Full textThis thesis presents the development of advanced silicon sensors fabricated at IMB-CNM for neutron detection applications and for microdosimetry measurements of hadron therapy ion beams. The accurate detection of neutrons has great interest for the medical community, for homeland security and for many other different fields such as material science or space exploration. Given their biological effect, neutron detection is essential to control, for example, the neutron flux produced during a radiotherapy or hadrontherapy treatment to minimize the patient's risk of secondary radiation-induced tumours. Moreover, for national security purposes, neutron detection is crucial to elude radiological threats since the nuclear materials, that could be used to assemble nuclear weapons or dirty bombs, are a significant source of fission neutrons. These applications mostly rely on 3He gas proportional counters but due to the shortage of this gas, a replacement technology for neutron detection is required in the near future. The presented sensors in this thesis for neutron detection are the ultra-thin 3D (U3DTHIN) and the microstructured (MS) sensors, which are covered and filled respectively, with a thermal neutron converter material. The U3DTHIN sensors are only 10 or 20 µm thick, allowing for a high gamma rejection, which is necessary to discriminate the signal coming from the neutrons in a mixed neutron-gamma ray environment. The MS sensors consist of an array of microchannels etched inside the silicon bulk and filled with a converter material. They lead to an improvement of the neutron detection efficiency due to the increased contact area between the silicon sensitive volume and the converter material. Hadron therapy is an expanding branch of external radiation therapy for treating cancer using protons or heavy ion beams. The commissioning of such beams, to lead to a more accurate treatment plan, requires a complete characterization of the radiation quality (i.e. particle types and their energy spectra) that results from microdosimetric measurements. To perform these measurements, the presented sensors in this thesis are the U3DTHIN and the 3D cylindrical microdosimeter. The U3DTHIN, already introduced for neutron detection, is also used for such measurements due to its thin thickness, while the 3D cylindrical microdosimeter was manufactured specifically for microdosimetry measurements. This new generation device consists of an array of micro-sensors that have 3D-cylindrical electrodes resulting in a well-defined micrometric radiation sensitive volume. The research presented in this work includes the fabrication processes of the sensors, their electrical characterization, the GEANT4 simulations to optimize the designs and to validate the experimental results and the experimental tests performed at different irradiation facilities.

Full textThe subject of this thesis is to explore the neutron emission mechanisms in the fission process. In particular a long standing open question, the existence of a dynamical anisotropy in the centre of mass of the fission fragments and/or a possible scission neutron emission is explored. The thesis starts with an overview of the theoretical concepts on the fission process and on the neutron emission mechanisms. Also the necessity to conceive an appropriate analysis method is stressed when a very subtle mechanism is studied as various approximations and/or experimental biases not completely handled can hide the physical phenomena. In the presented work a huge effort was required to write a Monte Carlo procedure based on a coherent model for the spontaneous fission of 252Cf and to couple it with the devices exploited in the CORA3 experiment

A transição de fase hádrons-quarks é incluída em um cenário onde neutrinos são confinados e interações entre hádrons, como também, entre quarks são levadas em conta. A atração principal do modelo, além de sua simplicidade, é que ele fornece uma descrição precisa quantitativa de características globais do processo tais como: massa ejetada, energia da onda de choque nascente, massa e raio do caroço remanescente. Apresentamos a evolução temporal do sistema durante o processo de colapso-explosão e concluímos que a formação de um caroço remanescente híbrido é inibida pelo confinamento dos neutrinos durante o bounce do caroço.
Kale, Sayi Kenny. "Study of the cosmic muon-induced background for the theta 13 angle in the Double Chooz neutrino oscillation experiment." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018STRAE008.
Full textThe Double Chooz experiment is- a reactor antineutrino disappearance experiment located on the site of the Chooz nuclear power plant in the Ardennes region in France. The principal aim of the experiment is a high precision measurement of the oscillation amplitude sin2 2θ13 of the antineutrinos emitted from the two reactor cores of the Chooz power plant. The robustness and accuracy of this measurement depends strongly on a precise knowledge of the rates and spectral shapes of the backgrounds that contaminate the antineutrinos selection over the neutrino oscillation expected region. We have studied in the present thesis the muon induced background in the Double Chooz experiment. Indeed, cosmic muons crossing the detectors or interacting in the neighborhood constitute the main source of background events encountered in Double Chooz. Two distinct backgrounds analysis are presented in this thesis: fast neutrons (FN) and double capture of neutrons (DnC). Dedicated identification techniques have been developed for each of these backgrounds and, consequently, the associated spectral shapes and rates have been determined. The values obtained in this work serve as inputs in the final fit whence the θ13 value is extracted.The latest measurement released by the Double Chooz collaboration is sin2 2θ13 = 0.119 ± 0.016$

