1. Total Monte Carlo of the fission model in GEF and its influence on the nuclear evaporation in TALYS
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : Features recently added to the nuclear reaction software TALYS allow the use of the GEF model as a fission fragment generator. GEF generates data for fission fragment yields, total excitation energy (TXE), total kinetic energy (TKE) and individual fragment excitation energies (E*) with their standard deviations through Monte Carlo simulations for TALYS.

2. Determination of the source strength of an AmBe neutron source and design of flexible holder system for accurate measurements of ionising radiation
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : The goal of this project was to determine the source strength of an Americium-Beryllium neutron source by irradiating metal foils of different elements. The irradiated foils were then placed on a High Purity Germanium detector and γ-decay from the decay of the neutron induced reaction products was observed and used to deduce the neutron flux.

3. Thermal neutron counting and gamma-ray peak identification from fusion reactions, using a Sodern Genie-16 Neutron Generator
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : This thesis work focuses on the categorisation of a Sodern Genie-16 Neutron Generator, at the Nuclear Applications Laboratory, Lund University. To that end, the goals of this work focuses on the re-development of the pre-existing infrastructure surrounding the Sodern Genie-16 Neutron Generator for the purposes of internally irradiating samples, and the subsequent categorisation of the new configuration for extraction of fast neutrons.

4. Benchmark of the fission channels in TALYS
University essay fromAbstract : In this project, different fission models in the nuclear reaction code TALYS have been compared to GEF version 2020/1.2. The data included in the comparison are mass yield distributions, average prompt neutron energies per fragment mass, and average multiplicities of both neutrons and γ-rays per fragment mass.

5. Benchmarking fission rate simulations through comparison with neutron activation data
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : Metal foils were implemented in a measurement of neutron-induced fission at the IGISOL facility in 2016. These foils were activated by a neutron flux during the experiment and measured after the beam was turned off. The radioactive products from the neutron activation were identified in an analysis of γ-ray spectroscopy data. READ MORE
