  1. 1. Development of a guide system for free neutron oscillation searches at the European Spallation Source

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Lunds Tekniska Högskola; Lunds universitet/European Spallation Source ESS AB

    Author : Linnéa Björk; [2023]
    Keywords : ESS; neutrons; dark matter; antimatter; neutron guides; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this project, a neutron delivery system for the study of free neutron oscillations at the HIBEAM beamline at the European Spallation Source (ESS) has been developed. The HIBEAM experiment is part of a two-stage program at ESS which will address open questions in physics; specifically the nature of dark matter and the observed asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the Universe.

  3. 2. Coupling of neutron optics and shielding using Vitess and Geant4

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

    Author : Ellen Brydevall; [2016]
    Keywords : Geant4; gamma radiation; neutron; ESS; Vitess; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The European Spallation Source (ESS) will be a material research center built around a powerful neutron source. At ESS, researchers will be able to carry out precise measurements using neutron scattering. The quality of the measurements is determined by the signal-to-noise ratio. READ MORE

  4. 3. Fast Photoneutron Detection

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

    Author : Emil Rofors; [2016]
    Keywords : Neutron; neutron detection; spallation; scintillator; Monte Carlo; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The purpose of this project was to investigate fast photoneutron production from a series of materials commonly used for backing neutron beam guides. Fast neutrons were knocked out of these materials by exposing them to to high-energy photons at the Tagged-Photon Facility at MAX-lab in Lund, Sweden. READ MORE
