Fragmentation channels of relativistic 7Be nuclei in peripheral interactions

At the JINR Nuclotron, ⁷Li nuclei are accelerated. The charge-exchange reaction involving these nuclei at an external target provides a secondary 1.23-A-GeV ⁷Be beam. This beam is used to irradiate emulsion chambers. The mean free path λ_inel(⁷Be) = 14.0 ± 0.8 cm for inelastic ⁷Be interactions in an emulsion coincides within the errors with those for ⁶Li and ⁷Li nuclei. More than 10% of the ⁷Be events are associated with the peripheral interactions in which the total charge of the relativistic fragments is equal to the charge of the ⁷Be nucleus and in which charged mesons are not produced. An unusual ratio of the helium isotopes is revealed in the composition of the doubly charged fragments of the ⁷Be nuclei: the number of the ³He fragments is twice as large as that of the ⁴He fragments. Each of 50% of peripheral interaction events includes two doubly charged fragments. The channels of the ⁷Be fragmentation into charged fragments are presented. In 50% of events, the ⁷Be fragmentation occurs only into charged fragments without the emission of neutrons. The ⁴He + ³He channel dominates, whereas each of the ⁴He + d + p and ⁶Li + p channels constitutes 10%. Two events without neutron emission are observed in the ³He + t + p and ³He + d + d three-body channels. The mean free path for the coherent dissociation of relativistic ⁷Be nuclei into ⁴He + ³He is equal to 7 ± 1 m. The main features of the fragmentation of relativistic ⁷Be nuclei in such peripheral interactions are explained by the ³He + ⁴He two-cluster structure of the ⁷Be nucleus.

Antiparticle Excitation Effect in the Relativistic Spin-Isospin-Dependent Response Function of Nucleus

The spin-isospin-dependent response function of nucleus is studied in the relativistic formalism. Besides the well-known relativistic particlehole and A-hole excitations, the antiparticle excitations such as nucleon-antinucleon, nucleon-antidelta, antinucleon-delta excitations are also taken into account in the calculation of the response function, and the effect of the antiparticle excitation is emphasized. The antiparticle excitation enhances the response function and its effect to the response function is largely determined by the cutoff parameter which is introduced by the need of the renormalization. The position of the peak of the A-hole resonance is mainly dominated by short range correlation Landau-Migdal parameter g', and we find g' is about 0.6. The effect of two-nucleon absorption and projectiletarget form factor are also studied.     

在相对论平均场框架下Pr同位素链中滴线核的确定

在相对论平均场框架下研究了Pr同位素链中中子和质子滴线核的可能位置及相关性质.对效应的处理采用了BCS方法,并使用了与同位素有关的对力常数,对不成对的核子采用了‘阻塞法’,考虑了核的轴对称形变.计算结果表明,对不同物理量的研究都可得到¹⁸⁵Pr为同位素链中丰中子边最后一个稳定核.而在丰质子边,采用本方法很难确定质子滴线核的位置.原因是由于在丰质子边随着A的减少,费米面比丰中子边的费米面更快地趋于连续态,BCS方法不再成立,并须考虑束缚态和连续态的耦合.

Comparison of 7Li , 7Be + 9Be elastic scattering in the coupled-reaction-channels approach

The data for the ⁷Li + ⁹Be and ⁷Be + ⁹Be elastic scattering at the energies E _lab(⁷Li) = 15.75 , 24, 30, 34, 63 and 130MeV and E _lab(⁷Be) = 17 , 19 and 21MeV were analyzed within the optical model and coupled-reaction-channels method. The elastic and inelastic scattering, reorientation of ⁷Li , ⁷Be and ⁹Be as well as most important transfer reactions were included in the coupled-channels scheme. The resulting ⁷Li and ⁷Be potentials are very similar and have the same energy dependence. The real potential for recently derived ⁸Be + ⁹Be scattering potentials is very similar to that for ⁷Li , ⁷Be but the imaginary part of the ⁸Be one has a much greater strength at longer range.

