1. 1. Neutron backgrounds in neutrino-nucleus scattering at the European Spallation Source

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

   Author : José Guilherme Rodrigues de Albuquerque Vale; [2023]
   Keywords : Neutrino-nucleus scattering; background; PHITS; weight window; ESS; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Being, when built, the most powerful neutron accelerator in the world, there will be a large number of potential discoveries at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund. One of the most exciting of these, from a particle physics point of view, is the Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEνNS). READ MORE

3. 2. Non-Diffractive Nuclear Excitations In Angantyr

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

   Author : Carl Rosenkvist; [2023]
   Keywords : Heavy-ion; non-diffractive; nuclear excitation; secondary interactions; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : To better understand collectivity in high energy physics, the heavy-ion collision model Angantyr was developed to be included in the event generator Pythia. In this model, proton-proton collision phenomenology is extrapolated to heavy-ion collisions without assuming a thermal plasma for particle production. READ MORE

4. 3. On the Energy Dependence of Parameters in PYTHIA8 Heavy-ion Collision Simulations

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

   Author : Felipe Abedrapo; [2022]
   Keywords : Heavy-ion Collisions; PYTHIA; Angantyr; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Particle collisions are an essential component to the research methodology of particle physics. These investigations are not only conducted in experimental laboratories but also through programs such as PYTHIA that simulate a collision or ``event" and then compare its results to known experimental data.

5. 4. Constraining the Neutron Star Equation of State

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Klara Olofsson; [2022]
   Keywords : neutron star; equation of state; dense matter;

   Abstract : Neutron stars are stellar objects of extreme properties. The dense core enables usto study nuclear matter beyond saturation density. The exact composition of matterat such densities is not yet established, but the thermodynamic states of the matteris theoreticized by the Equation of State (EOS). READ MORE

6. 5. Projections for charm balance functions in heavy-ion collisions

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

   Author : Tilde Bonnevier Wallstedt; [2022]
   Keywords : Heavy-ion physics; quark-gluon plasma; QGP; balance function; charm quark; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In this thesis, pp collisions were simulated using PYTHIA. D+ D- and D0 D0bar balance functions were created in order to contribute with a reference point for future balance functions measured in real data from Pb-Pb collisions. READ MORE
