    Chief among its activities is the operation of a k=200 separate sector cyclotron which provides proton beams of energies up to 200 MeV. These beams are used for fundamental nuclear physics research in the intermediate energy region, isotope production and medical physics applications. The main emphasis of the latter is the neutron and proton therapy treatment programme. To this end, iThemba...

  50. 98. The Transformation and Re-shaping of Physics in SA
    Simon Connell (President - South African Institute of Physics)
    28/07/2012, 10:50
    This talk reviews the history of Physics in SA. Its a colonial history, but it is followed by a period of great hope and a trajectory of growth. Our history exhibits the exclusion of the majority from full participation due to the apartheid policies practiced until 1994. With the advent of democracy, there followed a very successful process of transformation. This was not enough to ensure the...

    At present there are more than 60 synchrotron radiation light sources in operation in 20 countries around the world, with more in construction and design (see: www.lightsources.org). Although most facilities are in technologically advanced countries, there is significant activity in the developing world. Light source projects in Brazil, Korea, and Taiwan have been in operation for more than...
