Properties of LEDs for the Calibration of PMTs for the Daya Bay Project
… involves building effective detectors for atmospheric muons, resulting in accurate detection of antineutrinos from the source. To ensure accurate detection, we must effectively calibrate the PMTs with the use of carefully chosen and calibrated LEDs. This thesis details the study of several …

Search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with the AMANDA-II detector
… to the much larger background from down-going atmospheric muons. This looser limit is valid for a larger class of magnetic monopoles, since the monopole's capability to pass through the Earth is not a requirement.

Design studies for the double chooz trigger
… target, the inner veto region aims to tag the atmospheric muon background which hits the detector. Both regions are monitored by photomultipliers tubes. The Double Chooz trigger system has to be highly efficient for antineutrino events as well as for several types of background. The trigger …

Search for cosmic-ray antiparticles with bolloon-borne and space-borne experiments
… simulations were carried out which determine the atmospheric background and attenuation especially for antiparticles. Projected results taking the effects of the atmosphere and the detector properties into account are discussed. The second part covers the AMS-02 experiment which will be installed …
