为满足堆内或核爆中链式反应过程的燃耗值的计算需要，对裂变谱中子和14MeV中子诱发238U裂变的短寿命产物核的累积产额进行了评价。评价利用了所有可利用的实验数据， 经物理分析后， 使用AVERAGE程序加权平均， 用ZOTT程序进行同时评价， 给出了所要求能点的唯一最佳推荐数据， 并将评价结果与ENDF/B-VII， JEF-2.2， JENDL-3.2和CENDL-2的推荐数据进行了比较。 评价结果将用于CENDL-2的更新与升级。For reliable and consistent nuclear calculation, the cumulative yields for short lived fission products are evaluated based on the available experimental data for 238U fission induced by fission spectrum neutrons and ~14 MeV neutrons. The data are processed using codes AVERAGE for weighed average and ZOOT for simultaneous evaluation. The evaluated data are compared with those in the major international nuclear data libraries, including ENDF/B-VII, JEF-2.2, JENDL-3.2 and CENDL-2. The present evaluation will be used to improve and update the CENDL-2 library.     

Multi-modal calculations of prompt fission neutrons from 238U（n,f） at low induced energy

Properties of prompt fission neutrons from ²³⁸U(n, f) are calculated for incident neutron energies below 6 MeV using the multi-modal model, including the prompt fission neutron spectrum, the average prompt fission neutron multiplicity, and the prompt fission neutron multiplicity as a function of the fission fragment mass υ(A) (usually named “sawtooth” data) The three most dominant fission modes are taken into account. The model parameters are determined on the basis of experimental fission fragment data. The predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental data.     

Multi-modal analysis for low energy neutron-induced fission of ~(235)U

Low energy neutron induced fission of ~(235)U is studied in the framework of the multi-modal fission model. The fission fragment properties, such as the yields, the average total kinetic energy distribution and the average neutron separation energy, are investigated for incident neutron energies from thermal to 6.0 MeV. The multi-modal fission approach is also used to evaluate the prompt fission neutron multiplicity and spectra for the neutron-induced fission of ~(235)U with an improved version of the Los Alamos model for incident neutrons below the (n, nf) threshold. The three most dominant fission modes are taken into account. The model parameters are determined on the basis of experimental data. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data.     

Calculation of prompt fission neutron spectrum for 233U（n,f）reaction by the semi-empirical method~

The prompt fission neutron spectra for the neutron-induced fission of ²³³U for low energy neutrons (below 6 MeV) are calculated using nuclear evaporation theory with a semi-empirical method, in which the partition of the total excitation energy between the fission fragments for the n_th+²³³U fission reactions is determined by the available experimental and evaluation data. The calculated prompt fission neutron spectra agree well with the experimental data. The proportions of high-energy neutrons of prompt fission neutron spectrum versus incident neutron energies are investigated with the theoretical spectra, and the results are consistent with the systematics. The semi-empirical method could be a useful tool for the prompt evaluation of fission neutron spectra.     

Analysis of prompt fission neutron spectrum and multiplicity for 237Np（n,f） in the frame of multi-modal Los Alamos model

The improved version of Los Alamos model with the multi-modal fission approach is used to analyse the prompt fission neutron spectrum and multiplicity for the neutron-induced fission of 237Np. The spectra of neutrons emitted from fragments for the three most dominant fission modes (standard Ⅰ, standard Ⅱ and superlong) are calculated separately and the total spectrum is synthesized. The multi-modal parameters contained in the spectrum model are determined on the basis of experimental data of fission fragment mass distributions. The calculated total prompt fission neutron spectrum and multiplicity are better agreement with the experimental data than those obtained from the conventional treatment of the Los Alamos model.

用活化法以^27Al(n,α)^24Na反应截面为中子注量标准，对14MeV能区中子引起的^93Nb(n,2n)^92mNb反应截面进行了测量。中子能量由硅探测器法测定。     

