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 the BELEN detector for wide energy range with flat and high detection efficiency

Riego Pérez, Albert (Date of defense: 2016-05-30)

The main objective of this work is to design the BEta-deLayEd Neutron detector (BELEN) detector for FAIR (Facility for Antiproton Ion Research). The purpose of this detector is the measurement of neutron emission probabilities ...

Monte Carlo and experimental small-field dosimetry applied to spatially fractionated synchrotron radiotherapy techniques

Martínez Rovira, Immaculada (Date of defense: 2012-03-12)

Two innovative radiotherapy (RT) approaches are under development at the ID17 Biomedical Beamline of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF): microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) and minibeam radiation therapy ...

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 ...

Neutronics analysis and thermodynamics studies of several DEMO breeding blankets for the development of the AINA safety code

Fabbri, Marco (Date of defense: 2018-04-05)

By 2050 the energy consumption is expected to increase considerably.The production might be mostly based on renewable energy mix driven by the nuclear fusion which could potentially deliver continuous, large-scale power ...

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 ...

Understanding secondary emission processes and beam matter interactions for optimization of diagnostic wire grid system in particle accelerators : thermal modeling for beam power limits calculation

Navarro Fernández, Araceli (Date of defense: 2023-03-21)

(English) Thin targets, in form of foils, stripes or wires, are widely used in beam instrumentation to measure various beam parameters, such as intensity, position and size. All these monitors can differ in geometry and ...
