  1. 1. Numerical approaches to solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation with different potentials

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för beräkningsvetenskap

    Author : Lina Viklund; Louise Augustsson; Jonas Melander; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This project is an immersive study in numerical methods, focusing on quantum molecular dynamics and methods for solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. First the Schrödinger equation was solved with finite differences and a basic propagator in time, and it was then concluded that this method is far too slow and compuationally heavy for its use to be justified for this type of problem.

  2. 2. Nuclear Compton scattering from 12C

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

    Author : Markus Preston; [2014]
    Keywords : Compton scattering; nucleon polarisabilities; nucleon polarizabilities; tagged photon; photonuclear; sodium iodide; nuclear; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Nuclear Compton scattering — the elastic scattering of photons — from 12C has been studied at the Tagged-Photon Facility at MAX IV in Lund, Sweden. The differential cross section for the reaction was determined at laboratory angles of 60° and 120° in the energy range 65-95 MeV. READ MORE

  3. 3. The Alcyone CZT SPECT camera. Evaluation of performance using phantom measurement and Monte Carlo simulations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Erik Mattsson; [2013]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background Coronary artery disease is one of the most common causes of death. A common cardiac examination is to give a visualization of the myocardial blood flow by injecting a radio pharmaceutical and detect the radiation with a camera. The camera has for decades been using thallium doped sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) as the detector material. READ MORE

  4. 4. Time and energy calibration of large-volume segmented sodium-iodide detectors

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

    Author : Markus Preston; [2012]
    Keywords : NaI Tl ; Sodium Iodide; Nuclear physics; Pb-glass; detector calibration; TDC; QDC; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Nuclear physics research is focused upon determining the structure of the atomic nucleus and nuclei, and understanding the interactions both within it and between them. To accomplish this, various probes of the nucleus are used - two types are 'electromagnetic' and 'hadronic'. READ MORE

  5. 5. Collimation technique for HPGe-detector gamma spectrometry in intense radiation fields

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Mattias Jönsson; [2010]
    Keywords : Radioekologi; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : The aim of this master thesis was to develop a rotation-based collimation system for large coaxial high-purity germanium detectors for use in intense radiation fields. A collimator was constructedformed as a cylinder surrounding the detector, with a 90° slit opening to the detector. READ MORE
