AMS measurement of In-situ produced cosmogenic 10Be in Loess Quartz in Luochuan

Loess is the most important and the most typical continental classic sediments of Quaternary. So the measurement of In-situ produced cosmogenic ¹⁰Be is expected to be used for the Loess stratigraphic age. But the production rate of In-situ produced cosmogenic ¹⁰Be in Loess quartz is very low. It requires very high sensitivity and accuracy of measurement. This work has measured the concentrations of ¹⁰Be of two layers in Loess section of Luochuan including L8, L9 and the concentrations of ¹⁰Be in (of) blank sample with the HI-13 AMS system at China Insitute of Atomic Energy(CIAE), then calculated the content of ¹⁰Be in loess quartz for each layer. The ratio of ¹⁰Be/⁹Be was found in the range of 10^－13. The background of ¹⁰Be/⁹Be was about 3×10^－14.

Magnetic moment measurements of mirror nuclei 12B and 12N

The spin polarized β-emitting mirror nuclei ¹²B(I^π=1⁺,T_1/2=20.18 ms) and ¹²N(I^π=1⁺,T_1/2=11 ms) are produced by the low nuclear reactions ¹¹B(d, p) ¹²B and ¹⁰B(³He,n) ¹²N and by selecting the projectile energy and the recoil angle. Their magnetic moments are measured by the β-NMR technique. The magnetic moments obtained after Knight shift correction are μ(¹²B)=1.001(17) μ_N and μ(¹²N)=0.4571(1) μ_N. The calculation using the existing shell model could not reproduce the measured magnetic moments for ¹²B and ¹²N simultaneously.

Measuring D0-D0 mixing in D→f0(980) K and more

We investigate the D⁰-D⁰ mixing through the doubly Cabibbo suppressed (DCS) channel D0→f₀(980)K^*0 and its charge conjugate channel, in which the K^*0 meson is reconstructed in both K⁺π^－ and K_Sπ⁰ final state. Although the decay D⁰→f₀(980)K^* has a small branching ratio, the final state mesons are relatively easy to identify. The f₀(980) meson can be replaced by the S-wave π⁺π^－ state, or a longitudinally polarized vector meson ρ⁰. All mixing parameters, including the mass difference and decay width difference, can be extracted by studying the time-dependent decay width of these channels. We show that the method is valid in all regions for mixing parameters and it does not depend on the strong phase difference.     

Excess 3H in the volcanic lakes: evidence for natural nuclear fusion

The excess ³H (tritium) have been observed in the volcanic lakes Nemrut (Turkey), Laacher (Germany) and Pavin (France). The ⁴He and ³He concentrations in Lakes Nemrut, Laacher, and Pavin were determined to be 25 and 190, 10 and 50, and 70 and 500 times larger than the atmospheric saturation value respectively. The isotopic ratio of the helium excess, ³He_ex/⁴He_ex, in Lakes Nemrut, Laacher and Pavin was (1.032±0.006)×10^－5, (7.42±0.03)×10^－6 and (9.09±0.01)×10^－6 respectively. The ³He/⁴He ratio of helium isotopes in the lake can help us to identify the origin of gas fluxes from the interior of the Earth. The ³He/⁴He ratios in the Lakes Nemrut, Laacher and Pavin clearly indicate that a large amount of helium isotopes were released to the lakes from mantle source. The excess ³H at the bottom of Lakes Nemrut, Laacher and Pavin have a good correlation with mantle ³He. We consider that the excess ³H might be also released from mantle source and both ³H and ³He might be produced by nuclear fusion (d-d reaction) in an environment rich in H atoms and (U+Th) at high temperature and high pressure condition in deep Earth.     

