  1. 1. Misalignment effects on the physics performance of the inner tracker upgrade at the ALICE experiment

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

    Author : Jesper Karlsson Gumprecht; [2024]
    Keywords : ALICE; ITS; ITS2; ITS3; O2; O2Physics; Distortion; Misalignment; Alignment; Realignment; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the physics performance of an approved inner tracker upgrade of the ALICE experiment involving a novel and ultra-thin silicon detector with a cylindrical geometry. During the thesis work, a method was developed in simulations to induce distortions to the detector’s geometry, and the resulting loss in physics performance was evaluated. READ MORE

  3. 2. Decay Chains of Fast Alpha Emitters in the Actinide Region

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

    Author : Tanvir Sayed; [2024]
    Keywords : alpha decay; alpha emissions; fine structure; decay chain; decay scheme; alpha spectrometry; actinide; nucleus; nuclear structure; nuclear states; energy levels; uranium isotopes; U310 experiment; parasitic runs; decay station; TASISpec ; moving window deconvolution; digitisers; alpha-gamma coincidence; 221-Th decay; fine structure of alpha decay to 217-Ra; GSI; Gamow s theory; Geiger-Nuttall; chain search; short half-lives; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : With the advent of increasingly advanced spectroscopic instruments after the turn of the century, it has become accessible to unravel the structure of instantly ‘vanishing’ nuclei, with lifetimes as short as 1 μs, and responsible for pile-up events in analog electronics. Experimental data has been recorded by the Nuclear Structure Group at Lund University for 48Ca/50Ti + nat. READ MORE

  4. 3. Indocyanine-green fluorescence imaging to detect anastomotic insufficiency after esophagectomy

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

    Author : Love Kildetoft; [2024]
    Keywords : Fluorescence; Imaging; Indocyanine-green; ICG; Esophageal cancer; Physics; Photonics; Image Analysis; Blood Perfusion; Anastomotic leakage; Anastomotic insufficiency; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This research project is concerned with the development of simulation models and image analysis algorithms, as well as instrumentation for characterizing anastomotic leakages after a patient has undergone surgery for esophageal cancer. Anastomotic leakage is a high-incidence complication after esophagectomy, a surgical procedure for esophageal cancer. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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.

  6. 5. Non-linear effects in the ATLAS track-counting luminosity measurement

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Daniel Gautam; [2023]
    Keywords : Particle physics; CERN; ATLAS; Track counting; Luminosity; Monte Carlo; Track Selection;

    Abstract : In this thesis the linearity of the ATLAS track-counting luminosity measurement is studied using two different sets Monte Carlo simulated crossings of proton-proton bunches. A primary high-momentum, or hard, interaction must be chosen for the Monte Carlo simulation. READ MORE
