European Spallation Source Lattice Design Status

The accelerator of the European Spallation Source (ESS) will deliver 62.5 mA proton beam of 2.0 GeV onto the target, offering an unprecedented beam power of 5 MW. Since the technical design report (TDR) was published in 2013, work has continued to further optimise the accelerator design. We report on the advancements in lattice design optimisations after the TDR to improve performance and flexibil

Epistemic Risk : Issues on the normative basis of risk analysis

The articles included in this thesis centre on what can be called the normative basis of risk analysis. Since risk analyses are decision procedures, they should adhere to norms of rational decision-making, and this they do. Most risk analysis schemes are built on a notion of the decision theoretic maxim that the goal of every decision is to maximize expected utility. However, for some thirty years

Homogenization of woven materials

The effective electric and magnetic material properties of a complex (twocomponent) mixture are addressed. The mixture is periodic in two directions and has a finite thickness in the third direction. Specifically,the explicit problem of finding the effective electric parameters for slab that has been reinforced by a layer (or several layers) of glass fiber is investigated. The homogenization probl

Essays in Financial Economics

Chapter 1 develops a framework to investigate the impact of the financial crisis starting in 2007 and employs an extended GARCH model to test for spillover and contagion effects originating from the financial sector. We find that the financial crisis affects financially distressed firms more heavily than non-distressed firms. Financial constraints do not play an equally crucial role during the cri
