Thermonuclear reaction rates from (p,n) reactions

Thermonuclear reaction rates for the temperature range 1≤T ₉≤5 have been extracted from experimentally measured (p, n) cross sections for⁴⁵Sc⁵⁰Ti,⁵¹V,⁵⁴Cr,⁵⁵Mn and⁵⁹Co nuclides below 5 MeV bombarding energy. These reaction rates are important in the build-up of medium and heavy nuclides in the stellar evolution process and nucleosynthesis. To enhance the usefulness of these reaction rates in astrophysical calculations, they have been fitted to an analytic function of temperature, valid throughout the temperature range considered here.     

51(p,n)51Cr reaction from E p 1.9 to 4.5 MeV

The total cross-section for the reaction⁵¹V(p, n)⁵¹Cr has been measured fromE _p 1.9 to 4.5 MeV by using two different techniques: (i) by detecting the neutron using the 4π neutron counter and (ii) by measuring the activity of the residual nucleus⁵¹Cr. The two measurements are consistent with each other and together they are in good agreement with the data of Zyskindet al. The thermonuclear reaction rates have also been extracted starting from these cross-sections.     

Levels in74As from the74Ge(p,nγe)74As reaction

The low-lying levels in⁷⁴As have been studied by means ofγ-ray and internal conversion electron spectroscopy following the⁷⁴Ge(p,n)⁷⁴As reaction. New levels at 372.7, 532.8, 632.1, 731.6, 752.7, 758.3, 801.6, 902.9 and 1128.5 keV, not observed in earlier studies, have been established.J ^π assignments have been made to several low-lying levels. An earlier ambiguity regarding the identification of an isomeric level has been clarified. The half-life of a level at 271.4 keV has been measured to be 1.0±0.1 nsec; in addition, limits on half-lives of levels at 182.7, 277.5 and 425.4 keV have been assigned. The level structure is discussed on the basis of available nuclear models.

Pre-equilibrium emission effect in (n,p) reaction cross-sections at 14.8 MeV

The influence of pre-equilibrium emission on (n, p) reaction cross-sections at 14.8 MeV has been studied. Cross-sections for (n, p) reactions have been measured by the activation technique at 14.8 .1; 0.5 MeV neutron energy. The experimental cross-section values have been compared with the calculated values at 14.8 MeV with and without considering the pre-equilibrium emission. Equilibrium calculations have been performed according to the statistical model of Hauser and Feshbach while the hybrid model has been used to include the pre-equilibrium contribution. Pre-equilibrium emission has been considered only in the first emission step. The comparison of experimental and calculated values clearly indicates the presence of pre-equilibrium emission.     

O(n) tricriticality in two dimensions

We present exact results for several universal parameters of the tricritical O(n) model in two dimensions. The results apply to the range −2⩽n⩽3/2, and include the central charge and three scaling dimensions, associated with temperature, magnetic field and the introduction of an interface. Since these results are based on an extrapolation of known relations between the O(n) and the Potts model, they cannot be considered as rigorous. For this reason, we perform an accurate numerical analysis of the central charge and the critical exponents. This analysis, which is based on transfer-matrix calculations on the honeycomb lattice, is in a full and precise agreement with the theoretical predictions.      

Reaction48Ca (p,n)48Sc fromE p =1.885 to 5.1 MeV

The total (p, n) reaction cross section for⁴⁸Ca has been measured as a function of proton energy in the energy range 1.885 to 5.100 MeV with an overall resolution of ∼ 2 keV and in ∼ 5 keV energy steps. The fluctutions in fine resolution data have been analysed to determine the average coherence width 〈Γ〉. The excitation function averaged over large energy intervals has been analyzed in terms of the optical model. The isobaric analogue resonances atE _p ∼ 1.95 and 4 MeV have been shape-analyzed to extract the proton partial width and the spectroscopic factorS _n . A comparison of the gross structures observed in ∼ 55 keV averaged excitation function with the predictions of Izumo’s partial equilibrium model has also been made.     

Additivity and non-additivity of dissociation energies in intermolecular interactions. Theoretical studies on (H2)n,n = 2-8, (CO2)n,n = 2-6 and (HF)n,n = 2-8

CCSD(T) and MP2 results using the aug-cc-pV5Z basis set are reported for chain, cyclic and other structures of the clusters (H₂)_n, n?=?2-8, (CO₂)_n, n?=?2-6 and (HF)_n, n?=?2-8. In chain-like structures of (H₂)_n and (CO₂)_n, with the bonding type of the dimer maintained, the dissociation energy D_e of the dimer doubles for the trimer, triples for the tetramer, and so on. Due to these systems being dominated by short-range forces, interactions are essentially restricted to neighbouring monomers. For other types of (H₂)_n and (CO₂)_n structures, the multipliers relative to the dimerisation energy can be much higher. Dissociation energies for the hexamers in S₆ symmetry of both H₂ (379?cm^?1) and CO₂ (4925?cm^?1) are over ten times the respective dimerisation energies. For the chain-like trimer of HF, however, D_e is in excess of double the dimer value. Mainly due to longer-range dipolar forces, the interactions reach beyond the neighbouring monomers. The interaction energy between HF monomers in chains follows an approximate R^?2 (R being the F–F distance) relationship, The calculated dissociation energies of the HF octamer are 15,985?cm^?1 (factor of 10.4) for the chain, and 21,003?cm^?1 (factor of 13.7) for the C_6h cyclic structure.     

