95Zr(n,γ)96Zr的间接测量

95Zr（n,γ）96Zr是稳定燃烧的恒星中合成96Zr的唯一途径,对研究恒星演化和重元素合成具有重要的意义。由于95Zr半衰期为64 d,直接测量95Zr（n,γ）96Zr截面极为困难,因此,本工作采用替代比率法间接测量95Zr（n,γ）96Zr截面。本工作测量了94Zr（18O,16Oγ）96Zr和90Zr（18O,16Oγ）92Zr反应,得到了复合核96Zr*和90Zr*衰变到γ道的几率比,并利用截面已知的91Zr（n,γ）92Zr截面乘以实验所测比率,得到了E_n=0~8 MeV能区的95Zr（n,γ）96Zr中子俘获截面。95Zr(n, γ)96Zr cross section is important for the study of stellar evolution and heavy elements nucleosynthesis because the reaction is the only way to produce the 96Zr in Asymptotic giant branch stars. The direct measurement of 95Zr(n, γ)96Zr is very difficult due to the short half-life of 95Zr, 64 days. The surrogate ratio method was carried out to measure 95Zr(n, γ)96Zr cross sections. We measured the 94Zr(18O, 16Oγ)96Zr and 90Zr(18O, 16Oγ)92Zr reactions and obtained the γ-decay probability ratio of compound nuclei 96Zr* and 92Zr*. The 95Zr(n, γ)96Zr cross section is determined by the obtained ratio multiplying the known 91Zr(n, γ)92Zr cross section at E_n=0~8 MeV.     

The two-neutron transfer reactions (O, O) with O, C and Mg targets

Excitation functions, angular distributions and differential ranges were measured for the ²⁶Mg(¹⁸O, ¹⁶O)²⁸Mg reaction at ¹⁸O beam energies of 20–45 MeV. Excitation functions only were measured for the reactions ¹⁴C(¹⁸O, ¹⁹O)¹³C, ¹⁴C(¹⁸O, ¹⁶O)¹⁶C, ¹⁴C(¹⁸O, ²⁰O)¹²C, ¹⁴C(¹⁸O, ¹⁵N)¹⁷N and ¹⁸O(¹⁸O, ¹⁹O)¹⁷O, ¹⁸O(¹⁸O, ¹⁶O)²⁰O, ¹⁸O(¹⁸O, ¹⁵N)²¹F at ¹⁸O beam energies of 13–41 MeV. We have identified these as direct reactions in which a single neutron, a two-neutron cluster, a deuteron and a triton are transferred between projectile and target.

The cross sections for two-neutron transfer reactions were found to be relatively high and those for the ¹⁸O+¹⁸O and the ¹⁴C+¹⁸O reactions were higher than the ones of single-neutron transfers over most of the energy range.

Attempts were made to apply the theory of Buttle and Goldfarb for single-neutron transfer to the case of two-neutron transfer in the ²⁶Mg(¹⁸O, ¹⁶O)²⁸Mg reaction below the Coulomb barrier. It is shown that for those reactions for which the assumptions, implicit in the model, are valid, good agreement is obtained with experiment. We also tried to apply the diffraction model of Dar and Kozlovsky to the calculation of the angular distribution of these reactions. A good fit to the experimental results could be obtained if quite different sets of parameters were used in the calculations for the two bombarding energies.

Parameter analysis for a nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope based on bf133Cs-129Xe/131Xe

We theoretically investigate several parameters for the nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope based on ¹³³Cs-¹²⁹Xe/¹³¹Xe. For a cell containing a mixture of ¹³³Cs at saturated pressure, we investigate the optimal quenching gas (N₂) pressure and the corresponding pump laser intensity to achieve 30% ¹³³Cs polarization at the center of the cell when the static magnetic field B₀ is 5 μT with different ¹²⁹Xe/¹³¹Xe pressure. The effective field produced by spin-exchange polarized ¹²⁹Xe or ¹³¹Xe sensed by ¹³³Cs can also be discussed in different ¹²⁹Xe/¹³¹Xe pressure conditions. Furthermore, the relationship between the detected signal and the probe laser frequency is researched. We obtain the optimum probe laser detuning from the D2 (6²S_1/2→6²P_3/2) resonance with different ¹²⁹Xe/¹³¹Xe pressure owing to the pressure broadening.