Full textWe developed a model and a refinement program for charge and spin densities. During the first tests several difficulties have arisen and have been investigated and solved by implementation of constraints. After the establishment of stable joint refinement program, we tested it on the MnCu(pba)...(H2O)3...2H2O, with pba = 1,3-propylenbis(oxamato) complex reusing data from an experiment of polarized neutron diffraction and making a new experience of X-ray diffraction at 10K. This study tested three weighting schemes and constraints. These tests showed that the joint refinement give access to the same results as the separated refinements but also allow us to go further by refining the spin density with more pertinent parameters. Following these initial tests, we were interested in a copper azido complex (Cu2L2(N3)2 with L=1,1,1-trifluoro-7-(dimethylamino)-4-methyl-5-aza-3-hepten-2-onato). The joint refinement give us access for the first time to the experimental spin-resolved valence density and also to refine the parameters of contraction / expansion for spin up or spin down separately. In the last chapter we studied a cobalt complex which shows interesting magnetic properties. However, the magnetic properties of the compound come from a high magnetic anisotropy which complicates a study by joint refinement. That is why we studied only the charge density of this compound. This study still allowed to show experimentally a torsion angle of 39° between the principal axes of the cobalt atoms, which was predicted by a previous theoretical study

Full textThe odd – odd Tl nuclei with A ≥ 190 have moderate oblate nuclear deformation and show rotational bands built on different quasiparticle excitations. Several phenomena, not yet fully understood, were observed in these nuclei, such as large signature splitting in the yrast band (built on a πh9/2⊗νi13/2 configuration), possible non – axiality of the nuclear shape, etc. In this work the high – spin states in 194Tl were studied. The 194Tl nuclei were produced in the 181Ta (18O, 5n) 194Tl reaction at a beam energy of 93 MeV and the γ - rays were detected using the AFRODITE array. The obtained extended level scheme of 194Tl is presented and discussed in this work. CSM (Cranking shell model) and TRS (Total Routhians Surface) models were both applied to interpret the results for band 1. The results were compared with the neighboring isotone 193Hg.

Full textThis thesis was performed in the context of a project aiming to measure the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the neutron at the Paul Scherrer Institute. Two aspects have been studied: The detection and the polarization analysis of ulracold neutrons. Three types of detectors have been tested at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL): The cascade-U (GEM technology), the 3He gas detector and 6Li-doped glass scintillators (GS family). Their detection efficiency and their background sensitivity have been measured. The GS10 scintillator is competitive with the 3He gas detector under the conditions realized with the EDM spectrometer. A GS3/GS20 scintillator stack has enabled to improve the neutron/gamma discrimination. It has been found 20% less efficient than the 3He gas detector under the EDM spectrometer. The cascade-detector has been observed to be 20% less efficient than a 500 µm thick GS10 glass as confirmed by simulations. A new system for simultaneous spin analysis is presented. It consists of two independent detection systems (arms) which are each made of an adiabatic spin flipper, a spin analyzer, and a detector. The arms detect opposite spin components, allowing the simultaneous counting of both neutron spin orientations. A prototype mounted in horizontal configuration has been tested at ILL. The analyzing power of both arms has been measured to be 80%. The transmission of the system without spin analyzers has been found to be 50%

