非弹性核反应对质子束能量沉积的影响

提出了一种比较精确且又省时的质子穿透的解析算法,并给出了考虑核反应后50—250MeV质子在水中的能量沉积,与Monte-Carlo方法的结果进行了比较.结果表明:1)非弹性核反应对质子的能量沉积有明显的影响,特别是对较高能量的质子束入射情况;2)该方法计算效率比Monte Carlo方法高百倍以上.因此,本文方法解决了质子能量沉积计算中效率和精度之间的矛盾,有可能在质子束放射治疗中得到实际应用. 关键词： 质子能量沉积 核反应 截面     

增强型Cascode结构氮化镓功率器件的高能质子辐射效应研究

针对增强型共栅共源(Cascode)级联结构和耗尽型AlGaN/GaN功率器件,利用60 MeV能量质子开展辐射效应研究.获得了经质子辐照后器件电学性能的退化规律,并与常规耗尽型HEMTs器件辐照后的电学性能进行了比较,发现增强型Cascode结构器件对质子辐照更加敏感,分析认为级联硅基MOS管的存在是其对质子辐照敏感的主要原因.质子辐照使硅基MOS管栅氧化层产生大量净的正电荷,诱导发生电离损伤效应,使其出现阈值电压负向漂移及栅泄漏电流增大等现象.利用等效(60 MeV能量质子,累积注量1×10¹² p/cm²)剂量的⁶⁰Co γ射线辐射器件得到电离损伤效应结果,发现器件的电学性能退化规律与60 MeV能量质子辐照后的退化规律一致.通过蒙特卡罗模拟得到质子入射在Cascode型器件内诱导产生的电离能损和非电离能损,模拟结果表明电离能损是导致器件性能退化的主要原因.     

同位旋相关量探测重离子碰撞趋平衡及对称能

用IQMD模型分析了由⁹⁶Ru和⁹⁶Zr构成的质量对称、同位旋不对称的一组中能核反应,寻求对对称势强度的敏感量和研究反应最终是否达到平衡的问题.研究表明中子-质子差快度分布在弹或靶快度区对对称势强度敏感,且越丰中子的核系统越敏感.中子-质子差快度分布还表明能量为400MeV/u时达到的平衡程度要比100MeV/u时的高.出射的核子、轻带电粒子和中等质量碎片的N/Z显示IMF的出射有记忆效应.随着入射能量由100MeV/u增加到400MeV/u,IMF的N/Z有明显下降,这是由于随入射能量增加使IMF中同位素的分布发生变化所致.     

质子在碳化硅中不同深度的非电离能量损失

利用蒙特卡罗方法,应用Geant4程序,模拟计算了1—500 MeV质子在碳化硅材料中的非电离能量损失,并研究了不同种类的初级反冲原子对非电离能量损失的贡献.模拟结果表明:在相同质子辐照下,碳化硅材料中的非电离能量损失要比硅、镓等半导体材料更小,说明碳化硅器件的稳定性更好,抗位移损伤能力更强;当靶材料足够厚时,在不同能量质子辐照下,材料损伤最严重的区域会随着质子入射能量的增加从质子射程末端逐渐前移到材料表面;不同种类的初级反冲原子对非电离能量损失的贡献表明,在低能质子辐照下,28Si和~(12)C是位移损伤的主要原因,而随着质子能量的增加,通过核反应等过程产生的次级离子迅速增多,并对材料浅层造成严重的位移损伤.     

