质子滴线核8B的实验研究进展

质子滴线核8B的最后一个质子的分离能只有0.137 5 MeV,被认为是最有可能具有质子晕结构的候选核之一,对其反应机制和奇特结构的研究吸引了人们的关注。针对8B的奇特结构和反应机制研究是一个非常有趣的课题,研究人员在包括反应截面、碎裂产物动量分布宽度、电四极矩、熔合截面及弹性散射等方面开展了大量的工作。但是8B的研究至今仍不够充分,需要从理论和实验上对其进行更深入的研究。     

Decay of a Resonance in 18Ne by the Simultaneous Emission of Two Protons

Radioactive ion beams of 17F were used to study several resonance states in 18Ne. Clear evidence for simultaneous two-proton emission from the 6.15 MeV state (Jpi = 1(-)) in 18Ne has been observed with the reaction 17F+1H. Because of limited angular coverage, the data did not differentiate between the two possible mechanisms of simultaneous decay, diproton (2He) emission or direct three-body decay. The two-proton partial width was found to be 21+/-3 eV assuming 2He emission and 57+/-6 eV assuming three-body decay. The total width of the 1(-) state was measured to be 50+/-5 keV. Several additional resonances that decay by single proton emission were also studied.

Experimental evidence of (2)He decay from (18)Ne excited states

Two-proton decay from (18)Ne excited states has been studied by complete kinematical reconstruction of the decay products. The (18)Ne nucleus has been produced as a radioactive beam by (20)Ne primary projectile fragmentation at 45 AMeV incident energy on a Be target. The (18)Ne at 33 AMeV incident energy has been excited via Coulomb excitation on a (nat)Pb target. The obtained results unambiguously show that the 6.15 MeV (18)Ne state two-proton decay proceeds through a (2)He diproton resonance (31%) and democratic or virtual sequential decay (69%). The quoted branching ratio has been deduced from relative angle and momentum correlations of the emitted proton pairs.     

Formation and decay of the compound nucleus studied in the reaction20Ne+27Al

Energy and velocity spectra, angular and mass distributions have been measured for evaporation residue products of the^{20, 22}Ne+²⁷Al system in the energy range ofE _L (²⁰Ne)=51 to 395 MeV and in the angular rangeθ=2° and 30°. Calculations with simple assumptions of the velocity and angular distributions of the evaporation residues are presented and compared to the data. The structure seen in the mass distributions, a competition between α-particle and nucleon evaporation in the deexcitation of the compound nucleus, is described well by calculations with the computer code CASCADE. The evaporation residues exhibit mass distributions varying systematically as a function of the excitation energy. The excitation function of the evaporation residue cross section is compared with theoretical models. At higher incident energies contributions of incomplete momentum transfer (incomplete fusion) are observed. A limitation for complete compound nucleus formation with following light particle evaporation is found.     

用电子散射研究丰质子核的质子晕结构

理论和实验结果都表明¹⁷F的第一激发态有质子晕存在.用相对论平均场理论和Eikonal近似研究了质子晕核¹⁷F的第一激发态的电子弹性散射过程. 计算了¹⁷F的第一激发态的电荷形状因子,并与¹⁶O和¹⁹F的结果进行了对比和讨论.结果显示质子晕的存在会使中等转移动量的电荷形状因子产生明显的变化,并且使低转移动量的电荷形状因子趋于降低.这说明电子散射对质子晕的存在是非常敏感的,表明可以用电子散射对奇特核的质子晕结构进行更精细的研究.

Quark and Gluon Orbital Angular Momentum: Where Are We?

The orbital angular momentum of quarks and gluons contributes significantly to the proton spin budget and attracted a lot of attention in the recent years, both theoretically and experimentally. We summarize the various definitions of parton orbital angular momentum together with their relations with parton distributions functions. In particular, we highlight current theoretical puzzles and give some prospects.     

丰质子核反应中轻带电粒子发射的同位旋效应

采用同位旋相关的Boltzmann—Langevin方程计算了核素^12-15N和^17-20Ne反应中轻带电粒子发射的同位旋效应。^12-15N与^28Si靶的反应结果显示轻带电粒子的产生截面有明显的同位旋效应,^12N的轻带电粒子产生截面突然增大,与实验得出的结论相同,由此检验了所采用的计算方法的可行性。同时还计算了^17-20Ne与^9Be靶的反应,发现^17Ne的轻带电粒子产生截面也是突然增大,并且其质子分布有较大的弥散,据此认为^17Ne可能具有晕结构。 Within the Boltzmann-Langevin equation, the isospin effects on the production cross sections of light charged particles （LCP） in the reaction of proton rich nuclei were studied. We have calculated the LCP productio n cross sections of the reaction ^12-15N ＋ ^28Si at 55 MeV/u and ^17-20Ne ＋ ^9Be at 60 MeV/u. The LCP production cross sections of ^12N increase abnormally in comparison with those of ^13-15N. The result accorded with experimental one. It also happened to ^17-20Ne. It suggests that ^17Ne is probably a proton halo nucleus.     

Wave functions for low-lying states of light deformed nuclei using a “realistic” hamiltonian and their test by inelastic scattering: The case of 20Ne

Nuclear structure wave functions for the ground and low-lying excited states of ²⁰Ne, obtained from the angular momentum projected deformed particle-hole model using a “realistic” many-nucleon hamiltonian (kinetic energy plus a Brueckner G-matrix based on the Hamada-Johnston potential), are used as input to microscopic antisymmetrised DWBA analyses of inelastic proton scattering from ²⁰Ne. This nuclear structure model, which has been previously shown able to describe the essential features of the giant multipole resonances of both ²⁰Ne and ²⁸Si, predicts angular distributions for inelastic proton scattering, exciting a number of states below 9 MeV in ²⁰Ne, in qualitative agreement with the available data; a somewhat surprising result given the nuclear structure model's completely microscopic formulation. Anomalies observed in the assignment of some predicted levels to experimental states suggest some shortcomings in the form adopted for the hamiltonian.     

