在中高能质子诱发散裂反应相关核工程设计中,可靠的蒙特卡罗模拟程序结合核反应理论模型具有较好的理论指导意义。本工作中,利用GEANT4耦合INCL4和ABLA理论模型以及FLUKA耦合PEANUT模型模拟计算了几百MeV至几个GeV质子轰击Be,Al,Fe,W,U等靶后30°,60°,120°,150°出射角产生的散裂中子双微分截面,并与现有实验数据进行了比较。结果发现,FLUKA和GEANT4模拟计算较好地再现了Al,Fe,W,U等靶实验测量数据。然而,模拟结果明显低估了Be靶出射中子能量小于10 MeV能区的实验数据。For the design of nuclear engineering related with medium-high energy proton induced spallation reaction,the reliable Monte Carlo simulation codes coupled with nuclear reaction models have a good theoretical guidance.In this work,the production spallation neutron double differential cross sections at 30°,60°,120°,150°emission angle for Be,Al,Fe,W,U target materials at incident proton energies between several hundred MeV and GeV are theoretically calculated by using the GEANT4 coupled INCL4 and ABLA,and the FLUKA coupled PEANUT.The calculated results were compared with the available experimental data.It is found that the GEANT4 and FLUKA calculations well reproduced the experimental measurement of Al,Fe,W,U target materials.However,calculations obviously underestimated the emission neutrons of Be target for lower than 10 MeV energy range.     

试用特洛伊木马方法研究天体核反应9Be（p，α）6Li

为克服低能带电粒子核反应截面直接测量中所遇到的库仑位垒和电子屏蔽效应带来的困难，试用基于准自由反应机制的特洛伊木马方法，在意大利南部国家核物理实验室的15MV串列加速器上，通过^2H（^9Be，α^6Li）n核反应对^9Be（p，α）^6Li在低能区（Ecm=0-1000kev）的裸核反应截面做了间接测量，并将测量结果与直接测量数据进行了比较。The beryllium abundance acts as a key role for understanding the inhomogeneous Big Bang nucleosynthesis. In order to measure the ^9Be（p, α）^6Li bare nucleus cross section and S（E） factor at astrophysical energies, the Trojan Horse Method （THM） can be applied. The main feature of the method is that it allows to extract the energy dependence for the astrophysical S（E） factor of bare nuclei at very low energies without any extrapolation, by measuring the cross section of an appropriate three body process. Thus the ^9Be （p,α）^6Li has been studied by means of the THM applied to the ^2H（^9Be,α^6Li）n at INFN-LNS, Catania, Italy. The two body reaction cross section has been studied in the energy range of Ecm=0-1 000 keV. Preliminary results are discussed and a comparison with direct data is made.     

Influence of breakup on elastic and α-production channels in the ~6Li+~(116)Sn reaction

The effects of breakup reactions on elastic and α-production channels for the ~6Li+~(116)Sn system have been investigated at energies below and near the Coulomb barrier. The angular distributions of α-particle production differential cross sections have been obtained at several projectile energies between 22 and 40 MeV. The measured breakup α-particle differential cross sections and elastic scattering angular distributions have been compared with the predictions of continuum-discretized coupled channels(CDCC) calculations. The influence of breakup coupling has also been investigated by extracting dynamic polarization potentials(DPP) from the CDCC calculations. From the predictions of CDCC calculations the relative importance of the nuclear, Coulomb, and total breakup contributions have also been investigated. The nuclear breakup couplings are observed to play an important role in comparison to the Coulomb breakup for the direct breakup mechanisms associated in the reaction of ~6Li projectile with ~(116)Sn target nuclei. The influence of strong nuclear breakup coupling exhibits suppression in the Coulomb-nuclear interference peak. The direct breakup cross sections from the CDCC calculations under-predict the measured α-particle differential cross sections at all energies. This suggests that the measured α particles may also have contributions from other possible breakup reaction channels.

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.     

Angular Distribution of the 12C（6He, 7Li）nB Reaction

Angular distribution of the 12C（6He, 7Li）llB transfer reaction is measured with a secondary 6He beam of 36.4 MeV for the first time. The experimental angular distribution is well reproduced by the distorted-wave Born approxima- tion （DWBA） calculation. The success of the present experiment shows that it is feasible to measure one-nucleon transfer reaction on a light nucleus target with the secondary beam facility of the 1-11-13 tandem accelerator at China Institute of Atomic Energy （CIAE）, Beijing.     

An Investigation of ~4He+~(12)C and ~4He+~(16)O Reactions Using the Cluster Model

The α-target semimicroscopic single folding potentials have been derived by folding a composite (repul-sive and attractive) effective α-α interaction with the α-cluster distribution density in the target nuclei. The obtained potentials are considered as the real part of the nuclear optical model potentials, while the imaginary parts are phe-nomenologicaly expressed using the Woods-Saxon form. Nine sets of measured experimental data of the 4He+12C and 4 He+16O elastic rainbow scattering over the energy range 80-240 MeV are analyzed using the obtained potentials. The data are successfully reproduced using the extracted potentials. The resulted reaction cross sections are also investigated and compared with the available corresponding data.     