Interaction of loosely bound radioactive 7Be and stable 7Li with 9Be

Quasielastic scattering angular distributions have been measured for the ⁷Be + ⁹Be system at E _lab = 17 , 19 and 21MeV in the angular range $ \theta_{{cm}}^{}$ = 24^° - 57^° . An optical model (OM) analysis of these data has been carried out in order to extract optical potential parameters and reaction cross-sections. One-proton stripping cross-sections were also measured for this system at E _lab = 19 and 21MeV. These transfer angular-distribution data were compared with the finite-range distorted-wave Born approximation (FRDWBA) calculations. For the ⁷Li + ⁹Be system quasielastic scattering angular distributions were measured and emitted light charged particles were detected at E _lab = 15.75 , 24.00 and 30.00MeV in the angular range $ \theta_{{cm}}^{}$ = 7^° - 70^° . Fusion cross-sections were obtained by reproducing the measured $ \alpha$ -evaporation spectra from the compound nucleus at backward angles with the statistical model calculations. The ratios of the experimental fusion cross-sections to the total reaction cross-sections (obtained from OM analysis) were found to be small. This result suggests that the break-up process has a strong influence on the fusion process leading to a reduction in the fusion cross-section.

Measurements of elastic scattering for 7Be, 7Li + 9Be systems and fusion cross sections for 7Li + 9Be system

Elastic scattering angular distributions have been measured for ⁷Be + ⁹Be system at E_lab = 17, 19 and 21 MeV in the angular range θ_cm=26^○–58°, and for ⁷Li + ⁹Be system at E_lab= 15.75, 24 and 30 MeV. An optical model (OM) analysis of these data have been carried out. For the ⁷Li + ⁹Be system fusion cross sections were obtained at E_lab = 15.75, 24 and 30 MeV by measuring the α-evaporation spectra from the compound nucleus at backward angles. The measured α-evaporation spectra were reproduced by the statistical model calculations and fusion cross sections were extracted therefrom. The ratios of the experimental fusion cross sections to the total reaction cross sections (obtained form OM analysis) were found to be rather small. This result suggests that break-up process has a strong influence on fusion process leading to a reduction in fusion cross section.

Change of the 7Be electron capture half-life in metallic environments

For the electron capture of ⁷Be in the metallic environments Pd and In the ⁷Be half-life was observed to increase by 0.9±0.2 and 0.7±0.2%, respectively, while in the insulator Li₂O it was unchanged within experimental error (all samples cooled to T = 12K). The observations are consistent with the predictions of the Debye plasma model applied to the quasi-free electrons in the metals.     

Precision measurement of the 7Be(p,gamma)8B cross section with an implanted 7Be target

The 7Be(p,gamma)8B reaction plays a central role in the evaluation of solar neutrino fluxes. We report on a new precision measurement of the cross section of this reaction, following our previous experiment with an implanted 7Be target, a raster-scanned beam, and the elimination of the backscattering loss. The new measurement incorporates a more abundant 7Be target and a number of improvements in design and procedure. The point at E(lab)=991 keV was measured several times under varying experimental conditions, yielding a value of S17(E(c.m.)=850 keV)=24.0+/-0.5 eV b. Measurements were carried out at lower energies as well. Because of the precise knowledge of the implanted 7Be density profile, it was possible to reconstitute both the off- and on-resonance parts of the cross section and to obtain from the entire set of measurements an extrapolated value of S17(0)=21.2+/-0.7 eV b.     

Change in ~7Be half-life in host media

First-principle calculations within the density functional theory framework are used to study the probability of electron capture for the ~7Be nucleus.For this purpose,electron density at the ~7Be nucleus is computed in Al,Au,Pd,Pt,and Pb environments.Our results show that the half-life of ~7Be is changed by implanting ~7Be in host environments.Electron affinity of the media and confinement effects are responsible for the change in the half-life of ~7Be nucleus.Moreover,electric potential at the ~7Be nucleus is calculated.Results show that variations in electric potential are usually consistent with those in electron density at the ~7Be nucleus.     

Reflection Asymmetric Relativistic Mean Field Approach and Its Application to the Octupole Deformed Nucleus ^226Ra

A reflection asymmetric relativistic mean field （RAS-RMF） approach is developed by expanding the equations of motion for both the nucleons and the mesons on the eigenfunctions of the two-centre harmonic-oscillator potential. The efficiency and reliability of the RAS-RMF approach are demonstrated in its application to the well-known octupole deformed nucleus 226Ra and the available data, including the binding energy and the deformation parameters, are well reproduced.
