重核融合反应动力学位垒的微观研究

在简要评述重核融合过程中几种主要理论模型的基础上,提出了微观输运动力学模型,即改进的量子分子动力学模型.在这个模型的框架内,我们研究了重核融合位垒的动力学行为.我们发现,随入射能量的减少,可以得到最低的动力学位垒,它趋近于绝热静态位垒.而随入射能量的增加,动力学位垒增加,最后趋近于非绝热静态位垒,这给出了位垒分布的两个边缘.在微观输运动力学模型基础上,我们还研究了在融合路径上,动力学位垒与融合体系微观构型的关系.考虑到融合过程不同时刻的单粒子位势与双中心壳模型位势的相似性,我们可以很好的研究融合过程中,在构型空间里单粒子态及相关量的时间演化行为.

Coulomb final state interaction in identical Boson interferometry

Recently, the muonic three-body systemdtμ, has aroused considerable attention in relation to the realization of a useful muon-catalyzed fusion [1, 2]. This bound system must be solved up to 6 digits in energy to establish the muon catalyzed fusion process. We applied the ATMS method [3] and the coupled-channel method [4] to the Coulomb three-body system and obtained the detailed information on the energy levels and the wave functions of the bound states. Further we investigated the effect of the nuclear interaction on the fusion rate in the bound states [5] and developed a formalism to calculate the muon sticking to⁴He [6]. In this paper we report the results obtained in our collaborations: Figure 2 shows up our main results.     

A New Effect in the QCD Fusion of Nuclear Partons

The parton fusion in nucleus at the leading order of recombination is investigated based on perturbative QCD. We compute various cut diagrams including the nuclear parton fusion, and find that the parton-fusion effects depend on the nuclear QCD structure.     

Nuclear Hexadecapole Deformation Effects on the Production of Super-Heavy Elements

We investigate the effects of the nuclear hexadecapole deformations on the interaction potentials between nuclei, the driving potentials and the fusion probabilities for some cold fusion reactions leading to super-heavy elements. It is found that nuclear hexadecapole deformations change significantly the structure of the driving potentials and the fusion probabilities for some reaction channels.     

Quasi-molecular states of neutrons in dinuclear systems and their effect on fusion of heavy atomic nuclei

The evolution of the wave functions of valence neutrons upon collisions of heavy nuclei having energies near the Coulomb barrier has been investigated by numerical solution of the multidimensional time-dependent Schrödinger equation. It is shown that even before overcoming the barrier by nuclei the wave functions of valence neutrons are extended to their volumes with occupation of quasi-molecular states. This process results in a significant effect of neutron transfers on nuclear fusion and, in particular, in a significant increase in the probability of subbarrier fusion for certain combinations of nuclei.     

Delayed autoionization of recoil ions by the decay of high-spin isomeric states

The time dependence of the ionization for isotopically different heavy ion fusion recoil ions has been observed. Delayed nuclear-induced autoionization of recoil ions caused by the decay of high-spin nuclear isomeric states by internal conversion was established. Internal conversion in isolated recoil atoms results in a drastic rearrangement in the atomic cloud with a loss of a great number of orbital electrons. Possibilities for the use of the observed phenomena in atomic and nuclear physics are discussed.     

Extremal decomposition of Wightman functions and of states on nuclear *-algebras by Choquet theory

We give a short proof for the decomposability of states on nuclear *-algebras into extremal states by using the integral decompositions of Choquet and the nuclear spectral theorem, recovering a recent result by Borchers and Yngvason. The decomposition of Wightman fields into irreducible fields is a special case of this. We also indicate a quick solution of the moment problem on nuclear spaces.     

Elementary Many‐Particle Processes in Plasma Microfields

The effect of electric and magnetic plasma microfields on elementary many‐body processes in plasmas is considered. As detected first by Inglis and Teller in 1939, the electric microfield controls several elementary processes in plasmas as transitions, line shifts and line broadening. We concentrate here on the many‐particle processes ionization, recombination, and fusion and study a wide area of plasma parameters. In the first part the state of art of investigations on microfield distributions is reviewed in brief. In the second part, various types of ionization processes are discussed with respect to the influence of electric microfields. It is demonstrated that the processes of tunnel and rescattering ionization by laser fields as well as the process of electron collisional ionization may be strongly influenced by the electric microfields in the plasma. The third part is devoted to processes of microfield action on fusion processes and the effects on three‐body recombination are investigated. It is shown that there are regions of plasma densities and temperatures, where the rate of nuclear fusion is accelerated by the electric microfields. This effect may be relevant for nuclear processes in stars. Further, fusion processes in ion clusters are studied. Finally we study in this section three‐body recombination effects and show that an electric microfield influences the three‐body electron‐ion recombination via the highly excited states. In the fourth part, the distribution of the magnetic microfield is investigated for equilibrium, nonequilibrium, and non‐uniform magnetized plasmas. We show that the field distribution in a neutral point of a non‐relativistic ideal equilibrium plasma is similar to the Holtsmark distribution for the electrical microfield. Relaxation processes in nonequilibrium plasmas may lead to additional microfields. We show that in turbulent plasmas the broadening of radiative electron transitions in atoms and ions, without change of the principle quantum number, may be due to the Zeeman effect and may exceed Doppler and Stark broadening as well. Further it is shown that for optical radiation the effect of depolarization of a linearly polarized laser beams propagating through a magnetized plasma may be rather strong.

Lasers as a bridge between atomic and nuclear physics

This paper reviews the application of visible and ultraviolet laser radiation to several topics in low-energy nuclear physics. We consider laser-induced nuclear anti-Stokes transitions, laser-assisted and laser-induced internal conversion, and the electron bridge and inverse electron bridge mechanisms as tools for deexcitation and excitation of low-lying nuclear isomeric states. A study of the anomalously low-lying nuclear isomeric states (in the case of the ²²⁹Th nucleus) is presented in detail.     

