Determination of the Spectroscopic Quadrupole moment of the first 2+ excited state in 32S
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
In this work we have determined the spectroscopic or static quadrupole moment
of the rst excited state (QS (2+1) lying at 2230.6 keV in 32S using the reorientation
e ect. The Coulomb-excitation experiment at safe ...
Testing gravity with redshift-space distortions, using MeerKAT and the SKA
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The growth rate of large-scale structure is a key probe of gravity in the accelerating
Universe. Standard models of Dark Energy within General Relativity predict essentially
the same growth rate, whereas Modified Gravity ...
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 ...
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 ...
Mock HI spectral line stacking experiments for large galaxy surveys
(University of Western Cape, 2019)
The study of neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) plays a vital role in improving the knowledge about galaxy evolution since HI serves as the raw fuel for star formation. However, the current knowledge about it is limited to the ...