Full textPrompt fission γ-ray spectra are important nuclear data for reactor physics, as an input for gamma heating calculations, since the gamma heating effect can be under-estimated by up to ~28% with present nuclear data. Furthermore the new prompt fission γ-ray information will be useful from a fundamental physics point of view, where results can be compared with many competing theoretical predictions to refine models of fission process. Prompt fission γ-ray spectra have been measured for the fast-neutron-induced fission of ²³⁸U and ²³⁹PuPu, using fast neutrons generated from the LICORNE source. The experimental setup consisted of an ionization chamber and different types of scintillation detectors, including LaBr₃ and PARIS phoswich detectors. An analysis procedure, including unfolding and recovering the γ-ray response in the scintillation detectors, is developed to extract the prompt fission γ-ray spectrum and corresponding spectral characteristics. The experimental results are compared to the fission modeling codes GEF and FREYA. This comparison reveals that the spectral characteristics are related to the energetic conditions, isotopic yields and angular momentum of the fission fragments. The energy dependence of the spectral characteristics shows that the prompt γ-rays emission is quite insensitive to the incident neutron energy. However, a strong dependence on the particular fissioning system is observed

Full textNeutron decay offers a plethora of observables which are useful for applications in nuclear and particle physics and tests of the standard model of the latter. One of them, the neutron lifetime (880.2(10) s in the PDG 2018), is a crucial input for estimation of the helium-4 content of the universe resulting from the primordial nucleosynthesis. In addition, it serves for a sensitive test of the consistency of the standard model through the CKM matrix unitarity. During the past decades, its measurement has revealed notorious difficulties and still unresolved inconsistencies between different methods. Projects for reliable measurements of the neutron lifetime are therefore of high interest.In this work we present the project HOPE, an ultra-cold neutron (UCN) magneto-gravitational trap coupled to a dedicated superthermal UCN source and aiming for a neutron lifetime measurement with accuracy below 1 s. The choice of magnetic trapping removes a major systematic uncertainty due to neutron interactions with material walls. However, magnetic trapping techniques have to ensure that marginally trapped neutrons that still are able to hit those walls are sufficiently well characterized not to induce significant systematic errors. Since the evolution of those neutrons in the trap is difficult to predict, we have developed simulations that analysed neutron trajectories existing in the trap. Analysis of many neutron histories provided information about the modification of the neutron spectrum during the filling of the trap, heating of neutrons due to vibrations, and the spectral composition of the emptying.These simulations accompany first experimental results obtained from the coupling of HOPE and the prototype helium-4 superthermal UCN source SUN2 set up at Institut Laue-Langevin. Our measurements have shown that, using the vertical implementation studied in this thesis, a measurement of a statistical precision of 0.75 s per reactor cycle is within reach, although sources of systematic uncertainty still need to be carefully analysed to provide an unbiased measurement. Still, we measured in two different procedures storage time constants of 889(19) s and 882(17) s in agreement with the current world-average value of the neutron lifetime, the error being due to counting statistics and the systematic uncertainty staying undetermined. Though not yet proven there are experimental indications, supported by simulations, that neutron heating from mechanical vibrations might limit the accuracy attainable with the current setup. A simplified new setup, with the trap implemented in horizontal orientation without cryostat (thus avoiding strong vibrations of the mono-stage GM cold head used in the current setup) is described at the end of this thesis. According to simulations such a configuration increases counting statistics by a factor 3, while strongly improving on a major systematic uncertainty by spectral heating due to vibrations

The GEANT4 physics simulation program is known to have errors in how hadronic interactions are implemented. This has the potential to cause errors in the Monte Carlos used to determine the expected neutron backgrounds in the MiniCLEAN single phase liquid argon WIMP detector. Elastic and inelastic collisions between neutrons and argon nuclei as well as neutron captures were simulated independently in order to characterize the accuracy of the implementation by GEANT4.9.3.pOl and GEANT4.9.5. The effective cross sections, angular distributions, photons, decay schemes, energy conservation, and momentum conservation were determined through analysis of the neutron tracks created by GEANT4. A large proportion of the interactions behave as expected, however energy and momentum are not conserved by varying degrees of severity with some GEANT4.9.3.pOl inelastic collisions resulting in over twice the correct amount of energy.

