核微孔膜的制备及其研制设想

前言人们很早就在天然云母上发现了记录放射性矿物中裂变碎片和宇宙射线中高能带电粒子的径迹。不同能量和种类的带电粒子和裂变碎片打在云母、玻璃和有机聚合物等绝缘材料上,只要“离子”或“碎片”的能量大于这种绝缘材料的记录阈,它都能产生一个可记录的径迹。这种径迹通过不同的化学蚀刻条件就可以形成可观察的核径迹,它为研究重离子核物理提供测量反应出射道的带电粒子、裂变碎片的能量、质量和产额方面的信息。这就是50年代发展起来的固体核径迹探。     

相对论重离子碰撞中粲偶素产额的横能依赖关系

相对论性核碰撞中Φ介子产生和弦碎裂函数

用强子和弦级联模型LUCIAE系统研究从AGS到SPS,到RHIC,再到LHC能量核–核碰撞中Φ介子产生.采用与能量有关弦碎裂函数,并通过与荷电粒子多重数实验数据的比较确定其中的参数后,LUCIAE模型给出的Φ介子产额与实验数据也都相近,得到的事件平均弦碎裂变量随能量之增趋饱和规律,可能是核穿透性能量行为的定性表示.     

核裂变研究中的几个新发现

本文评述了核裂变研究中的几个新发现。它们是:①偶-偶核质量对称裂变不只是把核劈裂成两个相等部分,而且裂片是不同变形的,②与冷紧凑裂变事件类似,具有最低动能和最大变形的裂变事件在断点也是冷的;③冷裂变在靠鞍点处发生;④冷裂变时在最大裂片动能和质量产额中的结构决定于库仑效应;⑤总动能在对称点处的下降决定于不同的对称裂变位垒。     

离线测量钍快中子裂变反应率方法

钍快中子裂变反应率是钍铀燃料循环中的重要数据.为了测量基于聚变-裂变混合能源堆包层概念设计的钍样品在宏观中子学装置中的钍快中子裂变数据,发展了钍快中子裂变率的离线活化γ测量方法.通过测量232Th裂变碎片85mKr的β衰变产物85Rb发射的151.16 keV特征γ射线,并结合钍裂变产额数据,获得了钍样品装置中232Th裂变反应率的分布.详细介绍了此方法的原理和影响因素,并利用14 MeV的D-T中子源在贫铀球壳中开展了校验实验,实验不确定度为5.3%—5.5%.采用MCNP5程序和ENDF/B-VI及ENDF/B-VII数据库模拟计算的结果与实验结果在实验不确定度内基本符合,这证明该方法能够有效地模拟装置中232Th裂变反应率.     

三分裂中的级联裂变模式

用统计模型分析级联裂变，假设复合核首先分裂为两裂变碎片，其质量分布与实验分布一致，跟踪所有质量上可能的裂变碎片和所有能量上可能的衰变过程，统计裂变碎片再次裂变的几率，证明级联裂变模式基本上与三分裂的实验相符，复合核系统的激发能越高，裂片的质量越大，再裂的几率也就越大．     

n+233U裂变碎片质量分布的唯象模型研究

本模型基于裂变多通道无规颈断裂模型,考虑宏观液滴能、壳效应能以及壳效应与温度的关系,得到参数化的势能表示形式。通过拟合不同测量方法得到的实验数据(经过评价) 获得3 组模型参数。3 组参数计算的碎片质量分布均很好地再现了不同能点的实验数据,除了基于动能法实验数据得到的参数外,其14 MeV的计算结果与实验数据符合较差。研究发现,不同入射中子能量的裂变碎片质量分布有4 个主要交叉点,在叉点之上的产额随入射中子能量增加减少,之下的产额则随入射中子能量上升;内侧(或外侧) 的两个交叉点质量数之和近似等于裂变复合核的质量数;不同裂变系统的重峰左侧的交叉点都保持在132 附近。Present model was based upon Brosa model, where macro energy,shell effect energy and its decreasing with system temperature were considered and parameterized. 3 sets of model parameters were obtained by fitting to 3 groups of evaluated experimental data, respectively, where the groups were classified by measured method: radiochemistry (RA) method, double kinetic energy (KE) method, and both (ALL). All the 3 sets of parameters could well reproduce themeasured mass distributions on different energies, except the KE set on 14 MeV. The result shows the mass distributions mainly had 4 trend turning points, above which the yield decreasing and below which the yield increasing with energy.The sum of the 1st and 4th (or 2nd and 3rd) point positions was equal to the compound nuclei mass approximately. And the 3rd point was kept at ~132 constantly for different fission systems n+233 U, n+235U, n+233Pu.

Fission fragment mass yields of Th to Rf even-even nuclei

Fission properties of the actinide nuclei are deduced from theoretical analysis. We investigate potential energy surfaces and fission barriers and predict the fission fragment mass yields of actinide isotopes. The results are compared with experimental data where available. The calculations were performed in the macroscopic-microscopic approximation with the Lublin-Strasbourg Drop (LSD) for the macroscopic part, and the microscopic energy corrections were evaluated in the Yukawa-folded potential. The Fourier nuclear shape parametrization is used to describe the nuclear shape, including the non-axial degree of freedom. The fission fragment mass yields of the nuclei considered are evaluated within a 3D collective model using the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.     

