  1. 1. Analysis of Atmospheric Muon Bundles with IceCube

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Författare :Anna Selina Neyer; [2024]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : This work is a preliminary study of the background of a search for dark, long-lived particles in the IceCube detector. The high flux of atmospheric muons in IceCube is considered background to the detector's primary science goal, which is to detect astrophysical neutrinos through the emission of Cherenkov radiation.

  3. 2. Fast Simulations of Radio Neutrino Detectors : Using Generative Adversarial Networks and Artificial Neural Networks

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Författare :Anton Holmberg; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Askaryan emission; Radio detection of neutrinos; in-ice propagation; neutrino; Generative adversarial networks; GAN; WGAN; Neural networks; NN; surrogate model; IceCube; deep learning; generative model;

    Sammanfattning : Neutrino astronomy is expanding into the ultra-high energy (>1017eV) frontier with the use of in-ice detection of Askaryan radio emission from neutrino-induced particle showers. There are already pilot arrays for validating the technology and the next few years will see the planning and construction of IceCube-Gen2, an upgrade to the current neutrino telescope IceCube.

  4. 3. Measuring the vertical muon intensity with the ALTO prototype at Linnaeus University

    Kandidat-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

    Författare :Magnus Norén; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Muon Intensity; ALTO; CoMET; Cosmic Rays; VHE Gamma Rays; Extensive Air Shower; Water Cherenkov Detector; Scintillation Detector; Monte Carlo Simulation; GEANT4;

    Sammanfattning : ALTO is a project, currently in the research and development phase, with the goal of constructing a Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray observatory in the southern hemisphere. It will detect the particle content reaching the ground from the interactions of either VHE gamma rays or cosmic rays in the atmosphere known as extensive air showers. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Sterile Neutrinos and Non-Standard Interactions in Neutrino Telescopes

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Fysik

    Författare :Martin Sjöborg; [2021]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The failure of the Standard Model of particle physics to predict neutrino masses invites us to amend it. We have no reason to believe that the interactions currently described by the gauge group are the whole picture, nor should we expect that the number of fermions hitherto observed is correct.

  7. 5. Seeing Stars - Intensity Interferometry in the Laboratory and on the Ground

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Författare :Colin Carlile; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Stellar Physics Instrumentation Interferometry Cherenkov Telescope Array Intensity Interferometry; Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : Context Since the time of Tycho Brahe astronomy has been an observing science defined by the quality of its instrumentation. The introduction of primitive telescopes by Galileo in 1609 began a period of development of ever-larger telescopes with greater measuring precision. LÄS MER
