Measurement of Exclusive Photo-Production of K+ Σ*- Quasi-Free off Neutrons In Deuterium
… the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) detector system and the tagger system during the EG3 run period from December 2004 to February 2005. Tagged photons with energies from 1.5 to 5.5 GeV are measured in coincidence with K <sup>+</sup> p π<sup>-</sup>π<sup>-</sup> in the spectrometer …

Automated isotope identification algorithms for low-resolution gamma spectrometers
… for nuclear security applications, but these detectors generally have poor isotope identification performance. Most of these deployed detectors use low-resolution NaI scintillators due to their low cost and good efficiency. Alternative detection hardware could be used to improve performance, …

Constraining Beam Backgrounds and Analyzing the Detector Response in a Test Beam With the Nova Experiment
… experiment with two functionallyidentical detectors with the Near Detector at Fermilab, Illinois, and the Far Detector at Ash River, Minnesota. NOvA measures the rate of muon neutrino disappearance and electron neutrino appearance using muon neutrinos generated by the NuMI beam from the …

Detection of Antineutrinos at the North Anna Nuclear Generating Station
… hypothesis unambiguously. The second prototype detector, MiniCHANDLER, was deployed 25 meters from a $2.9~GW_{th}$ commercial nuclear reactor in North Anna, Virginia. To fight against the overwhelming background arising from its surface-level deployment, CHANDLER detectors adopt a novel design …

The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment
… eight identical Gd-loaded liquid scintillator detectors deployed in two near (flux-weighted baseline 512 $m$ and 561 $m$) and one far (1579 $m$) underground experimental halls to detect the inverse beta decay interaction. This dissertation describes the Daya Bay Experiment and individual …

Quantifying Uncertainty In A Measurement-Based Assessment of Relative Biological Effectiveness In Carbon Ion Radiotherapy
… uncertainty, gas pressure, W-value, energy calibration, low energy cut-off, counting statistics, wall effects and pulse pile-up. These sources were quantified by statistically introducing uncertainty into the simulated measurements 200 times and sampling the resultant RBE associated with …

Study of the $^{19}$F(p,$\alpha$)$^{16}$O reaction through the Trojan Horse Method and its astrophysical enviroment
… chamber and a silicon position sensitive detector (PSD) on one side with respect to the beam direction and one additional PSD on the opposite side for coincident detection of the $\alpha$ particles. In the beginning of the experimental work, I described the reason leading to the choice of …

Quantitative detection in gas chromatography
… to detection systems. The properties of an ideal detector for quantitative analysis are listed. A description is given of the mode of operation of detectors for gas chromatography, and the extent to which they are suitable for quantitative work is assessed. It was concluded that no one detector …

Novel Neutron Detector for n-n Scattering Length Measurement
… with large uncertainties caused by neutron detector cross talk. Many experimentalists also rely upon computer code to calibrate their neutron detectors. Experiments give one of two different numbers but there is still no adequate explanation for this discrepancy. We have developed a new …
