Signature splitting of the πh11/2 band and high-spin structures in 155Tb

Seven experimentally observed bands of 155Tb are analyzed in detail, using the particle-number-conserving method for treating the cranked shell model with monopole and quadrupole pairing interactions. We satisfactorily reproduce the experimental alignments and especially focus on the microscopic mechanism of the second back-bending and the influence of pair interaction on ultrahigh spins. Our calculated results show that the πi13/2 orbitals are too high to give a contribution to the moment of inertia below hω≈0.7 MeV. Instead, the crossing between the π[541]l/2 and other proton orbitals is responsible for the second back-bending. We assign a possible configuration to the decoupled band found in 155Tb and predict eleven bands which are experimentally unobserved.     

Study of the νi13/2－1 band in 189Pt

High-spin levels of ^189Pt have been studied with the in-beam T-spectroscopy method via the ^176Yb（^18O,5n） reaction at the beam energies of 88 and 95 MeV. The previously known ＂vi-1 13/2 band has been confirmed, and its unfavored signature branch extended up to the 31/2^＋ state. Within the framework of the triaxial particle-rotor model, the vi-1 13/2 band is suggested to be associated with the 11/2[615] configuration, and to have triaxial deformation.     

Study of Signature Inversion in the πi13/2 νi13/2Bands of Odd Odd Nuclei

High-spin states in odd-odd nuclei of ^176,178Ir and ¹⁸²Au have been studied experimentally using heavy-ion- induced fusion-evaporation reactions and standard in-beam γ-ray spectroscopic techniques. Rotational bands built on the πi_13/2 νi_13/2 configuration have been observed. In addition, on the basis of level spacing systematics, spin assignments have been proposed for the πi_13/2 νi_13/2 band in ¹⁸⁴ Au,which was reported without spin assignments in previous study. It is pointed out that the πi_13/2 νi_13/2 bands in ^176,178Ir and ^182,184Au present a low-spin signature inversion. In the theoretical framework of 2-quasiparticle plus rotor model with p- n residual interaction, the signature inversion phenomenon in the πi_13/2 νi_13/2 bands has been discussed qualitatively. Theoretical investigations have been performed for the πh_9/2 νi_13/2 and πi_13/2 νi_13/2 bands using the cranked shell model. It is found that the signature inversions in both configurations can be well reproduced using the pairing and deformation self-consistent cranked Wood-Saxon calculations.     

Orbital Relaxation Effects in the Calculation of Aluminum Kα Absorptions

A recent experimental Kα transmission spectrum of an Muminum plasma is theoretically studied by a detailed level accounting model. It is found that the orbital relaxation effects of the K- and L-shell orbitals should be considered to calculate accurate line positions and strengths. To do this the initial and the final radial wave functions of Kα lines are respectively optimized by solving the full relativistic Dirac-Fock equation. Extensive configuration interaction calculations are performed to obtain the energy levels and the oscillator strengths. It is shown that both the line positions and the line strengths agree quite well with experiment when the orbital relaxations are considered.     

Franck--Condon factors and r-Centroids for the A 1∑+u-X1∑+g Band System of 107,109Ag2: Comparison of the Observed and Calculated Absorption Band Strengths

Franck-Condon factors and r-centrolds for the, A^1 ∑^＋ u-X^1∑^＋ 9 band system of ^107,109Ag2 are computed using Morse and Rydberg-Klein-Rees potentials for both lower and upper electronic states. The differences between the two sets of results are typically in the third decimal place for transitions involving vibrational levels with ν＇ and ν＂ up to about 15. Somewhat larger deviations appear for higher vibrational levels, but both sets of results follow the same pattern, which is to match well with the relative absorption band strength distribution in our experimental spectrum. The relative absorption band strengths are calculated by assuming that the electronic transition moment has only a weak dependence on the internuclear distance r. Good agreement between our measured and calculated absorption band strength ratios is found, which provides an excellent test of the calculated Franck- Condon factors and relative absorption band strengths. The r-centrold value for the （ν＇ = 0, ν＂ = 0） band is found to be approximately equal to the average value of r＇ and r＇＇e , indicating that the potentials of both states are not significantly aaharmonic around their minimum regions.     

Influence of the Jahn—Teller distortion on magnetic ordering in TbMn1-xFexO3

The Jahn-Teller distortion plays an important role in determining the exchange interaction in rare-earth manganites.In this work we study the influence of the Jahn-Teller distortion on the magnetic structures of TbMn1-xFexO3（x = 0,0.02,0.05,0.10,and 0.20） single crystals in the basal MnO2 plane.The decrease in the quadruple splitting with the increasing Fe doping indicates the reduction of the Jahn-Teller distortion,which makes the nearest neighboring（NN） FM interaction dominant over the next nearest neighbor（NNN） AFM interaction.This alteration is favorable for the development of A-type AFM ordering instead of the spiral magnetic ordering,which collapses when x ≥ 0.05.The analysis of dielectric data indicates that the ferroelectricity is arising from the peculiar spiral magnetic ordering.     

Study of semileptonic decays Bs→Ds1(2536)lν and Bs→Ds2(2573) lν in the CQM model

Based on the assumption that D_s1(2536) and D_s2(2573) belong to T doublet (1⁺,2⁺), we calculate the semileptonic decays of B_s to D_s1(2536) and D_s2(2573) in terms of the Constituent Quark Meson (CQM) model. For B_s→D_s1(2536)+lν and B_s→D_s2(2573)+lν, the order of magnitude of the obtained branching ratios is 10^－3. Our numerical results of the semileptonic decays of B_s to D_s1(2536) and D_s2(2573) are large, which implies that two semileptonic decays should be seen     

Measurement and analysis of the 238U(n, 2n) reactionrate in depleted uranium/polyethylene shells

In order to check the conceptual design of the subcritical blanket in a fusion-fission hybrid reactor, a depleted uranium/polyethylene simulation device with alternate shells has been established. The measurement of the ²³⁸U(n, 2n) reaction rate was carried out using an activation technique, by measuring the 208 keVγ rays emitted from ²³⁷U. The self-absorption of depleted uranium foils with different thicknesses was experimentally corrected. The distribution of the ²³⁸U(n, 2n) reaction rate at 90° to the incident D⁺ beam was obtained, with uncertainty between 5.3% and 6.0%. The experiment was analyzed using MCNP5 code with the ENDF/BVI library, and the calculated results are all about 5% higher than the measured results.     

Branching ratio and CP asymmetry of Bs→K0(1430)η(') decays in the PQCD approach

In the two-quark model supposition for K0*(1430), which can be viewed as either the first excited state (ScenarioⅠ) or the lowest lying state (Scenario Ⅱ), the branching ratios and the direct CP-violating asymmetries for decays s0 → K0*0(1430)η (’) are studied by employing the perturbative QCD factorization approach. We find the following results: (a) The CP averaged branching ratios ofs0 → K0*0 (1430)η ands0→ K0*0(1430)η’ are small and both in the order of 10-7 . If one views K0* (1430) as the lowest lying state, B(s0→K0*0(1430)η) ≈ 3.9×10-7 and B(s0→K0*0(1430)η’) ≈ 7.8×10-7.(b) While the direct CP-violating asymmetries of these two decays are not small: if we still take the parameters of K0* (1430) in scenario , ACPdir(s0→K0*0(1430)η) ≈ 56.2% and ACPdir(s0→ K0*0(1430)η’) ≈ 42.4%. (c) The annihilation contributions will play an important role in accounting for future data, because both the branching ratios and the direct CP asymmetries of these two decays are sensitive to the annihilation type contributions.
