Laser Spectroscopy and \beta-NMR Measurements of Short-Lived Mg Isotopes

The feasibility of studying the neutron-rich ²⁹Mg, ³¹Mg, and ³³Mg isotopes has been demonstrated with the laser and β-NMR spectroscopy setup at ISOLDE/CERN. The values of the magnetic moment and the nuclear spin of ³¹Mg are reported and reveal an intruder ground state. This proves the weakening of N = 20 shell gap and places this nucleus inside the so-called ‘island of inversion.’ The experimental setup and technique, as well as the results, are presented.

First Measurement of the Nuclear Charge Radii of Short-Lived Lithium Isotopes

A novel method for the determination of nuclear charge radii of lithium isotopes is presented. Precise laser spectroscopic measurements of the isotope shift in the lithium 2s → 3s transition are combined with highly accurate atomic physics calculation of the mass dependent isotope shift to extract the charge-distribution-sensitive information. This approach has been used to determine the charge radii of ^8,9Li for the first time.     

Neutron induced reaction cross-section of115In around 14 MeV

A systematic investigation was carried out on¹¹⁵In to determine the contribution of different reactions to the total non-elastic cross-section in the 13.43 and 14.84 MeV incident neutron energy range. All the major components ofσ _NE were measured with exception of theσ ^g(n, n′) cross section. An analytical expression is recommended to estimate theσ _NE data as a function of mass number at E_n=14.1 MeV. By the knowledge ofσ _NE, the energy dependence ofσ ^g(n, n′) could be deduced. The isomeric cross section ratios both for (n, 2n) and (n, n′) processes were also determined in the given energy range. The present experiment proves the dependence ofσ ^m/(σ ^g+σ ^m) ratio on the spin value (I _m) of the isomeric state in the (n, 2n) reaction. Excitation functions of the (n, 2n), (n, n′) (n, p) and (n∶ p, α) reactions calculated by STAPRE code show good agreement with the experimental results.     

Mass Measurements of Exotic Nuclei around N=Z=40 with CSS2

Mass measurements of the N=Z nuclei ⁸⁰Zr, ⁷⁶Sr, ⁶⁸Se were performed for the first time and a new measurement was obtained for ⁸⁰Y, using the second cyclotron CSS2 of GANIL as a high-resolution spectrometer. Ions around N=Z were produced by fusion-evaporation in the inverse ⁵⁸Ni (4.32MeVA) + ²⁴Mg and ¹²C reactions. New masses were measured by a time-of-flight method, with a precision of 2⋅10⁻⁶, by using well-known masses as references. Study of the double binding energy difference δV _np is then performed leading to a strong N=Z Wigner effect around N=Z=40. Knowledge of new masses in this region also plays a crucial role in the modelling of the astrophysical rp process. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

在ADS散裂靶系统的优化设计中,蒙特卡罗方法结合可靠的散裂反应理论模型进行中子学计算具有重要的作用。本工作利用Geant4程序中的INCLXX模型、BIC模型以及BERT模型和FLUKA程序分别模拟了597 MeV和1 500 MeV质子轰击薄铅靶不同出射角度的中子双微分截面,500,1 500 MeV质子轰击厚铅靶不同出射角度的中子双微分产额,以及400,600,800,1 000和1 200 MeV质子轰击厚钨靶在反角方向（175 °）的中子双微分产额,并与实验数据进行比较。研究表明,对于薄铅靶,Geant4程序的INCLXX模型和FLUKA程序模拟结果与实验符合得更好。能量在10～40 MeV范围内,BIC模型模拟结果明显高于实验数据,而BERT模型模拟结果略微低于实验数据。对于厚铅靶,在40 MeV左右所有的模拟结果都低于实验数据。对于厚钨靶,Geant4程序的BIC模型和FLUKA程序与实验数据符合得较好,INCLXX模型在能量高于60 MeV时模拟结果低于实验数据,BERT模型与实验数据差异较大。总体来看,Geant4程序的INCLXX模型和FLUKA程序进行ADS散裂靶相关的中子学的计算是合理和可靠的。The reliable Monte Carlo simulation codes coupled with nuclear reaction models play an important role in the neutronic calculation for the design and optimization of the ADS spallation target. In this work, the double differential cross sections at different angles produced from a thin lead target bombarded with 597 and 1 500 MeV protons, the neutron energy spectra at different angles produced from a thick lead target bombarded with 500 and 1 500 MeV protons, and the neutron energy spectra in the backward direction(175°) produced from a thick tungsten target bombarded with 400, 600, 800, 1 000 and 1 200 MeV protons are calculated with the Geant4 code coupled INCLXX, BIC and BERT models and the FLUKA code. The calculations are compared with the available experimental data. The results show that, for the thin lead target, the calculations with the Geant4 coupled INCLXX model and FLUKA code well reproduce the experimental results. In a energy range from 10 to 40 MeV, BIC model obviously overestimates the experimental results, and BERT model slightly underestimates the experimental results. For the thick lead target, all of the calculations underestimate the experimental results around 40MeV. For the thick tungsten target, the Geant4 coupled BIC model and FLUKA code well reproduce the experimental results. INCLXX model underestimates the experimental results above 60 MeV. BERT model bad reproduces the experimental results. Overall, the neutronic calculations with the Geant4 code coupled INCLXX model and FLUKA code for the ADS spallation target is reasonable and reliable.     