碳离子在不同材料叶片的多叶光栅上产生的次级粒子研究

在碳离子放射治疗中,碳离子束与治疗头设备和患者身体相互作用产生的次级粒子可以到达患者体内的许多区域,在产生的次级粒子中以中子和$\gamma $射线的产额为最大。在不影响束流配送功能的情况下,减少碳离子放疗中产生的次级中子和$\gamma $射线对于降低放疗后出现的正常组织并发症及二次肿瘤风险有着非常重要的意义。本文利用蒙特卡罗(Monte Carlo)方法模拟计算了被动式束流配送系统下,400 MeV/u碳离子束照射到由不同材料叶片构成的多叶光栅(MLC)形成典型的10 cm×10 cm方形射野时,在水模体中产生的次级中子和$\gamma $射线所沉积的剂量及空间分布等。模拟结果显示:碳离子束通过MLC形成射野后在水模体中产生的次级中子主要分布在水模体的入射端,次级$\gamma $射线较为均匀的分布在整个水模体内,且较多分布在具有展宽Bragg峰(SOBP)射野在水模体中贯穿时的坪区。对于MLC叶片材料的选择,则需根据实际情况对叶片厚度以及次级粒子当量剂量的要求来确定。本文通过模拟研究不同MLC叶片材料产生次级粒子的情况,为被动式束流配送系统中MLC叶片及其他元件的材料选择提供了科学依据。     

厚闪烁体内次级中子对快中子图像质量的影响研究

利用编制的快中子照相数值模拟程序(FNRSC)模拟计算了入射中子能量为14 MeV时,厚度5—300 mm闪烁体内次级中子对快中子图像质量的影响,结果表明闪烁体厚度d<50mm时,次级中子对图像的影响强烈依赖于闪烁体厚度,而当d>50 mm时,次级中子对图像的影响趋于饱和.将文献中利用蒙特卡罗中子-光子输运程序(MCNP)计算的次级中子对图像影响和文中计算结果进行了对比,给出了二者存在差异的主要原因：次级中子分布对入射中子空间分布的强烈依赖性;能量沉积和荧光输出这两种计算方法对 关键词： 14 MeV中子 快中子照相 次级中子 Monte Carlo模拟

为了更好地进行环境X/γ辐射剂量的测量,通过对电制冷高纯锗探测器蒙特卡罗建模获取0.01～1.5 MeV能量范围内的能谱和剂量（率）值,并利用无卷积全谱转换法进行能谱-剂量转换研究。研究发现,通过无卷积全谱转换法计算得到的剂量率与模拟剂量率符合较好;通过在中国计量研究院环境γ辐射空气吸收剂量标准辐射场中进行Co-60和Cs-137放射源剂量率实验验证,结果显示,在0.01～1.5 MeV的能量范围内,通过能谱-剂量转换得到剂量率与标准剂量率的误差小于±10%,这表明通过无卷积全谱转换法进行能谱-剂量（率）转换系数的求解是可行的。     

Evidence for azimuthal correlations in inelastic interactions of56Fe nuclei in emulsion at 2.5A GeV/c

Azimuthal correlations in angles between various types of charged secondary particles from inelastic interactions of relativistic⁵⁶Fe nuclei with the nuclei of nuclear emulsions have been investigated. It is observed that all types of charged secondaries produced are emitted asymmetrically in the azimuthal plane. The degree of azimuthal asymmetry increases with the decrease of impact parameter. We have also observed that particles belonging to different kinematical regions of the nucleus-nucleus interaction (intergroup correlation) have a tendency to be emitted to the opposite sides in the azimuthal plane.

Characteristics of alpha projectile fragments emission in interaction of nuclei with emulsion

The properties of the relativistic alpha fragments produced in interactions of ⁸⁴Kr at around 1 A GeV in nuclear emulsion are investigated. The experimental results are compared with the similar results obtained from various projectiles with emulsion interactions at different energies. The total, partial nuclear cross-sections and production rates of alpha fragmentation channels in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions and their dependence on the mass number and initial energy of the incident projectile nucleus are investigated. The yields of multiple alpha fragments emitted from the interactions of projectile nuclei with the nuclei of light, medium and heavy target groups of emulsion-detector are discussed and they indicate that the projectile-breakup mechanism seems to be free from the target mass number. It is found that the multiplicity distributions of alpha fragments are well described by the Koba-Nielsen-Olesen (KNO) scaling presentation. The mean multiplicities of the freshly produced or newly created charged secondary particles, normally known as shower and secondary particles associated with target in the events where the emission of alpha fragments were accompanied by heavy projectile fragments having Z ≥ 3 seem to be constant as the alpha fragments multiplicity increases, and exhibit a behavior independent of the alpha fragments multiplicity.     