A Bragg curve detector and its application in AMS measurements for medium-weight nuclides

The schematic layout and principle of a Bragg curve detector were showed in this paper. A Bragg curve detector was systemically modified and its performance was improved. The total energy resolution of the detector is 0.9% for alpha particle at energy of 5.48 MeV from ²⁴¹Am source, and the Bragg Peak resolution is 1.6%. Measurement of medium-weight nuclides by using the Bragg curve detector were carried at CIAE-AMS system. series of ³⁶Cl and ⁴¹Ca standard samples were measured. The results showed that this Bragg curve detector could clearly identify isobars ³⁶Cl-³⁶S and ⁴¹Ca-⁴¹K. The results also showed that the ΔZ/Z of 1/47, corresponding to Bragg Peak resolution is 2.1% at ion atomic number of about 16. The Bragg curve detector can be successfully used for AMS measurement.

Study of the structure of borromean nucleus 17Ne

The ¹⁷Ne nucleus is a possible candidate with a two-proton borromean halo structure. Since the theoretical model is difficult to handle the three-body system, it is difficult to determine the two-proton halo structure in ¹⁷Ne. In the present research, we try to study the breakup reaction of ¹⁷Ne. For the Borromean nuclei, one-proton knockout results in an unstable nucleus which is decaying further by proton emission. This process will result in an angular correlation between the direction of the aligned recoiling unstable nucleus and its decay products. The angular correlations can give us information about the configuration of the valence proton in the ¹⁷Ne. Furthermore, theoretical calculations indicate that the momentum distributions of ¹⁶F c.m are sensitive to the structure of the halo in ¹⁷Ne. Thus the measurement of momentum distributions of ¹⁶F c.m may also give us conclusive information on the structure of ¹⁷Ne. The present experiment has been done at IMP in Lanzhou using the radioactive beam ¹⁷Ne at 30.8 MeV/u on a 43mg/cm^{2 12}C target. The data analysis is under procedure and the primary results are provided.     

Gamma decay of the lowly excited states of 189Re

¹⁸⁹W activities were produced via the ¹⁹²Os(n, α) reaction using irradiation of isotopically enriched ¹⁹²Os metallic powder of ~100 mg/cm² with 14 MeV neutrons. The X-γ and γ-γ coincidence measurements were made so as to obtain γ rays from ¹⁸⁹W decay and its coincidence relations. A new simple decay scheme of ¹⁸⁹W including three γ rays of 210.2, 229.6 and 260.2 keV is proposed. Two new levels of ¹⁸⁹Re at 470.4 and 489.8 keV are assigned.     

Recent progress in AMS measurement of 182Hf at the CIAE

In order to improve the accuracy of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) measurement for ¹⁸²Hf/¹⁸⁰Hf, a series of measurements have been taken in the AMS laboratory at the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE). The major ones include the instantaneous monitoring of ¹⁸⁰HfF₅^- current, testing the stability of transmission, the alternate measurements of an unknown sample and standard, and the origin identification and minimization of background ¹⁸²W. The experimental details and the improvement in the measurement accuracy, as well as some useful suggestions for better satisfying the requirements of certain practical applications, are presented in this paper.     

Description of the candidate chiral doublet bands in 98Tc

The candidate chiral doublet bands in ⁹⁸Tc with configuration πg_9/2 × νh_11/2 are studied theoretically for the first time via the triaxial particle rotor model. The main properties of the doublet bands including the energy spectra and electromagnetic transitions are calculated for different triaxiality parameter γ, and the data in ⁹⁸Tc can be well described by the calculations with γ=38°. Based on the analysis of angular momentum components, it is found that the chiral rotational geometry in ⁹⁸Tc deviates from the ideal chiral picture.

Production cross-section of 230Ra in the reaction of 60 MeV/u 18O ions with 238U

A thick natural uranium target was bombarded with a 60 MeV/u ¹⁸O beam. The neutron-rich isotope ²³⁰Ra as the target residue was produced through the multinucleon transfer reaction(²³⁸U-4p-4n). The barium and radium fraction as BaCl₂ precipitate were radiochemically separated first from the mixture of uranium and reaction products. Then, the radium fraction was separated from BaCl₂ precipitate by using cation exchange technique. The γ-ray spectra of the Ra fraction were measured using an HPGe detector. The production cross sections of ²³⁰Ra were obtained by a combination of the radiochemical separation technique and off-line γ-ray spectroscopy. The cross section of ²³⁰Ra has been determined to be 66±20 μb.
