  2. 1. Bright Needles in a Haystack : A Search for Magnetic Monopoles Using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory

    Author : Alexander Burgman; Carlos Pérez de los Heros; Olga Botner; Allan Hallgren; David Milstead; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; magnetic monopole; IceCube; astroparticle physics; neutrino telescope; Fysik med inriktning mot elementarpartikelfysik; Physics with specialization in Elementary Particle Physics;

    Abstract : The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the geographic South Pole is designed to detect the light produced by the daughter-particles of in-ice neutrino-nucleon interactions, using one cubic kilometer of ice instrumented with more than 5000 optical sensors.Magnetic monopoles are hypothetical particles with non-zero magnetic charge, predicted to exist in many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics.

  4. 2. Search for a new light boson in meson decays

    Author : Damian Pszczel; Andrzej Kupść; Michel Garcon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dark matter; dark vector boson; dark photon; U boson; meson decays; form factor; Dalitz decay; eta meson; Fysik med inriktning mot elementarpartikelfysik; Physics with specialization in Elementary Particle Physics;

    Abstract : The subject of the presented work lies in the field of experimental particle physics. The main topic is the study of e+ e− pairs from η meson decays. The data sample used in this work was collected by the WASA-at-COSY collaboration in proton-proton collisions at 1.4 GeV kinetic beam energy. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Extremes of Neutrino Astronomy : From Fermi Bubbles with IceCube to Ice Studies with ARIANNA

    Author : Elisabeth Unger; Allan Hallgren; Olga Botner; Antonio Capone; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; astroparticle physics; neutrino telescopes; IceCube; Fermi bubbles; ARIANNA; horizontal propagation; surface wave propagation; Fysik med inriktning mot elementarpartikelfysik; Physics with specialization in Elementary Particle Physics; High Energy Physics; Högenergifysik;

    Abstract : The Fermi bubbles are extended regions of hard gamma-ray emission which were discovered with Fermi-LAT data to exist above and below the Galactic Center. In order to explain the origin of the gamma-rays, different theories are proposed. READ MORE

  6. 4. Atomic Processes in Stellar Atmospheres : Inelastic Collisions and Effects on Late-type Spectra

    Author : Yeisson Fabian Martinez Osorio; Paul Barklem; Karin Lind; Nikolai Piskunov; Carlos Allende Prieto; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Spectral line: formation; atomic data; stellar abundances.; Fysik med inriktning mot astrofysik; Physics with specialization in Astrophysics;

    Abstract : Chemical abundances as measured from stellar spectral lines are often subject to uncertainties due to lack of accurate data for inelastic collisions, which is needed for non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) modelling. For cool stars, understanding of collision processes with electrons and hydrogen atoms is required to achieve high precision measurements. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mass Loss of Evolved Stars : Improving Mass-Loss Rates and Distances

    Author : Miora Andriantsaralaza; Paul Barklem; Elvire De Beck; Susanne Höfner; Jacco van Loon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; AGB stars; Mass loss; Distance; Circumstellar matter; Radio interferometry; Stellar evolution; Fysik med inriktning mot astrofysik; Physics with specialization in Astrophysics;

    Abstract : In the final stages of their lives, low to intermediate-mass stars enter the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) phase, where they experience significant mass loss through dusty stellar winds. This mass loss is pivotal, not only for the chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium, setting the stage for new stars and planets to form, but also in dictating the evolution and the ultimate fate of the stars themselves.
