Comparison of neutron fluence spectra measured with NE213 proton recoil spectrometer and NE230 deuteron recoil spectrometer
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
A (5 cm × 5 cm) cylindrical NE213 liquid organic scintillator and a (2.5 cm × 2.5 cm)cylindrical NE230 liquid organic scintillator were used as spectrometers. A series of measurements was made with both the NE213 and NE230 ...
Growth and characterization of FeSi nanowires by chemical vapor deposition for gas sensing applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
FeSi nanowires were synthesized via a chemical vapor deposition method. Anhydrous FeCl3 powder in this case served as the Fe source and was evaporated at a temperature of 1100oC to interact with silicon substrates which ...
Deposition and structural properties of silicon carbide thin films for solar cell applications.
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
The growth of hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC:H) thin films deposited by Hot- Wire Chemical Vapour Deposition (HWCVD) for solar cell applications has been studied. The films were characterized for structural ...
Probing the large-scale structure of the universe with correlation functions
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
In this project we explore a new statistical package called KSTAT that computes the 2PCF and higher order correlation functions, such as the 3PCF, on BOSS, making use of high performance computing facilities to improve ...
Redshift-space distortions as a probe of dark energy
(University of Western Cape, 2014)
We begin by finding a system of differential equations for the background and linearly perturbed variables in the standard, ɅCDM model, using the Einstein Field Equations, and then solving these numerically. Later, we ...
