    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

  3. 2. Dark Ages Interferometer (DALI) Deployment Rover: Energy System

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Energiteknik

    Author : Gustav Andersson; Emil Ericsson; [2014]
    Keywords : Rover; Moon; Photovoltaics; Battery; JPL; NASA; Electric; Energy; Solceller; Månen; Batterier; JPL; NASA; Energi;

    Abstract : The cosmic “Dark Ages” is the cosmic era between the epochs of recombination of cosmic microwave background and the formation of the first stars. The only signal from this epoch is from neutral hydrogen, which could represent one of the richest data sets in cosmology. READ MORE

  4. 3. Three-Dimensional Quantitative Cerenkov Luminescence Imaging

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

    Author : Anton Ajne; [2014]
    Keywords : Cerenkov; CLI; Optical imaging; Nuclear medicine; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) is an up-and-coming optical technique for in vivo imaging of beta-emitting radioisotopes. CLI relies on measurements of the Cerenkov radiation emitted when high-energy beta-particles travel through tissue. READ MORE

  5. 4. Hierarchical Micro- and Nanostructured Superhydrophobic Surfaces to Reduce Fibrous Encapsulation of Pacemaker Leads : Nanotechnology in Practical Applications

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Louise Carlsson; [2008]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The purpose of this master’s thesis was to, by the use of nanotechnology, improve material properties of the biomedical polymer Optim™, used as the insulation of pacemaker leads. Improved material properties are required to reduce the extent of fibrous encapsulation of the leads. READ MORE
