Description
Over the last 7 years researchers from the University of Oslo and iThemba LABS have continued to increase collaboration to advance scientific knowledge and student education through cooperation in nuclear physics research. The institutes have effectively utilized the experimental facilities and associated equipment on both sides and have co-ordinated research efforts in experimental nuclear physics as well as student training and education.
During the presentation I will provide an overview of iThemba LABS and focus on our experimental capabilities with special emphasis on the latest developments on the high-energy neutron beam facility, the K600 spectrometer and the ALBA and AFRODITE gamma-ray arrays. Current and future planned measurements using this equipment, in particular in the context of the iThemba LABS – University of Oslo collaboration, will also be discussed.
