Comparative study of Final Focus Systems for CLIC and other luminosity enhancement studies for future linear colliders

García Morales, Héctor (Date of defense: 2015-01-16)

The 4th of July 2012 was a milestone date in the history of physics of the last decades. The discovery of the Higgs boson at the ATLAS and CMS experiments thanks to the proton collisions delivered by the LHC not only has ...

Design of a 4 π neutron detector for ß-delay neutron detection experiments.

Gorlychev, Vitaly (Date of defense: 2014-02-05)

Beta delayed neutron emission probability is one of the main properties of neutron rich nuclei away from the valley of beta stability. The knowledge of this parameter provides the opportunity to extend the information on: ...

Neutron-induced fission cross section of 240,242Pu

Salvador Castiñeira, Paula (Date of defense: 2014-11-07)

A recent sensitivity analysis done for the new generation of fast reactors [1] has shown the importance of improved cross section data for several actinides. Among them, the neutron-induced fission cross section of 240,242Pu ...

Optimization of field matching in external photon beam radiation therapy

Hernández Masgrau, Víctor (Date of defense: 2013-11-07)

Radiation therapy is one of the main modalities used for treating cancer patients, together with surgery and chemotherapy. Radiotherapy treatments can be carried out with a great variety of devices, but most treatments are ...