A study of the Ti(He, t) and Ni(He, t) reactions to isobaric analogue states

The (³He, t) reaction populating 0⁺ and 2⁺ states in ^{58, 60}Cu and ^{46, 48}V which are isobaric analogue states (IAS) of the 0⁺ ground states and 2⁺ first excited states in ^{58, 60}Ni and ^{46, 48}Ti have been studied at an incident ³He energy of 24.6 MeV. Triton spectra were measured for the targets ^46,48Ti, ^natNi and ⁵⁸Ni and angular distributions for the 0⁺ and 2⁺ IAS of ^{46, 48}Ti and ^{58, 60}Ni determined. The data were obtained using a magnetic spectrometer and position-sensitive detectors. The results have been analysed using DWBA theory. The 0⁺ → 0⁺ transitions to analogue states are described quite well using a microscopic form factor derived from a nucleon-nucleon interaction. However, with a Gaussian form, the m.s. radius of this interaction is only limited to the region 0–9 fm². Comparisons with data at other incident energies indicate that the strength of the effective interaction is strongly energy dependent. The Coulomb energies and (³He, t) angular distributions of the states assigned as the 2⁺ analogues in ⁴⁸V and ^58,60Cu are not described well by the models investigated. The ⁴⁶V 2⁺ IAS angular distribution is reproduced by a microscopic calculation, however. The ratios of the 0⁺ → 2⁺ IAS to the 0⁺ → 0⁺ IAS transitions are used to deduce a quadrupole deformation for the valence neutrons. The difference in the quadrupole deformations of the matter and proton distributions, as determined by other means, is found to be correlated with those of the valence neutrons. Several transitions to non-analogue states are also investigated.     

关于93Mo中21/2+晕阱的来源(英文)

本研究通过壳模型计算研究了N=51的同中子素91Zr、93Mo和95Ru中高自旋晕态21/2+的同核异能态现象。计算发现,低角动量的p_1/2轨道上的质子是仅在93Mo中存在21/2+晕阱的主要原因。同时,本工作还研究了N=52的同中子素92Zr、94Mo和96Ru中10₁+-12₁+能级结构的系统性,发现94Mo中的10₁+-12₁+能级间隙相对最小,考虑到与93Mo的17/2₁+-21/2₁+能级相似的组态,这一结果为93Mo中出现21/2+晕阱提供了补充性的论证。Isomerism of the high-spin yrast 21/2+ states of the N=51 isotones 91Zr, 93Mo and 95Ru has been investigated using the shell model calculations. It is found that the low-j πp_1/2 is responsible for the only yrast trap in 93Mo. In addition, the relatively smaller 10₁+-12₁+ level spacing in 94Mo has been found by investigating the systematics of the 10₁+-12₁+ level structures in the N=52 isotones 92Zr, 94Mo and 96Ru. This result provides a supplementary argument to the origin of the 21/2+ yrast trap in 93Mo from the viewpoint of the similarity between the configurations of 10₁+-12₁+ states in 94Mo and those of 17/2₁+-21/2₁+ states in 93Mo.

