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

   Author : Tanvir Sayed; [2024]
   Keywords : alpha decay; alpha emissions; fine structure; decay chain; decay scheme; alpha spectrometry; actinide; nucleus; nuclear structure; nuclear states; energy levels; uranium isotopes; U310 experiment; parasitic runs; decay station; TASISpec ; moving window deconvolution; digitisers; alpha-gamma coincidence; 221-Th decay; fine structure of alpha decay to 217-Ra; GSI; Gamow s theory; Geiger-Nuttall; chain search; short half-lives; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : With the advent of increasingly advanced spectroscopic instruments after the turn of the century, it has become accessible to unravel the structure of instantly ‘vanishing’ nuclei, with lifetimes as short as 1 μs, and responsible for pile-up events in analog electronics. Experimental data has been recorded by the Nuclear Structure Group at Lund University for 48Ca/50Ti + nat. READ MORE

3. 2. Machine Learning for Pulse Shape Analysis of Heavy Ions

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Steven Hendrik Bijl; [2023]
   Keywords : Heavy Ions; Machine Learning;

   Abstract : Most of the Generation IV nuclear reactors designs are intended to operate with a fast neutron spectrum. This necessitates further investigation into nuclear fuel behaviour because fast neutrons yield a higher neutron multiplicity with fission fragments, significantly impacting the criticality assessment of these reactors.

4. 3. Multi-ion radiotherapy treatment planning

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

   Author : Gustav Lidberg; [2023]
   Keywords : multi-ion radiotherapy; heavy-ion radiotherapy; carbon-ion radiotherapy; treatment planning; LET optimization;

   Abstract : Multi-ion radiotherapy has been suggested as a new way to treat cancer, combining the radiological advantages of lighter and heavier ions in a single treatment to improve plan robustness and increase LETd in the target. To succeed, multi-ion radiotherapy requires a treatment planning system capable of computing dose for and optimising multi-ion treatment plans. READ MORE

5. 4. Atomic Structure Calculations Using Configuration-Interaction And Many-Body Perturbation Theory For Spectral Modelling Of Neutron Star Mergers : Example Of Ce I - Iv

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

   Author : Fredrik Plane; [2023]
   Keywords : Computational atomic physics; Atomic physics; Physics; Astronomy; Astrophysics; Neutron stars; Stars; Relativisitc atomic physics; Configuration-interaction; Perturbation theory; Many-body perturbation theory;

   Abstract : The binary neutron star merger of 2017 and its corresponding electromagnetic signature resembling that of a kilonova has been one of the most groundbreaking astrophysical occurrences in the last decade. Indications of r-process nucleosynthesis in this event presents new opportunities for learning about the astrophysical origin of heavy elements. READ MORE

6. 5. Pulse Shape Analysis of Si Detector Signals from Fission Fragments using the LOHENGRIN Spectrometer

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Dimitrios Papaioannou; [2023]
   Keywords : plasma delay time; PDT; pulse shape analysis; waveform; LOHENGRIN; nuclear; fission;

   Abstract : Nuclear physics experiments typically involve the collection and analysis of detector signals produced by the interaction of subatomic particles with matter to deduce various quantities. When heavy ions are involved, Si Detector signals are distorted by the formation of a plasma-like cloud from the interaction between the heavy ions and the detector material. READ MORE
