1. A Fast Pixelated Thermal-Neutron Detector
Abstract : This thesis presents the study of a position-sensitive scintillation-based detector called the Solid-State Neutron Detector (SoNDe). SoNDe is being developed for cold- and thermal-neutron detection at the small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) instrument SKADI at the European Spallation Source (ESS), currently under construction in Lund, Sweden.

2. Monte Carlo and Charge Transport Simulation of Pixel Detector Systems
Abstract : This thesis is about simulation of semiconductor X-ray and particledetectors. The simulation of a novel coating for solid state neutrondetectors is discussed as well as the implementation of a simulationframework for hybrid pixel detectors. READ MORE

3. Generalised Campbell formulae for compound Poisson processes with applications in nuclear safeguards
Abstract : Multiplicity counting is a widely used non-destructive assay method for estimating unknown parameters (primarily the mass) of samples of spontaneously fissioning materials (e.g. plutonium). Traditionally, measurements are performed with thermal neutron detectors operating in pulse counting mode. READ MORE

4. Fragment Mass Distributions in Neutron-Induced Fission of 232Th and 238U from 10 to 60 MeV
Abstract : Since its discovery, the phenomenon of nuclear fission is the object of extensive theoretical and experimental studies. However, we are still far from a complete understanding of the fission process. READ MORE

5. Microstructure of Zirconium Alloys Oxidized in Steam
Abstract : Zirconium alloys are widely used in nuclear reactors as fuel cladding tubes because of their low thermal neutron capture cross-section, good corrosion properties and satisfactory mechanical properties. However, the main limiting factor of these materials is the oxidation behavior. READ MORE