Full textThe search for a permanent electric dipole moment for simple systems such as the neutron is one of the most promising leads to discover CP violation beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.The discovery of such CP violation sources and the identification of new models beyond the Standard Model could lead to an explanation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe.Therefore, there are several experiments aiming to measure a non-zero EDM for various systems (neutron, electron, atoms...).The Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) nEDM experiment is one of them.The nEDM collaboration has collected data during two years (2015 and 2016) and published the most recent limit for the neutron EDM in April 2020.Precision measurements such as that experiment require an optimal control of the systematic effects.In this thesis, we present how to control the effects of the magnetic field inhomogeneities, which arise from the use of a mercury co-magnetometer in the PSI nEDM experiment.The co-magnetometer allows us to monitor the stability of the magnetic field and is essential to optimize the statistical sensibility.In order to correct the systematic effects of the magnetic field inhomogeneities, we perform an offline characterization of the field : the mapping.We present in this thesis the mapping measurement method, its analysis and the resulting corrections of the main systematic effect of the neutron EDM measurement.Once those corrections are taken into account, the last step of the analysis of nEDM data can be achieved, in order to extract the neutron EDM value which was published by the collaboration.The application of that step and its results are also presented in this thesis

Full textThe present work deals with both ⁸B solar neutrino analysis in Borexino, and Monte Carlo (MC) simulation of cosmic muon interaction products in Borexino and Double Chooz. In Borexino, the ⁸B solar neutrino analysis was performed at the lowest energy thresholds ever reached : 3 and 2MeV. Setting the energy threshold at 3MeV required the study and development of removal techniques for cosmogenic isotopes. Decreasing the energy threshold down to 2MeV required a deep study of the external backgrounds affecting the Borexino core, and the development of precise MC tools to reproduce their radial and energy distributions. The measured rates, (0. 22 ± 0. 04stat ± 0. 01 syst) cpd/100t above 3MeV and (0. 31 = 0. 04stat = 0. 01 syst) cpd/100t above 2MeV, are compatible with the expectation based on the Standard Solar Model plus MSW-LMA oscillation solution. Borexino and Double Chooz experiments use liquid scintillator detectors, affected by cosmogenic contaminations from underground surviving muons; Many MC codes have been developed to describe muon interactions and subsequent hadronic cascades and neutron or isotope productions. Simulations through Geant4 and FLUKA were performed. The comparison with the Borexino data showed two important results concerning muon beam with mean energy around 270 GeV. First, the neutron interactions are well reproduced by Geant4 and FLUKA. On the contrary, the hadronic shower development is underestimated, as proven by the disagreement with the cosmogenic isotope and neutron rates. Double Chooz data on cosmogenics rates will soon be available. They will allow MC/data comparison for a muon beam energy range of about 64GeV

Full textThe Double Chooz experiment uses antineutrinos emitted from the Chooz nuclear power plant (France) to measure the oscillation mixing parameter θ13. By using two detectors at different baselines, a precise measurement of antineutrinos disappearance is anticipated. The Far detector has been taking physics data since April 2011, while the Near detector is under construction. Data from April 13th 2011 to March 30th 2012 taken with the Far detector only have been analyzed and an indication for antineutrino disappearance, consistent with the current neutrino oscillation hypothesis, has been found. The best fit value for the neutrino mixing parameter sin2(2013) is 0. 109 ± 0. 030(stat. ) ± 0. 025(syst. ). This thesis present an accurate description of the Double Chooz experiment, with particular emphasis on the Far detector and its acquisition system. The main focus of the thesis is the accurate study of the correlated background affecting the Double Chooz antineutrinos sample and its impact on the measurement of the mixing parameter 013. A general overview of the current experimental scenario which aim te the characterization of the neutrino oscillation is also provided, focusing on the recent results obtained in this field
