Determining the spectroscopic quadrupole moment of the first 2+ state in 36Ar
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
A series of reorientation-effect Coulomb-excitation experiments
were carried out at iThemba LABS from April to May 2016.
Enriched ion beams of Ar, Ar and S were bombarded at safe
energies, well below the ...
A study of the angular momentum content of early-type galaxies
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Probing the primordial Universe using the SKA in combination with other cosmological surveys
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Next-generation surveys of the large-scale structure of the Universe will be of great
importance in allowing us to extract invaluable information about the nature of the
Universe and the physical laws that govern it, at ...
The observed bispectrum for SKA and other galaxy surveys
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Next-generation galaxy surveys will usher in a new era of high precision cosmology.
They will increasingly rely on the galaxy bispectrum to provide improved constraints
on the key parameters of a cosmological model to ...
Characterisation of the first 1/2+ excited state in 9B and isospin symmetry breaking studies in A = 9 nuclei
(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 ...
Determining the observer’s velocity using radio continuum surveys
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
In the standard (‘concordance’) model of Cosmology, there is a fundamental assumption that the Universe is statistically isotropic and homogeneous on large scales, known as the Cosmological Principle. The Cosmological ...
Testing the statistical isotropy of the universe using radio survey data
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The Cosmological Principle forms part of one of the most fundamental hypotheses
of modern Cosmology. So it is very important to assess whether it holds true using
observational data, or whether it consists of a mathematical ...
A large-scale clustering analysis of radio galaxies
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The distribution of the visible structure in the Universe is in part dependent on the
in
uence of the dark matter structure. Measurements of large-scale structure can
therefore be related to the dark matter distribution ...
A study of SiC thin film layers for electrically conductive diffusion barrier application in Si thin film solar cells.
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Semiconductor silicon carbide (SiC) thin films of different thicknesses were deposited by
electron beam physical vapour deposition (EBPVD) for application as diffusion barrier
application to guard against metal contaminants ...
Cosmology with next generation radio telescopes
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The next generation of radio telescopes will revolutionize cosmology by
providing large three-dimensional surveys of the universe. This work presents
forecasts using the technique 21cm intensity mapping (IM) combined ...
