High-precision evaluation of the magnetic moment of the helion

NMR spectra of samples containing a mixture of hydrogen deuteride HD with pressure of about 80 atm and helium-3 with partial pressure of about 1 atm are analyzed. The ratio of the resonance frequencies of the nuclei, F(³He)/F(H₂), is determined to be 0.761786594(2), which is equal to the magnetic moment of the helion (bound in a helium atom) in the units of the magnetic moment of a proton (bound in molecular hydrogen). The uncertainty of two digits in the last place corresponds to a relative error of ??[F(³He)/F(H₂)] = 2.6 × 10^?9. The use of the known calculated data on the shielding of nuclei in the helium-3 atom (??(³He) = 59924(2) × 10^?9) and on the shielding of protons in hydrogen (??(H₂) = 26288(2) × 10^?9) yields a value of ??(³He)/?? _p = ?0.761812217(3) for the free magnetic moment of the helion in the units of the proton magnetic moment.     

Frequency metrology of helium around 1083 nm and determination of the nuclear charge radius

We measure the absolute frequency of seven out of the nine allowed transitions between the 2 (3)S and 2 (3)P hyperfine manifolds in a metastable (3)He beam by using an optical frequency comb synthesizer-assisted spectrometer. The relative uncertainty of our measurements ranges from 1×10(-11) to 5×10(-12), which is, to our knowledge, the most precise result for any optical ^{3}He transition to date. The resulting 2 (3)P-2 (3)S centroid frequency is 276,702,827,204.8(2.4) kHz. Comparing this value with the known result for the (4)He centroid and performing ab initio QED calculations of the (4)He-(3)He isotope shift, we extract the difference of the squared nuclear charge radii δr(2) of (3)He and (4)He. Our result for δr(2)=1.074(3) fm(2) disagrees by about 4σ with the recent determination [R. van Rooij et al., Science 333, 196 (2011)].     

Dynamics of a heavy ionic pair in a cavity with an elastic or inelastic boundary, crosspieces, and fixed charges of opposite sign

Using the method of classical trajectories, we have simulated the motion of a pair of ions Cs⁺ and Cl^? in ellipsoidal cavities containing neutral cylindrical “crosspieces” and charged spherical “nuclei” (both the signs and the absolute values of the charges of the nuclei were varied). Both elastic and inelastic encounters of the ions with the cavity boundary, crosspieces, and nuclei are considered. Most attention is paid to the statistics of the “captures” of trajectories by the nuclei (for elastic encounters of the ions with the obstacles) and to that of the “stickings” of the ions to the nuclei (for inelastic encounters), as well as to the statistics of the ion recombination events and the dissociation events of the corresponding molecule with an ionic bond. The dynamical consequences of nuclei shielding (i.e., a decrease in the absolute values of the nuclei charges) have been determined.     

有孔矩形腔屏蔽效能的传输线法分析

 首先介绍了用传输线法（transmission line method,TLM）分析有孔矩形腔屏蔽效能的基本原理，然后将基本公式作进一步扩展，使其能计算圆孔、多孔洞以及在任意极化方向时的情形。仿真结果表明：当频率低于主谐振频率时，离孔缝越近，耦合进的电磁能量越大；当处于谐振频率时，屏蔽腔与孔形成共振，屏蔽效能很低甚至为负，而且腔体内任何空间都如此；屏蔽效能随极化角度的递增而递减，低频段的屏蔽比高频段要好；对于相同面积的孔洞，单孔洞的屏蔽效能比多孔洞的屏蔽效能要差，孔洞越多，屏蔽效果越好，而圆形孔（等同于方形孔）的屏蔽效果最好。     

Coupled cluster study of NMR shielding constants and spin-rotation constants in SiH4, PH3 and H2S molecules

Ab initio methods are applied to analyse the NMR shielding constants and spin-rotation constants in SiH₄, PH₃ and H₂S molecules. The electron correlation effects are studied applying the MP2 and coupled cluster perturbation approaches. The basis set convergence is examined at the same time, and the final results for the equilibrium geometries are obtained at the CCSD(T)/cc-pCVQZ level. Zero-point vibrational and temperature contributions are computed at the SCF, MP2 and CCSD level of approximation. In addition, for the shielding constants we also estimate the relativistic effects, to determine total values of the shielding of the third-row nuclei in the studied molecules. Our final results for the shielding constants at 300?K are σ (²⁹Si in SiH₄)?=?482.35?ppm, σ (³¹P in PH₃)?=?611.64?ppm and σ (³³S in H₂S)?=?736.13?ppm. These values, together with estimated corrections and error bars, can be used to determine absolute NMR shielding scales for the heavy nuclei.

