Neutron Spectroscopic Factors of ^7Li and Astrophysical ^6Li（n,γ）^7Li Reaction Rates

Angular distributions of the ^7Li（^6Li, ^6Li）^7Li elastic scattering and the ^7Li（^6Li, ^7Lig.s.）^6Li, ^7Li（^6Li, ^7Li0.48）^6Li transfer reactions at Ec.m. = 23.7 MeV are measured with the Q3D magnetic spectrograph. The optical potential of ^6Li ＋ ^7Li is obtained by fitting the elastic scattering differential cross sections. Based on the distorted wave Born approximation （DWBA） analysis, spectroscopic factors of ^7Li =^6Li n are determined to be 0.73 ± 0.05 and 0.90 ± 0.09 for the ground and first exited states in ^7Li, respectively. Using the spectroscopic factors, the cross sections of the ^6 Li（n, γ0,1）^7 Li direct neutron capture reactions and the astrophysical ^6Li（n, γ）^7 Li reaction rates are derived.     

Study of magnetic-rotation in ~(82)Rb by g-factor measurements

Magnetic rotation in ⁸²Rb has been investigated for the first time by g-factor measurement of intra-band states of the magnetic-rotational band built on the 11- state. The g-factors were measured by a TMF-IMPAD method and calculated by a semi-classical model of independent particle angular momentum coupling assumption. The g-factors and deduced shears angles decrease with the increasing of spin along the band, illustrating a step-by-step alignment of the valence protons and neutrons. The rapid alignment of the valence neutrons leads to a decrease of g-factors. The present results vividly reveal the shears mechanism of magnetic rotation.     

Proton alignment in 82Sr investigated by g-factor measurements

The proton alignment in ⁸²Sr has been investigated by the g-factor measurements of the ground state rotational band levels up to spin I=8⁺. The g-factors were measured by a transient-magnetic-field ion implantation perturbed angular distribution method. The obtained g-factors increase with the increasing of spin along the band and clearly show the g_9/2 proton alignment that starts at I=6⁺.     

A capacitance servo control plunger for accurate lifetime measurement

The recoil distance Doppler shift method has been widely used in the study of nuclear structure to determine the level lifetime and absolute transition probabilities.A capacitance servo control plunger based on this method has been successfully developed by the Nuclear Structure Group of the China Institute of Atomic Energy.Three microscopes were employed to check the parallelism and can therefore guarantee a delicate measurement of the distance between the target and the stopper.This new plunger made a successful performance in the test experiment and the measured lifetime of the 2~+→0~+ transition in ~(78)Kr is in agreement with the previous value.     

192Tl高自旋态能级结构研究

通过熔合蒸发反应181Ta（16O,5n）192Tl,在入射束流为97 MeV能量下,布居192Tl的高自旋态,更新了192Tl的能级纲图。共增加8条新能级,尝试性地指定了能级自旋,将负宇称晕带的能级推高到23-?。讨论了192Tl与相邻同位素奇奇核194,196,198Tl负宇称晕带的旋称劈裂与反转现象,发现随着中子数增加,196,198Tl在高自旋处出现了旋称反转,其原因可能是由于中子质子相互作用与科里奥利力相互竞争所致。High spin states of 192Tl were populated by the 181Ta(16O, 5n)192Tl heavy ion fusion evaporation reaction at 97 MeV beam energy. A new level scheme with 8 new levels was constructed and the level spins were tentatively assigned. The negative yrast band was extended up to 23-?. Systematics of signature of inversion were also discussed for the negative yrast band of odd-odd Tl istopes. Signature inversion has been found in 196,198Tl with neutron number increasing in these four Tl isotopes, and it is explained by the competition between the strength of n-p interaction and Coriolis force.     