He 离子注入引起的高纯钨硬化

完成了不同注量或温度下100 keV 的He 离子注入高纯钨的实验,并利用纳米压痕技术测量了材料的微观力学性能。所有注入样品的纳米硬度值都高于未注入样品的纳米硬度值。对于室温注入样品,随着注量的增加,样品抗弹性变形能力下降;当注量不高于5x1017 ions/cm2 时,钨的纳米硬度峰值随着注量的增加而增加;注量为1x1018 ions/cm2 的钨样品的纳米硬度峰值反而降低。高温注入样品的抗弹性变形能力优于室温注入样品的抗弹性变形能力;随着注入温度的增加,样品的平均纳米硬度值和弹性模量略有下降。分析讨论了He 注入钨硬化和抗弹性形变能力降低的可能原因。Tungsten has been selected as divertor materials in fusion reactors because of its high thermal conductivity,high melting point, low expansion coefficient and high threshold energy for sputtering etc. The paper presents the hardening behaviour of high pure tungsten by 100 keV He+ with different fluences from 5x1016 ions/cm2 to 1x1018ions/cm2 at room temperature, and with fluence of 1x1018 ions/cm2 at higher temperatures (400, 600 and 800 °C). The microscopic mechanical properties of these samples were investigated by nano-indentation technology. The results show that all of the implanted samples harden obviously. The reason for hardening may be that defects of interstitial dislocation loops or dense helium bubbles etc induced by helium implantation obstacle the movement of dislocation. The peak nanohardness of the samples increased with the fluences increasing when the fluence is not more than 5x1017 ions/cm2, while the nano-hardness value of the implanted sample with the fluence of 1x1018 ions/cm2 decreases and the nano-hardness changes little in the region of 50 nm to 200 nm from surface. For all the implanted samples with 1x1018 ions/cm2 at higher temperatures, their nano-hardness values are similar, but show a trend of decrease with increasing temperature.The reason may be the decrease of the defects’ density during implantation at higher temperatures. In addition, the capability of resisting deformation for the implanted tungsten reduces with increasing fluence and increases a little at higher temperatures.     

蓝宝石中子辐照色心的研究

研究了中子辐照对蓝宝石(α-Al2O3)单晶体缺陷形成及光学性能的影响,对采用提拉法与温度梯度法生长的蓝宝石晶体进行中子辐照,通过对比辐照前后的吸收及荧光光谱变化,发现辐照使得蓝宝石晶体内形成F、F^ 和F2^ 色心缺陷,但不同方法生长的晶体样品中色心浓度差异明显。其中提拉法样品的F心浓度要高于温度梯度法样品,而温度梯度法样品中F^ 色心浓度要高于提拉法样品。分析表明,这与两种方法生长的晶体中杂质含量差异有关。通过研究辐照后晶体的热致发光谱发现提拉法与温度梯度法生长的蓝宝石晶体分别在145℃与150℃有明显的热致发光出现,采用初始上升法计算出两种方法生长的晶体的热致发光陷阱深度分别为1．15eV及1．05eV。

卵石材料在中子场下的次级放射性分析

由中国科学院近代物理研究所负责设计和建设的加速器驱动嬗变研究装置（CiADS）将建于广东省惠州市。作为一个核装置,CiADS在运行过程中会对环境造成次级放射性影响,因此评估CiADS对环境造成的次级放射性影响水平不仅对公众健康有重要意义,对屏蔽设计也具有一定的指导作用。利用241Am-Be中子源对兰州重离子加速器研究装置（HIRFL）附近的卵石材料进行了辐照实验,测量和分析了辐照后卵石样品内产生的24Na,54Mn,56Mn和27Mg的比活度等相关信息。通过对实验数据与利用蒙特卡罗程序Geant4模拟得到的各放射性核素比活度的比较,验证了Geant4模拟分析中子场下环境介质次级放射性这一方法的可靠性。进而利用Geant4模拟研究了CiADS质子加速器HEBT隧道底部屏蔽层外的中子能谱以及隧道底部屏蔽层外卵石层因中子活化产生的主要放射性核素的饱和比活度。分析结果表明,在合理的屏蔽设计条件下,CiADS运行期间泄露到屏蔽层外的中子活化环境中卵石材料造成的环境影响几乎可以忽略。The China initiative Accelerator Driven System (CiADS) is the first integrated ADS facility designed to study the safety disposal of nuclear waste. As a nuclear facility, it will cause radiological impact on the environment. Therefore, the assessment of radiological impact on the environment around this facility will not only meaningful to the public health, but also offers significant guides to the shielding design of CiADS. Pebble samplings were collected around the campus of the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL) and irradiated by a 241Am-Be neutron source. Based on the γ-spectrum measured by a HPGe detector before and after the neutron irradiation, the specific activities of induced radionuclides 24Na,54Mn,56Mn and 27Mg in these samples were analyzed and compared with the Monte-Carlo simulation values obtained with the Geant4 toolkit. The comparison between the experimental and simulated results indicates that Geant4 toolkit is feasible for radiation impact assessment of nuclear facilities, such as CiADS. Then the neutron spectrum outside the concrete shielding of HEBT tunnel of the CiADS have been simulated by the Geant4 toolkit, and the saturation activities of the induced nuclides in the first 10 cm pebble layer have been predicted. The results show that the saturation activities of induced radionuclides in pebbles outside the CiADS shielding are much lower than their exemption values and their radiation impacts to the environment could be ignored.     

Average Property of Isospin Effects Induced by Neutron-Halo Nuclei

We study the average property of the isospin effects of reaction mechanism induced by neutron-halo nuclei within the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model. We find that the extended neutron density distribution for the neutron-halo projectile brings an important isospin effect into the reaction mechanism, which induces the decrease of nuclear stopping R; however, it induces the obvious increases of the neutron-proton ratio of nucleon emissions （n/p）nucl for all of the beam energies in this work, compared to the same mass stable colliding system.
