Fine structure ofαdecay in222Pa

With the help of the gas-filled recoil spectrometer SHANS and a digital data acquisition system,the fine structure of the α decay for²²²Pa was studied.The nuclides were produced through the 1p3n evaporation channel via the heavy-ion induced fusion evaporation reaction ⁴⁰Ar+¹⁸⁶W.Based on the ER-α1-α2-α3 andα-γcorrelation measurement,three new α decays were observed in addition to the three branches known previously.The one with the largestαdecay energy was regarded as the ground state to ground state transition.The newly measuredαdecay properties of ²²²Pa were examined in a framework of reduced width.     

Doublet bands in 128La and systematic features of energy separationof doublet bands observed in the A～130 mass region

High spin states of 128La have been studied through the fusion-evaporation reaction 118Sn(14N,4n) 128La at a beam energy of 69 MeV. A positive-parity side band with the same configuration as that of the yrast band has been identified. Moreover, it is noted that the energy separation △E(I) = E(I)side-E(I)yrast of all doublet bands reported in odd-odd nuclei in the A～130 mass region exhibit a staggering pattern systematically, and they stagger up at even-spin and stagger down at odd-spin.

The study of B→K()l+l- decays in family non-universal Z' models

In a combined investigation of B→K^(*)l⁺l^- decays, constraints on the related couplings in family non-universal Z' models are derived. We find that within the allowed parameter space, the recently observed forward-backward asymmetry in the B→K^(*)l⁺l^- decay can be explained by flipping the signs of the Wilson coefficients C₉^eff and C₁₀. With the obtained constraints, we also calculate the branching ratio of the B_s→μ⁺μ^- decay. The upper bound of our prediction is nearly an order of magnitude smaller than the upper bound given by the CDF Collaboration recently.     

The study of B→K*l+l- decays in family non-universal Z′ models

In a combined investigation of B → K ( * ) l + l - decays, constraints on the related couplings in family non-universal Z′ models are derived. We find that within the allowed parameter space, the recently observed forward-backward asymmetry in the B → K * l + l - decay can be explained by flipping the signs of the Wilson coefficients C eff 9 and C 10 . With the obtained constraints, we also calculate the branching ratio of the B s →μ + μ - decay. The upper bound of our prediction is nearly an order of magnitude smaller than the upper bound given by the CDF Collaboration recently.     

Correlation and polarization characteristics of the 40Ca(p, dπ+)39K reaction

The ⁴⁰Ca(p, dπ⁺)³⁹K reaction was studied theoretically at a proton energy of 650 MeV within the distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA) and under the assumption of a quasi-free mechanism of the elementary process pp → dπ⁺ of pion production. The peripheral nature of the reaction on the nucleus was shown. The influence of the effects of distortions in the initial and final states of the reaction on the differential cross section and other spin-dependent characteristics are discussed.     

Pure annihilation type decays B0→Ds- （K2*）+ and Bs →a2 in the perturbative QCD approach

We calculate the branching ratios of pure annihilation type decays B 0 →D_s^- （K₂^*）⁺ and Bs → a₂ using the perturbative QCD approach based on k T factorization. The branching ratios are predicted to be （60.6 +17.3+4.3+3.2 16.5 10.4 2.1 ）× 10^-6 for B⁰ →D_s^- （K₂^*）⁺ , （1.1 +0.4+0.1+0.1-0.4-0.2-0.1 ）×10-6 for Bs → ⁰a₂⁰ and （2.3 +0.8+0.2+0.1-0.8-0.4-0.1 ）×10-6 for Bs→D^-a₂⁺ . They are large enough to be measured in the ongoing experiment. Due to the shortage of contributions from penguin operators, there are no direct CP asymmetries for these decays in the Standard Model. We also derive simple relations among these decay channels to reduce theoretical uncertainties for the experiments, to test the accuracy of theory, and to search for a signal of new physics.     

Mixing of two-quasineutron and two-quasiproton Kπ=6+ configurations in the vicinity of 174Yb

In the framework of the projected shell model, we investigate the competition between the two-quasineutron and two-quasiproton K^π=6⁺ states in the ytterbium isotopes and N =104 isotones adjacent to ¹⁷⁴Yb. The ¹⁷⁴Yb results are compared with the experimental data.The K^π =6⁺ isomer observed in ¹⁷⁴ Yb is assigned as an admixture of the ν7/2^-[514] ν5/2^-[512] and π7/2⁺ [404]π5/2⁺ [402] intrinsic structure, which explains the experimental |g K-g R | value. Similar mixing would appear in ¹⁷⁴ Yb, ¹⁷⁶ Hf,and ¹⁷⁸ W. The low-lying K^π=6⁺ states are also predicted in ^170-178 Yb.     

Effects of the vibrational and rotational excitation of reagent on the stereodynamics of the reaction S（3P） + H2→ SH + H

Quasiclassical trajectory （QCT） calculations are first carried out to study the stereodynamics of the S （3p） ＋ H2 → SH ＋ H reaction based on the ab initio 13Atr potential energy surface （PES） （Lii etal. 2012 J. Chem. Phys. 136 094308）. The QCT-calculated reaction probabilities and cross sections for the S ＋ H2 （v = 0, j = 0） reaction are in good agreement with the previous quantum mechanics （QM） results. The vector properties including the alignment, orientation, and polarization- dependent differential cross sections （PDDCSs） of the product SH are presented at a collision energy of 1.8 eV. The effects of the vibrational and rotational excitations of reagent on the stereodynamics are also investigated and discussed in the present work. The calculated QCT results indicate that the vibrational and rotational excitations of reagent play an important role in determining the stereodynamic properties of the title reaction.     

