Stages in the dynamics of hydrate formation and consequences for design of experiments for hydrate formation in sediments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Natural gas hydrates in sediments can never reach thermodynamic equilibrium. Every section of any hydrate-filled reservoir is unique and resides in a stationary balance that depends on many factors. Fluxes of hydrocarbons ... -

Statistical Temporal Variations in the Auroral Electrojet Estimated With Ground Magnetometers in Fennoscandia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We present the implementation of an improved technique to coherently model the high-latitude ionospheric equivalent current. Using a fixed selection of 20 ground magnetometers in Fennoscandia, we present a method based on ... -
Statistical Tools for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The development of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) unveiled the sky in the teraelectronvolt regime, initiating the so-called “TeV revolution”, at the beginning of the new millennium. This revolution was ... -
Storing CO2 as solid hydrate in shallow aquifers: Electrical resistivity measurements in hydrate-bearing sandstone
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A recent proposed carbon dioxide (CO2) storage scheme suggests solid CO2 hydrate formation at the base of the hydrate stability zone to facilitate safe, long-term storage of anthropogenic CO2. These high-density hydrate ... -
Strange particle production in proton–proton collisions at s=09 with ALICE at the LHC The ALICE Collaboration
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-03-30)The production of mesons containing strange quarks (, φ) and both singly and doubly strange baryons (, , and ) are measured at mid-rapidity in pp collisions at s = 0.9 TeV with the ALICE experiment at the LHC. The results ... -
A strategy for a general search for new phenomena using data-derived signal regions and its application within the ATLAS experiment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-06)This paper describes a strategy for a general search used by the ATLAS Collaboration to find potential indications of new physics. Events are classified according to their final state into many event classes. For each event ... -
Studier av algoritmer for tau-identifikasjon
(Master thesis, 2010-05-31)Mange signaturer for ny fysikk i ATLAS vil henfalle til eit eller fleire tau-lepton. Derfor har ATLAS utvikla verktøy for identifikasjon av tau-lepton som henfall eit eller fleire pion. Verktøya er kompliserte og inneheld ... -