利用18O(6Li,d)22Ne反应研究22Ne Eα=470 keV共振态的性质

慢速中子俘获过程（s过程）是合成比铁重元素的重要途径之一。22Ne（α,n）25Mg反应是大质量AGB星中s过程主要的中子源,其中的22Ne主要通过14N（α,γ）18F（β+）18O（α,γ）22Ne反应链合成。该反应链中关键反应18O（α,γ）22Ne在天体物理感兴趣能区的截面非常低,其天体反应率主要来自于22Ne α分离阈附近低能共振态的贡献,但目前相关能级的共振参数严重缺失。在HI-13串列加速器的Q3D磁谱仪上,通过测量18O（6Li,d）22Ne反应的角分布,利用DWBA分析确定了22Ne分离阈附近共振能级E_α=470 keV的自旋宇称为0+,为后续计算18O（α,γ）22Ne的天体反应率打下了基础。About a half of the abundances of elements heavier than iron comes from the so-called slowneutron capture process (s-process) in Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars, with the 22Ne(α, n)25Mg reaction as one of the main neutron sources. In the beginning phase of AGB thermal pulse, 22Ne is produced by the 14N(α, γ)18F(β+)18O(α, γ)22Ne reaction sequence, in which the 18O(α, γ)22Ne reaction plays a key role. While the reaction rate of the 18O(α, γ)22Ne is mainly affected by several resonant states lying closely to the α threshold in 22Ne, up to now, the relevant 22Ne parameters are fragmentary in the energy region corresponding to the typical temperatures of s-process. The direct measurement of the 18O(α, γ)22Ne reaction rate is extremely difficult due to the very low cross section. In this work, we investigated the 22Ne resonant states via the 18O(6Li, d)22Ne reaction at the Beijing HI-13 tandem accelerator of China Institute of Atomic Energy. Based on the DWBA analysis, preliminary results showed that the spin-parity of 22Ne E_α=470 keV resonant states was assigned as 0+, which would make contributions to subsequent calculation for the reaction rate of the 18O(α, γ)22Ne.     

Cross-section measurement for the ~(93)Nb(n,2n)~(92g)Nb reaction at the neutron energy of 14.6 MeV by the AMS method

The cross-section for the~(93)Nb(n,2n)~(92g)Nb reaction has been measured at the neutron energy of 14.6 Me V using neutron activation and accelerator mass spectrometry(AMS)determination of the long-lived product nuclide~(92g)Nb.The neutron energy was generated from the D+T neutron source at the China Institute of Atomic Energy(CIAE).The neutron flux was monitored by measuring the activity of~(92m)Nb produced in the competing reaction channel of~(93)Nb(n,2n)~(92m)Nb.At the neutron energy of 14.6 MeV,the~(93)Nb(n,2n)~(92g)Nb reaction cross-section of(736±220)mb was obtained for the first time.     

Measurements of g-Factor of Rotational Band States in 82Sr

The g-factors of the positive parity rotational states up to spin I = 8^＋ for the ground state band in even-even nuclei S2Sr have been measured by a transient-magnetic-field ion implantation perturbed angular distribution method. The experimentally measured 9-factors increase with the increasing spin along the band and show that the g9/2 proton aligns only and the alignment starts from I =6^＋. The measured g-factors also indicate that the nuclei ^82Sr gain their spins by the quasi-proton alignment at higher spin.     

The g-factors and magnetic rotation in 82Rb

The g-factors of the intra-band states 12,13,14,15 in a magnetic-rotational band built on the 11 state in 82 Rb are measured for the first time by using a transient magnetic field-ion implantation perturbed angular distribution (TMF-IMPAD) method.The magnetic-rotational band in 82 Rb is populated by the 60 Ni(27 Al,4pn) 82 Rb reaction,and the time-integral Larmor precessions are measured after recoil implantation into a polarized Fe foil.The calculation of g-factors is also carried out in terms of a semi-classical model of independent particle angular momentum coupling on the basis of the four-quasiparticle configuration π(g 9/2) 2  π(p 3/2,f 5/2)  ν (g 9/2).The measured and calculated g-factors are in good agreement with each other.The g-factors and deduced shear angles decrease with the increase of spin along the band.This clearly illustrates the shear effect of a step-by-step alignment of the valence protons and neutrons in magnetic rotation.The semi-classical calculation also shows that the alignment of the valence neutron angular momentum is faster than that of the valence protons,which results in a decrease of g-factors with increasing spin.The present results provide solid evidence of the shear mechanism of magnetic rotation.     

g-factors measurement of magnetic rotation band in 85Zr

The magnetic-rotational band in ⁸⁵Zr was populated by the fusion-evaporation reaction ⁶⁰Ni(²⁸Si, 2pn)⁸⁵Zr with a 98 MeV Si beam from the HI-13 tandem accelerator at China Institute of Atomic Energy. The g-factors of the high spin states of this magnetic rotation band in ⁸⁵Zr were measured by the TMF-IMPAD method for the first time. The measured g-factors decrease with the increasing of spin. It implies that the valence neutron alignment is more rapid than that of the valence proton, which leads to a decrease of g-factors along the band.
