HIAF上基于多核子转移反应的综合谱仪的机遇与挑战

丰中子核的结构及奇特衰变性质是核物理基础研究的一个重要课题。在即将开工的大科学工程强流重离子加速器装置（HIAF）上,我们将设计并建造一条专门针对多核子转移反应的综合谱仪。在此谱仪上,研究将主要集中于丰中子新核素的合成、鉴别及其核结构和衰变性质。介绍了此谱仪的动机、概念设计和工作原理,简要讨论了建造此谱仪的机遇和面对的困难。不同于熔合蒸发及弹核碎裂反应,多核子转移反应产物的出射在实验室系并不是0°附近的前冲方向,而是覆盖了25°~80°宽范围的圆锥角,这给收集和分离感兴趣的多核子转移反应产物带来了很大的困难。气体单元必须满足高束流强度、高传输效率、快传输速度的要求,其设计及建造具有挑战性。气体单元是该谱仪成败的最关键因素。The study on the nuclear structure and exotic decay property of neutron-rich nuclides is an important subject in nuclear physics research. In the ongoing big project HIAF (High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility), a general purpose spectrometer specific to the multinucleon transfer reactions is being designed and will be constructed. In this spectrometer, the researches will be concentrated on synthesis and identification of new neutron-rich nuclides, and on the study of their nuclear structure and decay properties. In this paper, the motivation, conceptual design and working principle of this spectrometer have been introduced, and the opportunities and challenges in the construction have been discussed briefly. Unlike the fusion evaporation and projectile fragmentation reaction products which are emitted in forward directions near 0° in laboratory frame, the outgoing angles of the products from multinucleon transfer reactions cover a wide range of 25° ~80°, thus it is very difficult to collect and separate those products of interest. The requirements of high beam rate, high transmission efficiency and high transport speed make the gas cell be very challenging in design and construction. The gas cell is the key component for the success of this spectrometer.

Q值效应对多核子转移反应136Xe+208Pb的影响

基于改进的量子分子动力学(ImQMD)模型,模拟了136Xe+208Pb在质心系入射能量为$E_{rm{c.m.}}$=617 MeV的多核子转移反应。为了研究这个特殊的反应体系,将不同核子数转移前后形成的类弹与类靶对应的$Q$值的指数概率分布引入模型中考虑$Q$值效应,并将计算结果与实验探测的总动能损失分布和质量分布进行了比较。我们发现考虑$Q$值效应后的计算结果更好地再现了实验数据。在少于10个核子的转移过程中,核子的转移明显受到了$Q$值效应的驱动。在更多的核子转移过程中,$Q$值效应明显压低了反应产物的生成截面。这是因为大量的核子转移主要发生在小碰撞参数,对应的复合体系的寿命由于$Q$值效应明显减小。在ImQMD与ImQMD+Q的计算结果比较中,我们还发现,$Q$值效应明显增加了比208Pb更丰中子的中子数为126的初级碎块生成截面。

原子核的大质量转移反应和丰中子超重核的产生(英文)

迄今为止,人们合成的超重核都是缺中子的,无论是熔合-裂变反应还是碎化过程都无法使产物达到周期表的“东北区域”。而重核之间(如U核之间) 的近垒大质量转移反应则可能是目前生成丰中子超重核和达到未知丰中子重核区域的唯一途径。在改进的量子分子动力学(ImQMD) 模型结合统计模型框架内,研究了U+U等反应体系的大质量转移反应,计算了反应产生的初生态碎片的质量和电荷分布,并成功再现了产物的终态质量和电荷分布。通过比较3 个反应136Xe+248Cm,48Ca+248Cm和238U+248Cm 产生的106号元素的截面大小,揭示了U+U等重核大质量转移反应对产生丰中子超重核是非常有利的。For elements with Z > 100 only neutron deficient isotopes have been synthesized so far. The “northeast area” of the nuclear map can be reached neither in fusion-fission reactions nor in fragmentation processes.The large mass transfer reactions in near barrier collisions of heavy (U-like) ions seem to be the only reaction mechanism allowing us to produce neutron rich heavy nuclei including those located at the superheavy(SH) island of stability and unexplored area of heavy neutron-rich nuclides. This study is extremely important for nuclear astrophysical investigations and, in particular, for the understanding of the r process. In this paper within the Improved Quantum Molecular Dynamics (ImQMD) model combining with the statistical-evaporation model, the large mass transfer reactions, like 238U+238U have been studied. The charge and mass distributions of transiently formed primary fragments are investigated within the ImQMD model and de-excitation processes of those primary fragments are described by the statistical decay model. The mass distribution of the final products in 238U+238U collisions is obtained and compared with the recent experimental data. Through compared the formation cross sections of transfermium element 106 by three reactions of 136Xe+248Cm, 48Ca+248Cm and 238U+248Cm, it is explored that the large mass transfer reactions, like U+U are very benefit for the production of SH nuclei.     

