The photoproton reaction of 25Mg

The proton yields from the ²⁵Mg(e, p) reaction have been measured for E_p > 3 MeV, at θ = 90°, using an enriched ²⁵Mg sample in the electron energy range 15–28 MeV. Partial photoproton cross sections to the ground and excited states in ²⁴Na have been deduced and a lower limit is placed on the ²⁵Mg(γ, np) cross section. The derived photoproton cross section combined with existing photoneutron data allows the ²⁵Mg absorption cross section to be estimated. Configuration splitting of the ²⁵Mg GDR is confirmed, and the effects of isospin splitting are considered.     

27,28P+28Si总反应截面增强及可能相关的机制

测量了27,28P和相应同中子异位素在28Si靶上的中能反应截面.测得N=12和13同中子异位素的反应截面在Z=15处突然增大.对Z≤14同中子异位素和28P的实验数据结果可以用改进的光学极限近似的Glauber理论很好地描述.28P的反应截面能够用扩大核芯以改进的Glauber理论来解释.但是,用改进光学极限和少体近似的Glauber理论却低估了27P的实验数据.理论分析表明,扩大的核芯加质子晕可能是响应27P+28Si反应截面增强的机制. The reaction cross sections of~(27,28)P and the corresponding isotones on Si target were measured at intermediate energies. The measured reaction cross sections of the N=12 and 13 isotones show an abrupt increase at Z=15. The experimental results for the isotones with Z≤14 and~(28)P can be described well by the modified Glauber theory of the optical limit approach. The enhancement of the reaction cross section for~(28)P could be explained by the modified Glauber theory with an enlarged core. Theoretical ana...     

Production of light nuclei in the reactions of protons with separated tin isotopes

The cross sections for the production of ⁷Be, ²²Na, ²⁴Na, ²⁸Mg, ³⁸S, ³⁸Cl, and ³⁹Cl nuclei from ¹¹²Sn, ¹¹⁸Sn, ¹²⁰Sn, and ¹²⁴Sn targets irradiated with 0.6-, 1.0-, and 8.1-GeV protons were measured by the method of induced activity. In analyzing resulting data, it was established that the above nuclei are produced in the fragmentation process and that the reaction cross section is a power-law function of the mass and charge numbers of fragmentation products. A strong dependence of the reaction cross section on the nucleonic composition of the targets and of the products is observed. The measured cross sections, together with data available in the literature, are discussed within various assumptions.     

Optical-model analysis of the elastic scattering of 100 MeV protons from Mg and Si

Elastic scattering differential cross sections for the interaction of 100 MeV protons with ²⁴Mg and ²⁸Si have been measured using a high-resolution Ge(Li) spectrometer to resolve the inelastic scattering contribution to the elastic peak. The results have been analysed using the conventional optical model, and the experimental differential cross sections and total reaction cross section are excellently reproduced. The results agree with previous analyses of the elastic scattering of 100 MeV protons on 1p shell nuclei in that no set of geometric parameters can provide a quantitative fit to both nuclei. It is observed, however, that the fluctuations of the optical-model parameters for optimum fits are decreased over the fluctuations observed for the 1p shell nuclei. The present results combined with previous optical-model analyses on ²⁴Mg and ²⁸Si at 50 MeV and 40 MeV respectively, are found to be consistent with an energy dependence of dV/dE ≈ −0.3 for the depth of the real central potential in agreement with other, more extensive, investigations of the energy dependence for protons elastically scattered from ¹⁶O and ⁴⁰Ca.     

Total reaction and fusion cross sections at sub- and near-barrier energies for the system 7Li + 28Si

Fusion cross sections are extracted for the ⁷Li$ + $²⁸Si system, via reaction cross section and transfer measurements at sub- and near-barrier energies ( E _lab = 5.7 to 14MeV). The energy evolution of transfer to reaction cross section ratios is determined with the aid of CDCC calculations, which subsequently allows the deduction of fusion cross sections at sub- and near-barrier energies. It is shown that fusion can be well represented in a BPM context. Fusion cross sections are compared for the systems ⁷Li$ + $²⁸Si and ⁶Li$ + $²⁸Si, the latter studied previously, and are found to exhibit different strengths. Last, the direct channels determined at 13MeV, are found to be dominated by a 2n -transfer mechanism.     