Ab initio calculation of the 4He(e, e'd )d reaction

The two-body knock-out reaction ⁴He(e, e'd )d is calculated at various momentum transfers. The full four-nucleon dynamics is taken into account microscopically both in the initial and the final states. As NN interaction the central MT-I/III potential is used. The calculation shows a strong reduction of the coincidence cross-section due to the final-state interaction. Nonetheless, the theoretical results exhibit a considerable overestimation of the experimental cross-section at lower momentum transfer. Comparisons with other, less complete, calculations suggest that consideration of a more realistic ground state might not be sufficient for a good agreement with experiment, rather a more realistic final-state interaction could play an essential role.     

On a quasi-elastic mechanism of the reaction d(p, 2p)n

The problem on validity of quasi-elastic mechanism of the reaction d(p, 2p)n in the range of low energies (20–50 MeV) is studied. While estimating the effect of multiple scattering it is shown that the condition of quasi-elasticity holds sufficiently well in all the considered cases under the assumption on peripheral collision of counted particles (the cutoff method). The dependence of the cutoff radius R₀ on the energy of incident particles E₀ is discussed.

Cross-sections for the formation of isomeric pair Ge through (n, 2n), (n, p) and (n, α) reactions measured over 13.73 MeV to 14.77 MeV and calculated from near threshold to 20 MeV neutron energies

The cross-sections for formation of isomeric pair, ⁷⁵Ge^m(σ_m) and ⁷⁵Ge^g(σ_g), through ⁷⁶Ge(n, 2n), ⁷⁵As(n, p) and ⁷⁸Se(n, α) reactions were measured at 13.73 MeV, 14.42 MeV and 14.77 MeV neutrons and also estimated using EMPIRE-II and TALYS codes over neutron energies from near threshold to 20 MeV. For each (n, 2n), (n, p) and (n, α) reaction, the cross-section initially increases with neutron energy, but starts decreasing as the neutron energy exceeds the respective threshold of (n, 3n), (n, pn) and (n, αn) reactions. The higher values of σ_m relative to σ_g reveal that the transitions of the excited ⁷⁵Ge from higher energy levels to metastable state (7⁺/2) are favored as compared to unstable ground state (1⁻/2). The present values of cross sections for formation of ⁷⁵Ge^m,g through (n, 2n) and (n, α) reactions are lower, and that of (n, p) reaction are higher compared to most of the corresponding literature cross-sections.

Characters of Finite-Dimensional Irreducible q(n) -Modules

The solution of the Kac character problem for thequeer series of Lie superalgebras q(n) is announced. An explicit algorithm which computes the character of an arbitrary finite-dimensional irreducible q(n)-module is presented. As an illustration, the correction terms to the generic character formula of Penkov (Monatsh. Math.118 (1994), 419) are written down for all finite-dimensional irreducible representations of q(n), for n4, with nongeneric character.     

R-matrix plus potential analysis of unbound states of33S

Single channel single levelR-matrix plus potential analysis of the resonances observed in the³²S(n, n) reaction for the neutron energy lying from 20–1100 keV has been carried out to determine the properties of these resonances. This analysis is further supported by a single channel multilevelR-matrix analysis of the data. Spectroscopic factors for the resonances have also been calculated by ourR-matrix method. Its comparison with those obtained bydwba analysis of the (d, p) data is discussed.

Energy dependence of the isotopic effect in the (n,p) reaction on the germanium isotopes

Cross sections for^70,72,73,74Ge(n, p)^70,72,73,74Ga,⁷⁰Ge(n, 2n)⁶⁹Ge,⁷²Ge (n,)⁶⁹Zn ^m and⁷⁴Ge(n, )⁷¹Zn ^m reactions are measured in the energy range from 13.0 to 16.6 MeV by the activation method using Ge(Li) detector-ray spectroscopy and compared with predictions of the reaction model incorporating preequilibrium and equilibrium emission mechanisms to interpret the energy dependence of the isotopic effect occuring in the (n, p) reaction. The fitted single-particle state-density parametersg, determined here for the germaniums are discussed together with theg-values found previously for the Se, Zr and Pd isotopic chains. A validity of the consistency condition between the precompound and compound models, which relatesg to the experimental level-density parametera viaa= ² g/6 is demonstrated.
