1. 1. Characterization of neutron detection efficiency in a liquid organic scintillator

   University essay from

   Author : Ebba Wargh; Nadine Tabeshnia; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Neutron detectors in the form of liquid organic scintillators are widely used for nuclear disarmament purposes. The main purpose of this thesis is to characterize the neutron detection efficiency of the organic liquid scintillator EJ-309 using Monte Carlo based simulations in the simulation program Geant4.

3. 2. Neutron Veto Inefficiency Studies with FLUKA for the LDMX Hadronic Calorimeter

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

   Author : Jaida Raffelsberger; [2023]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Dark matter accounts for about 85% of all matter in the Universe, yet its particle nature remains unknown. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed fixed-target missing-momentum experiment that intends to probe the predominantly experimentally uncharted MeV-GeV mass range for "light dark matter".

4. 3. Characterisation of the LYCCA Double-Sided Silicon Strip Detectors

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

   Author : Marwan Mohamed; [2023]
   Keywords : DSSD LYCCA HISPEC FAIR Characterisation; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The goal of this thesis work is to describe the methods used and perform comprehensive testing of the Double-Sided Silicon-Strip Detectors (DSSD) prior to their implementation in the Lund-York-Cologne CAlorimeter (LYCCA) detector. In the framework of this project, the DSSD characterisation was carried out to ensure specification compliance prior to their "in-kind contribution" delivery to the HISPEC experiment at the NUSTAR collaboration.

5. 4. Improving polarizing neutron optics by introducing 11B4C as interlayers

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tunnfilmsfysik

   Author : Martin Falk; [2023]
   Keywords : Thin film multilayers; Neutron optics; Neutron polarization;

   Abstract : In this report, the effects of adding 11B4C as interlayers into Fe/Si multilayers is studied. Fe/Si multilayers are commonly used for neutron polarization at large research facilities, and improving the polarizing properties would improve their efficiency. READ MORE

6. 5. Prototyping of an automated cyclic Neutron Activation Analysis setup

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

   Author : Cornelius Maurer; [2022]
   Keywords : Nuclear Physics; Neutron activation analysis; cyclic-NAA; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : 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
