Development and study of a Thoron (Rn-220) standard source
Elhag, Elmughera Hussein Salim (University of Western Cape, 2019)Thoron Rn-220 is a radioactive gas with a half-life of 55.6 s. It has been identified as a possible health concern in specific places such as monazite processing plants and (rare-earth) mines. The short half-life of Rn-220 ... -
Gamma spectroscopy and lifetime measurements in the doubly-odd 194tl nucleus, revealing possible chiral symmetry breaking
Masiteng, Paulus Lukisi (University of the Western Cape, 2013)In the first experiment high spin states in 194Tl, excited through the 181Ta (18O, 5n) heavyion fusion evaporation reaction were studied using the AFRODITE array at iThemba LABS. The γ-γ coincidences, RAD ratios and linear ... -
Studying chirality in a ~ 100, 130 and 190 mass regions
Shirinda, Obed (University of the Western Cape, 2011)Chirality is a nuclear symmetry which is suggested to occur in nuclei when the total angular momentum of the system has an aplanar orientation [Fra97, Fra01]. It can occur for nuclei with triaxial shape, which have valence ...