Time-dependent quantum dynamics study for reaction of D+CH4→CH3+HD

The semirigid vibrating rotor target (SVRT) model has been applied to the study of the reaction of D+CH_4→CH_3+HD using a time-dependent wave packet method. The energy dependence of the calculated reaction probability shows oscillatory structures similar to those observed in the abstraction reaction of H+H_2, H+CH_4 etc. We have also studied the influence of rotational and vibrational excitation of the reacting molecule (CH_4) on reaction probability. The excitation of the H－CH_3 stretching vibration gives significant enhancement of reaction probability, which rises significantly with the enhancement of rotational quantum number j. Finally, we have compared the cross section and the rate constant of the D+CH_4 system with that of the H+CH_4 system.     

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.     

Ionization and single electron capture in collision of highly charged Ar16+ ions with helium

This paper uses the two-centre atomic orbital close-coupling method to study the ionization and the single electron capture in collision of highly charged Ar^16＋ ions with He atoms in the velocity range of 1.2-1.9 a.u.. The relative importance of single ionization （SI） to single capture （SC） is explored. The comparison between the calculation and experimental data shows that the SI/SC cross section ratios from this work are in good agreement with experimental data. The total single electron ionization cross sections and the total single electron capture cross sections are also given for this collision. The investigation of the partial electron capture cross section shows a general tendency of capture to larger n and l with increasing velocity from 1.2 to 1.9 a.u..     

利用GEANT4和TALYS研究中子与铁作用的次级中子双微分截面

Microscopic calculation of the 3He(α,γ)7Be and 3H(α,γ)7Li capture cross sections using realistic interactions

The radiative capture cross sections for the 3He(α,γ)7Be and 3H(α,γ)7Li reactions are calculated in the fully microscopic fermionic molecular dynamics approach using a realistic effective interaction that reproduces the nucleon-nucleon scattering data. At large distances bound and scattering states are described by antisymmetrized products of 4He and 3He/3H ground states. At short distances the many-body Hilbert space is extended with additional many-body wave functions needed to represent polarized clusters and shell-model-like configurations. Properties of the bound states are described well, as are the scattering phase shifts. The calculated S factor for the 3He(α,γ)7Be reaction agrees very well with recent experimental data in both absolute normalization and energy dependence. In the case of the 3H(α,γ)7Li reaction the calculated S factor is larger than available experimental data by about 15%.     

Microscopic multichannel investigation of the <Superscript>6</Superscript>Li + <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> seven-nucleon nuclear system at low energies

The ⁶Li + n seven-nucleon nuclear system is studied at low energies within a microscopic approach based on the multichannel algebraic version of the resonating group model. The partial and total cross sections for the ⁶Li(n, t)⁴He reaction are calculated. The contributions of the various partial cross sections to the energy dependence of the total cross section are considered. The results of the calculations are found to be in a good agreement with experimental data.     

Reliability of Neutron Yield Cross Sections on 12 C– 127 I Isotopes in Proton-Induced Reactions Evaluated Using GEANT4 Package for Proton Therapy Applications

The work is aimed at studying the reliability of proton-induced neutron yield cross sections on 12C–127I biological tissue isotopes using the GEANT4 Monte Carlo simulation package, which is commonly applied for dosimetry calculations in proton therapy. Because of the lack of experimental results on the neutron yield for most of the isotopes considered, the simulated cross sections are first compared with theoretical data acquired using the TALYS nuclear reaction package, and the partial reaction cross sections calculated in TALYS are in turn analyzed in comparison with available experimental results. The mismatch between theory and experiment allows one to suggest a significant uncertainty in the calculation of the neutron doses associated with the isotopes under consideration.     

Multibody final states of the 6Li + 6Li reaction AT 97 MeV

Absolute coincidence cross sections were measured for the reactions ⁶Li + ⁶Li → 3α, ⁶Li(⁶Li, 2α), and ⁶Li (⁶Li, 2d), where the latter two represent $\text{N-}\text{body}\text{(N ≧ 4)}$ final states. Broad peaks from the ⁶Li (⁶Li, 2α) reaction are well described by a double spectator pole (DSP) model utilizing a Hulthén wave function, whereas near 40 MeV the DSP peaks are much narrower than predicted. A broad peak in the 3α final-state spectrum, attributed to a single-spectator pole (SSP) process, is well described with the same wave function. The SSP is the principal mechanism for the 3α reaction, in contrast to data near 40 MeV which show that sequential decay from ⁸Be levels is dominant.     

Deuteron exchange mechanism for the6Li(n, α) reaction at low energies

It is proposed that the major part of the low energy (l/v)⁶Li(n, α)³H cross section may be explained as being due to a direct deuteron exchange mechanism. This proposal is in agreement with recent experimental data on the spin-dependent⁶Li(n, α) cross section; it may be used to extract information on the⁶Li-αd vertex constant. The importance of the assumption of ad-exchange process for the⁶Li(n, α) angular distribution is discussed in the framework ofS-matrix theory.