Large-scale cluster state generation with nuclear spins in diamonds

The cluster state is an indispensable resource for one-way quantum computing (1WQC). We propose a practical scheme for constructing cluster states among nuclear spins in nitrogen-vacancy defect centres (NV centres) in different diamonds. The entanglement of nuclear spins within an NV centre is made by hyperfine coupling via electron spin, and the entanglement between remote NV centres is accomplished using the parity projection of emitted photons. We discus the possibility to build large-scale nuclear-spin cluster states with diamonds.     

Calculation of the real part of the interaction potential between two heavy ions in the sudden approximation

We have calculated the interaction potential between two heavy ions using the energy density formalism and Fermi distributions for the nuclear densities. The experimental fusion barriers are rather well reproduced. The conditions for the observation of fusion between two heavy ions are discussed. As far as the nuclear part of the interaction potential is concerned, the proximity scaling is investigated in detail. It is found that the proximity theorem is satisfied to a good extent. However, as far as the neutron excess is concerned, disagreement with the proximity potential is observed.

Particle accelerator physics and technology for high energy density physics research

Interaction phenomena of intense ion- and laser radiation with matter have a large range of application in different fields of science, extending from basic research of plasma properties to applications in energy science, especially in inertial fusion. The heavy ion synchrotron at GSI now routinely delivers intense uranium beams that deposit about 1 kJ/g of specific energy in solid matter, e.g. solid lead. Our simulations show that the new accelerator complex FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) at GSI as well as beams from the CERN large hadron collider (LHC) will vastly extend the accessible parameter range for high energy density states. A natural example of hot dense plasma is provided by our neighbouring star the sun, and allows a deep insight into the physics of fusion, the properties of matter at high energy density, and is moreover an excellent laboratory for astroparticle physics. As such the sun's interior plasma can even be used to probe the existence of novel particles and dark matter candidates. We present an overview on recent results and developments of dense plasma physics addressed with heavy ion and laser beams combined with accelerator- and nuclear physics technology.     

Electrical detection of coherent nuclear spin oscillations in phosphorus-doped silicon using pulsed ENDOR

We demonstrate the electrical detection of pulsed X-band electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) in phosphorus-doped silicon at 5 K. A pulse sequence analogous to Davies ENDOR in conventional electron spin resonance is used to measure the nuclear spin transition frequencies of the (31)P nuclear spins, where the (31)P electron spins are detected electrically via spin-dependent transitions through Si/SiO(2) interface states, thus not relying on a polarization of the electron spin system. In addition, the electrical detection of coherent nuclear spin oscillations is shown, demonstrating the feasibility to electrically read out the spin states of possible nuclear spin qubits.     

Nuclear fusion rates from resonant states of 3Hedμ molecular ion

We present new theoretical calculations of nuclear fusion rates λ _f ^J from the resonant states of the muonic molecular ion ³Hedμ ⁺⁺ with total angular momenta J=0,1. As a byproduct, new very accurate variational wave functions for these states have been obtained. Using these wave functions, the probability density |Ψ(R=0)|² in a fusion region has been calculated by extrapolating the variational solution to small internuclear distances by means of the multi-channel adiabatic solution. Calculated fusion rates for the states J=0 and J=1 are: λ _f ⁰ =1.9·10⁵s^-1 and λ _f ¹ =0.65·10³s^-1, respectively. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Screening corrections in cold deuterium fusion rates

We have recalculated the fusion rates of the free deuterium molecule, ion and mesomolecule taking into account the shielding of the Coulomb barrier by the electrons and muon. Electron screening increases the rates by several orders of magnitude. The fusion of hydrogen nuclei is known to be the source of energy of stars occuring in their high-temperature, high-pressure interiors. In terrestrial conditions, one attempts currently to tap this source of nuclear fusion energy by alternative techniques, i.e. high-temperature plasmas or muon-catalyzed fusion. Very recently cold fusion in solids has achieved worldwide attention, since experimental evidence for increased hydrogenic fusion rates in palladium and titanium has been reported[1,2]. These reports have motivated us to reconsider the fusion probability of free hydrogen molecules, ions and mesomolecules, following closely the studies of Refs. [3,4,5]. Our aim however is to improve the previous estimates of the respective fusion rates by taking account of the screening effects of the electrons and muons on the nuclear Coulomb barrier which will turn out to be quite important. As in Ref. [5] we will restrict our numerical results to deuterium only.     

Systematic study of the heavy-ion fusion barrier in the frozen approximation

The height and position of the fusion barrier for the real part of the interaction potential between two colliding nuclei are studied as a function of the Coulomb strength. The calculations are performed in the framework of the spherical constrained HF + BCS formalism using the frozen approximation. The effective Skyrme type force SKa is used. The model contains no free parameters. For the height of the fusion barrier good agreement is found with the values obtained using the empirical Bass potential that is known to reproduce well the data for many nuclear systems. In contrast, the recently observed apparent rise of the fusion barrier (‘extra-extra-push’) for very massive nuclear systems with a product of nuclear chargesZ ₁ xZ ₂ above 1600 cannot be reproduced. We also give estimations for the overlap of the mass densities of both colliding nuclei at the fusion barrier distance.     

Preparation of Entanglement of Atoms and of Photons via Cavity Input-Output Process

We propose a method to prepare multipartite entangled states such as cluster states and graph states based on the cavity input-output process and single photon measurement. Two quantum gates, a controlled phase gate and a fusion gate between two atoms trapped in respective cavities, are proposed to prepare atomic cluster states and graph states with one and two dimensions. We also introduce a scheme that can generate an arbitrary multipartite photon duster state which uses two coherent states as a qubit basis.
