Mass dependence of pion-induced fission cross sections on the level density parameter

Fission probabilities and fission cross sections strongly depend on the mass number of the target and energy of the projectile. In this research work, a cascade-exciton model (using CEM95 computer code) has been implemented to observe the dependence of pion-induced fission cross sections and fission probabilities on the target mass and ratio of the level density parameter in fission to neutron emission. The analysis has been performed for both the positive and negative pions as the projectile at 80, 100 and 150 MeV energies. The computed cross sections satisfactorily reproduced the experimental findings when compared with the available experimental data in the literature. We observed a smooth dependence at 150 MeV, and a sharper dependence at 80 and 100 MeV pion energy, in the fissility region above 29.44.     

20 MeV以下n+6Li反应的理论计算

核反应R矩阵理论是研究轻核反应以及中重和重核共振能区核反应的重要理论方法。包含能级矩阵非对角元贡献的完全R矩阵理论在理论上比较严格。根据不同的假定和近似得到不同的R矩阵计算方法。新编的R矩阵程序FDRR包含了4种计算方法,包括约化道多能级Breit-Wigner 方法、完全约化R矩阵方法、非对角化能级位移约化R矩阵方法及对角化能级位移约化R矩阵方法。可计算轻核各种两体反应道的截面、角分布。利用FDRR程序对n+6Li 反应20 MeV以下能区进行理论分析和计算,理论计算结果与实验数据进行了比较分析,理论计算得到的截面和角分布与实验数据符合得很好。R-matrix theory is an important theory of light, medium and heavy mass nuclide nuclear reaction in the resonance energy range. Full R-matrix formalism contains the un-diagonal element of energy levels matrix and it is rigorous in theory. Because of different assumptions and approximations, many kinds of R-matrix methods are obtained. The new R-matrix code FDRR is presented and includes 4 kinds of R-matrix methods, reduced multi-level Breit-Wigner R-matrix method, full reduced R-matrix method, un-diagonal energy shift reduced Rmatrixn method, and diagonal energy shift reduced R-matrix method. It can be used for calculating integral cross sections and angular distributions of 2-bodies reactions. The cross sections and angular distributions of n+6Li reaction are calculated and analyzed by FDRR code below 20 MeV. The calculation results are compared with the experimental data, and the cross sections and angular distributions are in good agreement with experimental data.     

Cross Sections of Barium Isotopes in Interaction of 60 MeV／u ^18O with Natural Uranium

The reactions induced by heavy ions lower than 10 MeV/u have been studied widely. Their reaction mechanism has been also understood in more detail. The contribution to the reaction cross sections in the low energy reactions comes mainly from complex nuclei and deep inelastic process. Early studies mainly focused on the nuclear collisions of low and high energies. In the recent years, great attention has been paid on the intermediate energy heavy ion collisions. Among them measurements of the cross sections and recoiling properties for the target fragmentation products have been applied widely to study the mechanism of the nuclear reactions induced by the intermediate energy heavy ions. But there are a few papers on raodioehemieal studies in the intermediate energy region up to now.     

Analysis of Neutron Double-Differential Cross Sections for n ＋ ^12 C Reaction Below 30 MeV

Based on the light nucleus reaction model （Nucl. Sci. Eng. 133 （1999） 218）, four aspects （neutron incident energy region, reaction channel analysis, the renewed level schemes and the optical model parameters） of n＋ ^12 C reaction are improved to calculate total outgoing neutron double-dilferential cross sections with modified LUNF code below 30 MeV. The calculated results agree fairly well with the experimental data at En = 14.1 MeV and 18 MeV. The analysis shows that the pre-equilibrium mechanism, which is exactly considered the conservation of energy, momentum and parity, dominates the whole reaction process. The contribution of the neutron emission from 5He to total energy- angular spectra is also considered properly. This modified LUNF code will be a useful tool to set up the file of neutron double-differential crass sections below 30 Me V in the neutron evaluation nuclear data library.     

