  1. 21. Studies of PoGOLite performance and background rejection capabilities

    Författare :Mózsi Kiss; Mark Pearce; Staffan Carius; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Fysik;

    Sammanfattning : The Polarized Gamma-ray Observer (PoGOLite) is a balloon-borne instrument capable of measuring as low as 10% polarization from a 200 mCrab source in a sixhour °ight. A wide array of sources can be studied, including pulsars, neutron stars, accretion discs and jets from active galactic nuclei. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Molecular observations of obscured galaxy nuclei

    Författare :Niklas Falstad; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Galaxies: nuclei; Galaxies: ISM; Infrared: galaxies; ISM: Molecules; Submillimeter: galaxies;

    Sammanfattning : It is becoming evident that some (ultra)luminous infrared galaxies ((U)LIRGs) contain compact obscured nuclei (CONs) where luminosities in excess of 10^9 L☉  emerge from inside dusty regions smaller than 100 pc in diameter. Due to the obscured nature of these objects, their inner regions are hidden from examination using optical or infrared lines. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Disruption Mitigation in Tokamaks with Massive Material Injection

    Författare :Oskar Vallhagen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; shattered pellet injection; fusion plasma; disruption mitigation; runaway electron;

    Sammanfattning : The sudden loss of confinement of the energy content of fusion plasmas in off-normal events, called disruptions, is among the most severe threats to the future of fusion energy based on the tokamak design. An efficient disruption mitigation system will therefore be of utmost importance for future large, high-current devices such as ITER. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Techniques for the determination of the optimal performance of high resolution computerised tomography

    Författare :Peter Hammersberg; Holger Reiter; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Techniques to deternine the optimal performance of high resolution computerised tomography (CT) has been studied, that is, optimal data collection parameter settings for the imaging task at issue and its detectability limits.Generally, CT is an X-ray based non-destructive testing method that was developed for medical purposes in the seventies and introduced for industrial applications the latter half of the eighties.

  7. 25. Observations of submillimeter galaxies and of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect toward clusters of galaxies

    Författare :Daniel Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes observations of a population of high-redshift, dusty star-forming galaxies: thesubmillimeter (submm) galaxies. The submm galaxies detected so far are very massive and lumi-nous systems, with huge star-formation-rates (SFR>100Myr−1), large reservoirs of moleculargas (Mgas∼1×1010M) and large dynamical masses (Mdyn>1010M).
