Evaluation of Coulomb Energy Difference for Light Mirror Nuclei Using Slater—Type Orbitals

Behavior of the Coulomb energy difference for light nuclei is explained in terms of the different values of the average Coulomb interaction between two particles.Coulomb energy difference according to shell model of light mirror nuclei in the Coulomb and exchange integrals in the formula can be explained with exponential-type wavefunctions.In this study,using the one-center expansion of exponential-type wavefunctions in terms of Slater-type orbitals with the same center,we derived formula for Coulomb energy difference of light mirror nuclei.     

Stability of tokamak plasmas with internal transport barriers against high n ideal magnetohydrodynamic ballooning mode

A ballooning mode equation for tokamak plasma, with the toroidicity and the Shafranov shift effects included, is derived for a shift circular flux tokamak configuration. Using this equation, the stability of the plasma configuration with an internal transport barrier （ITB） against the high n （the toroidal mode number） ideal magnetohydrodynamic （MHD） ballooning mode is analysed. It is shown that both the toroidicity and the Shaftanov shift effects are stabilizing. In the ITB region, these effects give rise to a low shear stable channel between the first and the second stability regions. Out of the ITB region towards the plasma edge, the stabilizing effect of the Shaftanov shift causes the unstable zone to be significantly narrowed.     

我国物质结构研究的大型实验平台(续)——非加速器粒子物理实验设施

在粒子加速器问世以前,科学家就利用天然放射性和宇宙红进行核物理的研究。1919年卢瑟福用放射性物质产生的α射红轰击原子核,首次实现了人工核反应。天然放射性粒子来之不难,但能量较低、强度很弱;宇宙红能量最高可达1022eV,却是"靠天吃饭",难以开展精确的实验。粒子加速器在20世纪30年代初发明后,很快成为核物理和粒子物理研究的主角。然而,随着粒子物理向高能量前沿的推进,加速器的规模成越来越大,位于瑞士和法国边境质心系1