Angular Distribution of Elastic Scattering of 17F and 18Ne on Proton

Under reverse kinematics, elastic scattering of ¹⁷F and ¹⁸Ne on proton is studied. The experimental differential cross sections were measured. A kind of global optical potential with the CH89 parameters is used to describe the radioactive nucleus as an initial optical potential parameters. The experimental differential cross section data are analyzed by using the theoretical calculation code DWUCK4 with the distorted wave Born approximation and parameter search subroutine ABOD which automatically searches the suitable parameters. Then the optical potential parameters of scattering ¹⁷F and ¹⁸Ne on proton are obtained. From the analyses of the optimized parameters, the real central potential mean square radii of ¹⁷F and ¹⁸Ne, 3.239fm and 3.317fm are deduced, respectively.     

Proton radioactivity: The case for <Superscript>53m</Superscript>Co proton-emitter isomer

The partial proton emission half-life for ^53mCo unstable isomer is re-examined in the framework of a semiempirical model based on tunneling through a Coulomb-plus-centrifugal-plus-overlapping potential barrier within the spherical nucleus approximation. It is shown that the known measured half-life value of 17s is compatible with a large prolate shape for ^53mCo proton emitter and a high angular momentum ℓ = 11 assigned to the proton transition to the ground state of ⁵²Fe .     

Fast proton production inπ ± Ne at 30 GeV/c

An isospin subtraction technique is used to derive distributions for π^± Ne→pX with an incident π momentum of 30 GeV/c, using precision bubble chamber measurements. Although final-state protons can only be identified by conventional techniques, i.e. ionization, forp _p ≦1 GeV/c, this technique allows us to statistically derive inclusive distributions for protons above 1 GeV/c. Combining these distributions with the identified proton distributions, the total inclusive proton distributions are compared with previously reported results at 10 GeV/c. The 10 and 30 GeV/c distributions are essentially identical, despite a factor of 1.7 increase inE ^CM between the two systems.     

Implication of proton-nucleus scattering for density distributions of unstable nuclei

The use of elastic proton scattering at intermediate and high energies to obtain information about the density distributions of unstable nuclei is investigated. A comparison between the relativistic impulse approximation (RIA) and Glauber model for proton scattering from ¹⁶O, ⁴⁰Ca, ⁴⁴Ca and ⁴⁸Ca at medium energies is performed. We used density distributions derived from the relativistic mean-field theory, employing the recent relativistic force NL-RA1, as well as experimental and phenomenological densities. It is found that the eikonal approximation can describe the cross-section only at small scattering angles and is weakly sensitive to the density distributions, while the RIA nicely produced the experimental cross-sections, even at medium and larger angles, and was very sensitive to the nuclear densities. Furthermore, the RIA better describes the isospin dependence of the cross-section. We used the RIA to investigate the density distribution of ⁵⁸Ca for proton scattering at different energies. It is found that the cross-section strongly depends on the parameters of the density distribution even at a small scattering angle. These results are important in extracting information about the structure of unstable nuclei. We also investigated the RIA and its sensitivity in describing halo nuclei such as ⁶He. We used for ⁶He a no-halo Gaussian density and a realistic-halo density that derived in the cluster orbital shell model approximation and contains the extended distribution of the valence nucleons. Comparison with the recent experimental data at GSI at 717 MeV/nucleon shows that the RIA successfully described the data at all considered range of the momentum transfer and on the other hand favor the halo structure of ⁶He.

Direct α particle emission in incomplete fusion reaction on a spherical target124Sn

Direct α particles cross sections and angular distributions have been measured when bombarding a¹²⁴Sn target with various projectiles:¹⁶O (90, 105, 125 MeV)¹⁹F (104 MeV)²⁰Ne (112, 156 MeV). Results have been found independant of the projectile structure. In the same reactions, gamma multiplicity measurements have shown that direct α particles are emitted in collisions with intermediate impact parameters. The angular momentum is found to be about half of the valuel _cr for complete fusion.     

Revisit to Two-Proton Radioactivity of 19Mg and Observation of Two-Proton Decay of 30Ar

An experiment aimed to investigate the two-proton (2p) decay of the previously unknown nucleus 30Ar was performed at GSI: By tracking the decay products in-flight with silicon micro-strip detectors, the 2p decays of 30Ar were observed for the first time. For the calibration purpose, 2p decays of 19Mg were also remeasured by tracking the coincident 17Ne+p+p trajectories. By comparing the measured angular p-17Ne correlations with those obtained from the corresponding Monte Carlo simulations, the simultaneous 2p decay of 19Mg ground state and the sequential 2p emission of several known excited states of 19Mg were confirmed. One new excited state in 19Mg and two new excited states in 18Na were observed.     

Properties of proton-rich nuclei in a three-body model

Using a three-body model and realistic two-body potentials, we investigate the properties of the nuclei ¹⁸Ne and ²⁸S near the proton dripline. We figure out the two-proton separation energies, occupation of the valence protons, root-mean-square radii of matter and the valence protons. Besides, the spatial correlation densities are displayed to reflect the correlation between the two valence protons. The first excited 0⁺ state of ¹⁸Ne is most likely to be a halo state according to our calculation. Turning off the Coulomb interactions among the three-body systems, we get the two-neutron separation energies and configuration of the valence neutrons of their corresponding mirror nuclei. The results indicate that the three-body model is proper to describe some proton-rich nuclei and can be used to deduce reliable information.
