  • 2020:13 Core data Research at Uppsala University

    SSM perspective Background This project is to support a research group at Uppsala University in the research field of nuclear data for applications. Nuclear data research is about measuring microscopic cross-sections and developing theoretical nuclear models to create evaluated nuclear data libraries. These nuclear data libraries are used in different applications such as, nuclear...

  • 2019:26 Analysis of trends in brain tumour incidence in Sweden

    SSM perspective Background In the past few years, a discussion has been ongoing in both the research community and the media as to whether exposure to radiowaves from the use of mobile phones has an impact on the incidence of brain tumours in the general population. Ever since the introduction of mobile phones in the 1980s, their use has increased dramatically and has now spread to almost all...

  • 2018:22e ESS research facility Basis for emergency preparedness and response planning

    Further information Summary Northeast of Lund, Sweden, in the area of Brunnshög, is the site of European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS), a research facility that is under construction. When the facility (hereinafter frequently referred to as “ESS”) is commissioned, a linear accelerator will supply protons to a rotating target of tungsten, whereupon neutrons are generated through...

  • 2019:04 Dosimetry in environments surrounding a laser-plasma accelerator

    SSM perspective Background Modern laser technology makes it possible to generate ultrashort pulses with a very high peak power. At the Lund Laser Centre, a high-power laser facility in Lund, Sweden, laser pulses having a duration of approximately 30 femtoseconds are generated with a maximum peak power of up to 40 terawatts. When these pulses are focused, extreme light intensity is achieved.

  • 2018:01 Monte Carlo patient-specific pre-treatment QA system for volumetric modulated arc therapy

    Background According to the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority's Regulations in Radiotherapy (SSMFS 2008:33) are Swedish clinics required to verify the individual dose to patients, prior the first time a new treatment is given. To fulfil this requirement, current clinics perform in-vivo dosimetry in three dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT), which means that the entrance of...
