Studies of Possible QGP Estimators in proton-proton Collisions

Forskning inom partikelfysik grundar sig i att försöka förstå naturens lagar vilket har givit oss insikt i den fundamentala strukturen av materia. Man trodde länge att atomen var den minsta byggsten av materian runt omkring oss (där atom kommer från grekiskans átomos och betyder odelbar), men forskning visade att detta inte stämde. En förenklad modell är att atomen består av elektroner som kretsarThis thesis presents studies of three different Quark-Gluon Plasma estimators in proton-proton collisions using what is currently believed to be quark-gluon plasma observables; radial flow, elliptic flow and strangeness enhancement. The three tested estimators were Transverse Spherocity, an altered version of Transverse Spherocity where all p_T was put to one, and a newly developed estimator calle

Optimization of Simultaneous Multi Slice EPI for clinical fMRI

I funktionell MR (fMRI) studeras aktivering i hjärnan som respons på stimuli. Detta stimuli kan bestå av flera olika uppgifter som patienten gör under bildtagningen, där uppgifterna är beroende av vilken funktion eller del av hjärnan som ska undersökas. Funktionell MR är en teknik som till exempel kan användas innan en operation av hjärnan för att i största mån undvika att skada funktionellt viktiFunctional MRI is a method used to map brain functionality, where the blood oxygen level (BOLD) imaging method is frequently used. Stimulation of neurons leads to an increase in energy and oxygen consumption and signal can be detected since oxygen changes the magnetic properties of the blood. In order to measure the signal variation, a fast pulse sequence is required. The purpose of this master th
