一种改进型源倍增法的模拟研究与验证

针对源倍增法测量次临界度受到基波份额变化以及通量畸变影响的问题，有文献提出使用环形“集总”探测器布置和“刻度曲线”来改善其测量结果的方法。为了验证该方法的实用性，用超级蒙特卡罗核模拟软件系统SuperMC与混合评价数据库HENDL，以日本京都大学KUCA铅基实验装置为对象, 展开了模拟研究。研究结果表明:该改进方法在KUCA实验装置上是适用的，说明此改进方法具有较好的工程应用潜力。模拟结果表明，使用KUCA装置中现有的六个裂变室进行“集总”探测可以给出相对准确的“测量”次临界度，但为了使测量结果更加准确，在未来实验中，可以在堆芯外围布置更多对称的探测器进行“集总”探测。     

关键天体反应18Ne(α, p)21Na的实验研究

在X 射线暴高温高密度的环境中,18Ne( α, p)21Na 很可能是由热CNO 循环突破到rp 过程的一个重要反应。到目前为止,人们测得的反应率还存在很大的不确定性。实验中用CRIB(CNS RadioactiveIon Beam separator) 提供的21Na 放射性束轰击8.8 mg/cm2 的聚乙烯厚靶,利用放置在θlab = 14°,0°,14° 处的3 套硅条探测器望远镜阵列对反冲轻粒子进行鉴别和测量,测得在一段能区(Ex = 5:5  9:2MeV) 内21Na(p, p)21Na 的激发函数。通过对21Na(p, p) 共振弹性散射截面进行R矩阵拟合,得到了22Mg共振能级的自旋宇称以及质子宽度等信息,从而为计算18Ne( α,, p)21Na 反应率提供了实验参数。The 18Ne(α ,p)21Na reaction is thought to be one of the key breakout reaction from the hot CNO cycle to the rp-process in X-ray bursts. Over stellartemperatures achieved in XRBs, this rate has not been sufficiently determined.The experiment was performed using CRIB (CNS Radioactive Ion Beam separator) at the Center for Nuclear Study (CNS) of the University of Tokyo. An 89 MeV 21Na radioactive ion beam was produced and bombarded an 8.8 mg/cm2 thick polyethylene target. The recoiled light particles were detected with three Micron silicon ΔE-E telescopes centered at angles of θlab = 0°; +14° and 14°with respect to the beam direction, respectively. The 21Na+p elastic-scattering excitation functions were reconstructed with a thick-target method over energies Ex = 5:5  9:2 MeV. The resonance parameters have been determined through an R-matrix analysis,which will be used to evaluate the 18Ne( α, p)21Na reaction rate.     

Measurement of the ~2H(~7Be,~6Li)~3He reaction rate and its contribution to the primordial lithium abundance

In the standard Big Bang nucleosynthesis(SBBN) model, the lithium puzzle has attracted intense interest over the past few decades, but still has not been solved. Conventionally, the approach is to include more reactions flowing into or out of lithium, and study the potential effects of those reactions which were not previously considered.~7Be(d,~3He)~6Li is a reaction that not only produces~6Li but also destroys~7Be, which decays to~7Li, thereby affecting~7Li indirectly. Therefore, this reaction could alleviate the lithium discrepancy if its reaction rate is sufficiently high.However, there is not much information available about the~7Be(d,~3He)~6Li reaction rate. In this work, the angular distributions of the~7Be(d,~3He)~6Li reaction are measured at the center of mass energies Ecm = 4.0 Me V and 6.~7Me V with secondary~7Be beams for the first time. The excitation function of the~7Be(d,~3He)~6Li reaction is first calculated with the computer code TALYS and then normalized to the experimental data, then its reaction rate is deduced. A SBBN network calculation is performed to investigate its influence on the~6Li and~7Li abundances. The results show that the~7Be(d,~3He)~6Li reaction has a minimal effect on~6Li and~7Li because of its small reaction rate. Therefore,the~7Be(d,~3He)~6Li reaction is ruled out by this experiment as a means of alleviating the lithium discrepancy.
