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.     

用长气体靶研究22Na+α共振散射

在日本东京大学CRIB 次级束装置上,用长气体靶开展了22Na+ α共振散射的厚靶实验研究。针对长气体靶实验中的两体运动学重构问题,提出了一套包括构建空间复杂几何关系、计算能量损失以及反应运动学的逐事件分析方法;对22Na+α共振散射的实验数据进行了重构分析,得到了E_c.m. = 4.2 ~ 5.4 MeV 区间22Na( α,α ) 的激发函数,从实验的激发函数中观测到了复合核26Al 5 个较为明显的共振峰。鉴于26Al 共振态的衰变模式比较复杂,本工作发现的26Al新共振态的能级性质有待进一步的理论分析。The 22Na+α resonant scattering is studied via a conventional thick target inverse kinematic method with an extended gas target. A data analysis method is proposed for the two-body reaction kinematic reconstruction, in which the spatial geometry, the reaction kinematics and the energy losses are considered. The experimental data of 22Na+ αresonant scattering have been thus reconstructed, and the excitation function is obtained in the energy interval of Ec.m. =4.2~5.4 MeV. Five resonant states in 26Al are observed in the experimental excitation function. Since several decay modes coexist for the observed 26Al resonant states, multi-channel theoretical analysis is thus needed to reveal their structure and decay features.

长寿命放射性核素26Al是星际介质、$\gamma$射线天文学和太阳系形成研究中最重要的核素之一。最可能合成26Al的三种天体场所都与25Mg(${\rm p},\,{\rm{\gamma }}$)26Al反应相关，因此精确测量其近阈能级的共振强度和天体物理反应率对人们认识宇宙26Al的来源具有重要意义。本文回顾了25Mg(${\rm p},\,{\rm{\gamma }}$)26Al反应的实验研究方法和最新研究进展，特别是介绍了我国对该反应的间接测量实验以及直接实验测量计划。当前的间接测量结果提升了25Mg(${\rm p},\,{\rm{\gamma }}$)26Al天体物理反应率的精度，也可以帮助我们估算直接测量的产额，并优化深地直接测量的实验设计。高能点的直接测量结果与国际上其它实验结果在误差范围内符合很好，表明本项目研制的探测装置工作状态良好，能够胜任锦屏深地核天体物理实验研究。     

利用强流ISOL束研究20Na的奇异衰变模式(英文)

北京放射性离子束装置（Beijing Radioactive Ion-beam Facility,BRIF）是基于在线同位素分离器技术的国家大科学平台。在BRIF装置上利用100 MeV的质子束轰击较厚的反应靶产生放射性核素;反应产物经离子源电离和在线分离,在线同位素分离段可引出100~300 keV的放射性核束,质量分辨率达20 000。在基金委科学仪器基础研究专项的支持下,建成了多用途的衰变实验终端,包括束流传输管道、通用靶室、带电粒子和γ探测器、集成电子学和数据获取系统等。利用100 MeV的质子束轰击MgO厚靶产生了流强高达1×105 pps的20Na放射性核束。通过高效率地同时测量β,γ和α,第一次直接观测到20Na非常稀有的β-γ-α衰变模式。Beijing Radioactive Ion-beam Facility(BRIF) has been commissioned as the national Radioactive Ion Beam(RIB) facility based on the Isotope Separator On Line(ISOL) technique since 2016. At BRIF, the radioactive nuclides are produced by the proton beam of 100 MeV bombarding a thick-target, the reaction products diffusing out of the target are ionized by an ion source and delivered to the online mass separator. In addition to the post-accelerated radioactive ion beams, BRIF can provide low-energy ISOL beams of 100 to 300 keV with a mass resolution of 20 000. A general-purpose decay station has been built including the ISOL beam transport line, a conventional reaction chamber, charge-particle and γ detectors with integrated electronics and data acquisition system. An intense 20Na ISOL beam up to 1×105 pps was produced by using the 100 MeV proton beam bombarding a MgO thick target. With high-efficiency measurements of β, γ and α simultaneously, very rare β-γ-α decay mode in 20Na has been directly observed for the first time in the present work.

Measurement of ^2H（^8Li, ^9Be）n Reaction Relevant to Primordial Nucleosynthesis

The angular distribution of the ^2H（^8Li, ^9Be）n （ground state） reaction, important to primordial nucleosynthesis in the inhomogeneous model, has been measured at E = 8.1 MeV using a secondary ^8Li beam. Cross section of this reaction was determined to be 9.0 4±3.4 mb. According to the cross section, the astrophysical S-factor was calculated to be 272 4±103 keV b. It is shown that ^2H（8^Li, ^9Be）n （ground state） reaction is important for creating 9Be, but less important for destroying aLl in primordial nucleosynthesis.

In addition, we deduce the astrophysical S-factors and rates of the ^8Li（p, γ）^9Beg.s. direct capture reaction at energies of astrophysical interests.

New determination of the ~7Be ground state spectroscopic factor and the ~6Li(p,γ)~7Be astrophysical S(E) factors

The 'lithium problem, in Big Bang nucleosynthesis(BBN) has recently focused on reactions involving ~7 Be.The ~6 Li(p,γ)~7 Be reaction can provide us not only with information about ~6 Li destruction but also with information about ~7 Be production. In the present work, the proton spectroscopic factor in ~7 Be is extracted to be 0.70 ± 0.17 from the angular distribution of ~7 Be(d, ~3 He)~6 Li at E_(c.m.) = 6.7 MeV. This value is then used to compute the direct component of the astrophysical ~6 Li(p,γ)~7 Be_(g.s.) S(E) factors and determine the resonance parameters from the total S(E) factors.     

Excited States in ^18Ne Studied via ^17F＋p

The elastic resonance scattering of ^17F＋p is studied in inverse kinematics via a thick-target method. The excitation function for ^17F＋p elastic scattering is obtained within the energy interval of Ec.m ≈ 0.4-1.7 MeV. The experimental excitation function is analyzed with a multilevel R-matrix code MULTI7, and the proton widths are deduced. The α decay from 6.15 MeV 1- state in 18Ne is observed, which is critical to the 14O（α, p）17F reaction as the main breakout route from CNO cycle to rp-process in supernovae and x-ray bursts.
