Design of a helium-6 production target for the iThemba LABS Radioactive-ion Beam Facility
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)It is well known, that there is a severe lack of information available pertaining to neutron rich nuclei, specifically of those nuclei with mass numbers ≥ 60. These neutron rich nuclei are not easy to access in current ... -
Lifetime measurements of excited nuclei through modern nuclear spectroscopy
(University of Western Cape, 2021)The progressive development of scintillator detectors has made it possible to perform direct electronic lifetime determination up to a few hundred nanoseconds. The 2" by 2" LaBr3:Ce detectors provide a combination of ... -
Measuring transitional matrix elements using first-order perturbation theory in Coulomb excitation
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)The aim of nuclear structure physics is to study the interplay between singleparticle and collective degrees of freedom in nuclei and to explain how nuclei get excited and decay under di erent external conditions, such ... -
Test of traditional vibrational wisdom by 2 proton stripping onto targets of 108;110Pd,114Cd,115In
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)The cadmium nuclei have traditionally been regarded as among the best examples of spherical vibrational nuclei. However, advances in nuclear spectroscopy have begun to detail the properties of these nuclei at the two and ...
