综述了基于改进的量子分子动力学模型对超重核合成中入射道静态势的研究,重点从静态势垒高及其与质量不对称度的关系说明弹靶组合不对称有利于熔合反应的发生,而接触点驱动势最大所对应的弹靶组合为合成超重元素的最佳选择。     

改进的Woods-Saxon势在超重核合成中的应用

基于Skyrme能量密度泛函(SEDF)方法,提出了改进的Woods-Saxon势(MWS)来描述核-核相互作用。使用MWS势计算了大量的熔合反应的熔合势垒与基于SEDF方法的计算结果非常靠近。我们进一步用MWS势为合成超重元素的10个冷熔合反应与8个热熔合反应选择恰当的入射能量做了初步探索,发现将入射能量选择在平均势垒Bm和MWS势计算的势垒Bws之间更有利于超重核的产生,预言了合成120号超重元素的4个不同反应体系的最佳入射能量范围。

运用约化维数量子动力学理论，利用含时波包法，对反应D+CD₄→CD_{3+D2进行了四维量子散射计算.将反应多原子CD4看作双原子D—CD 3，反应D+CD4→CD3+D2看作单原子-双原 子反应，把体系的反应简化为四维散射问题. 波函数的传播采用分裂算符法，为避免格点边界处含时波函数的边界反射，采用了光学吸收 势法，在格点边界处引入光学势，消除边界反射.根据CD4分子的C3v对称性， 选取了Jordan和Gilbert提出的半经验势能面.计算结果表明，反应概率随平动能的变化图像 ，呈现出显著的量子共振特性，这是很多提取反应的共同特征.而不同振动态下的反应概率 随平动能的变化表明，随振动量子数的增大，反应概率有明显提高，且反应阈能明显降低， 这说明反应分子的振动能对分子的碰撞反应有重要贡献.而对基态和第一振动激发态时散射 截面的计算，也证明了这一结论.同时，还分别通过计算量子数j，k，m对反应概率的影响， 对该反应的空间取向效应进行了研究，并与H+CH4→CH3+H2反应进行了比较. 关键词： 含时波包 量子散射 反应概率}     

离线γ技术测量重离子熔合复合核平均角动量

使用离线γ测量技术在质心系25.0—40.5MeV的能区测量了¹²C+⁹³Nb熔合反应产生的二中子和三中子蒸发道的激发函数。由于在相同的激发能下,蒸发道的相对截面比与复合核的角动量有很强的依赖关系,应用统计蒸发程序(CASCADE),从二中子和三中子蒸发道的截面中提取不同能量下的复合核平均角动量和熔合截面。同时从能很好地拟合熔合激发函数的简单耦合道模型(CCFUS)计算中提取复合核的平均角动量。两种方法得到的复合核平均角动量随入射能量的变化相自洽,表明耦合道模型 关键词：     

碰撞几何构型对相对论重离子碰撞旁观者核子的影响（英文）

在不同的核物质对称能下利用约束的Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov计算得到了形变核的核子分布,基于此计算了RHIC能量下形变核碰撞产生的自由旁观者核子数及中质子产额比,并分析了中子皮和碰撞几何构型的影响。本工作发现,相比于其他碰撞构型,长椭球核的头对头碰撞和扁椭球核的腰对腰碰撞产生的自由旁观者核子数最少。旁观者中质子产额比敏感于中子皮的平均厚度,因此是对称能的良好探针,但不同碰撞几何构型所得到的产额比依赖于中子皮的极化角分布。在某些碰撞体系中,碰撞几何构型的效应大约为对称能效应的50%。由于²³⁸U和⁹⁶Zr的特殊形变中子皮,相对于其他碰撞构型,旁观者中质子产额比对对称能的敏感性在头对头的²³⁸U+²³⁸U碰撞和腰对腰的⁹⁶Zr+⁹⁶Zr碰撞得到了增强。此研究可能开启新的研究方向,即通过筛选高能形变核碰撞的几何构型来研究形变的中子皮分布。     

五参数哑铃模型中核熔合反应的新奇不稳定度

在原子核熔合反应或裂变反应的动力学过程中,颈部变量都起着非常重要的作用。通常情况下,模型中变量的定义根据各种描述宏观形变的参数的不同而不同。为了进一步研究颈部增长在核熔合反应中的作用,通过引入弹核和靶核的形变参量来拓展哑铃模型。在此框架下,计算了从两个接触核到生成一个复合核过程的核熔合反应系统在不同形变下的势能曲面,同时又对核熔合反应体系的惯性张量和粘滞张量进行了计算,这些物理量的计算都为以后的朗之万动力学研究打下了基础。计算结果表明,在改进后的五参数哑铃模型之中,颈部变量是不稳定度并在核反应中起重要作用。     

