New bands in ¹⁹²Tl using gamma spectroscopy techniques
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
High spin excited stats in¹⁹²Tl were studied using gamma-ray spectroscopy. The study included taking an active part in performing the experiment, understanding the experimental procedure, electronics and data acquisition ...
Calibration of a NaI (Tl) detector for low level counting of naturally occurring radionuclides in soil
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
The Physics Department at the University of the Western Cape and the Environmental Physics group at iThemba labs have been conducting radiometric studies on both land and water. In this study a 7.5 cm X 7.5 cm NaI (Tl) ...
A theoretical study of stellar pulsations in young brown dwarfs
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
This thesis reports the results of a twofold study on the recently proposed phenomenon of 'stellar pulsations' in young brown dwarfs by the seminal study of Palla and Baraffe (2005) (PB05, thereafter). The PB05 study ...
Synthesis and characterisation of 114Cd targets
(2011)
To study nuclear reactions and nuclear structures, target materials are bombarded with high-energy particles. The target material can either be in a form of a metal film or gas. A target material designed to study certain ...