利用18O(6Li,d)22Ne反应研究22Ne Eα=470 keV共振态的性质

慢速中子俘获过程（s过程）是合成比铁重元素的重要途径之一。22Ne（α,n）25Mg反应是大质量AGB星中s过程主要的中子源,其中的22Ne主要通过14N（α,γ）18F（β+）18O（α,γ）22Ne反应链合成。该反应链中关键反应18O（α,γ）22Ne在天体物理感兴趣能区的截面非常低,其天体反应率主要来自于22Ne α分离阈附近低能共振态的贡献,但目前相关能级的共振参数严重缺失。在HI-13串列加速器的Q3D磁谱仪上,通过测量18O（6Li,d）22Ne反应的角分布,利用DWBA分析确定了22Ne分离阈附近共振能级E_α=470 keV的自旋宇称为0+,为后续计算18O（α,γ）22Ne的天体反应率打下了基础。About a half of the abundances of elements heavier than iron comes from the so-called slowneutron capture process (s-process) in Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars, with the 22Ne(α, n)25Mg reaction as one of the main neutron sources. In the beginning phase of AGB thermal pulse, 22Ne is produced by the 14N(α, γ)18F(β+)18O(α, γ)22Ne reaction sequence, in which the 18O(α, γ)22Ne reaction plays a key role. While the reaction rate of the 18O(α, γ)22Ne is mainly affected by several resonant states lying closely to the α threshold in 22Ne, up to now, the relevant 22Ne parameters are fragmentary in the energy region corresponding to the typical temperatures of s-process. The direct measurement of the 18O(α, γ)22Ne reaction rate is extremely difficult due to the very low cross section. In this work, we investigated the 22Ne resonant states via the 18O(6Li, d)22Ne reaction at the Beijing HI-13 tandem accelerator of China Institute of Atomic Energy. Based on the DWBA analysis, preliminary results showed that the spin-parity of 22Ne E_α=470 keV resonant states was assigned as 0+, which would make contributions to subsequent calculation for the reaction rate of the 18O(α, γ)22Ne.

Fusion Barrier of Super-heavy Elements in a Generalized Liquid Drop Model

The macroscopic deformed potential energies for super-heavy elements Z = 110,112,114,116,118 arc determined within a generalized liquid drop model (GLDM). A quasi-molecular mechanism is introduced to describe the deformation of a nucleus in the GLDM and the shell model simultaneously. The macroscopic energy of a twocenter nuclear system in the GLDM includes the volume-, surface-, and Coulomb-energies, the proximity effect at each mass asymmetry, and accurate nuclear radius. The shell correction is calculated by the Strutinsky method and the microscopic single particle energies are derived from a shell model in an axially deformed Woods-Saxon potential with the quasi-molecular shape. The total potential energy of a nucleus can be calculated by the macro-microscopic method as the summation of the liquid-drop energy and the Strutinsky shell correction. The theory is applied to predict the fusion barriers of the cold reactions ^64Ni ^208 spb → ^272 110*, ^70Zn ^208pb → ^278 112*, ^76Ge ^208seb → ^284 114*,^82Se ^208pb → ^29 116*, ^86Kr ^208pb → ^294 118*. It is found that the neck in the quasi-molecular shape is responsible for the deep valley of the fusion barrier. In the cold fusion path, double-hump fusion barriers could be predicted by the shell corrections and complete fusion events may occur.

Decay Analysis of Ge Isotopes Formed in Reactions Induced by Tightly and Loosely Bound Projectiles

The dynamical cluster-decay model (DCM) is employed to investigate the decay of ^68,70Ge^* compound nuclei formed respectively via tightly (⁴He) and loosely (⁶He) bound projectiles, using ⁶⁴Zn target. The study is carried out over a wide energy range (E_c.m.~5 MeV to 16 MeV) by including the quadrupole deformations (β2i) and optimum orientations (θ_i^opt) of the decaying fragments. The fusion cross-sections, obtained by adding various evaporation channels show nice agreement with the experimental data for ⁴He+⁶⁴Zn reaction. The contribution from competing compound inelastic scattering channel is also analyzed particularly for ⁶⁸Ge^* nucleus at above barrier energies. On the other hand, the decrement in the fusion cross-sections of ⁷⁰Ge^* nuclear system is addressed by presuming that ⁶⁵Zn ER is formed via two different modes:(i) the αn evaporation of ⁷⁰Ge^* nucleus, and (ii) 1n-evaporation of ⁶⁶Zn^* nuclear system, formed via breakup and 2n-transfer channels due to halo structure of the ⁶He projectile. Besides this, the suppression in 2np evaporation cross-sections suggests the contribution of another breakup and transfer process of ⁶He i.e. ⁴He+⁶⁴Zn. The contribution of breakup+transfer channels for ⁶He+⁶⁴Zn reaction is duly addressed by applying relevant energy corrections due to the breakup of " ⁶He" projectile into 2n and ⁴He. In addition to this, the barrier lowering, angular momentum and energy dependence effects are also explored in view of the dynamics of chosen reactions.     