14MeV中子引起的核反应截面测量中监督反应的研究

讨论了14MeV中子引起的核反应截面测量中监督反应对测量结果的影响,同时列出了常用的一些监督反应及参数,利用截面的评价值给出了一些监督反应的截面随中子能量变化的关系曲线,并对^27Al（n,p）^27Mg反应做了定性分析,说明了监督反应的选取对反应截面测量的重要性。 It was discussed in this article that the effects of different monitors in the cross section measurements of nuclear reactions induced by 14 MeV neutrons, at the same time some monitors and correlative parameters were listed. The excitation functions of monitors are taken from the evaluatied cross sections, and a qualitative analysis has been performed for ^27Al（n,p） ^27Mg reaction. It indicates that the choice of monitor is very important for cross section measurements     

Investigation of backward α-particle scattering in 24Mg and 28Si through α-γ angular correlations

Alpha-gamma angular correlations have been measured for the reaction ²⁴Mg(α, α'γ) in the energy range 15.50 to 17.00 MeV in steps of 300 keV and for ²⁸Si(α, α'γ) from 15.00 to 16.20 MeV in steps of 200 keV to provide energy averaged results. The scattered α-particles were detected for lab angles θ_α = 115°–178° in a multidetector arrangement. The coincident γ-rays were observed with a Ge(Li) detector placed at 90° in the reaction plane. Data were obtained for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd excited states of ²⁴Mg and for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th excited states of ²⁸Si. The absolute doubledifferential cross sections were analysed with Hauser-Feshbach calculations. The analyses show that compound nuclear processes are responsible for the rise of backward α-scattering in ²⁴Mg(α, α'γ)²⁴Mg and ²⁸Si(α, α'γ)²⁸Si at the energy studied.     

Optical model and DWBA analysis of the α-particle scattering for the nuclei26Mg and28,30Si including Hauser-Feshbach contributions

The elastic and inelastic α-scattering cross section has been measured for the nuclei²⁶Mg,^28,30Si at 15 bombarding energies between 15.0 and 16.4 MeV. The energy averaged scattering cross sections can be described by an incoherent sum of contributions from direct and compound reactions. The direct reaction part has been calculated by the optical model or DWBA, the compound reaction part by a simple Hauser-Feshbach formula. From the analyses deformation parameters and spin cut-off parameters are obtained.     

Test of new shell model wave functions by means of 166 MeV alpha particle inelastic scattering

The nuclear wave functions for the first 2⁺ levels of ²⁴Mg, ²⁸Si and ⁵⁸Ni obtained by diagonalizing an effective Hamiltonian in a large shell model basis are used to calculate 166 MeV α-particle inelastic scattering cross sections. The results are compared with experimental measurements. Good agreement is found for ²⁴Mg and ²⁸Si but the model wave function seems to be inadequate for describing ⁵⁸Ni.     

Analyses of anomalous large angle inelastic alpha particle scattering

Inelastic alpha particle scatterings to selected states in²⁴Mg,²⁸Si and⁴⁰Ca are analysed. The transitions, all of which display anomalous structure in their differential cross sections at large scattering angles, are weakly, if at all, promoted by normal first order inelastic scattering reaction processes. To explain the anomalous structure, we utilize a two step reaction model in which the intermediate states are quasi-molecular. The energy variation of large angle scattering data shows that the quasi molecular intermediate states form a rotational band identical to that required to explain anomalous structure in the angular distributions of elastically scattered alpha particles.     

Formation of 24Mg* in the spallation of 28Si nuclei by 1-GeV protons

The ²⁸Si(p, p′γ₀ X)²⁴Mg reaction has been studied at the ITEP accelerator by the hadron-gamma coincidence method for a proton energy of 1 GeV. Two reaction products are detected: a 1368.6-keV γ-ray photon accompanying the transition of the ²⁴Mg* nucleus from the first excited state to the ground state and a proton p′ whose momentum is measured in a magnetic spectrometer. The measured distribution in the energy lost by the proton in interaction is attributed to five processes: the direct knockout of a nuclear α cluster, the knockout of four nucleons with a total charge number of 2, the formation of the _ΔSi isobaric nucleus, the formation of the Δ isobar in the interaction of the incident proton with a nuclear nucleon, and the production of a π meson, which is at rest in the nuclear reference frame. The last process likely corresponds to the reaction of the formation of a deeply bound pion state in the ²⁸P nucleus. Such states were previously observed only on heavy nuclei. The cross sections for the listed processes have been estimated.     

Energy dependence of optical-model parameters for the interaction of 6Li and 7Li Ions with 28Si nuclei at low energies

The results of a joint analysis of experimental data (angular distributions for scattering and total reaction cross sections) are presented for the case of the interaction of ^6,7Li ions with ²⁸Si nuclei at energies between 7.5 and 32 MeV. The respective calculations were performed on the basis of a deformed potential of the optical model by using the SPI-GENOA code. The energy dependences of the parameters of the macroscopic optical model and the total cross section for the (^6,7Li+²⁸Si) reactions were obtained over the energy interval from 7.5 to 32 MeV. The calculated angular distributions and total reaction cross sections are in good agreement with experimental data.     

Proton reaction cross sections as measures of the spatial distibutions of neutrons in exotic nuclei

Proton and neutron densities from Skyrme-Hartree-Fock calculations of a number of nuclei with masses ranging from 28 to 58 have been used to generate optical potentials for proton elastic scattering. Those potentials, generated by folding the structure functions with effective in-medium nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions, have been used to evaluate proton total reaction cross sections; cross sections that reveal signatures of the structures.     