用QMD模型研究晕核11Be+208Pb的熔合机制

通过用QMD模型研究晕核¹¹Be+²⁰⁸Pb的近垒熔合反应,发现晕核引起的熔合反应中,并存着两种相互竞争的机制:一方面当入射晕核¹¹Be靠近靶核时,由于¹¹Be是弱束缚体系,与靶核的相互作用可使其很容易破裂或少数核子被靶核俘获形成核子转移反应,从而对于熔合表现出压制;另一方面当¹¹Be的少数中子进入靶核并与靶核相互作用而使得靶核有些激发,而使局部半径增大,导致熔合势垒降低,熔合截面增强.用QMD模型计算出的熔合截面与实验值基本符合,垒附近表现出增强效应.

Investigation of the role of the projectile-target orientation angles on the evaporation residue production

The measured yield of evaporation residues in reactions with massive nuclei have been well reproduced by using the partial fusion and quasifission cross sections obtained in the dinuclear-system model. The influence of the orientation angles of the projectile- and target-nucleus symmetry axes relative to the beam direction on the production of the evaporation residues is investigated for the ⁴⁸Ca + ¹⁵⁴Sm reaction as a function of the beam energy. At the low beam energies only the orientation angles close to αP = 30° (projectile) and αP = 0°–15° (target) can contribute to the formation of evaporation residues. At large beam energies (about E _c.m. = 140–180 MeV) the collisions at all values of orientation angles αP and α _T of reactants can contribute to the evaporation residue cross section which ranges between 10–100 mb, while at E _c.m. > 185 MeV the evaporation residue cross section ranges between 0.1–1 mb because the fission barrier for the compound nucleus decreases by increasing its excitation energy and angular momentum.     

Fusion-fission dynamics in the superheavy nucleus production

The fusion-fission reaction mechanism leading to the massive nucleus formation is studied. We investigate the superheavy nucleus formation in heavy-ion induced reactions by analysing the evaporation residue (ER) production in order to study the fusion dynamics and the decay properties of nuclei close to the stability island at Z=114. We consider the ⁶¹Ni+²⁰⁸Pb, ⁴⁸Ca+²³⁸U and ⁴⁸Ca+²⁴⁴Pu reactions that lead to the Z=110, 112 and 114 superheavy elements respectively. By using the dinuclear system (DNS) concept of the two interacting nuclei we calculate the quasifission-fusion competition in the entrance channel and the fission-evaporation competition along the de-excitation cascade of the compound nucleus. The dynamics of the entrance channel allows us to determine the beam energy window which is favorable to the fusion, while the dynamic evolution of the compound nucleus on the shell correction to the fission barrier and the dissipative effects influence the fission-evaporation competition in order to obtain the residue nuclei from the superheavy nucleus formation. We also calculate the τ _n /τ_tot ratio at each step of the de-excitation cascade of the compound nucleus and we present a systematics of τ _n /τ_tot (at first step of the cascade) for many reactions that lead to nuclei with Z=102–114.     

Investigation of di-nuclear systems as entrance channel to fusion

We investigated the capture stage and successive nucleon transfer from the projectile to the target in the superheavy system ⁶⁴ ₂₈Ni + ²⁰⁷  ₈₂Pb (Z _proj. + Z _target = 110) . The target-like transfer products were detected at forward angles of (0±2) degrees, such, we selected nuclei resulting from central collisions. The data reveal several analogies to cold fusion reactions leading to superheavy elements. The observations are in accordance with the two-center shell model. The experiments have been performed at the velocity filter SHIP at GSI.     

Angular anisotropy of the fusion-fission and quasifission fragments

The anisotropy in the angular distribution of the fusion-fission and quasifission fragments for the ¹⁶O + ²³⁸U , ¹⁹F + ²⁰⁸Pb and ³²S + ²⁰⁸Pb reactions is studied by analyzing the angular-momentum distributions of the dinuclear system and compound nucleus which are formed after capture and complete fusion, respectively. The orientation angles of the axial symmetry axes of the colliding nuclei relative to the beam direction are taken into account for the calculation of the variance of the projection of the total spin onto the fission axis. It is shown that there is a large contribution of the quasifission fragments in the ³²S + ²⁰⁸Pb reaction to the deviation of the experimental angular anisotropy from the statistical model results. Enhancement of anisotropy at low energies in the ¹⁶O + ²³⁸U reaction is connected with the quasifission of the dinuclear system having low temperature and relatively small effective moment of inertia.     

