  1. 1. Machine Learning for Pulse Shape Analysis of Heavy Ions

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Steven Hendrik Bijl; [2023]
    Keywords : Heavy Ions; Machine Learning;

    Abstract : Most of the Generation IV nuclear reactors designs are intended to operate with a fast neutron spectrum. This necessitates further investigation into nuclear fuel behaviour because fast neutrons yield a higher neutron multiplicity with fission fragments, significantly impacting the criticality assessment of these reactors.

  3. 2. Developments Towards High-Resolution Muonic Atom X-ray Spectroscopy of Low-Z Elements : For precision measurements of absolute nuclear charge radii

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Benjamin Verbeek; [2023]
    Keywords : muon physics; subatomic physics; charge radius; nucleus; lithium; silicon drift detector; microcalorimeter;

    Abstract : This Master's thesis investigates a method to measure atomic nuclei with record precision using muonic atom X-ray spectroscopy. In particular, 6Li is measured experimentally. The method used is independent from the previous most precise measurement of the 6Li nuclear charge radius which uses electron scattering. READ MORE

  4. 3. Silicon Drift Detector Simulations for Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy in Scanning Electron Microscopy

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Sebbe Blokhuizen; [2023]
    Keywords : X-ray spectroscopy; Silicon drift detector; Scanning Electron Microscopy; Detector Simulation;

    Abstract : Scanning Electron Microscopy combined with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) is a widely applied elemental microanalysis method. The integration of silicon drift detectors (SDDs) has notably enhanced EDS performance, enabling precise elemental identification due to its large sensitive area and low output capacitance.

  5. 4. Characterisation of the LYCCA Double-Sided Silicon Strip Detectors

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

    Author : Marwan Mohamed; [2023]
    Keywords : DSSD LYCCA HISPEC FAIR Characterisation; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The goal of this thesis work is to describe the methods used and perform comprehensive testing of the Double-Sided Silicon-Strip Detectors (DSSD) prior to their implementation in the Lund-York-Cologne CAlorimeter (LYCCA) detector. In the framework of this project, the DSSD characterisation was carried out to ensure specification compliance prior to their "in-kind contribution" delivery to the HISPEC experiment at the NUSTAR collaboration.

  6. 5. Characterization of Bi-incorporated InSb(111)A/B Surfaces : An STM and XPS Study

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

    Author : Shengpeng Huang; [2023]
    Keywords : indium antimonide; surface reconstructions; bismuth deposition; scanning tunneling microscopy; X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In recent years, III-V semiconductor materials have received increasing attention due to their admirable electronic properties like direct tunable bandgaps and high charge carrier mobility. Indium Antimonide (InSb) possesses the largest electron mobility among III-V materials and is promising for infrared detectors, high-speed field effect transistors, and spintronics. READ MORE