Study of mass spectra of light-actinide fission isotopes Kr and Xe in the framework of a new statistical approach

Results on light-actinide fission fragments Kr and Xe yields calculated within the framework of a new statistical approach are presented. The proposed statistical method is derived from the equilibrium condition of the ensemble of all possible fission fragments. Using ²³⁷Np isotope as an example, we investigate the influence of excitation energy (nuclear temperature) and nuclear particle emission on the formation of mass fission channels. The results obtained are compared with the experimental data on Kr and Xe isotope yields at the fission of Th, U, Np, and Pu.     

A Bayesian-neural-network prediction for fragment production in proton induced spallation reaction

Fragment production in spallation reactions yields key infrastructure data for various applications. Based on the empirical SPACS parameterizations, a Bayesian-neural-network (BNN) approach is established to predict the fragment cross sections in proton-induced spallation reactions. A systematic investigation has been performed for the measured proton-induced spallation reactions of systems ranging from intermediate to heavy nuclei systems and incident energies ranging from 168 MeV/u to 1500 MeV/u. By learning the residuals between the experimental measurements and SPACS predictions, it is found that the BNN-predicted results are in good agreement with the measured results. The established method is suggested to benefit the related research on nuclear astrophysics, nuclear radioactive beam sources, accelerator driven systems, proton therapy, etc.     

Fission of 232Th, 238U and 235U induced by negative muons

The absolute yields of prompt and delayed fission induced by negative muons in ²³²Th, ²³⁸U and ²³⁵U have been measured. The delayed fission yields are much lower than could be predicted from Γ_n/Γ_f systematics for 15–20 MeV nuclear excitation. The systematics of prompt fission yields are compared with recently obtained photofission data. It is suggested that prompt fission can be used for investigating the channel structure of the fission barrier.     

Isomer and decay studies for the rp process at IGISOL

Low-energy-particle-induced fission is a cost-effective way to produce neutron-rich nuclei for spectroscopic studies. Fission has been utilized at the IGISOL to produce isotopes for decay and nuclear structure studies, collinear laser spectroscopy and precision mass measurements. The ion guide technique is also very suitable for the fission yield measurements, which can be performed very efficiently by using the Penning trap for fission fragment identification and counting. The proton- and neutron-induced fission yield measurements at the IGISOL are reviewed, and the independent isotopic yields of Zn, Ga, Rb, Sr, Cd and In in 25MeV deuterium-induced fission are presented for the first time. Moving to a new location next to the high intensity MCC30/15 light-ion cyclotron will allow also the use of the neutron-induced fission to produce the neutron rich nuclei at the IGISOL in the future.     

基于裂变γ标识技术的瞬发裂变中子谱测量新方法

瞬发裂变中子谱（prompt fission neutron spectrum,PFNS）是用于核实验诊断过程中十分重要的参数数据,传统的测量主锕系核素（U,Pu）PFNS的技术手段是采用裂变室,利用裂变碎片标识裂变中子,通过中子飞行时间技术获得裂变中子谱.目前出现了一种新的用于PFNS测量的技术,其原理是基于如下的物理事实：在一次裂变过程中,释放中子的同时伴随着释放7–8个γ射线光子,而非弹性散射效应产生的γ射线光子只有1–2个.据此,可以通过裂变γ射线的多重性将裂变中子和其他杂散中子甄选出来,达到测量PFNS的目的.本文建立了基于裂变γ标识技术的PFNS测量实验系统.利用该系统对²⁵²Cf中子源的PFNS进行了实验测量,测量结果与传统的裂变碎片标识法及ENDF/B-VⅡ数据库的标准谱进行了比较,对新方法的裂变标识率以及实验不确定度也一并进行了分析.     

A combinatorial analysis of pair breaking in fission

We develop a model for pair-breaking in order to explain the behavior of the even-odd effects displayed both by the fragment yields and the fragments' kinetic energies in low energy nuclear fission. Neutron and proton pair breaking are taken into acount. Two pair-breaking mechanisms are considered. In the first, pairs are broken at the saddle point and the individual members of the broken pairs are assumed to localise independently in the fragments. In the second, pairs are broken at scission and individual members of the broken pairs are assumed to end in different fission fragments. With this simple model all existing experimental data can be explained, including results of cold-fragmentation.     

Emission properties of fission fragments and their isomeric ratios

The properties of neutron emission from fragments formed in the spontaneous fission of ²⁵²Cf and in the thermal-neutron-induced fission of ²³⁵U are analyzed on the basis of the statistical model of nuclear reactions. Upon extracting the mean excitation energies of fission fragments from experimental data on the mean multiplicities of neutrons, the observables of neutron emission can be described over wide ranges of total kinetic energies and masses. The observed values of mean fragment spins are also reproduced. A method for calculating the isomeric ratios of the independent yields of fission fragments that is based on the cascade-evaporation model of excited-nucleus decay is employed to describe experimental data on ²³⁵U fission induced by thermal neutrons and on ²³⁸U fission induced by alpha particles. The effect exerted on the isomeric ratios for fission fragments by two different assumptions on the spin distributions of primary-fragment populations—the assumption of the distribution associated with rotational degrees of freedom and the assumption of the distribution associated with the internal degrees of freedom of fully accelerated fragments—is investigated.
