    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Combustibility study of resin for warm magnet coils used at CERN

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Nyckelord :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;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Models for estimating radiation dose and LAR from radioactive fallout: extended dose algorithms for the computational tool LARCalc

    Master-uppsats,

    Författare :Jonathan Sundström; [2022-09-09]
    Nyckelord :Medical physics; Nuclear power plant; Radiation dose; Effective dose; Lifetime attributable risk; LAR; Fallout; Inhalation; Strontium-90; Iodine-131; Cloudshine;

    Sammanfattning : Today, emergency preparedness is needed against both nuclear reactor accidents and nuclear weapons fallout. Both scenarios can lead to exposure of ionizing radiation. Upon exposure, radionuclides will incur a radiation dose both internally and externally. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Accumulation of 63Ni, 106Ru and 125Sb in phytoplankton

    Master-uppsats,

    Författare :Yusuf Ali; [2022-08-22]
    Nyckelord :Medical physics; Environmental radiology; Nuclear Power Plants; concentration factor CF ; phytoplankton; phaeodactylum tricornutum; radioactive releases; nickel; ruthenium; antimony; gamma spectroscopy; liquid scintillation counting;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) release small amounts of radionuclides which contribute with a low radiation dose to the environment as well as humans and animals. In this context, marine ecosystems are critical, since most NPPs in Sweden are located by the sea. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Inverse Atmospheric Dispersion Modeling in Complex Geometries

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Författare :Charlie Pelland; [2022]
    Nyckelord :atmospheric dispersion modeling; dispersion modeling; invers dispersion modeling; atmospheric dispersion; invers atmospheric dispersion; CFD; computational fluid dynamics; radioactive release; openfoam; CRBN; dry deposition; dry deposition velocity; scavenging effect; wet deposition; optimization model; Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes; adjoint mode; time-dependent rain simulation; time-dependent rain; time dependent rain simulation; time dependent rain;

    Sammanfattning : In the event of a radioactive release in an urban environment the consequent response mustbe swift and precise. As soon as first responders have correct information, they can make anaccurate risk assessment. However, if the position, release rate and time of the radioactiverelease is unknown it is hard to know how the pollutant will spread. LÄS MER
