  1. 1. Characterization of neutron detection efficiency in a liquid organic scintillator

    Kandidat-uppsats,

    Författare :Ebba Wargh; Nadine Tabeshnia; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Neutron detectors in the form of liquid organic scintillators are widely used for nuclear disarmament purposes. The main purpose of this thesis is to characterize the neutron detection efficiency of the organic liquid scintillator EJ-309 using Monte Carlo based simulations in the simulation program Geant4.

  3. 2. Neutron Veto Inefficiency Studies with FLUKA for the LDMX Hadronic Calorimeter

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

    Författare :Jaida Raffelsberger; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : Dark matter accounts for about 85% of all matter in the Universe, yet its particle nature remains unknown. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed fixed-target missing-momentum experiment that intends to probe the predominantly experimentally uncharted MeV-GeV mass range for "light dark matter".

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

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

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

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Validation of simulation with enhanced kaon production to investigate kaon background for LDMX

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

    Författare :Lisa Andersson Loman; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Dark matter; experimental physics; simulations; kaons; particle physics; LDMX; background studies; mörk materia; partikelfysik; kaoner; Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : Dark matter is one of our universe’s largest mysteries and very little is known about what it is. One of the dominating theories, that it originates from an early universe thermal relic, indicates that it has interaction with the Standard Model. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Radiation Shielding Simulations for Small Satellites on Geostationary Transfer Orbit

    Master-uppsats, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Författare :Anton Fetzer; [2022]
    Nyckelord :GTO; Foresail-2; CubeSat; Radiation Shielding; Geant4; Radiation Belts; GTO; Foresail-2; CubeSat; säteilysuojaus; Geant4; säteilyvyöhyke;

    Sammanfattning : The emergence of small and affordable satellites has led to rapid growth in the number of launched satellites over the past two decades. To save costs, small satellites often use mass-produced electronic components not explicitly designed for the radiation environment of space, which reduces reliability and makes them unsuitable for higher orbits.