Tritium and helium analyses in thin films by enhanced proton backscattering

In order to study how to reliably perform quantitative tritium and helium analyses in thin film samples using enhanced proton backscattering(EPBS),several EPBS spectra for some samples consisting of non-RBS light elements(i.e.,T,4He,12C,16O,natSi),medium and heavy elements have been measured and analyzed using analytical SIMNRA and Monte Carlo-based CORTEO codes.The non-RBS cross sections needed in the CORTEO code are taken from the ENDF/B-Ⅶ.1 database and the calculations of SigmaCalc code and are incorporated into the CORTEO code.All non-RBS cross section data over the entire proton incident energy-scattering angle plane are obtained by interpolation.It is quantitatively observed that in EPBS analysis the multiple and plural scattering effects have little impact on the energy spectra for light elements and the RBS cross sections of light elements can be used in the SIMNRA code for dual scattering calculations.It is also observed that the results given by the CORTEO code are higher than the results of the SIMNRA code in the low energy part of EPBS spectra,and are in better agreement with the experimental data.Tritium and helium analyses in thin film samples using EPBS can be performed reliably when the multiple and plural scattering contributions are completely accounted.     

Further Analysis of Neutron Double-Differential Cross Section of n ＋ ^16O at 14.1 MeV and 18 MeV

By using a new reaction model for light nuclei, the double-differential cross section of total outgoing neutron with LUNF code for n＋^16O reactions at En=14.1 MeV and 18 MeV have been calculated and analyzed. In this paper the opened reaction channels, which have contribution to emitting the neutrons, are listed in detail. To improve the fitting results the direct inelastic scattering mechanism is involved. The calculating results agree fairly well with the experimental data at E,~ = 14.1 MeV and the deviation from calculated results and experimental data in low energy region at En= 18 MeV has been analyzed. Since the possibility of 5He has been affirmed theoretically [J.S. Zhang, Sci. Chin. G 47 （2004） 137], so 5He emission from n＋ ^16O reaction is taken into account, which plays an important role at the region of the outgoing neutron energy εn〈3 MeV in total outgoing neutron energy-angular spectrum. The calculated results indicate that the pre-equilibrium mechanism dominates the whole reaction processes, and the recoil effect in light nuclear reactions is essentially important.     

In-medium NN→NΔ cross section and its dependence on effective Lagrange parameters in isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter

The in-medium NN→N△ cross sections and its differential cross sections in isospin asymmetric nuclear medium are investigated in the framework of the one-boson exchange model by including isovector mesons, i.e., δand p mesons. Our results show that the in-medium NN→N△ cross sections are suppressed when the density increases, and the differential cross sections become isotropic with an increase in the density around the △ threshold energy. The isospin splitting on the medium correction factor, R =σ_(NN→N△)~*/σ_(NN→N△)~(free) is observed for different channels of NN→N△, especially around the threshold energy for all the effective Lagrangian parameters. By analyzing the selected effective Lagrangian parameters, our results show that the larger effective mass is, the weaker medium correction R is.     

Nonradiative charge transfer in collisions of protons with rubidium atoms

The nonradiative charge-transfer cross sections for protons colliding with Rb(5s) atoms are calculated by using the quantum-mechanical molecularorbital close-coupling method in an energy range of 10 3 keV-10 keV.The total and state-selective charge-transfer cross sections are in good agreement with the experimental data in the relatively low energy region.The importance of rotational coupling for chargetransfer process is stressed.Compared with the radiative charge-transfer process,nonradiative charge transfer is a dominant mechanism at energies above 15 eV.The resonance structures of state-selective charge-transfer cross sections arising from the competition among channels are analysed in detail.The radiative and nonradiative charge-transfer rate coefficients from low to high temperature are presented.     

Measurement of the Breakup Cross Sections in ^6He＋^9Be Reaction at 25 MeV／Nucleon

The breakup reaction cross sections were measured for the reaction of^6He at 25 MeV/nucleon from ^9Be target with intensity of 10^5 pps. By fitting the energy spectra of breakup α particles with Gaussian functions, the angular distribution of differential cross sections in the laboratory system has been extracted and compared with the Serber model calculations. The good agreement between the calculation and the experimental data favours a dominant configuration of the ^4He core plus valence neutrons for the structure of^6He.     

