  • Interaction of the eta-meson with light nuclei 
    De Villiers, Jean Schepers (2009-08-25)
    The long-standing problem of possible formation of metastable states in collisions of the eta-meson with atomic nuclei is revisited. The two-body eta-nucleon interaction is described by a local potential, which is ...
  • A microscopic description of nuclear alpha decay 
    Ogunbade, Olusegun G. (2009-08-25)
    Radioactive decay of nuclei via emission of ??-particles is studied using three different theoretical approaches, viz: the quasi-bound state wavefunction approach (QSWA), the superasymmetric ??ssion model (SAFM) and the ...
  • Dynamics of few-cluster systems. 
    Lekala, Mantile Leslie (2009-08-25)
    The three-body bound state problem is considered using configuration-space Faddeev equations within the framework of the total-angular-momentum representation. Different three-body systems are considered, the main concern ...
  • Artificial neural network methods in few-body systems 
    Rampho, Gaotsiwe Joel (2009-08)
  • A quantum mechanical study of dopants in diamond 
    Lombardi, Enrico Bruno (2009-08-25)
  • Nuclear reactions inside the water molecule 
    Dicks, Jesse (2005-06)
    A scheme, analogous to the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO), is used to calculate rates of reactions for the fusion of nuclei con¯ned in molecules. As an example, the possibility of nuclear fusion in rotationally ...
