Three students recently completed their Bachelor thesis as part of the group.
Stefanie Javet analysed data from a local experiment to search for an annual modulation in the decay rate of a variety of beta-decaying isotopes, placing an upper limit on the size of any such modulation, in her thesis (PDF, 5 MB) titled "Data processing and analysis of the modulation experiment”.
Simon Buse contributed to the ongoing effort searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ) in XENON1T, performing the calibration of O(MeV) energy deposits and selecting the volume of XENON1T with the best sensitivity to 0νββ, in his thesis (PDF, 10 MB) titled “Energy Calibration and Fiducial Volume Selection for the XENON1T Experiment in the Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Regime”.
Stefan Hochrein demonstrated the potential advantages of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) for future large dual-phase xenon time projection chambers (TPCs) by performing a 83mKr calibration of the local Xurich detector, a dual-phase TPC recently upgraded with SiPMs, in his thesis (PDF, 11 MB) titled "Calibration of the first dual-phase xenon time projection chamber with silicon photomultiplier readout”.
