Using Divertor Strike Point Splitting to Understand Plasma Response and its Sensitivity Equilibrium Uncertainty

Creator:

Teklu, Abraham M.

Abstract:

Soon the largest fusion project in the world, ITER, will attempt to produce more fusion power than required to sustain the fusion reaction, this is known as ignition. The tokamak (a toroidal fusion device) being built in France will be running at such high temperatures that heat distribution is a...

Implementation of a Test Stand for Scintillator Development

Creator:

Mangan, Tymothy

Abstract:

This project focuses on building a test stand in order to measure novel scintillator materials’ decay times. A proof of concept prototype confirms the manufacturer decay time of EJ-204 and LYSO scintillators with good statistics and confirmation of results after calibrations. With the prototype functional, the test stand is commissioned...

Data driven study of neutron response in Minerva using quasielastic neutrino scattering

Creator:

Peters, Evan

Abstract:

Understanding how particles behave in detectors is a critical part of analyzing data from neutrino experiments. There are methods in place to track charged particles in scintillator material, but neutral particles such as neutrons are more difficult to characterize. The purpose of this project was to assess and calibrate methods...
