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...

7/28/12, 10:50 AM
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...