Systematical law of (n, γ) reaction cross sections of even-even nuclei

We have derived a formula for the neutron radiative capture cross section in the framework of a statistical model approach to nuclear reactions. Based on this formula, new systematics are established between the (n, γ) reaction cross section and the energy level density of a compound nucleus or a relative neutron excess of an even-even target nucleus for neutron incident energy above the resonance region to MeV. Good agreement with experimental data suggests that this new systematical law is helpful to analyze the experimental data.     

Analysis of Neutron Double-Differential Cross Section of n＋^14N at 14.2 MeV

Abstract By using a new reaction model for light nuclei, the double-differential cross section of n ^14N reactions at En=14.2 MeV has been analyzed. In the case of n ^14N reactions, the reaction mechanism is very complex, there are over one hundred opened partial reaction channels even at incident energy En=14.2 MeV. In this paper the opened reaction channels are listed in detail. With LUNF code the model calculation is performed to analyze the doubledifferential cross sections of total outgoing neutron. The calculated results agree fairly with the experimental data. The results indicate that the pre-equilibrium mechanism dominates the whole reaction processes, and the recoil egect in light nuclear reactions is essentially important. 5He emission has been considered, but it is only a small contribution to thedouble-differential cross section at incident energy En=14.2 MeV.     

On the K^＋—^6Li Elastic Scattering

Total and differential cross sections for K^ -^6Li elastic scattering are calculated using the folding optical potential model,in which the influence of three factors is considered including the recoil of target nucleus,the loosely bounded nuclear density and the unusual spin of ^6Li ground state.The theoretical results are found in pretty good accordance with the existing experimental data at PK=715 MeV/c.     

Measurement of 59Co(ai,x)reaction cross sections with the fast neutrons based on the 9Be(p,n)reaction

The cross sections of the ⁵⁹Co(n,x)reaction in the average energy range of 15.2-37.2 MeV were meas-ured using activation and an off-line γ-ray spectrometric technique.The neutrons were generated from the ⁹Be(p,n)reaction with proton beam energies of 25-45 MeV at the MC-50 Cyclotron facility of the Korean Institute of Radi-ological and Medical Sciences(KIRAMS).Theoretical cal lculations of neutron-induced reactions on ⁵⁹Co were per-formed using the nuclear model code TALYS-1.9.The results for the ⁵⁹Co(n,x)reactions were compared with the theoretical values obtained using TALYS-1.9 and the literature data provided in EXFOR and the TENDL 2019 nuc-lear data library.The theoretical values obtained using TALYS-1.9 with adjusted parameters are comparable to the experimental data.The measured reaction cross sections of a few radionuclides are new,and the others are compar-able to the literature data,and thus,they can strengthen the database.The present study on cross sections leads to useful insight into the mechanisms of ⁵⁹Co(n,x)reactions.     

1.0 MeV电子碰撞引起Ta 和Au 内壳电离截面的测量

无论对深入理解电子-原子的作用机制,还是在材料等领域的实际应用,电子轰击原子的内壳电离截面都具有重要意义。当前电子碰撞引起原子内壳电离的实验数据多集中在几十keV 入射能量和中小Z 靶原子,其它数据相对比较缺乏。本工作以能量为1.0 MeV电子轰击Ta 和Au 靶,通过测量靶原子特征X射线的产额,获得其K壳电离截面分别为13.3 和10.1 b,L 壳电离截面分别为554 和338 b。并将实验结果和相应的理论进行了对比,结果显示,本实验测得的K壳电离截面与Casnati、Hombourger 理论值、L 壳电离截面与Scoeld和Born-Bethe 的理论值相符。Accurate experimental data for atomic inner-shell ionization cross-sections by electrons are of basic importance both in understanding inelastic electron-atom interaction and its application. Up to now, most of available data on this process were mainly concentrated on the low and medium Z atoms by the bombardment of low energy electrons. In present experiments K-shell and L-shell ionization cross-sections of Ta and Au in collisions with 1.0 MeV eleltron were determined by measuring the characteristic X-rays emitted from the target atoms. For the present collision systems the K-shell ionization cross-sections were found to be 13.3 and 10.1 b,and the L-shell ionization cross sections were 554 and 338 b, respectively. The measured K-shell ionization cross sections are in reasonable agreement with the theoretic predictions of Casnati and Hombourger, while L-shell ionization cross sections are consistent with the theoretical results of Soc eld and Born-Bethey.     

