2. 1. The ontogeny and regulation of human natural killer cells

   Author : Martin A Ivarsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Natural Killer (NK) cells are members of the innate lymphoid cell (ILC) family and take part in the detection and eradication of virus-infected and transformed cells. In this thesis, together with my colleagues I have investigated how NK cells and other ILCs develop and function during human fetal development, how NK cells are functionally regulated (educated) via the activating receptor KIR2DS1, and how NK cells in our body are affected during the early phase of an acute viral infection.

5. 3. Potential for B-physics measurements with a fixed-target proton-collision experiment

   Author : Jenny Ivarsson; Partikel- och kärnfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Elementary particle physics; CP Violation; quantum field theory; Elementarpartikelfysik; HERA-B; Fixed Target; kvantfältteori; B Physics; Monte Carlo Simulations; Fysicumarkivet A:1999:Ivarsson;

   Abstract : HERA-B is a high-energy physics experiment at HERA. It is a fixed-target experiment with a forward spectrometer to benefit from the strong boost of beauty hadrons. The main goal of HERA-B is to detect and measure the degree of CP violation in exclusive B-decays, with emphasis on the {em golden} decay, $golden$. READ MORE