Study of K*(892)0andФ(1020)meson production in proton–proton and Pb–Pb collisions at√SNN=2.76 TeV

In this paper,we describe a study of charged particle yield as a function of pT for K^*(892)0 and phgr(1020)mesons in proton–proton(pp)and Pb–Pb collisions at√S_NN=2.76 TeV in the central rapidity region of|y|<0.5,in a pT range of 0?1in pp collisions and in a pT range of 0NN=2.76 TeV.It was concluded that the models'predictions for the phgr-meson in pp and for the most central Pb-Pb collisions disagreed with the ALICE data,and that the difference increased with pT.This may be connected with the essential role of collective parton behaviors which could not have been taken into account by the models.For K^*0 mesons,both programs gave almost the same predictions,and with pT in the interval pT>3 GeV c^?1,the predictions were very close to the experimental data.Both models gave higher predictions for the soft pT interval and lower predictions for the hard interactions.The values of the RAA distributions were lower than unity and both models were very close to the ALICE data.It is very interesting that the models were not able to describe the pT distributions,but they gave good predictions for their ratios.This may possibly be due to parton collective behaviors.We observed some additional suppression of K^*0 at low values of pT with respect to phgr-mesons,which may be related to the role of the masses of the particles in soft interactions.The rising trend for R_AAin the region from pT=10 GeV c^?1to 20 GeV c^?1 observed by the ALICE experiment was absent for theФ-mesons.     

Search for and study of low-mass scalar mesons in reaction np → npπ+π? at neutron beam momentum Pn = (5.20 ± 0.12) GeV/c

We present the results of a search for and study of the resonance effects in the system of π⁺π⁻ from the reaction np → npπ⁺π⁻ at the momentum of quasi-monochromatic neutrons P _n = (5.20 ± 0.12) GeV/c from the data obtained in an exposure of the 1-m hydrogen bubble chamber of Veksler and Baldin Laboratory of High Energies, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (VBLHE JINR). After the supplementary selection of the events where a secondary proton was emitted in the forward hemisphere in the general c.m.s. of the reaction (cosθ* _p > 0) in the effective mass spectrum of π⁺π⁻ combinations, we found nine peculiarities at the masses (350 ± 3), (408 ± 3), (489 ± 3), (579 ± 5), (676 ± 7), (762 ± 11), (878 ± 7), (1036 ±13), and (1170 ± 11) MeV/c ² with experimental widths of no more than several tens of MeV/c ². We carried out a direct measurement of the spins of resonances and also obtained other quantum numbers. All of these peculiarities have a similar set of quantum numbers I ^G (J ^PC ) = 0⁺ (0⁺⁺). We investigated a sequence of scalar-isoscalar resonances f ₀(σ₀) with masses in the range M ≤ 1200 MeV/c ². We found a phenomenological dependence of the resonance mass on its number. This dependence covered not only the resonances shown in this paper, but also those present in PDG tables with quantum numbers of f ₀(σ₀) mesons.     

Theoretical study of stereodynamics for the reaction O（3P）+D2（v= 0,j=0） → OD+D and isotope effect

Quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) calculations have been performed to study the product polarization behaviours in the reaction O(3P) + D2 (v = 0, j = 0) → OD + D. By running trajectories on the 3A and 3A potential energy surfaces (PESs), vector correlations such as the distributions of the polarization-dependent differential cross sections (PDDCSs), the angular distributions of P (θr) and P (φr) are presented. Isotope effect is discussed in this work by a comprehensive comparison with the reaction O(3P) + H2 (v = 0, j = 0) → H + H. Common characteristics as well as differences are discussed in product alignment and orientation for the two reactions. The isotope mass effect differs on the two potential energy surfaces: the isotope mass effect has stronger influence on P (θr) and PDDCSs of the 3A PES while the opposite on P (φr) of the 3A potential energy surface.     

α-cluster structure of 12C and 16O in the covariant density functional theory with a shell-model-like approach

The α-cluster structures for ¹²C and ¹⁶O are investigated in the framework of the covariant density functional theory, where the pairing correlation is treated with a particle number conserving shell-model-like approach. The ground states of ¹²C and ¹⁶O have been calculated and the density distributions demonstrate an equilateral triangle 3α clustering for ¹²C and a regular tetrahedron 4α clustering for ¹⁶O. The existence of linear nα chain structure of both ¹²C and ¹⁶O is revealed at high quadrupole deformation.     

Quasi-classical trajectory study of the isotope effect on the stereodynamics in the reaction H（2S） + CH（X2Π;u= 0,j= 1） → C（1D） + H2（X1Σg+）

The isotope effect on the stereodynamic properties in the title reaction is investigated by a quasi-classical trajectory(QCT) method on the 11A potential energy surface at a collision energy of 23.06 kcal/mol. The angular distributions P(θr),P(φr), P(θr, φr), and the polarization-dependent generalized differential cross sections are calculated, which demonstrate the observable influences on the rotational polarization of the product by the isotopic substitution of H with D.
