Partikelkollisioner gör det möjligt för oss att studera de inre strukturerna och beteendena hos partiklar som utgör universum. År 1969 upptäckte forskare att protoner faktiskt består av mindre partiklar som kallas kvarkar genom kollisioner mellan elektroner och protoner. Så genom att kollidera partiklar så får vi ut hur dessa partiklar påverkar varandra men också som i fallet för protonen, vad de In high energy physics, we want to probe the inner structures and behaviours of the particles that are the building blocks of our universe. This is often done by colliding nuclei together. This bachelor thesis presents an implementation of a Glauber Monte Carlo simulation framework to determine the geometric quantities such as the number of participating nucleons $N_{part}$ and the number of sub-c

This paper empirically discusses the interaction between Chinese Official Development Assistance (ODA) and Sub-Saharan tax revenue 2000-2017. Through the use of the methods OLS and IV, I pose the question whether there is evidence supporting the tax-aid nexus, which suggests a negative impact of increasing foreign aid on tax revenue. Additionally, the research delves into the specific effects of O
The syndicated loan market is a major source of corporate funding, raising $5 trillion in 2021. The secondary market where these loans are traded has seen a rapid growth in the last few decades.

Den globala uppvärmningen gör sig ständigt påmind genom extremväder och naturkatastrofer. Vid klimatkonferensen COP21 år 2015 undertecknade i stort sett alla världens länder Parisavtalet med målet att temperaturökningen ska begränsas. För att uppnå Parisavtalets mål ligger en stor del i att länder behöver minska sina utsläpp av växthusgaser. Sverige har minskat sina utsläpp med 35 procent sedan 19Global warming is constantly reminding us of its presence through extreme weather and natural disasters. At the COP21 climate conference in 2015, almost every country in the world signed the Paris Agreement with the aim of limiting temperature increase. The countries need to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to achieve this. Since 1990, Sweden has reduced its emissions by 35 percent, and in 20
