1. 1. Prospects for a Free Electron Laser at the FemtoMAX Beamline

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

   Author : Johan Holmberg; [2024]
   Keywords : Free Electron Lasers; FEL; synchrotron radiation; MAX IV; FemtoMAX; GENESIS 1.3; XFEL; X-rays; soft X-rays; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : A Free Electron Laser (FEL), is a device that generates extremely coherent and brilliant radiation using electrons accelerated to relativistic velocities in a particle accelerator. The process utilises similar equipment to what is used at a synchrotron source like MAX IV, but in addition there is an interaction between the relativistic electron beam and the generated radiation to achieve an exponential growth in radiation intensity.

3. 2. Combustibility study of resin for warm magnet coils used at CERN

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Juan Carlos Lopez Santiago; [2023]
   Keywords : Epoxy resin; flammability; radiation; aging; cone calorimeter; micro combustion calorimeter; thermogravimetric analysis; lateral ignition and flame spread test; chemical composition of polymers; polymers; epoxy composite; polymer composite; failure of epoxy resins; magnetic coil; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : CERN is the world's largest particle physics laboratory, housing multiple accelerators that rely heavily on magnetic coils. These coils are integral to the generation of powerful magnetic fields essential for particle accelerator experiments, detectors, and other equipment. READ MORE

4. 3. Probing Charm Production with Three-Particle Correlations in pp Collisions

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

   Author : Kim Haupt; [2023]
   Keywords : pp collisions; charm production; three-particle correlation; Pythia; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate possible correlations between charm production and baryon production in proton-proton collisions through three-particle correlations. The question attempted to be answered is where, for a given charmed baryon, the balancing anti-charm particle and balancing anti-baryon are located. READ MORE

5. 4. Developing an ML-based model for RF tuning of the DTL machine at ESS

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

   Author : Amin Hosseini Nejad; [2023]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The European Spallation Source (ESS) infrastructure is being constructed in Lund, and will be one of the most powerful research facilities of its type in the world. The ESS linear accelerator (linac) utilizes different accelerating sections where a wide variety of techniques should be employed to accelerate a beam of protons to 2 GeV kinetic energy through Radio Frequency (RF) cavities before being collided with a tungsten target for the final production of neutrons, through the process of spallation.

6. 5. Constraining the Higgs width in Higgs production associated with a top quark pair

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

   Author : Benjamin Dahlén; [2023]
   Keywords : Higgs; width; cross section; on-shell; off-shell; invariant mass; Standard model; upper bound; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In this thesis we study the width of the Higgs boson in the process pp → t ̄t 4l at LO using MadGraph5_aMC@NLO to generate the events. The contributions including the Higgs signal, continuum background and interference were considered in order to calculate the expected number of events in a broad range of four-lepton invariant masses.