替代反应法测量锕系核(n,f)和(n,xn)截面

对于某些中子反应截面,在直接测量上存在困难。为了获得那些对核能发展极其重要的核数据,人们提出替代反应法,即利用带电粒子代替中子进行反应,从而实现中子反应截面间接测量的方法。现有替代反应一般采用非弹激发、转移等周边反应,涉及的角动量远比中子反应的大,需要理论修正,这造成了一定的困难。有鉴于此,提出利用轻带电离子的俘获反应作为替代反应,其复合核自旋与中子反应的相当,有效避免了自旋修正的困难。根据这个思路,采用236U的（α,f）和（α,2n）反应作为替代反应,成功提取了239Pu的（n,f）和（n,2n）反应截面,与ENDFB7评价库数据在误差范围内符合较好,表明了替代反应法的优越性,可以在核数据测量中推广应用。There are always difficulties in the direct measurement of reactions induced by neutron, in order to obtain the neutron induced nuclear reaction data which are extremely important for nuclear power development, the surrogate reaction method, which uses charged particles instead of neutron, was proposed. The existing surrogate reaction method generally chooses peripheral reaction as the surrogate reaction, such as inelastic scattering excitation or transfer reaction. As a result, the angular momentum involved is always far larger than the neutron induced reaction, which causes difficulties in the theoretical calculation. Because of this, we proposed to use light-ion capture reaction as the surrogate reaction, the compound nuclei spin is similar with that of the neutron induced reaction, so that the difficulties in spin correction can be effectively avoided. Based on this idea, the 239Pu(n, f) and (n, 2n) reaction cross sections were successfully extracted using 236U(α,f) and (α,2n) reactions as the surrogate reaction. The results coincide well with the data of ENDFB7 within the error range, which shows that the surrogate reaction method has its own superiority, and it can be applied in the measurement of nuclear data.     

Research on the prompt neutron multiplicity of fission fragments for 235U(n,f)

According to some experimental and evaluated data, the total excitation energy partitioning way between both of the fission fragments was given with a semi-empirical method. With the calculated energy partitioning way, the prompt neutron multiplicity as a function of fragment mass, (-v)(A), for neutron-induced fission of 235U at En=0.0253 eV, 3 MeV, and 5 MeV was calculated. The results are checked with the total average prompt neutron multiplicities (-v) and compared with the experimental and evaluated data.     

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.     

Prompt neutron emission spectra and multiplicities in the thermal neutron induced fission of235U

The emission spectra of prompt fission neutrons from mass and kinetic energy selected fission fragments have been measured in²³⁵U(n _th,f). Neutron energies were determined from the measurement of the neutron time of flight using a NE213 scintillation detector. The fragment energies were measured by a pair of surface barrier detectors in one set of measurements and by a back-to-back gridded ionization chamber in the second set of measurements. The data were analysed event by event to deduce neutron energy in the rest frame of the emitting fragment for the determination of neutron emission spectra and multiplicities as a function of the fragment mass and total kinetic energy. The results are compared with statistical model calculations using shell and excitation energy dependent level density formulations to deduce the level density parameters of the neutron rich fragment nuclei over a large range of fragment masses.     

Transition from SU(2)L × SU(2)R × U(1)B-L representation to SU(2)L × U(1)Y by q-deformation and the corresponding classical breaking term of chiral U(2)

The minimal Standard Model exhibits a nontrivial chiral U(2) symmetry if the VEV and the hypercharge splitting Δ = (y-y)/2 of right-handed leptons (quarks) in a family vanish and Q = T₀ + Y independently in each helicity sector. As a generalization, we start with SU(2)_L × SU(2)_R × U(1)_(B-L) and introduce Δ as a continuous parameter which is a measure of explicit symmetry breakdown. Values 0 ? Δ ? 1/2 take the neutral generator of the isospin ½ representation to the singlet representation, i.e. ‘deformes’ the LR representation into the minimal Standard one. The corresponding classical O(3)-breaking term is a magnetic field perpendicular to the x₃-axis. A simple mapping on the fundamental Drinfeld-Jimbo q-deformed SU(2) representation is given.     

Double differential cross sections of light charged particle production for the n+~(238)U reaction

Production of light complex particles from the n+~(238) U reaction is analyzed with the exciton model including the improved Iwamoto-Harada pickup mechanism for the preequilibrium process. It is allowed that some of the nucleons forming the complex ejectile come from levels below the Fermi energy, and the intrinsic structure of the emitted particle is taken into account. The equilibrium-state emissions are also considered by using HauserFeshbach theory with the width fluctuation correction and the evaporation model. Moreover, all cross sections,angular distributions, energy spectra and double differential cross sections of neutron, proton, deuteron, triton and alpha emissions for the n+~(238) U reaction are consistently calculated and analyzed with nuclear theoretical models in the energy range En 150 MeV. ENDF-formatted nuclear data including information about the production of light charged particles are obtained.