Semimicroscopic description of the gross structure of a giant dipole resonance in light nonmagic nuclei

A simple model is formulated that makes it possible to describe the configuration and deformation splittings of a giant dipole resonance in light nonmagic nuclei. The gross structure of the cross sections for photoabsorption on ¹²C, ²⁴Mg, and ²⁸Si nuclei is described on the basis of this model.     

Spectroscopy of 36Mg: interplay of normal and intruder configurations at the neutron-rich boundary of the "island of inversion"

We report on the first spectroscopy study of the very neutron-rich nucleus (36)(12)Mg24 using the direct two-proton knockout reaction 9Be(38Si,36Mg+gamma)X at 83 MeV/nucleon. The energy of the first excited 2+ state of 36Mg, E(2+(1)=660(6) keV, was measured. The magnitude of the partial cross sections to the ground state and the 2+(1) state is indicative of strong intruder admixtures in the lowest-lying states as suggested by Monte Carlo shell-model calculations.     

The 24Mg(α, α')24Mg reaction; statistical analysis

The ²⁴Mg(α, α')²⁴Mg reaction to the 1.37 MeV state has been studied over an α-energy range of 9.625–13.825 MeV, in ≈40 keV steps, and over a 25°–160° angular interval. These cross sections have been analysed in terms of statistical theory and a number of deviations from its predictions are found. These deviations point to the importance of non-statistical processes, such as intermediate structure, to the α-scattering. The average compound nuclear width o₁ 62±7 keV is found for ²⁸Si over the 18–22 MeV excitation.     

Non-Reproducibility of the Cross Sections of the Products Induced from Dissipative Reaction of 17F+27Al

The differential cross sections of the dissipative products B, C, N, O, F, Ne, Na and Mg induced from the reactions of ¹⁹F+²⁷Al at two incident energies have been measured at the HI-13 tandem accelerator, Beijing. In the case of a fixed beam incident energy 114MeV or 118.75MeV respectively, identical reaction system and the same detection system, 20 target points in steps of 2mm on a 10mm×50mm rectangular Al foil have been bombarded. The experimental results indicate that the probability distribution of the cross sections is much wider than a standard Gaussian distribution. This non-reproducibility of the cross sections can't be interpreted by the statistical property of a finite count rate.     

25Mg (α, n)28Si and 26Mg(α, n)29Si as neutron sources in explosive neon burning

The yields of neutrons from the reaction ²⁵Mg(α, n)²⁸Si and of γ-rays from the reaction ²⁵Mg(α, nγ)²⁸Si have been measured as a function of bombarding energy over the range 1.8–6.3 MeV, and the yield of neutrons from ²⁶Mg(α, n)²⁹Si has been measured over the range 1.8–6.0 MeV. Cross sections for ^{25, 26}Mg(α, n)^{28, 29}Si were extracted from the data and compared with global statistical-model calculations. The agreement is very good. Thermonuclear reaction rates under stellar conditions appropriate for explosive neon burning are calculated and their significance for the nucleosynthesis of rare neutron-rich nuclei is discussed.     

丰质子核反应中轻带电粒子发射的同位旋效应

采用同位旋相关的Boltzmann—Langevin方程计算了核素^12-15N和^17-20Ne反应中轻带电粒子发射的同位旋效应。^12-15N与^28Si靶的反应结果显示轻带电粒子的产生截面有明显的同位旋效应,^12N的轻带电粒子产生截面突然增大,与实验得出的结论相同,由此检验了所采用的计算方法的可行性。同时还计算了^17-20Ne与^9Be靶的反应,发现^17Ne的轻带电粒子产生截面也是突然增大,并且其质子分布有较大的弥散,据此认为^17Ne可能具有晕结构。 Within the Boltzmann-Langevin equation, the isospin effects on the production cross sections of light charged particles （LCP） in the reaction of proton rich nuclei were studied. We have calculated the LCP productio n cross sections of the reaction ^12-15N ＋ ^28Si at 55 MeV/u and ^17-20Ne ＋ ^9Be at 60 MeV/u. The LCP production cross sections of ^12N increase abnormally in comparison with those of ^13-15N. The result accorded with experimental one. It also happened to ^17-20Ne. It suggests that ^17Ne is probably a proton halo nucleus.     

αγ angular correlations in the inelastic scattering of α particles on 24Mg at Eα = 30.3 MeV

The results from measuring the angular dependence of differential α-scattering cross sections on ²⁴Mg with final nucleus formation in the ground and three lower excited states are presented, along with the double differential ²⁴Mg(α, αγ)²⁴Mg(2⁺, 1.369 MeV) reaction cross sections at E _α = 30.3 MeV. The spin-tensor components of the density matrix of the ²⁴Mg nucleus in the 2⁺(1.369 MeV) state are reconstructed and its orientation characteristics are determined. The experimental results are compared to theoretical results under the assumption of collective excitation and mechanisms for compound nucleus formation.
