  1. 11. Test setup for LDMX HCal readout

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

    Author : Joshua Greaves; [2020]
    Keywords : Dark matter; LDMX; dark photon; hadronic calorimeter; photomultiplier tube; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : It is evident from cosmological observations such as the Cosmic Microwave Background, and the motion of galaxies, that the universe consists of approximately 5 times more mass than visible matter can account for. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) will take a unique approach in its hunt for dark matter; it will look for missing momentum signals in electron collisions with a Tungsten target, and will be looking in the sub GeV energy range for evidence of dark matter interactions.

  3. 12. Identification of Neutrons Using Digitized Waveforms

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

    Author : Rasmus Kjær Høier; [2019]
    Keywords : Digitizer; neutron; gamma-ray; pulse-shape discrimination; CNN; convolutional neural network; charge comparison; time of flight; source-testing facility; STF; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The advantages of performing neutron-tagging measurements using a waveform digitizer are explored. An existing analog setup consisting of modular crate electronics at the Source-Testing Facility at the Division of Nuclear Physics in Lund, Sweden has been digitally replicated. READ MORE

  4. 13. Simulations of a back scatter time of flight neutron spectrometer for the purpose of concept testing at the NESSA facility.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Benjamin Eriksson; [2018]
    Keywords : fusion; JET; Geant4; NESSA; NESSA facility; back scatter tof; tof; time of flight; spectrometer; neutron; ITER; Monte Carlo; simulation;

    Abstract : A back scatter time of flight neutron spectrometer consisting of two scintillation detectors is simulated in Geant4 to examine whether it is possible to perform a proof of concept test at the NESSA facility at Uppsala University. An efficiency of ε = 2.45 · 10^-6 is shown to be large enough for a neutron generator intensity of 1. READ MORE

  5. 14. Two-Dimensional Radiation Field Map of a Be-based Source

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

    Author : Henrik Söderhielm; [2017]
    Keywords : Nuclear Physics Particle Detectors Neutrons Gamma Rays European Spallation Source Lund University; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The aim of this project was to measure the profile of the radiation exiting an aperture of the Aquarium at the Source Testing Facility at the Division of Nuclear Physics at Lund University. So far, the outgoing beam of radiation at the aperture of the Aquarium has been assumed to be uniform. READ MORE

  6. 15. Design, Construction and Characterization of a Portable Fast-Neutron Detector

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

    Author : Nicholai Mauritzsson; [2017]
    Keywords : fast-neutrons; detector; plastic scintillator; NE110; neutron tracking; scintillation; spallation; european spallation source; sonnig; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : At European Spallation Source ERIC, 2 GeV proton bunches will be accelerated towards a tungsten target where spallation will occur, producing a wide neutron energy spectrum. Despite the shielding and moderators in place to stop and/or reduce their energy, a significant portion of the most energetic neutrons, called prompt neutrons, might still reach the sample position of a neutron-scattering instrument.
