Simulations of a back scatter time of flight neutron spectrometer for the purpose of concept testing at the NESSA facility.

Eriksson, Benjamin January 2018 (has links)
A back scatter time of flight neutron spectrometer consisting of two scintillation detectors is simulated in Geant4 to examine whether it is possible to perform a proof of concept test at the NESSA facility at Uppsala University. An efficiency of ε = 2.45 · 10^-6 is shown to be large enough for a neutron generator intensity of 1.9 · 10^10 neutrons per second to achieve a minimal required signal count rate of 10000 counts per hour. A corresponding full width at half maximum energy resolution of 8.3% is found. The background in one of the detectors is simulated in MCNP and found to be a factor 62 larger than the signal for a given set of pulse height thresholds in the detectors. Measures to increase the signal to background ratio are discussed and an outlook for future work concerning testing the spectrometer at NESSA is presented.

Monte Carlo simulations of a back scatter time-of-flight neutron spectrometer for the purpose of concept testing.

Eriksson, Benjamin January 2018 (has links)
The work focuses on Monte Carlo simulations for finding the optimal back scatter time-of-flight spectrometer design for concept testing at the NESSA facility at Uppsala University. The spectrometer consists of two scintillator detectors, D1 (placed in a neutron beam) and D2 (placed in front of D1), at some distance from each other. A fraction of the neutrons that impinge on D1 back scatter into D2 and information on the neutron energy distribution is acquired using the time-of-flight method. For the given constraints on geometry, resolution and efficiency a best resolution was found to be 6.6% with a corresponding efficiency of 1E-4 which gives a sufficient count rate for a neutron generator producing 1E+11 neutrons/s. In order to achieve a minimum of 10 000 counts/h with the same setup a D2 with an area of at least 7 cm^2 is required.

Narcisismo discursivo e metaficção em Lobo Antunes: uma leitura de Não entres tão depressa nessa noite escura

No. of bitstreams: 1 Diana Navas.pdf: 315906 bytes, checksum: 6c1311fcbbb51fa3835c6d6a6d402236 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-10-23 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The present study proposes to verify how the confluence of the lyric and epic genres happens in the novel Não entres tão depressa nessa noite escura, of António Lobo Antunes, as well as to show what, in fact, configures its poeticity. Initiating with the exposition of the path that has been followed by the contemporary Portuguese romance and, afterwards, reflecting briefly on the works of fiction written by Lobo Antunes so far, as well as on the biographical and structural traits present in his works, the present studies culminates with the analysis of the novel. Having as a central hub the work carried out by Lobo Antunes with and through the language, the research aims to demonstrate how the novel in question is, according to the concepts developed by Linda Hutcheon, a metafiction, that is, a work that alerts us to its own construction process, or even, to a kind of discursive narcissism. Pointing out to the fact that the work with the language is, at the same time, the central theme of the novel and also the basic principle of its construction, this study shows how Lobo Antunes s novel, a novel in process, evidences its scriptural poiesis, escapes from the rigid classifications of the traditional forms of literary narrative, pioneering a new form of narrating, or even, a new conception of narrative genre, once that in it the lyric and epic genres conjugating themselves and thus merging themselves. With the analysis of this novel, the present study also aims to demonstrate how, always through the language, Lobo Antunes s novel points to a portrait of the contemporary man and world: a multiple, fragmented, in splinters portrait, whose pieces make part of a persistent effort of desconstrucion/ reconstruction, always in the search of a possible rescue of a hypothetic lost totality / Esta dissertação tem como proposta inicial verificar como se processa a confluência dos gêneros lírico e épico no romance Não entres tão depressa nessa noite escura, de António Lobo Antunes, bem como evidenciar o que, de fato, configura a sua poeticidade. Iniciando com a exposição da trajetória que vem sendo percorrida pelo romance português contemporâneo e, posteriormente, dedicando-se a refletir sinteticamente sobre as obras de ficção até então escritas pelo autor, assim como sobre os traços autobiográficos e também estruturais presentes em suas obras, o presente estudo culmina com a análise do romance supracitado. Tendo por eixo central o trabalho realizado por Lobo Antunes com e na linguagem, esta pesquisa visa a demonstrar como o romance em questão constitui-se, de acordo com os conceitos desenvolvidos por Linda Hutcheon, em uma metaficção, ou seja, em uma obra que alerta para seu próprio processo de construção, ou ainda, para uma espécie de narcisismo discursivo. Considerando-se o fato de que o trabalho com a linguagem é ao mesmo tempo tema central do romance e também princípio básico de sua construção, procura-se verificar como o romance antuniano, um romance em processo, põe em evidência sua poeisis escritural, escapa das rígidas classificações das formas tradicionais de narrativa literária, abrindo caminho para uma nova forma de narrar, ou ainda mesmo, uma nova concepção de gênero narrativo, já que nele o lírico e o épico se conjugam e até se fundem. A partir da análise da obra escolhida, o presente trabalho visa, também, a demonstrar como, sempre via linguagem, o romance antuniano aponta para um retrato do homem e do mundo contemporâneos: retrato múltiplo, fragmentado, em estilhaços, cujos pedaços fazem parte de um persistente esforço de desconstrução/reconstrução, na busca sempre de um possível resgate de uma hipotética totalidade perdida
