1. 1. Analysis of Atmospheric Muon Bundles with IceCube

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

   Author : Anna Selina Neyer; [2024]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This work is a preliminary study of the background of a search for dark, long-lived particles in the IceCube detector. The high flux of atmospheric muons in IceCube is considered background to the detector's primary science goal, which is to detect astrophysical neutrinos through the emission of Cherenkov radiation.

3. 2. Developments Towards High-Resolution Muonic Atom X-ray Spectroscopy of Low-Z Elements : For precision measurements of absolute nuclear charge radii

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

   Author : Benjamin Verbeek; [2023]
   Keywords : muon physics; subatomic physics; charge radius; nucleus; lithium; silicon drift detector; microcalorimeter;

   Abstract : This Master's thesis investigates a method to measure atomic nuclei with record precision using muonic atom X-ray spectroscopy. In particular, 6Li is measured experimentally. The method used is independent from the previous most precise measurement of the 6Li nuclear charge radius which uses electron scattering. READ MORE

4. 3. Rejection of the Photon Induced Background in LDMX at 8 GeV

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

   Author : Erik Wallin; [2022]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed fixed target experiment at SLAC's LCLS-II electron beamline that will attempt direct production of sub-GeV dark matter, measurable through a missing momentum and missing energy signature. An initial run of LDMX is planned at 4 GeV beam energy, for which a study on LDMX's capabilities to separate dark matter production events from the standard model background was previously performed.

5. 4. Low-dimensional Magnetism in Novel 2D Honeycomb Materials

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

   Author : Sebastian Johnsen; [2021]
   Keywords : Applied physics; Materials physics; Quantum materials; Magnetism; Muons; Neutrons; Tillämpad fysik; Materialfysik; Kvantmaterial; Magnetism; Myoner; Neutroner;

   Abstract : A Kitaev quantum spin liquid is a phase of matter predicted to host excitations that can be used to preform fault-tolerant quantum computation. Though the theoretical prediction of such a state is on firm footing, its realisation in real materials has proven to be elusive. READ MORE

6. 5. Increasing the efficiency of the CERN accelerators by use of Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES)

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/FREIA

   Author : Joakim Kvarnström; [2021]
   Keywords : Energy Storage; Power Conversion; Particle Accelerator; Superconductivity; SMES;

   Abstract : This report explains how an SMES is operated and how SMES systems could be used to increase the efficiency of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Future Circular Collider (FCC) as well as to reduce the very high power needs of a future Muon Collider (MC). The performance of SMES for other applications and late developments of the technique will also be described. READ MORE
