    Invited Talk

    The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a network of antenna’s across the globe that is used to image super massive black holes (SMBHs). These antennas observe together in very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) at a frequency of 230 GHz to produce a single image. Since the release of the first image of M87 in 2019 and subsequently the image of Sgr A in 2022 by the EHT collaboration, the focus...

    Invited Talk

    iThemba LABS is a facility that houses various research accelerators, including the latest 3 MV TandetronTM Accelerator, which was installed in 2017 to replace the 51-year-old 6 MV CN Van de Graaff Accelerator. High Voltage Engineering Europa B.V. (HVE) was responsible for installing and commissioning the new accelerator in the Tandetron Laboratory. The accelerator has the ability to...

    Physics Research
    Invited Talk

    In this talk, we will give a brief overview of some of the detector technologies deployed in large-scale experiments in particle physic research labs and through a specific Micro Pattern Gaseous Detector (MPGD) technologies example, we will discuss challenges associated to these technologies in term of production, assembly, characterization and deployment in complex detector system for the...