Total Nuclear Reaction Cross Section Induced by Halo Nuclei and Stable Nuclei

We develop a method for calculation of the total reaction cross sections induced by the halo nuclei and stable nuclei. This approach is based on the Glauber theory, which is valid for nuclear reactions at high energies. It is extended for nuclear reactions at low energies and intermediate energies by including both the quantum correction and Coulomb correction under the assumption of the effective nuclear density distribution. The calculated results of the total reaction cross section induced by stable nuclei agree well with 30 experimental data within 10 percent accuracy.The comparison between the numerical results and 20 experimental data for the total nuclear reaction cross section induced by the neutron halo nuclei and the proton halo nuclei indicates a satisfactory agreement after considering the halo structure of these nuclei, which implies quite digerent mean fields for the nuclear reactions induced by halo nuclei and stable nuclei. The halo nucleon distributions and the root-mean-square radii of these nuclei can be extracted from the above comparison based on the improved Glauber model, which indicates clearly the halo structures of these nuclei. Especially,it is clear to see that the medium correction of the nucleon-nucleon collision has little effect on the total reaction cross sections, induced by the halo nuclei due to the very weak binding and the very extended density distribution.     

New empirical formula for(γ, n) reaction cross section near GDR peak for elements with Z ≥ 60

A new empirical formula has been developed that describes the(7,n) nuclear reaction cross sections for isotopes with Z ≥ 60.The results were supported by calculations using TALYS-1.6 and EMPIRE-3.2.2 nuclear modular codes.The energy region for incident photon energy has been selected near the giant dipole resonance(GDR) peak energy.The evaluated empirical data were compared with available data in the experimental data library EXFOR.The data produced using TALYS-1.6 and EMPIRE-3.2.2 are in good agreement with experimental data.We have tested and presented the reproducibility of the present new empirical formula.We observe the reproducibility of the new empirical formula near the GDR peak energy is in good agreement with the experimental data and shows a remarkable dependency on key nuclei properties:the neutron,proton and atomic number of the nuclei.The behavior of nuclei near the GDR peak energy and the dependency of the GDR peak on the isotopic nature are predicted.An effort has been made to explain the deformation of the GDR peak in(γ,n) nuclear reaction cross sections for some isotopes,which could not be reproduced with TALYS-1.6 and EMPIRE-3.2.2.The evaluated data have been presented for the isotopes ~(180)W,~(183)W,~(202)Pb,~(203)Pb,~(204)Pb,~(205)Pb,~(231)Pa,~(232)U,~(237)U and ~(239)Pu,for which there are no previous measurements.     

In-medium pion dispersion relation and medium correction of Nπ■Δ near the threshold energy of pion production

Transport models cannot simultaneously explain very recent data on pion multiplicities and pion charged ratios from central collision of Sn+Sn at 0.27 A GeV.This stimulates further investigations on the pion dispersion relation,in-medium Nπ→Δ cross sections,and Δ→Nπ decay widths near the threshold energy or at subthreshold energy of pion production in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter.In this study,the pion dispersion relation,in-medium Nπ→Δ cross section,and Δ→Nπ decay width near the threshold energy are investigated in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter by using the one-boson-exchange model.With the consideration of the energy conservation effect,the in-medium Nπ→Δ cross sections are enhanced at s1/2 <1.11 GeV in a nuclear medium.The prediction of pion multiplicity and π-/π+ ratios near the threshold energy could be modified if this effect is considered in transport model simulations.
