  1. 1. Antiparticle identification studies for the PAMELA satellite experiment

    Författare :Jens Lund; Mark Pearce; Tuneyoshi Kamae; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Space technology; PAMEL; satellites; astroparticle physics; antiparticles; calorimeters; Rymdteknik; Space engineering; Rymdteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The PAMELA satellite experiment will soon be launched and during its 3 year mission perform measurement of charged particle fluxes in the cosmic radiation. PAMELA is specifically designed to identify antiprotons and positrons in the vast background of other charged particles. LÄS MER

  3. 2. MATTER-ANTIMATTER INTERACTIONS : The hydrogen-antihydrogen system and antiproton-matter interactions

    Författare :Henrik Stegeby; Roland Lindh; Dage Sundholm; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antimatter; antiproton; matter-antimatter interactions; hydrogen-antihydrogen system; Kemi med inriktning mot kvantkemi; Chemistry with specialization in Quantum Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Ever since antiparticles were discovered their nature has been something of a mystery. They were postulated to be identical to regular particles except for having opposite charge, but this would imply that an equal amount of antiparticles and particles should have been created at the beginning of time.

  4. 3. Models in Neutrino Physics : Numerical and Statistical Studies

    Författare :Johannes Bergström; Tommy Ohlsson; Pilar Hernandez; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neutrino mass; lepton mixing; Majorana neutrinos; neutrino oscillations; neutrinoless double beta decay; statistical methods; Bayesian inference; model selection; effective field theory; Weinberg operator; seesaw models; inverse seesaw; right-handed neutrinos; renormalization group; threshold effects.; Neutrinomassor; leptonblandning; Majorananeutriner; neutrinooscillationer; neutrinol¨ost dubbelt betas¨onderfall; statistiska metoder; Bayesisk inferens; modellval; effektiv f¨altteori; Weinbergoperator; seesawmodeller; invers seesaw; högerhänta neutriner; renormeringsgrupp; tröskeleffekter.;

    Sammanfattning : The standard model of particle physics can excellently describe the vast majorityof data of particle physics experiments. However, in its simplest form, it cannot account for the fact that the neutrinos are massive particles and lepton flavorsmixed, as required by the observation of neutrino oscillations. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Predictions of Effective Models in Neutrino Physics

    Författare :Johannes Bergström; Tommy Ohlsson; Rikard Enberg; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neutrino mass; lepton mixing; Majorana neutrinos; effective field theory; Weinberg operator; seesaw models; low-scale seesaw models; inverse seesaw; right-handed neutrinos; renormalization group; threshold effects; neutrinoless double beta decay; Elementary particle physics; Elementarpartikelfysik;

    Sammanfattning : Experiments on neutrino oscillations have confirmed that neutrinos have small, but non-zero masses, and that the interacting neutrino states do not have definite masses, but are mixtures of such states.The seesaw models make up a group of popular models describing the small neutrino masses and the corresponding mixing.

  7. 5. Effects of Dark Matter in Astrophysical Systems

    Författare :Stefan Clementz; Mattias Blennow; Tommy Ohlsson; Riccardo Catena; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dark matter; Self-interactions; solar capture; helioseismology; inelastic dark matter; direct detection; indirect detection; Fysik; Physics;

    Sammanfattning : When studying astrophysical structures with sizes ranging from dwarf galaxies to galaxy clusters, it becomes clear that there are vast amounts of unobservable gravitating mass. A compelling hypothesis is that this missing mass, which we call dark matter, consists of elementary particles that can be described in the same manner as those of the standard model of particle physics.
