聚变堆与聚变堆材料——D-^3He先进燃料靶惯性约束聚变的燃耗和增益

本文研究采用大功率激光束压缩球形均匀D-^3He先进燃料靶聚变，推导和计算了这种惯性约束聚变（ICF）的靶丸燃耗和增益，数值计算表明，只有在小火花内能和较高惯性约束参数HF近似下，对典型的堆系统效率参数，才有可能使D-^3He靶ICF系统有大的净能量输出。相反，在大火花内能和低HF近似下，D-^3He靶ICF系统几乎不可能得到净的能量输出，从而证明了快点火思维方法的科学依据。

用QMD模型研究晕核 11 Be+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。

Implementation of the thermonuclear process in D<Superscript>3</Superscript>He-<Superscript>9</Superscript>Be plasma on the basis of a Z pinch with an ultrafast laser ignition

A new concept of inertial-magnetic confinement fusion is proposed. This concept is based on a high-current Z pinch combined with a femtosecond laser. The fusion target is composed of a D³He fuel contained under a high pressure inside a sealed cylindrical capsule made from metallic ⁹Be. An electric discharge along the capsule preheats the target and transforms it into a state of compressed liner. A subsequent TW femtosecond-laser pulse focused on a target end face causes ultrafast cold ignition of a small portion of the D³He fuel. This laser impact generates energetic electrons and ions, which trigger a nuclear-physics mechanism of a catalytic heating of the fuel and also creates a detonation shock wave capable of propagating along the plasma filament. It is shown that the self-sustaining fusion burn wave can appear in the D³He-⁹Be plasma, in which case the bulk of the energy release is carried by nonradioactive ions, with the energy gain being in excess of 50. The possibility of probing the fusion process by means of gamma-ray spectroscopy is also discussed. The radiative-capture reactions ³He(d, γ), D(d, γ), and ³He(³He, γ) naturally accompanying the burning of the D³He fuel are shown to serve as a convenient diagnostic tool. A nuclear “marker” of D³He fusion on the basis of the detection of monochromatic gamma rays produced in the reaction ⁹Be(α, γn), which is induced in the liner beryllium shell by energetic fusion alpha particles, is also examined.     

Elastic scattering for the system 11Be + 209Bi at Coulomb barrier energies

The elastic scattering process for ¹¹Be ions impinging on a ²⁰⁹Bi target was studied in the energy range around the Coulomb barrier. The angular distributions of the ¹¹Be scattered particles were analyzed within the optical model framework in order to evaluate the reaction cross section, which turned out to be much larger than the fusion one, especially in the sub-barrier region. The comparison with the system ⁹Be + ²⁰⁹Bi showed that the reaction cross section is larger for the reaction ¹¹Be + ²⁰⁹Bi in the energy range around the Coulomb barrier, while they are rather similar at higher bombarding energies. This result suggests that direct processes related to the ¹¹Be halo structure and lower binding energy are more relevant at near-barrier energies.     

Extended Glauber Theory and Its Application in Halo Nucleus Scattering

We introduced an extended Glauber theory for a halo nucleus scattering, where the halo nucleons and the nuclear core were treated separately. Expressions of reaction and interaction cross sections of the halo nucleus scattering were derived. We took the halo structure of the projectile nucleus into account and adopted an improved optical limit approximation. In the framework of the extended Glauber theory, we studied the reaction cross section for the halo nucleus ¹⁴Be scattering on a target ¹²C. For comparison, the reaction cross sections of ¹²Be+¹²C were calculated as well. The density distribution of target ¹²C is taken from experiments, and those of the projectiles ¹²Be and ¹⁴Be were obtained by two methods. One is that the harmonic oscillator wave functions for ¹²Be and ¹⁴Be are used. The length of harmonic oscillator is adjusted to reproduce the reaction cross section of ¹²Be+¹²C at the high energy E=790MeV/u . The density distribution of ¹⁴Be was also calculated self-consistently in the relativistic mean field (RMF) theory, with a long tail wave functions for the two neutrons in ¹⁴Be. It was found that the calculated reaction cross sections for ¹²Be+¹²C at E=790MeV/u and E=56.5MeV/u were in good agreement with the experimental data no matter harmonic oscillator or RMF wave functions were used. In contrast, the experiments of the reaction cross sections for ¹⁴Be+ ¹²C could only be reproduced when the wave functions of two 2s_1/2 neutrons spreaded over with a long tail. It comes to a conclusion that two outside neutrons in ¹⁴Be form a halo structure.     

Fusion suppression and sub-barrier breakup of weakly bound nuclei

The mechanism for the large suppression of complete fusion in the 9Be+208Pb reaction has been investigated through measurement of sub-barrier breakup of 9Be. Excluding breakup through the 8Be ground state, whose lifetime is too long, a prompt breakup component remains, having sufficient probability to explain the observed suppression of complete fusion. This appears to be associated with interactions at the nuclear surface. The fusion suppression is predicted to be almost proportional to the charge of the target nucleus, making it most significant in reactions with heavy nuclei.

Disentangling the reaction mechanisms of weakly bound nuclei

Complete and incomplete fusion cross sections for the ⁹Be + ¹⁴⁴Sm reaction have been measured at near-barrier energies, using the delayed X-ray detection technique. At above-barrier energies these show a suppression of complete fusion for this weakly bound projectile on an intermediate mass target. The suppression factor, attributed to ⁹Be break-up, was deduced from a comparison of complete fusion yields with coupled-channels calculations, and appears consistent with measured incomplete fusion product yields. At ∼10%, it is considerably smaller than the value of ∼30% previously found for a ²⁰⁸Pb target. Simultaneous measurements of elastic and inelastic scattering permit a clearer picture of the reaction mechanisms.
