Effect of nuclear deformation on direct capture reactions

Direct radiative capture processes are well described by a spherical potential model. Since most nuclei are not spherical, and in order for the model to explain direct radiative captures more accurately, the effect of nuclear deformation has been analyzed with q-deformed Woods-Saxon potential in this work. The results imply that nuclear deformation largely affects the direct radiative capture, and it should be taken into account when discussing direct capture reactions.     

能量连续可调LCS光源SINAP-III

X/γ探测器在航天等国家战略需求领域具有非常广泛和重要的应用。 然而, X/γ探测器要在其有效能区进行精确的标定后才能发挥作用。 目前我国缺乏sub MeV～MeV能量连续可调、 单色性好的γ源, 而用于航天的X/γ探测器无法完成精确定标, 从而使航天探测的发展出现瓶颈问题。 提出了升级原有的激光康普顿散射(LCS)原理性实验装置的方案, 建立了一个通过改变激光入射角来连续调节散射光子能量、 准单色、 极化、 sub MeV～MeV LCS光源(SINAP-III), 从而开拓LCS光源在我国航天领域（如用于航天的X/γ探测器能量定标和抗辐射加固评估研究）的崭新应用前景, 并为将来建设一个基础和应用研究相结合的多功能的γ源实验平台打下基础。 The X/γ detectors in the field of national stratagem, such as astronautical technology, have very broad and important application. These detectors, however, will play their role properly only after accurate calibrations in effective energy region. For the shortage of continuously adjustable and quasi monochromatic γ source in China, it is impossible for the detector employed in aerospace to achieve an accurate calibration so that development of such detector has encountered a big obstacle (or a bottleneck). Therefore, we propose to upgrade the original LCS device to an adjustable photon energy by changing incident angle of laser beam, monochromatic, and polarized sub MeV~MeV LCS γ source(SIMAP III) , in order to explore the new applications of LCS γ source in aerospace as well as to establish a platform for a multifunctional of γ source.     

Investigation of proton radioactivity with the effective liquid drop model

Proton radioactivity has been investigated using the effective liquid drop model with varying mass asymmetry shapes and effective inertial coefficients. An effective nuclear radius constant formula replaces the old empirical one in the calculations. The theoretical half-lives are in good agreement with the available experimental data. All the deviations between the calculated logarithmic half-lives and the experimental values are less than 0.8.The root-mean-square(rms) deviation is 0.523. Predictions for the half-lives of proton radioactivity are made for elements across the periodic table. From the theoretical results, there are 11 candidate nuclei for proton radioactivity in the region Z <51. In the region Z >83, no nuclei are suggested as probable candidate nuclei for proton radioactivity within the selected range of half-lives studied.     

Measurement of PV asymmetry in n＋p→d＋γ and γ＋d→n＋p

The measurement of parity-violating （PV） observables in few-nucleon system can shed light on our current understanding of the weak interaction between nucleons.Theoretical models describe the nucleonnucleon weak interaction at low energies use a series of undetermined parameters.Two parity violating measurements have been considered： the capture of polarized slow neutrons on hydrogen （n ＋ p → d ＋ γ） at Los Alamos National Laboratory for first phase and Oka Ridge National Laboratory for second phase and the helicity dependence of the deuteron photodisintegration cross section using circularly polarized photons （γ ＋ d → n ＋ p） at Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics.The goal of both experiments is to constraint the weak meson-nucleon couplings to a precision of 1 ×10^-8 .The introduction of both experiments is presented.     

用光学极限的Glauber模型结合相对论平均场对8Li和8B的半径的研究

We study the reaction cross sections （σR） and root-mean-square （RMS） radii of ^8Li and ^8B, the halo-like nuclei, with stable target ^12C, ^27Al and ^9Be within the standard optical-limit Glauber model, using densities obtained from relativistic mean-field （RMF） formalisms and other types of distributions. It is found that the experimental σR can be reproduced well at high energy. The RMS radius and Ar extracted by RMF- theory and harmonic oscillator distribution are compared. larger than those of SLi. In addition, we analyze in detail the We find that the RMS radius and Ar of SB are relationship between σR and density distribution.     

Big deformation in 17C

Reaction and interaction cross sections of 17C on a carbon target have been re-analyzed using the modified Glauber model. The analysis with a deformed Woods-Saxon density/potential suggests a big deformation structure for 17C. The existence of a tail in the density distribution supports the possibility of it being a one-neutron halo structure. Under a deformed core plus a single-particle assumption, analysis shows a dominant d-wave of the valence neutron in 17C.     

Measurement of electric polarizabilities of light nucleus(nucleons)

The measurement of the electromagnetic polarizabilities have been given extensive attention, which is also a fresh field of the experimental nuclear physics. Now we will use the method - the light nucleus scattered by the heavy nucleus at energies below the Coulomb barrier to precisely and systematically measure the polarizabilities of the light nucleus. We hope we can solve the inconsistency among the results of the ³He polarizabilities and extract the ⁴He polarizabilities by our experiment. It is useful to mention that our experiment now is a supplement to the future experiment on SLEGS.     

Determination of the stellar reaction rate for 12C（α,γ）16O： using a new expression with the reaction mechanism

The astrophysical reaction rate of 12C(α, γ)16O plays a key role in massive star evolution. However, this reaction rate and its uncertainties have not been well determined yet, especially at T9=0.2. The existing results even disagree with each other to a certain extent. In this paper, the E1, E2 and total (E1+E2) 12C(α, γ)16O reaction rates are calculated in the temperature range from T9=0.3 to 2 according to all the available cross section data. A new analytic expression of the 12 C(α, γ)16 O reaction rate is brought forward based on the reaction mechanism. In this expression, each part embodies the underlying physics of the reaction. Unlike previous works, some physical parameters are chosen from experimental results directly, instead of all the parameters obtained from fitting. These parameters in the new expression, with their 3σ fit errors, are obtained from fit to our calculated reaction rate from T9=0.3 to 2. Using the fit results, the analytic expression of 12C(α, γ)16O reaction rate is extrapolated down to T9=0.05 based on the underlying physics. The 12C(α, γ)16 O reaction rate at T9=0.2 is (8.78 ± 1.52) × 1015 cm3s-1mol-1. Some comparisons and discussions about our new 12 C(α, γ)16 O reaction rate are presented, and the contributions of the reaction rate correspond to the different part of reaction mechanism are given. The agreements of the reaction rate below T9=2 between our results and previous works indicate that our results are reliable, and they could be included in the astrophysical reaction rate network. Furthermore, we believe our method to investigate the 12C(α, γ)16O reaction rate is reasonable, and this method can also be employed to study the reaction rate of other astrophysical reactions. Finally, a new constraint of the supernovae production factor of some isotopes are illustrated according to our 12C(α, γ)16O reaction rates.
