Multi-Electron Processes in ^13C^6＋ Ions with Neon Collisions in Energy Region 4.15-11.08 keV/u

The cross-section ratios of double-, triple-, quadruple-, and the total multi-electron processes to the single electron capture process （σ^DE/σ^SC, σ^TE/σ^SC, σ^QE/σ^SC and σ^ME/σ^SC） as well as the relative ratios among reaction channels in double-electron active, triple-electron active and quadruple-electron active are measured in ^13C^6＋_Ne collision in the energy region of 4.15-11.08keV/u by employing position-sensitive and time-of-flight coincident techniques. It is determined that the cross-section ratios σ^DE /σ^SC, σ^TE /σ^SC, σ^QE /σ^SC and σ^ME /σ^SC are approximately the constants of 0.20 ± 0.03, 0.16 ± 0.04, 0.06 ± 0.02 and 0.42 ± 0.05. These values are obviously smaller than the predictions of the molecular Coulomb over-the-barrier model （MCBM） [J. Phys. B 23 （1990） 4293], the extended classical over-the-barrier model （ECBM） [J. Phys. B 19 （1986） 2925] and the semiempirical scaling laws （SL） [Phys. Rev. A 54 （1996） 4127]. However, the relative ratios among partial processes of DE, TE and QE are found to depend on collision energy, which suggests that the collision dynamics depends on the collision velocity. The limitation of velocity-independent character of ECBM, MCBM and SL is undoubtedly shown.     

Transfer Ionization of Helium in Collisions with C^q＋ and O^q＋ （q =1 - 3）

Cross-section ratios σTI/σSC of transfer ionization （TI） to single capture （SC） of C^q＋- and O^q＋-He （q = 1 - 3） collisions in the energy range of 15-440 keV/u （0.8-4.2 vBohr） are experimentally determined. It is shown that σTI/σSC strongly depends on the projectile velocity, and there is a maximum for E（keV/u）/q1/2 ≈, 150. Combining the Bohr-Lindhard model and the statistical model, a theoretical estimate is presented, in reasonable agreement with the experimental data when E（keV//u）/q^1/2 〉 35.     

Transverse momentum and transverse mass distributions of charged hadrons produced in Au--Au collisions at high energies

The transverse momentum distribution and the transverse mass distribution of charged hadrons produced in nucleus nucleus collisions at high energies are described by using a two-cylinder model. The results calculated by the model are compared and found to be in agreement with the experimental data of the STAR and E895 Collaborations, measured in A~Au collisions at the relativistic heavy ion collider （RHIC） and alternating-gradient synchrotron （AGS） energies, respectively. In the energy range concerned, the excitation degree of emission source close to the central axis of cylinders increases obviously with the collision centrality and incident energy increasing, but it does not show any obvious change with the increase of the （pseudo）rapidity in central collisions. The excitation degree of emission source close to the side-surface of cylinders does not show any obvious change with the collision centrality, the （pseudo）rapidity, and the incident energy increasing.     

Influence of core property on multi-electron process in slow collisions of isocharged sequence ions with neon

Influence of core property on multi-electron process in the collisions of q=6-9 and 11 isocharged sequence ions with Ne is investigated in the keV/u region.The cross-section ratios of double-,triple-,quadruple-and total multi-electron processes to the single electron capture process as well as the partial ratios of different reaction channels to the relevant multi-electron process are measured by using position-sensitive and time-of-flight techniques.The experimental data are compared with the theoretical predictions including the extended classical over-barrier model,the molecular Columbic barrier model and the semi-empirical scaling law.Results show a core effect on multi-electron process of isocharge ions colliding with Neon,which is consistent with the results of Helium we obtained previously.     

用PCA方法模拟光子鉴别

The shower shape of n, n^-, p, p^-, K^＋, π^＋ and photons, generated by JPCIAE code for 5.5 TeV/A ^208pb＋^208pb collisions, incident on the ALICE photon spectrometer （PHOS）, is analyzed with the principal component analysis （PCA） method. The efficiency dependence of purity for the photon discrimination is simulated for the deposited energy ranges 0.5-2 GeV, 2-10 GeV, 10-50 GeV and 50-100 GeV. The result shows that in the energy range of 0.5 to 100 GeV, the efficiency of the photon identification can reach 90% with purity of 90%.     

A Discussion on Whether 15-20C Are All Skin Nuclei via Isospin-dependent Boltzmann-Langevin Equation

A new attempt of calculation for the toted reaction cross sections （σR） has been carried out within the isospindependent Boltzmann-Langevin equation in the intermediate energy heavy-ion collision of isotopes of C. The σR of both stable and exotic nuclei are reproduced rather well. The incident energy and isospin dependencies of σR have been investigated. It is found that the isospin effect is comparatively remarkable at intermediate energy. It is also found that 15-18C are neutron skin nuclei but for 19C and 20C we cannot draw a conclusion whether they have halo structures.     

Double Electron Processes in Collisions of Partially Stripped Ions C^q＋ （q = 1-4） with Helium

The multi-electron processes are investigated for 17.9-120 keV/u C^1＋, 30-323 keV/u C^2＋, 120-438 keV/u ^C3＋, 287-480 keV/u C^4＋ incident on a helium target. The cross-section ratios of double electron （DE） process to the total of the single electron （SE） and the double electron process （i.e. SE＋DE）, the direct double electron （DDI） to the direct single ionization （DSI） as well as the contributions of DDI to DE and of TI to DE are measured using coincidence techniques. The energy and charge state dependences of the measured cross-section ratios are studied and discussed.     

Interferometry Signatures for QCD First-Order Phase Transition in High Energy Heavy Ion Collisions

Using the technique of quantum transport of the interfering pair we examine the Hanbury-Brown-Twiss （HBT） interferometry signatures for the particle-emitting sources of pions and kaons produced in heavy ion collisions at 10-30 AGeV. The evolution of the sources is described by relativistic hydrodynamics with the first-order phase transition from quark-gluon plasma （QGP） to hadronic matter. We use quantum probability amplitudes in a path-integral formalism to calculate the two-particle correlation functions, where the effects of particle decay and multiple scattering are taken into consideration. Our model-calculated results indicate that both the HBT radii of pions and kaons increase with the system initial energy density. The HBT lifetimes of the pion and kaon sources increase significantly when the initial energy density is tuned to the phase boundary between the QGP and mixed phase. This increase of HBT lifetimes will likely appear in heavy ion collisions with an incident energy between 10-30 AGeV.     

Emission of Neutral Pions with High Transverse Momenta in A-A and p-p Collisions at Energies Available at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider

Invariant neutral pion （π^0） yields in Au-Au and Cu-Cu collisions and invariant π^0 cross sections in p-p collisions are studied in the framework of a two-cylinder model. The considered distributions of neutral pions at the maximum energy of the relativistic heavy ion eollider （RFIIC） have a tail part in the region of high transverse momentum. A two-component distribution based upon the two-cylinder model is used to describe the experimental data of the PHENIX collaboration.     

Kr L X-ray and Au M X-ray emission for 1.5 MeV–3.9 MeV Kr~(13+) ions impacting on an Au target

Kr L X-ray and Au M X-ray emission for Kr13＋ ions with energies of 1.5 MeV and 3.9 MeV impacting on an Au target are investigated at heavy ion research facility in Lanzhou （HIRFL）. The L-shell X-ray yield per ion of Kr is measured as a function of incident energy. In addition, Kr L X-ray production cross section is extracted from the yield and compared with the result obtained from the classical binary-encounter approximation （BEA） model. Furthermore, the intensity ratio of the Au M/33 to Ma1 X-ray is investigated as a function of incident energy.
