Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The former storage ring CRYRING has been shipped from the Manne Siegbahn Laboratory in Stockholm to Darmstadt as a Swedish in-kind contribution to FAIR. At its new location downstream of ESR all ion species presently accessible in ESR can be transferred to CRYRING, in which ions with rigidities between 1.44 and 0.054 Tm can be stored. The original Swedish layout has been modified by reconfiguring the sequence of straight sections and by slightly increasing the circumference to ESR/2. Ions can be injected from ESR or from an independent 300 keV/u RFQ test injector. The instrumentation of the ring includes an RF drift tube system for acceleration and deceleration (1 T s(-1), with a possibility for an upgrade to 7 T s(-1)), electron cooling, a free experimental section, and both fast and slow extraction of ions. We report on the present progress of this project, give a prospective timeline, and summarize the new research which will be enabled by this project. First beam for commissioning of the storage ring is expected for 2015, final bakeout to restore ultrahigh vacuum conditions in 2016 and ion beams injected through ESR in similar to 2017.

Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis deals with the detection and analysis of low-level natural and induced radioactivity. Using high energy-resolution Ge detectors in low-level counting areas airborne radioactivity’s like Be-7 and Cs-137 have been investigated. The experimental facilities and techniques are described in some detail. One of the aims in this work is the studying of change detection in the amount of the activity received on the earth from events that happen at the solar system. Information about this is achieved by measuring the activity of the Be-7 isotope, which is a very good indicator of the solar protons that reach the atmosphere of the Earth. Therefore Be-7 probes the variation of the boundary conditions on the Earth related to solar events as well as transportation between the atmospheric layers, troposphere and stratosphere, which are the layers nearest to the ground. Results obtained by this work refer to the seasonal variation and the eleven years sun cycle in addition to the two to three years cycle expected by some scientists. These results are shown in many figures of the activity measurements and the Fourier transformation of the intensity of the Be-7. The effect of the man-made radiation in the air was studied by collection of Cs-137, which was contaminating most of countries in the world after the Chernobyl accident. Our search for low levels of Cs-137 shows how important it is to use a Low Level Laboratory, like the one at AlbaNova, for measurements of novelty and change. Studying the airborne activity in Sweden and Finland at the same time and time interval gives us a possibility to look for correlations of the fall down of the Be-7 activity from the upper layers of the atmosphere simultaneously in both countries. This thesis also involves the results of Neutron Activation Analysis Technique applied to the general human food, milk, vegetables and grains. The experiments were performed at the neutron beam of the Iraqi reactor IRT 5000 at Baghdad. The goal of the experiments was to determine iodine and other trace elements after the Chernobyl accident compared to results from different countries. An exploratory, preliminary study of airborne activities, following e.g. an accident at a nuclear power plant, or leakage of radiation from any source of contamination at any region, using a small, expendable unmanned aerial vehicle is also discussed briefly.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- The exploration of the unique properties of stored and cooled beams of highly-charged ions as provided by heavy-ion storage rings has opened novel and fascinating research opportunities in the realm of atomic and nuclear physics research. Since the late 1980s, pioneering work has been performed at the CRYRING at Stockholm (Abrahamsson et al. 1993) and at the Test Storage Ring (TSR) at Heidelberg (Baumann et al. 1988). For the heaviest ions in the highest charge-states, a real quantum jump was achieved in the early 1990s by the commissioning of the Experimental Storage Ring (ESR) at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) in Darmstadt (Franzke 1987) where challenging experiments on the electron dynamics in the strong field regime as well as nuclear physics studies on exotic nuclei and at the borderline to atomic physics were performed. Meanwhile also at Lanzhou a heavy-ion storage ring has been taken in operation, exploiting the unique research opportunities in particular for medium-heavy ions and exotic nuclei (Xia et al. 2002).