 采用时域有限差分法和傅里叶变换对电磁脉冲作用于建筑墙体后发生的反射和透射进行了比较全面的研究分析。采用周期边界实现了不同建筑墙体对电磁脉冲响应的数值计算，对计算的结果进行了讨论分析，研究结果表明：钢筋阵对低频段的屏蔽效果很好，当频率增加时，屏蔽效果变差。混凝土墙的频域波形具有明显的周期性，存在许多谐振频率，谐振时透过很大，谐振频率由墙的厚度、磁导率和介电常数决定，要提高墙的屏蔽效果必须增加墙的电导率，以达到一个比较好的屏蔽效果。钢筋混凝土墙的屏蔽效果和反射特性由钢筋和混凝土墙共同调制决定。     

Alkali lasers for magnetic resonance imaging

Spin-polarized nuclei of such gases as ³He and ¹²⁹Xe are successfully used for magnetic resonance imaging of lungs and other organs of human body. To produce large numbers of spin-polarized nuclei required for this medical application, a high power narrowband tunable laser source is required. Diode pumped alkali lasers, developed during last several years can be an ideal source for this application. In this paper we present our latest achievements in diode pumped alkali lasers development. We describe optically pumped Cs laser tunable in the range of 14 GHz and operating in single transverse mode with a linewidth less than 3 MHz. We also present continuous wave diode pumped Rb and Cs lasers with output power 17 W and 20 W.     

Optimised adiabatic fast passage spin flipping for He neutron spin filters

We describe here a method of performing adiabatic fast passage (AFP) spin flipping of polarized ³He used as a neutron spin filter (NSF) to polarize neutron beams. By reversing the spin states of the ³He nuclei the polarization of a neutron beam can be efficiently reversed allowing for the transmission of a neutron beam polarized in either spin state. Using an amplitude modulated frequency sweep lasting 500 ms we can spin flip a polarized ³He neutron spin filter with only 1.8×10⁻⁵ loss in ³He polarization. The small magnetic fields (10-15 G) used to house neutron spin filters mean the ³He resonant frequencies are low enough to be generated using a computer with a digital I/O card. The versatility of this systems allows AFP to be performed on any beamline or in any laboratory using ³He neutron spin filters and polarization losses can be minimised by adjusting sweep parameters.     

TDHF study of the He+ collision on atomic He targets at the8Be ground state energy

Experimentally the⁸Be ground state resonance has been studied in He⁺ collisions on atomic He atoms. The nuclear resonance manifests itself by satellite resonance lines corresponding to different electron configurations of the Be ion. Experimentally a large probability for the emission of one electron has been deduced. We study the atomic He⁺+He collision within a model in which the evolution of the electron wavefunction is treated dynamically in the TDHF scheme, and the motion of the nuclei is treated classically. In agreement with experiment we find a large probability for one electron to be emitted into the continuum during the lifetime of the⁸Be ground state resonance.     

Evidence for a new low-lying resonance state in 7He

Low-lying resonance states in 7He(6He+n), formed after fragmentation reactions of a 227 MeV/nucleon 8He beam on a carbon target, have been studied. Coincidences between 6He nuclei and neutrons, corresponding to the one-neutron knockout channel in 8He, were selected. The relative energy spectrum in the 6He+n system shows a structure, which is interpreted as the 7He ( Ipi = 3/2(-)) ground state, unbound with 0.43(2) MeV relative to the 6He+n system and a width of Gamma = 0.15(8) MeV overlapping with an excited ( Ipi = 1/2(-)) state observed at 1.0(1) MeV with a width of Gamma = 0.75(8) MeV.     

Development of a compact on-beam SEOP neutron spin filter

We have designed and demonstrated a prototype on-beam spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) ³He neutron spin filter (NSF). It is designed as the incident neutron polarizer for spallation neutron sources, where the installation space is limited due to thick radiation shielding. The size of the NSF is roughly 50 cm×50 cm×25 cm including the diode-laser optics with a frequency narrowing external cavity, and a cylindrical ³He cell as large as a diameter of 5 cm and a length of 10 cm can fit. A neutron beam test was performed at the NOP beamline of JRR-3 to see the performance of the NSF.     

On the use of realistic wave functions in the coherent pion photoproduction on 3He nuclei

We analyze the influence of the nuclear wave functions generated from a set of different realistic soft-core two-body potentials on the coherent charged pion photoproduction on ³He nuclei at threshold and for small momentum transfers. This process is calculated in the framework of the impulse approximation including the Fermi motion. At threshold and below the resonance, our results reproduce fairly well the experimental data. At the first γN resonance region, the agreement with experiments varies with the momentum transfer.     

