等离子体屏蔽对He2+与H原子碰撞电离微分截面的影响

应用经典径迹Monte Carlo（CTMC）方法研究了He²⁺与H原子在等离子体环境下的碰撞电离过程,计算了在5—400 keV/u的能区随等离子体屏蔽作用变化的碰撞电离总截面和一阶微分截面.等离子体中带电粒子之间的相互作用采用Debye-Hückel模型来描述.由于等离子体屏蔽效应的存在,靶中束缚态电子能级及其经典微正则分布以及入射离子与靶电子的相互作用都发生了变化,而这些变化会直接影响碰撞电离过程.研究发现,碰撞电离总截面随等离子屏蔽的增加而增大,特别是在10 keV/u以下的低能区电离截面有量级的增加.对随能量变化的一阶微分截面,在低能碰撞过程中,屏蔽作用增加,微分截面呈量级增加,高能碰撞微分截面呈倍数增加.同时,屏蔽作用导致电离电子向高能方向移动,随着碰撞能量的增加两体碰撞机制的贡献越来越大,并在较高的出射电子能量出现了一个新的峰.对无屏蔽的自由原子碰撞过程,CTMC方法计算出的电离总截面在碰撞能量大于70 keV/u的较高能区在实验误差内与实验测量结果符合很好,而在较低的能区比实验值小30%—50%. 关键词： 重粒子碰撞电离 等离子体屏蔽效应 经典径迹Monte Carlo方法 Debye-Hückel模型     

Measured total cross sections of slow neutrons scattered by solid deuterium and implications for ultracold neutron sources

The total scattering cross sections for slow neutrons with energies in the range 100 neV to 3 meV for solid ortho-2H2 at 18 and 5 K, frozen from the liquid, have been measured. The 18 K cross sections are found to be in excellent agreement with theoretical expectations and for ultracold neutrons dominated by thermal up scattering. At 5 K the total scattering cross sections are found to be dominated by the crystal defects originating in temperature induced stress but not deteriorated by temperature cycles between 5 and 10 K.     

H + reactions from 1.96 to 6.20 MeV

The differential cross sections of ²H(d, d)²H, ²H(d, ³He)n, ²H(d, p)³H and ²H(d, t)p have been measured in a gas scattering chamber at ten bombarding energies between 2.0 and 6.2 MeV with accuracies ranging from ±1.7 % to ±3.4 %. The differential cross section of ²H(d, n)³He has been measured at forward angles to an accuracy of ±2.5 % at the same energies using a time-of-flight detection system. The neutron detection efficiency was calibrated from the ²H(d, ³He)n cross sections, so the neutron production cross sections reported here do not depend on any previous neutron measurements. The ²H(d, ³He)n cross sections have been converted into ²H(d, n) ³He cross sections and Legendre polynomial fits are given for the complete angular distributions of ²H(d, n)³He.     

Nuclear level densities below 40 MeV excitation energy in the mass regionA ≃ 50

Consistent pre-equilibrium emission and statistical model calculations of fast neutron induced reaction cross sections are used to validate nuclear level densities for excitation energies up to 40 MeV in the mass regionA ?50. A “composed” level density approach has been employed by using the back-shifted Fermi gas model for excitation energies lower than 12 MeV and a realistic analytical formula for higher excitations. In the transition region from the BSFG model range to that of full applicability of the realistic formula, an interpolation between the predictions of the two models is adopted. The interpolation rule, suggested by microscopic level density calculations, has been validated through the comparison of the calculated and experimental cross sections.

In this paper, the neutron production double-differential cross sections for Pb and Bi target materials at incident proton kinetic energies between 800 MeV and 3 GeV are studied by calculations with Monte Carlo simulation package Geant4. The simulated results of Geant4 with several physics models are compared with available experimental data. The simulated results generated by QGSP BERT and QGSP INCL ABLA physics models of Geant4 well reproduce the available experimental data. The present results validated that Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation package is suitable for simulations of neutron production double-differential cross sections of proton induced reaction on Pb and Bi targets in the incident energy range up to 3 GeV.     

Excitation of electronic states of Ar, H(2), and N(2) by positron impact

We have measured the first state-resolved, absolute cross sections for positron excitation of electronic states of an atom or molecule using a high resolution (Delta E approximately 25 meV FWHM) beam of positrons from a Penning-Malmberg trap. We present cross sections for the excitation of the low-lying levels of Ar, H(2), and N(2) for incident positron energies between threshold and 30 eV. For Ar and H2, comparison can be made with theoretical calculations, and, in the case of H(2), the results resolve a significant discrepancy between the only two available calculations.     

Absolute electron scattering cross sections for the CF2 radical

Using a crossed electron-molecular beam experiment, featuring a skimmed nozzle beam with pyrolytic radical production, absolute elastic cross sections for electron scattering from the CF2 molecule have been measured. A new technique for placing measured cross sections on an absolute scale is used for molecular beams produced as skimmed supersonic jets. Absolute differential cross sections for CF2 are reported for incident electron energies of 30-50 eV and over an angular range of 20-135 deg. Integral cross sections are subsequently derived from those data. The present data are compared to new theoretical predictions for the differential and integral scattering cross sections, as calculated with the Schwinger multichannel variational method using the static-exchange and static-exchange plus polarization approximations.

