The design and simulation of a new experimental set up to measure nuclear level lifetimes
(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 ...
A study of the angular momentum content of early-type galaxies
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Spectroscopy of proton unbound states in 32Cl
(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 ...
Synthesis and characterization of ion implanted Pd/Ti/V/Pd/Ti based multilayer thin films using rutherford backscattering spectrometry (rbs) and elastic recoil detection analysis (erda) for hydrogen storage application
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Hydrogen is regarded as an attractive, pollution-free energy carrier for future energy systems,
supported by its efficient energy conversion. Still, the challenge is its storage and transportation.
Hydrogen can either ...
The interstellar medium scaling relations in cosmological simulations
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
This work presents the scaling relations for the redshift zero galaxies in the SIMBA1
cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. The aim is to test the degree to which the
SIMBA simulations reproduce the physical properties ...
Radon exhalation studies for applications in low background environments.
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Neutrinoless double beta decay (0 ) is a rare process that is yet to be observed. Observation of neutrinoless
double beta decays would imply lepton number violation, and that the neutrino is its own antiparticle ...
Pre-equilibrium cross section calculations with a realistic effective nucleon-nucleon interaction
(University of the Western Cape, 1995)
The principle aim of this work is to improve the way in which pre-equilibrium double differential
cross-sections are currently calculated [1, 2, 3, 4]. The theoretical basis for these
calculations is the Multistep Direct ...