Reactions of massive nuclei for the synthesis of heavy and superheavy nuclei

We study the effect of the entrance channel and the shell structure of reacting massive nuclei on the fusion mechanism and the formation of evaporation residues of heavy and superheavy nuclei. In the framework of the combined dinuclear system concept and advanced statistical model, we analyze the reactions ³²S+¹⁸²W, ⁴⁸Ti+¹⁶⁶Er and ⁶⁰Ni+¹⁵⁴Sm leading to ²¹⁴Th^*, and the reactions ⁴⁸Ca+²⁴⁸Cm and the ⁴⁸Ca+²⁴⁹Cf leading to the ²⁹⁶116 and ²⁹⁷118 compound nuclei, respectively.     

Effect of properties of superheavy nuclei on their production and decay

Properties and stability of superheavy nuclei resulting from hot fusion are discussed. It is shown that the microscopic–macroscopic approach allows obtaining the closed proton shell at Z ≥ 120. Isotopic trends of K-isomeric states in superheavy nuclei are predicted. Evaporation residue cross sections in hot fusion reactions are calculated using the predicted properties of superheavy nuclei. Interruption of α decay chains by spontaneous fission is analyzed. Alpha decay chains through isomeric states are considered. Internal level densities in superheavy nuclei are microscopically calculated.     

Formation of heavy and superheavy elements by reactions with massive nuclei

The effects of the entrance channel and shell structure on the experimental evaporation residues have been studied by analyzing the ³²S + ¹⁸²W, ⁴⁸Ti + ¹⁶⁶Er and ⁶⁰Ni + ¹⁵⁴Sm reactions leading to ²¹⁴Th^*; the ⁴⁰Ar + ¹⁸¹Ta reaction leading to ²²¹Pa^*; the ⁴⁸Ca + ²⁴³Am, ²⁴⁸Cm, ²⁴⁹Cf reactions leading to the ²⁹¹115, ²⁹⁶116 and ²⁹⁷118 superheavy compound nuclei, respectively. The fusion mechanism and the formation of evaporation residues of heavy and superheavy nuclei have been studied. In calculations of the excitation functions for capture, fusion and evaporation residues we used such characteristics as mass asymmetry of nuclei in the entrance channel, binding energies and shape of colliding nuclei, potential energy surface, driving potential, partial-fusion cross-sections and survival probability of the compound nucleus, ratio at each step along the de-excitation cascade of the compound nucleus. The calculations have allowed us to make useful conclusions about the mechanism of the fusion-fission process, which is in competition with the quasifission process, and the production of the evaporation residues.Received: 22 April 2003, Revised: 26 June 2003, Published online: 18 December 2003PACS: 25.70.Gh Compound nucleus - 25.70.-z Low and intermediate energy heavy-ion reactions - 27.80. + w - 27.90. + b      

Synthesis of superheavy elements at the Dubna gas-filled recoil separator

A survey of experiments at the Dubna gas-filled recoil separator (Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, JINR, Dubna) aimed at the detection and study of the “island of stability” of superheavy nuclei produced in complete fusion reactions of ⁴⁸Са ions and ²³⁸U–²⁴⁹Cf target nuclei is given. The problems of synthesis of superheavy nuclei, methods for their identification, and investigation of their decay properties, including the results of recent experiments at other separators (SHIP, BGS, TASCA) and chemical setups, are discussed. The studied properties of the new nuclei, the isotopes of elements 112–118, as well as the properties of their decay products, indicate substantial growth of stability of the heaviest nuclei with increasing number of neutrons in the nucleus as the magic number of neutrons N = 184 is approached.     

Hints of giant halo in Zr isotopes by resonant RMF+ACCC+BCS approach

In experiments for the synthesis of superheavy elements at the velocity filter SHIP, GSI, we observed fission events, which could not be attributed to decay chains of superheavy isotopes from fusion reactions. Usually, the observation of spontaneous fission is a crucial first step for the detection of decay chains. In order to avoid random correlations and misidentifications of superheavy isotopes, it is therefore essential to know the features and cross-sections of fission events not originating from decay chains of superheavy nuclei. The special properties of the velocity filter allowed us to identify and study the ??background?? fission events as decay products of heavy target-like nuclides populated in nucleon transfer reactions. Here, we will discuss the results obtained in collisions of ₂₀ ⁴⁸ Ca + ₉₆ ²⁴⁸ Cm, ₂₄ ⁵⁴ Cr + ₉₆ ²⁴⁸ Cm and ₂₈ ⁶⁴ Ni + ₉₂ ²³⁸ U, which were applied for the synthesis of elements Z = 116 and 120, respectively.
