Particle size distribution of methane hydrates and particle growth using a CFD-PBM model
(Master thesis, 2018-08-30)Gas hydrates are solid crystalline compounds that contain water and gas molecules, and can be considered to be a natural occurring phenomena located in enormous amounts around the world. Particle growth and agglomeration ... -
Particle-yield modification in jet-like azimuthal dihadron correlations in Pb-Pb collisions at \(\sqrt{s_{NN}}\) = 2.76 TeV
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-03)The yield of charged particles associated with high-pT trigger particles (8 < pT < 15 GeV/c) is measured with the ALICE detector in Pb-Pb collisions at \(\sqrt{s_{NN}}\) = 2.76 TeV relative to proton-proton collisions at ... -
Particle–wave discrimination in Poisson spot experiments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011)Matter–wave interferometry has been used extensively over the last few years to demonstrate the quantum-mechanical wave nature of increasingly larger and more massive particles. We have recently suggested the use of the ... -
Patterns of practice for adaptive and real-time radiation therapy (POP-ART RT) part II: Offline and online plan adaption for interfractional changes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Purpose The POP-ART RT study aims to determine to what extent and how intrafractional real-time respiratory motion management (RRMM), and plan adaptation for interfractional anatomical changes (ART) are used in clinical ... -
PEPT: an invaluable tool for 3-D particle tracking and CFD simulation verification in hydrocyclone studies
(Journal article, 2013)Particle tracks in a hydrocyclone generated both experimentally by positron emission particle tracking (PEPT) and numerically with Eulerian-Lagranian CFD have been studied and compared. A hydrocyclone with a cylinder-on-cone ... -
Performance Evaluation of a Small-Animal PET/CT System
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)This master project is the first vendor-independent performance evaluation of the new nanoScan PET/CT system at the University of Bergen. A comprehensive performance evaluation of a novel scanner is very important, ... -
Performance of electron and photon triggers in ATLAS during LHC Run 2
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-22)Electron and photon triggers covering transverse energies from 5 GeV to several TeV are essential for the ATLAS experiment to record signals for a wide variety of physics: from Standard Model processes to searches for ... -
Performance of missing transverse momentum reconstruction with the ATLAS detector using proton–proton collisions at √s=13 TeV
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-11)The performance of the missing transverse momentum (Emiss T ) reconstruction with the ATLAS detector is evaluated using data collected in proton–proton collisions at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in ... -