Intermediate structure of the giant dipole resonance in 54Fe and 56Fe

The cross sections for the (γ, n) reaction on ⁵⁴Fe and ⁵⁶Fe for the high-energy component of the neutron spectrum have been investigated using a neutron spectrometer and a synchrotron with a photon energy range from 5 to 26.3 MeV. Neutron energy spectra have been measured. It is shown that the intermediate structure in the (γ, n) reaction cross section is due to high-energy neutrons and correlates with the structure in the neutron spectrum.     

The total charge-changing cross sections and the partial cross sections of 56Fe fragmentation on Al,C and CH2 targets

The total charge-changing cross sections and the partial cross sections of ⁵⁶Fe fragmentation on polyethylene, carbon and aluminum targets at the highest energy of 496 A MeV are investigated using CR-39 plastic nuclear track detector. The total charge-changing cross-section for hydrogen target is calculated based on the results of polyethylene and carbon targets. It is found that the total charge-changing cross sections for fragmentation of ⁵⁶Fe on hydrogen, carbon and aluminum targets are independent on the beam energy in our studied energies, and are consistent with the predictions of Bradt–Peter semi-empirical formula, Nilsen parameterized formula, NUCFRG2 and QMSFRG theoretical simulation codes. The partial cross sections for projectile fragment production are independent on beam energy in our studied energies for each targets and do not show a significant even-odd effect.     

Nuclear interactions of 21 GeV/c protons and 50 GeV/c negative pions in emulsions exposed in a strong magnetic field

Incoherent nuclear interactions of 21 GeV/c protons and 50 GeV/cπ ^?-mesons in emulsions exposed in a strong (180 kG) magnetic field have been investigated. The following topics are covered: the multiplicity of various types of charges secondaries, general features of one-particle rapidity and transverse momentum distributions, energy partitions among secondaries, characteristics of the leading particles and relativistic recoil protons, correlation relations. The experimental data are compared with predictions of current models of nuclear production.     

Mathematical simulation of few-nucleon experiments with three or more particles in the final state

A computer program for the kinematic simulation of nuclear reactions with three or more particles in the final state is described. Simulation results for the d + ²H → (nn)^S + (pp)^S → p + p + n + n reaction, which proceeds through the formation of a singlet dineutron and diproton in the intermediate state, are presented as an example. It is shown that the kinematic parameters of breakup particles depend on the parameters of the intermediate state. The results from simulating secondary neutron spectra are compared to an experimental neutron time-of-flight spectrum obtained in a kinematically complete experiment at a deuteron energy of 15 MeV. As a result of the comparison, the energy of the quasi-bound singlet ¹S₀ state of the ²n-system is determined.     

Interactions of relativistic heavy ions in thick heavy element targets and some unresolved problems

Interactions of relativistic heavy ions with total energies above 30 GeV in thick Cu and Pb targets (≥ 2 cm) have been studied with various techniques. Radiochemical irradiation experiments using thick Cu targets, both in a compact form or as diluted “2π-Cu targets” have been carried out with several relativistic heavy ions, such as 44 GeV ¹²C (JINR, Dubna, Russia) and 72 GeV ⁴⁰Ar (LBL, Berkeley, USA). Neutron measuring experiments using thick targets irradiated with various relativistic heavy ions up to 44 GeV ¹²C have been performed at the JINR. In addition, the number of “black prongs” in nuclear interactions (due to protons with energies less than 30 MeV and emitted from the target-like interaction partner at rest) produced with 72 GeV ²²Ne ions in nuclear emulsion plates has been measured in the first nuclear interaction of the primary ²²Ne ion and in the following second nuclear interaction of the secondary heavy (Z > 1) ion. Some essential results have been obtained. (1) Spallation products produced by relativistic secondary fragments in interactions ([44 GeV ¹²C or 72 GeV ⁴⁰Ar] + Cu) within thick copper yield fewer products close to the target and many more products far away from the target as compared to primary beam interactions. This applies also to secondary particles emitted into large angles (Θ > 10°). (2) The neutron production of 44 GeV ¹²C within thick Cu and Pb targets is beyond the estimated yield as based on experiments with 12 GeV ¹²C. These rather independent experimental results cannot be understood within well-accepted nuclear reaction models. They appear to present unresolved problems.

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.
