Exploring Science-Based Targets: Initial Insights from Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

Lärdomar från småföretag som minskar sina utsläpp med Science Based Targets Vi vet alla hur viktigt det är att stoppa klimatförändringarna som sker, men ansvaret kanske inte alltid ligger på dig eller mig. Ofta fokuseras det på vad vi kan göra som individer, men alla problem hade inte löst sig även om vi slutade flyga eller åt mer vegetariskt. Omställningen måste även göras av företagen som stårWith climate change resulting from a history of uncontrolled greenhouse gas emissions, all parts of society now need to take action - maybe most importantly the private sector. Since 2015 the Science Based Targets (SBT) initiative has committed over 5000 companies worldwide to heavily reduce their total emissions at a pace that scientists deem necessary for average global temperature rise to stay

Glauber Monte Carlo for proton-proton and virtual-photon-proton collisions

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
