   Författare :Tanvir Sayed; [2024]
   Nyckelord :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;

   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

3. 2. Characterisation of the LYCCA Double-Sided Silicon Strip Detectors

   Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

   Författare :Marwan Mohamed; [2023]
   Nyckelord :DSSD LYCCA HISPEC FAIR Characterisation; Physics and Astronomy;

   Sammanfattning : 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.

4. 3. Prototyping of an automated cyclic Neutron Activation Analysis setup

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Författare :Cornelius Maurer; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Nuclear Physics; Neutron activation analysis; cyclic-NAA; Physics and Astronomy;

   Sammanfattning : A prototype Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) setup based on a Deuterium-Tritium (DT) neutron generator is under development at Lund University. It serves as proof-of-principle for NAA based on a Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Source. LÄS MER

5. 4. Nuclear Structure near the Proton Drip-line: A Search for Excited States in 62Ge

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Nyckelord :nuclear physics; nuclear structure; proton drip-line; excited states; germanium; fusion-evaporation reaction; experimental nuclear physics; gamma sphere; gamma spectroscopy; HPGe detectors; data analysis; Physics and Astronomy;

   Sammanfattning : An experiment to study mirror symmetry in the mass A = 60 region was performed at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in 2020. The fusion-evaporation reaction 40Ca + 24Mg → 64Ge* at a beam energy of 106 MeV was used to populate excited states in 62Ge. LÄS MER

7. 5. An Inexpensive Alpha Spectrometer Based on a p-i-n Photodiode : Making Advanced Particle Detectors From Common Commercial Components

   Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

   Författare :Elias Arnqvist; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Alpha spectroscopy; alpha particle; particle detector; radiation detector; p-i-n diode; PIN diode; photodiode;

   Sammanfattning : The purpose of this project was to design, construct, and evaluate an alpha spectrometer based on an inexpensive p-i-n photodiode as a radiation detector. The BPX-61 p-i-n photodiode was selected and calculated to have a 93 µm wide sensitive volume at 25 V reverse bias. LÄS MER
