Analysis and simulations to obtain the weak magnetism term in ²²Na beta decay
Phuthu, Lutendo (University of the Western Cape, 2016)The study of ²²Na beta decay offers an opportunity to test the Standard Model of Particle Physics via measurements of the β−γ angular correlation. A previous measurement of this correlation yielded a non-zero value, ... -
Characterisation of the first 1/2+ excited state in 9B and isospin symmetry breaking studies in A = 9 nuclei
Mukwevho, Ndinannyi Justice (University of the Western Cape, 2019)The 9Be - 9B isospin doublet carries fundamental significance for both nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics studies. The first excited 1/2+ state in 9Be is already well established. However, its isobaric analogue ... -
The design and simulation of a new experimental set up to measure nuclear level lifetimes
Singh, Bhivek (University of the Western Cape, 2016)Measurements of nuclear level lifetimes are an important aspect of experimental nuclear physics. Such measurements determine transition matrix elements for nuclear structure research and also provide the widths of relevant ... -
E2/M1 mixing in the Jπ= 5/2+ to 3/2+ transition in 21Na and its relation to the 20Ne(p,y ) stellar reaction rate
Gopal, Sumeera (University of the Western Cape, 2022)In the above, M is the total mass of the molecular cloud, R is its radius, k is Boltzmann's constant, G is the gravitational constant, T is the cloud temperature, m is the mean molecular weight, and is the cloud molecular ... -
Nuclear structure studies in the A=136 region using transfer reactions
Rebeiro, Bernadette M. (University of the Western Cape, 2018)This thesis describes research work undertaken to study neutron pairing correlations in 136Ba via the 138Ba(p, t) pair transfer reaction and to perform high-precision spectroscopy of low-lying states in 136Cs using the ... -
Spectroscopy of proton unbound states in 32Cl
Kamil, Mohamed (University of the Western Cape, 2019)This project aimed to investigate proton unbound states in 32Cl using the 32S(3He; t) charge-exchange reaction. This research is relevant both in the context of nuclear structure and astrophysics. Excited states in 32Cl ... -
Study of low-lying proton unbound states in 24Al using the 24Mg(3He; t)24Al reaction.
Vyfers, E. C. (University of the Western Cape, 2022)This MSc project entails a study of astrophysically relevant states in 24Al, that are important for a better understanding of the 23Mg(p, )24Al nuclear reaction rate in classical novae. This is a crucial breakout reaction ... -
A study of neutron pairing correlations using the 136Ba(p, t) reaction
Jespere Calderone, Nzobadila Ondze (University of Western Cape, 2020)Observation of neutrinoless double beta decay (0 ) is currently the only means by which one could establish the Majorana nature of neutrinos. Additionally, such an observation would determine the absolute neutrino ...