Measurement of the absolute energy level and hyperfine structure of the 87Rb 4D5/2 state

We have measured the absolute frequency of the excited state transition 5P(3/2)-4D(5/2) in a (87)Rb atom with a femtosecond frequency comb, utilizing the recently developed spectroscopic technique of the double resonance optical pumping method. The absolute energy level of the 4D(5/2) state is determined by measuring the absolute frequency of the 5S(1/2)-5P(3/2) transition simultaneously. The hyperfine structure constants of the 4D(5/2) state are obtained by using the measured frequency. The magnetic dipole constant, A, is determined to be (-16.747+/-0.010) MHz with an uncertainty reduced 60-fold compared with a previous result. The electric quadrupole constant, B, is determined, for what is to our knowledge the first time, to be (4.149+/-0.059) MHz.     

Measurement of coherent π0 photoproduction on3He and3H in the resonance region

Neutral pion photoproduction has been measured on³He and³H nuclei in theΔ(1232) resonance region. Resonance averaged cross-sections are presented as a function of momentum transfer and compared to theoretical calculations.     

Cold collision frequency shift in two-dimensional atomic hydrogen

We report a measurement of the cold collision frequency shift in atomic hydrogen gas adsorbed on the surface of superfluid (4)He at T approximately < 90 mK. Using two-photon electron and nuclear magnetic resonance in 4.6 T field we separate the resonance line shifts due to the dipolar and exchange interactions, both proportional to surface density sigma. We find the clock shift Delta nu(c) = -1.0(1) x 10(-7) Hz cm(-2) x sigma, which is about 100 times smaller than the value predicted by the mean field theory and known scattering lengths in the three-dimensional case.     

Nucleon transfer reactions with exotic beams at ATLAS

We present some recent results from studies of light nuclei using exotic beams from ATLAS at Argonne National Laboratory. Light nuclei far from stability provide ideal testing grounds for modern theoretical methods, and may provide information about astrophysical environments. We focus on the nuclei ⁹Li and ⁷He, populated with the (d,p) and (d,³He) reactions.     

Tensor Optimized Few-body Model for Light Nuclei

The tensor interaction plays an important role to determine the nuclear structure. In this study, we propose a tensor-optimized few-body model (TOFM) in the few body framework with bare nucleon-nucleon interaction. In TOFM, the configurations caused by the one-operation of the tensor operator to the S-wave ground state are introduced in the total wave function. It is shown that TOFM reproduces more than 90 % of the total binding energy and the tensor correlation of the few-body results for s-shell nuclei. We further apply TOFM to the p-shell, as ⁵He. We work out the variational calculation for ⁵He and discuss the structure difference between two resonance states 3/2^? and 1/2^?. In particular, we shed light on the roles of the tensor interaction in two states, such as the LS splitting energy.     

Inelastic scattering of 108.5 MeV 3He particles at very small momentum transfer to the giant monopole resonance of 90Zr and 208Pb

Inelastic scattering spectra from the (³He, ³He′) reaction at 108.5 MeV have been measured down to 1.85° scattering angle on ⁹⁰Zr and ²⁰⁸Pb, allowing a giant monopole resonance study in these nuclei. DWBA analysis is reported.     

Photodisintegration of Light Nuclei

The first microscopic calculation of inelastic reactions on nuclei with mass number A = 6 is presented. In particular, we consider the total photoabsorption cross section of ⁶He and ⁶Li. It is shown that the halo nucleus ⁶He exhibits two types of dipole resonances, the normal giant dipole resonance and a low-energy soft dipole resonance associated with the excitation of the outer neutrons. Comparing our results with available experimental data we note the role of P-wave interaction. Calculations are performed using the Lorentz integral transform (LIT) method and the effective interaction in the hyperspherical harmonics formalism (EIHH).     

孔缝对金属腔体强电磁脉冲耦合特性影响研究

核电磁脉冲和高功率微波等强电磁脉冲易造成电子设备功能失效甚至损毁,在实际工程实施中用金属腔体对电子设备进行屏蔽是常用的强电磁脉冲抑制手段。基于电磁仿真计算,对含矩形孔缝金属腔体的强电磁脉冲耦合特性进行了系统研究,阐述了孔缝宽长比、腔体尺寸等因素对多种不同类型强电磁脉冲（核电磁脉冲、宽带高功率微波、窄带高功率微波）作用下腔体内耦合场的影响;并以此为基础,重点分析了强电磁脉冲与含孔缝金属腔体之间的作用机制。研究结果表明:不同类型强电磁脉冲耦合信号差异明显,金属腔体对强电磁脉冲的响应是腔体谐振模式、孔缝谐振频率与强电磁脉冲共同作用的结果;当腔体谐振模式、孔缝谐振频率在强电磁脉冲的带内时,腔体内部的耦合场会出现增强效应;特别地,腔体与孔缝间的相互作用还可造成腔体与缝隙的谐振频率发生偏移。因此,在为电子设备设计金属屏蔽外壳时,应基于不同强电磁脉冲的频带范围,对腔体与孔缝的尺寸进行综合设计,抑制腔体、孔缝谐振及谐振频率偏移,提升其强电磁脉冲防护性能。