Energy conditions of the f(T,B) gravity dark energy model with the validity of thermodynamics

In this article, the analysis of Tsallis holographic dark energy(which turns into holographic dark energy for a particular choice of positive non-additivity parameter δ) in modified f(T, B) gravity with the validity of thermodynamics and energy conditions for a homogeneous and isotropic FLRW Universe has been studied. The enlightenment of the field equation towards f(T,B)=αT~m+βB~n, made possible by the fact that the model is purely accelerating,corresponds to q=-0.54(Mamon and Das 2017 Eur. Phys.J.C 77 49). The generalized second law of thermodynamics is valid not only for the same temperature inside the horizon, but also for the apparent horizon for a change in temperature. The essential inspiration driving this article is to exhibit the applicability that the holographic dark energy achieved from standard Tsallis holographic dark energy and the components acquired from f(T, B) gravity are identical for the specific bounty of constants. The analysis of energy conditions confirms that the weak energy condition and the null energy condition are fulfilled throughout the expansion, while violation of the strong energy condition validates the accelerated expansion of the Universe.With the expansion, the model becomes a quintessence dominated model. The dominant energy condition is not observed initially when the model is filled with genuine baryonic matter,whereas it appears when the model is in the quintessence dominated era.     

Complete determination of the transition amplitudes from a comprehensive data analysis of the fusion reactions D(d,p)3H and D(d,n)3He for Ed<500 keV

All relevant low-energy transition amplitudes for the D(d,n)³He and D(d,p)³H reactions were determined from a fit to Legendre expansion coefficients of the available experimental data. A simple barrier penetrability model was used. Quintet S-wave transitions are found to contribute strongly thus obliterating the idea of neutron-lean “polarized” fusion energy production. The D+D interaction radius was determined with good accuracy for both reactions individually. The astrophysical S functions show a small S-wave enhancement and P-wave suppression of the D(d,p)³H branch.     

Cross-sections for the formation of isomeric pair Ge through (n, 2n), (n, p) and (n, α) reactions measured over 13.73 MeV to 14.77 MeV and calculated from near threshold to 20 MeV neutron energies

The cross-sections for formation of isomeric pair, ⁷⁵Ge^m(σ_m) and ⁷⁵Ge^g(σ_g), through ⁷⁶Ge(n, 2n), ⁷⁵As(n, p) and ⁷⁸Se(n, α) reactions were measured at 13.73 MeV, 14.42 MeV and 14.77 MeV neutrons and also estimated using EMPIRE-II and TALYS codes over neutron energies from near threshold to 20 MeV. For each (n, 2n), (n, p) and (n, α) reaction, the cross-section initially increases with neutron energy, but starts decreasing as the neutron energy exceeds the respective threshold of (n, 3n), (n, pn) and (n, αn) reactions. The higher values of σ_m relative to σ_g reveal that the transitions of the excited ⁷⁵Ge from higher energy levels to metastable state (7⁺/2) are favored as compared to unstable ground state (1⁻/2). The present values of cross sections for formation of ⁷⁵Ge^m,g through (n, 2n) and (n, α) reactions are lower, and that of (n, p) reaction are higher compared to most of the corresponding literature cross-sections.     

Role of (<Emphasis Type="Italic">n,xn</Emphasis>) reactions in ADS,IAEA-benchmark and the Dubna Cascade Code

Dubna Cascade Code (version-2004) has been used for the Monte Carlo simulation of the 1500 MW_t accelerator driven sub-critical system (ADS) with ²³³U + ²³²Th fuel using the IAEA benchmark. Neutron spectrum, cross-section of (n, xn) reactions, isotopic yield, heat spectra etc. are simulated. Many of these results that help in understanding the IAEA benchmark are presented. It is revealed that the code predicts the proton beam current required for the 1500 MW_t ADS for K _eff = 0.98 to be 11.6 mA. Radial distribution of heat is fairly in agreement with other codes like the EA-MC and it needs nearly 1% less enrichment than given by other codes. This may be because the code takes care of the role of larger order of the (n, xn) reactions. It is emphasized that there is a strong need to study (n, xn) reactions both theoretically and experimentally for better design. This talk is dedicated to the fond memory of late Professor V S Barashenkov, JINR, Dubna     

Energy Distribution for a Power Model of the Plane Symmetric Spacetime in f(R) Gravity

The study of the energy localization in f(R) theories of gravity has attracted much interest in recent years. In this paper, the vacuum solutions of the modified field equations for a power model of plane symmetric metric are studied in metric f(R) gravity with the assumption of constant Ricci scalar. Next, we determine the energy-momentum complexes in f(R) theories of gravity for this spacetime for some important models. We also show that these models satisfy the stability and constant curvature conditions.
