Germanium detector and γ-decay from the decay of the neutron induced reaction products was observed and used to deduce the neutron flux.

4. 3. Test and Calibration of CUBES: a CubeSat X-ray Detector

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Caroline Holmberg; [2022]
   Keywords : Applied Physics; Astroparticle Physics; Tillämpad fysik; Astropartikelfysik;

   Abstract : CUBES is an X-ray detector that will be placed aboard the KTH 3U CubeSat mission, MIST. Its purpose is to detect high energy X-rays as well as to test various components in a space environment. Two CUBES will be placed on the satellite. Each CUBES consists of a printed circuit board (PCB) with three multi pixel photon counters (MPPCs). READ MORE

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

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

   Author : Daniel Álvarez Franco; [2022]
   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

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

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