丰中子核8He在Si靶上的反应总截面的测量

利用HIRFL 50MeV/u ¹³C束流在Be靶上碎裂,RIBLL选择出丰中子放射性次级束流⁸He,实验测量了25—40MeV/u ⁸He在²⁸Si靶上的反应总截面.采用双参数HO密度分布形式,通过微观Glauber模型拟合⁸He实验数据,发现⁸He具有扩展的中子密度分布.实验结果与Warner反应总截面实验和Alkhazov弹性散射实验结果较好地符合.     

17N破裂反应产物的测量

丰中子核6He在28Si靶上的反应总截面测量

实验测量了20—40MeV u的轻丰中子核6He在Si靶上的反应总截面,并且结合6He的高能实验数据,采用双参数HO密度分布形式用Glauber模型计算得到较好的拟合.与Warner的实验数据比较,反应总截面数据系统性好,并与能量有明显的依赖关系. Total reaction cross section (σt) was measured for neuton rich nuclei 6He on 28Si target from about 20 to 40 MeV/u and compared with Warner s experimental data. It is found that the total cross section of 6He on 28Si depends on the energy and it can be fitted well by Glauber model using two term HO density distribution from high energy data of 6He.

Time-dependent Hartree-Fock study of 136Xe + 209Bi collisions

We have performed axially symmetric Skyrme force time-dependent Hartree-Fock calculations for the ¹³⁶Xe + ²⁰⁹Bi system at E(lab) = 940 MeV and 1130 MeV. The evolution of the nuclear geometry is studied in detail. The calculated final fragment kinetic energies, scattering angles, and charges are in good agreement with experiment, but the fragment charge dispersion is greatly underestimated. Studies of head-on collisions for 900 MeV ? E(lab) ? 2000 MeV show no evidence for fusion and indicate a dramatic transparency for E(lab) ? 1500 MeV.     

Nuclide distributions for Fe-like fragments in the 136Xe + 56Fe reaction

The nuclide distributions of Fe-like reaction products from the reaction 5.9 MeV/u ¹³⁶Xe on. ⁵⁶Fe were measured as a function of total kinetic energy loss at a laboratory angle of 55°. The first and second moments of N, Z and A were obtained in addition to the correlation coefficients and the isobaric variances. We compare these results for the Fe-like fragment to those implied by previous measurements of the secondary distribution of the Xe-like fragment. We incorporate the effects of particle evaporation on both the light and heavy complementary primary distributions. There is overall qualitative agreement, but the variances are somewhat smaller than those obtained previously even after correction for particle evaporation. Evaporation calculations are also performed on the primary distributions predicted by a nucleon exchange model, and yield distributions in good agreement with the present experimental data.     

Rotation alignment in 190Pt and 192Pt

Levels with spins up to 18 (20) in the ground-state bands of ¹⁹⁰Pt and ¹⁹²Pt have been observed. The very small energy spacing between the 12⁺ and 10⁺ levels in both nuclides is interpreted as a sudden decoupling of two i_{$\text{13}\text{2}$} neutrons from the collective core.     

Study of the side band in 188Pt

Low-lying levels in ¹⁸⁸pt were studied using the ¹⁹¹Ir(p, 4nγ)¹⁸⁸Pt reaction and higher spin members of the quasi-γ band were proposed. The results resemble a slightly perturbed phonon scheme, from comparisons with macroscopic calculations which would remove the degeneracy of the phonon multiplets. The importance of mass parameter renormalization is pointed out.     