Absolute charge transfer and fragmentation cross sections in He2+-C60 collisions

We have determined absolute charge transfer and fragmentation cross sections in He2++C60 collisions in the impact-energy range 0.1-250 keV by using a combined experimental and theoretical approach. We have found that the cross sections for the formation of He+ and He0 are comparable in magnitude, which cannot be explained by the sole contribution of pure single and double electron capture but also by contribution of transfer-ionization processes that are important even at low impact energies. The results show that multifragmentation is important only at impact energies larger than 40 keV; at lower energies, sequential C2 evaporation is the dominant process.     

Electron impact ionization cross sections of the CO2 clusters

The modified Jain–Khare semi-empirical formalism for the evaluation of differential and integral electron impact ionization cross sections for molecules has been extended to the evaluation of cross sections for the electron ionization of CO₂ clusters: (CO₂)₂₄₀ and (CO₂)₁₇₀₀. The energy dependent differential cross sections are evaluated at the incident electron energies of 50, 100 and 200 eV. The integral total ionization cross sections have been calculated in the energy range varying from ionization thresholds to 1000 eV which revealed a good agreement with the available experimental and the theoretical data. The ionization rate coefficients have also been evaluated using the presently calculated ionization cross sections and Maxwell–Boltzmann energy distributions.     

Low energy elastic differential electron scattering from H2O

Normalized differential cross sections for elastic (rotationally averaged) electron scattering from gaseous water (H2O) are obtained using the relative flow method against helium with a thin aperture collimating source of gas instead of a tube. This method obviates the use of gas kinetic molecular diameters for helium or water. Our measurements are found to be largely in quantitative disagreement with past differential elastic electron scattering measurements and suggest that present recommended electron scattering total cross sections for water be revised.     

Excitation of molecular vibrations by positron impact

Absolute cross sections for the vibrational excitation of CO, CO2, and H2 by positron impact are presented for incident positron energies from 0.5 eV to several electron volts. The measurements use a novel technique that exploits the adiabatic motion of a positron beam in a strong magnetic field. This work is the first systematic experimental study of vibrational excitation by positron impact, and extends to energies where positron measurements have traditionally been difficult. The measured cross sections are compared with available theoretical calculations.

Positronium formation for positron scattering from metastable hydrogen

Positronium(Ps) formation for positron impact on metastable hydrogen in 2s state has been studied by using the twochannel, two-center eikonal final state-continuum initial distorted wave(EFS-CDW) method. The differential, integrated,and total cross sections for Ps formation in different states have been calculated from each channel opening thresholds to high energy region. The results are compared with other theoretical calculations available in the literature. For Ps formation in s-state at intermediate and high energies, our results are in good agreement with the prediction of distorted wave theory.Those formed in p-states and the total Ps formation cross sections are reported for the first time. It is shown that the total Ps formation cross sections for positron scattering from H(2s) state are significantly larger at relatively low energies, while smaller at high energies, compared with those obtained from hydrogen in ground state.     

Elastic scattering of electrons by europium and ytterbium atoms

The method of relativistic optical potential is applied to studying elastic scattering of electrons by europium and ytterbium atoms in a wide range of collision energies up to 2 keV. The angular dependences of the scattering differential cross sections and the energy dependences of the scattering integral (total, elastic, momentum transfer, and viscosity) cross sections are calculated in both spin-polarized and spin-unpolarized approximations. It is shown that the spin-polarized approximation should be used to calculate the scattering cross sections at energies below 10 eV for a europium atom. The low-energy scattering of an electron by a europium atom is characterized by P-, D-, and F-wave shape resonances. For an ytterbium atom, the calculated cross sections are in good agreement with available experimental data and with those obtained by calculation in terms of the relativistic convergent close-coupling method.     

Deuteron on deuteron 2H(d,nd)p break-up in the AGS formalism

Differential cross sections for the kinematically complete break-up experiment ²H(d, nd)p have been calculated using the four-body theory of Alt, Grassberger and Sandhas (AGS). The four-body rearrangement amplitudes involved were computed in first order K-matrix approximation, while the subamplitudes occurring in the (3 + 1) and (2 + 2) channels have been expanded using the generalized unitary pole expansion (GUPE). At low energies the shapes of the cross sections are in good agreement with experiment but the magnitudes are too high. It is shown that the quintet channel is dominant at these energies. With increasing energy the agreement of the magnitude with experiment improves, but there is some discrepancy concerning the shapes.     

Strong isotope effects on the charge transfer in slow collisions of He2+ with atomic hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium

Probabilities and cross sections for charge transfer by He2+ impact on atomic hydrogen (H), deuterium (D), and tritium (T) at low collision energies are calculated. The results are obtained using an ab initio theory, which solves the time-dependent Schr?dinger equation. For the H target, excellent agreement is achieved between the present and previous results. Differences by orders of magnitude are observed between the cross sections for H, D, and T. A method is introduced to separate the contributions of charge-transfer mechanisms due to radial and rotational coupling. The large differences observed for H, D, and T are attributed to isotope effects in the rotational coupling mechanism.
