  1. 16. Starshades: Geoengineering Solutions and Technosignatures in Direct Imaging Phase Curves

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

    Author : Claudia Skoglund; [2023]
    Keywords : Starshades; extraterrestrial intelligence; stellar evolution; technosignatures; phase curves; direct imaging; habitable zone.; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The stellar luminosity increases as a star evolves which inevitably yields a higher temperature on planets in orbit around the star. It is reasonable to assume that intelligent civilizations would tackle this issue through installing artificial structures that can alter the radiation received by the planet. READ MORE

  3. 17. Improving the thermal climate of schools in semi-desert climate : A case study of solutions in La Guajira, Colombia

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Michael Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : Solar chimney; Thermal comfort; Classrooms; School; La Guajira; Colombia;

    Abstract : As the climate changes, hot regions like La Guajira's semi-desert will become even hotter. It is projected that the average temperature in this region will increase by 2.4 ℃ over the course of this century, with a 20 % reduction in precipitation. READ MORE

  4. 18. The black hole information paradox and holography

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

    Author : Ona Mola Bertran; [2023]
    Keywords : information paradox; semiclassical physics; holography; AdS CFT correspondence; island formula; entanglement entropy;

    Abstract : Hawking theorized in 1974 that black holes emit particles as a quantum effect. It follows from this fact that a black hole that emits particles while absorbing none ends up evaporating. The process of black hole evaporation studied from semiclassical gravity violates quantum mechanics leading to serious problems. READ MORE

  5. 19. A Machine Learning Approach on Analysis of Emission Spectra for Application in XFEL Experiments

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Harald Agelii; [2023]
    Keywords : Structural biology; Machine learning; Neural networks; emission spectrum; XFEL; X-ray free electron laser; SFX; Serial femtosecond X-ray crystallography; Proteins; Diagnostics;

    Abstract : In this thesis we investigate two potential applications of machine learning in the context of X-ray imaging and spectroscopy of biological samples, particularly such using X-ray free electron lasers (XFEL). We first investigate the possibility of using an emission spectrum, recorded from a sample after being probed by an incident X-ray, as a diagnostic tool. READ MORE

  6. 20. 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
