  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Evaluation of whole-body bone scans performed using a gamma camera with Cadmium Zinc Telluride detector

    Master-uppsats,

    Författare :Victor Asp; [2022-01-13]
    Nyckelord :Medical physics; whole-body bone scans; gamma camera; Cadmium Zinc Telluride detector;

    Sammanfattning : The bone scan is a common nuclear medicine imaging procedure that is mainly used for evaluating several oncological patient groups. A radioactive tracer, 99mTc -labelled diphosphonate, is injected intravenously and accumulates in the skeleton. The distribution of the tracer in the body is measured with a gamma camera 3 hours post-injection. LÄS MER

  4. 3. PERFORMANCE OF THE PHOTODETECTOR FOR THE ACTIVE SHIELD OF THE COSI SPACE TELESCOPE

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

    Författare :Daniel Álvarez Franco; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Geant4; scintillation; BGO; CsI; simulation; COSI; telescope; photoelectric effect;

    Sammanfattning : The COmpton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a space telescope that aims to study the soft gamma regime (0.2-5 MeV), capable of performing spectroscopy, imaging and polarimetry of cosmic gamma sources. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Environmental radiation measurements at Barsebäck nuclear power plant during the decommissioning phase

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Författare :Patrik Dahlström; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Background and aim: The Barsebäck nuclear power plant (NPP) units ceased operations in 1999 and 2005. Now the NPP is in the phase of decommissioning, which is a complicated process that will take many years to complete. Radiological characterization of the surrounding area is a part of the decommissioning process. LÄS MER

  7. 5. 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