Low-lying electronic states of CuN calculated by MRCI method

The high accuracy ab initio calculation method of multi-reference configuration interaction(MRCI) is used to compute the low-lying eight electronic states of CuN.The potential energy curves(PECs) of the X~3∑~-,1~3Π,2~3∑~-,1~3△,1~1△,1~1∑~-,1~1Π,and ~5∑~- in a range of R=0.1 nm-0.5 nm are obtained and they are goodly asymptotes to the Cu(~2S_g) + N(~4S_u) and Cu(~2S_g)+N(~2D_u) dissociation limits.All the possible vibrational levels,rotational constants,and spectral constants for the six bound states of X~3∑~-,1~3Π,2~3∑~-,1~1△,1~1∑~-,and 1~1 Π are obtained by solving the radial Schrdinger equation of nuclear motion with the Le Roy provided Level 8.0 program.Also the transition dipole moments from the ground state X~3∑~- to the excited states 1~3Π and 2~3∑~- are calculated and the result indicates that the 2~3∑-X~3∑ transition has a much higher transition dipole moment than the 1~3Π-X~3∑~- transition even though the l~3Π state is much lower in energy than the 2~3∑~- state.

The isomers Tc, Ru, Tb and Bi

The decay of the isomers in ¹⁰¹Tc, ¹⁰³Ru, ¹⁵⁸Tb and ²⁰⁸Bi produced by 28 MeV bremsstrahlung has been re-investigated with a Ge(Li) counter.

Calculations of the dynamic dipole polarizabilities for the Li~+ ion

The B-spline configuration-interaction method is applied to the investigations of dynamic dipole polarizabilities for the four lowest triplet states(2~3S,3~3S,2~3P,and 3~3P) of the Li~+ ion.The accurate energies for the triplet states of n~3S,n~3P,and n~3D,the dipole oscillator strengths for 2~3S(3~3S)→n~3P,2~3P(3~3P)→n~3S,and 2~3P(3~3P)→n~3D transitions,with the main quantum number n up to 10 are tabulated for references.The dynamic dipole polarizabilities for the four triplet states under a wide range of photon energy are also listed,which provide input data for analyzing the Stark shift of the Li~+ ion.Furthermore,the tune-out wavelengths in the range from 100 nm to 1.2 μm for the four triplet states,and the magic wavelengths in the range from 100 nm to 600 nm for the 2~3S→3~3S,2~3S→2~3P,and 2~3S→3~3P transitions are determined accurately for the experimental design of the Li~+ ion.     

Steady state and transient fluorescence studies of CaF2: Dy single crystals

The steady state and transient fluorescence spectra of CaF₂: Dy³⁺ have been studied using Ar⁺ and N₂ lasers in the temperature range 77–673 K and in the wavelength region 4500–9000 Å. The spectra show the presence of two types of centers (type A and type B) with decay times of 1.3 and 3.5 ms. The observed spectrum is mostly due to type A centers. Three new groups of fluorescence ⁴F_9/2−⁶H_11/2, ⁴F_9/2−(⁶H_9/2, ⁶F_11/2) and ⁴F_9/2−(⁶H_7/2, ⁶F_9/2) have been observed for type A centers, and a tentative assignment of the positions of the Stark levels of ⁶H_11/2, (⁶H_9/2, ⁶F_11/2) and (⁶H_7/2, ⁶F_9/2) has been made. The change in the intensity of the transitions with temperature and excitation wavelength are discussed.

It is shorn that the double magic nucleus ⁴⁰Ca is unstable with respect to the double K-electron capture ⁴⁰Ar. By using the shell model wave functions for both ⁴⁰Ca and ⁴⁰Ar, the lifetime of ⁴⁰Ca is estimated as 1.2×10³³yrs.     

Stopping powers of CR-39 nuclear track material for Z=1−14 ions with 0.25–2.8 MeV/u

Experimental studies of the slowing down of ¹H, ⁴He, ⁷Li, ¹¹B, ¹²C, ¹⁴N, ¹⁶O, ²³Na, ²⁷Al and ²⁸Si ions in CR-39 nuclear track etch material in the ion energy range 0.25–2.8 MeV/u are presented. The ion stopping powers obtained are compared to the predictions of two recent semiempirical models for calculating ion stopping powers. The predictions are found to clearly underestimate the observed stopping powers for ⁷Li, ¹¹B, ¹²C, ²³Na, ²⁷Al and ²⁸Si ions.
