缺中子Np新核素的α衰变研究

合成远离稳定线的新核素、探索原子核存在的极限是目前核物理研究的重要课题。在中子壳N=126的最丰质子一侧，极端缺中子的超铀核素处于质子滴线和中子壳的交叉位置，合成和研究该核区核素对研究N=126壳结构的演化性质具有重要意义。基于兰州重离子加速器上的充气反冲核谱仪装置(SHANS)，利用36,40Ar+185,187Re熔合蒸发反应，合成了极缺中子的219,220,223,224Np新核素，在中子壳N=126附近首次建立了Np同位素链的$ \alpha$衰变系统性，获得了N=126壳效应在Np同位素链中依然存在的实验证据。依据单质子分离能的系统性分析，确定了Np同位素链中质子滴线的位置，219Np也成为目前已知的最重的质子滴线外核素。此外，基于实验测量的反应截面，并与理论模型的计算结果相比较，讨论了进一步合成该核区其它新核素218,221,222Np的可行性。