中子与56Fe反应的理论计算

应用光学模型、核内级联模型、激子模型（含改进的Iwamoto-Harada模型）、统一的Hauser-Feshbach理论以及扭曲波玻恩近似理论,对入射能量在20 MeV以下中子与56Fe非弹性散射反应的γ产生截面、分立能级截面和总的非弹性散射截面进行计算,并与最新实验数据以及来自ENDF/B-VII、JEFF-3.1和JENDL-4库的评价数据进行比较和分析。结果显示,理论计算结果与实验数据符合较好,并且对于有些激发态的非弹性散射截面我们的计算结果优于ENDF/B-VII,JEFF-3.1和JENDL-4库的评价结果。The gamma production, level production and total inelastic scattering cross sections are calculated at incident neutron energy below 20 MeV. The optical model, the intra-nuclear cascade model, the exciton model (including improved Iwamoto-Harada model), the uni ed Hauser-Feshbach theory and the distorted wave Born approximation theory are used. Theoretical calculated results are compared with the recent experimental data and other evaluated data from ENDF/B-VII, JEFF-3.1, and JENDL-4. It is found that our calculated results agree with the experimental data and the calculated results for some level cross sections are more consistent with the related experimental data than the results from ENDF/B-VII, JEFF-3.1, and JENDL-4 data base.     

Oblate ground-state shapes of 11 h 189Pt and 2.8 d 191Pt

With nuclear orientation on $\text{11}\text{h}\text{3}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?189}}\text{Pt}\text{, 2.8}\text{d}\text{3}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?191}}\text{Pt}$ and $\text{4.0}\text{d}\text{13}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>+\; 195\; </mtext><mtext>m</mtext>}}\text{Pt}$ in Os and NMR on oriented ¹⁸⁹Pt and ¹⁹¹Pt in Fe electric and magnetic hyperfine splitting frequencies were measured. The nuclear moments are deduced to be: ¹⁸⁹Pt: |μ| = 0.434(9) μ_N, Q = ?0.65(26) b; ¹⁹¹Pt: |μ| = 0.500(10) μ_N, Q = ?0.64(26) b; ^195mPt: Q = +1.42(60)b. The negative spectroscopic ground-state quadrupole moments of ¹⁸⁹Pt and ¹⁹¹Pt must be due to oblate ground-state deformations, thus indicating that the prolate-oblate phase transition in Pt is located at A < 189.     

Electric monopole component in the 2+' → 2+ transition in 192Pt

Angular correlation measurements of K- and L-conversion electrons following the decay ¹⁹²Ir → ¹⁹²Pt have been made using a spectrometer with Ge(Li) and Si (Li) detectors. Absolute and relative internal conversion coefficients of transitions in ¹⁹²Pt were measured, using an ICC and prism β-spectrometers, to ≈ 2 % and values of δ_γ determined from the relative ICC. The experimental values measured in the study, A₂₂(K296γ316) = 0.138 ± 0.010, A₂₂(L296γ316) = 0.125 ± 0.013, α_K(296) = 0.0711 ± 0.0011, K/L_III = 9.65 ± 0.13. With δ_γ = + 5.4 ± 0.2, were employed for determining the E0/E2 amplitude ratios of conversion transitions, q(E0/E2), and the penetration parameter λ of the Ml component for the 2⁺' → 2⁺ (296 keV) transition in ¹⁹²Pt. The angular correlation measurements of L-conversion electrons enabled the elimination of one of two ranges of values of q and λ usually obtained. For the first time in our work, analysis of the e_Lγ angular correlation for the determination of the E0 component in the transition was carried out. As a result, q = +0.04 ± 0.05 with λ = ?4.5 ± 3.5 was obtained for the 296 keV transition. In this case, _ρ(E0) = 0.004 ± 0.005 agrees with _ρ(E0) = +0.006 determined theoretically by Kumar and Baranger for the 2⁺' → 2⁺ transition     

High-spin structure in 187Pt

High-spin states in ¹⁸⁷Pt were studied via the ¹⁷³Yb(¹⁸O, 4n) reaction. Rotational bands based on the νi_13/2, ν7/2⁻[503], νi² _13/2νj, ν3/2⁻[512] and ν1/2⁻[521] configurations were observed, and interpreted within the framework of the cranked shell model. The TRS calculations show that the νi_13/2 band has an appreciable negative γ deformation, and the negative-parity bands tend to have a near prolate shape with small positive γ values. Experimental values of B(M1)/B(E2) ratios have been extracted and compared with theoretical values from the semi-classical D?nau and Frauendof approach, strongly suggesting a low frequency πh_9/2 alignment in the ν7/2⁻[503] band.
