Near-threshold positron-impact ionization of atomic hydrogen

We consider the positron-impact ionization (breakup) of atomic hydrogen utilizing the full and S-wave model calculations, concentrating on the near-threshold energy region. Unlike the corresponding electron-impact case, the S-wave model does support the Wannier-like threshold law predicted by Ihra et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 4027 (1997)10.1103/PhysRevLett.78.4027]. It is found that convergent S-wave model cross sections are obtained only if complete expansions are utilized on both the atomic and the positronium centers. Furthermore, we suggest that, in the model and full calculations, the separate contributions to the breakup cross section from both centers become equal at threshold.     

Second-order breakup corrections to elastic deuteron-nickel scattering between 13 and 80 MeV

Breakup corrections to the elastic scattering matrix elements are calculated in the second-order distorted-wave Born approximation at deuteron incident energies of 45 and 85 MeV. The effects of spin are included. The size of the corrections are found to be generally as large as those obtained in a previous study at 13 and 21.6 MeV. The breakup cross section is calculated to first order in the breakup matrix elements by a distorted-wave Born treatment. Comparison with fully coupled calculations shows that the DWBA method overestimates the breakup cross section by a factor of about three.The continuum of breakup states up to a n-p relative momentum 1 fm^?1 is included in the calculations. This continuum is discretized by subdividing it first into two bins, and then into four bins. The finer discretization does not make a large difference in either the elastic cross section or the breakup cross sections. The higher bins give only a small contribution to either quantity.     

Cross Section Enhancement in pd Reactions at Higher Energy

Cross sections of pd breakup reaction at E _p = 250 MeV were measured systematically in single-proton detection and in two-proton coincidence detection. Measured cross section is up to two times higher than calculated ones. The enhancement of breakup cross section is similar to reported enhancement in pd elastic scattering cross section. Origins of this enhancement are discussed.     

Cross sections for the n+d breakup reaction

The n+d breakup cross section has been measured between 8 and 22 MeV by integrating the energy distributions of breakup protons and recoil deuterons observed in a deuterated scintillator. The results obtained deviate from the trend suggested by recent measurements of the cross section for proton-induced breakup and favour predictions based on a local N-N potential having a hard core in the singlet state.     

Breakup Reactions of Drip-Line Nuclei Near N = 20, 28

The one-neutron removal cross section from ²⁹Ne, ^33,35,37Mg, and ^39,41Si on a Pb target have been measured at around 240 MeV/nucleon at the RIBF (RI-Beam Factory) at RIKEN. This main goal of the experiment was to extract the inclusive Coulomb breakup cross sections in order to probe possible halo structures through their enhanced low-energy E1 strengths - so-called soft E1 excitations. The results showed significant enhancement of the one-neutron removal Coulomb breakup cross section for ³⁷Mg. This in turn provides evidence for the existence of halo structure in ³⁷Mg.

Energy dependence of11Li dissociation cross section

The Coulomb breakup cross section of¹¹Li is calculated as a function of its bombarding energy. Comparison is made to cross sections at 790 MeV/nucleon and 30 MeV/nucleon. Low energy reactions on a high-Z target show a greatly enhanced Coulomb breakup cross section that is more sensitive to the distribution of dipole response strength than high energy reactions thus providing more structure information.     

Reactions with Weakly Bound Nuclei,at near Barrier Energies,and the Breakup and Transfer Influences on the Fusion and Elastic Scattering

We present a brief review of the reaction mechanisms involved in collisions of weakly bound projectiles with tightly bound targets, at near-barrier energies. We discuss systematic behaviors of the data, with emphasis in fusion, breakup, nucleon transfer and elastic scattering. The dependence of the breakup cross section on the charge and mass of the target is discussed, and the influence of the breakup channel on complete fusion is investigated. For this purpose, we compare reduced fusion cross sections with a benchmark universal curve. The behaviors observed in the comparisons are explained in terms of polarization potentials and of nucleon transfer followed by breakup. The influence of the breakup process on elastic scattering is also discussed. Some apparent contradictions between results of different authors are explained and some perspectives of the field are presented.     

Unstable states produced in multiparticle reactions

Normalized wavefunctions for unstable-particle states are constructed to meet the following physically plausible specifications. The wavefunctions of such states should enter into the theoretical production cross section in the same manner as the boundstate wavefunctions of stable particles. The cross section for the production of an unstable particle should be equal to the breakup cross section integrated over the resonance minus the background. For this purpose the multiparticle reaction cross section is brought into a form such that final-state resonances and interference corrections can be exhibited explicitly. The present theory is limited to unstable particles that decay into one or several two-body channels. For heuristic purposes, rearrangement and breakup scattering for three simple particles is treated numerically. For two particles interacting via a local potential, the wavefunction of the unstable state and the scattering phase shifts are computed with a simple algebraic technique. In order to treat complex multiparticle systems, we extend the resonance theory of simple two-particle systems to resonances in multiparticle two-body channels.     

Soft dipole mode in the 11Li nucleus within the asymptotic-potential approximation

A soft dipole mode in the ¹¹Li nucleus treated within the microscopic three-cluster model is studied in the asymptotic-potential approximation. The model faithfully reproduces the energy and the root-means-quare radius of the ground state and the behavior of the effective photodisintegration cross section at low energies above the threshold for ¹¹Li breakup, suggesting the existence of two resonance states in this region.     

Sub-barrier interaction between deuterons and 58, 62Ni nuclei

The interaction between deuterons and ^{58, 62}Ni nuclei at energies of E _d = 3.5, 4.5 and 5.16 MeV is investigated. The discrepancy between measured scattering elastic cross section and the Rutherford ones is higher than the value calculated theoretically by considering deuterons polarization and Coulomb breakup. Analysis of measured cross section of ^{58, 62}Ni(d, p) reaction and the results of calculation of Coulomb breakup cross section integrated over neutron emission angles shows that that the dominant mechanism of proton formation is the reaction of neutron transfer to the target nucleus.     

Selectivity of the nucleon-induced deuteron breakup and relativistic effects

Theoretical predictions for the nucleon-induced deuteron breakup process based on solutions of the three-nucleon Faddeev equation including such relativistic features as the relativistic kinematics and boost effects are presented. Large changes of the breakup cross section in some complete configurations are found at higher energies. The predicted relativistic effects, which are mostly of dynamical origin, seem to be supported by existing data.     

Systematic Measurement of pd Breakup Cross Section Around Space Star

Space Star (SS) anomaly in nd breakup cross section was first reported in 1989 at E _n = 13 MeV (Strate et al. in Nucl Phys A 501:51, 1989), but its origin has not been found yet. In order to obtain suggestions for its origin, we made systematic measurements of pd breakup cross section around SS. In SS configuration, three outgoing nucleons form an equilateral triangle and the triangle is perpendicular to the beam axis. Necessity of the equilateral and perpendicular conditions of SS anomaly was investigated by systematic experiments. Also energy dependence of SS anomaly is being studied at energies from E _p = 7.5 to 13 MeV.     

Angular momentum and cross sections for fusion with weakly bound nuclei: breakup,a coherent effect

Results for the cross section and average angular momentum for complete fusion at energies around the Coulomb barrier are presented for 7Li with 165Ho. Comparison of the cross sections with a one-dimensional barrier penetration model, using a potential consistent with the measured elastic scattering, showed a reduction above the barrier and an enhancement below it. An increase in the measured average angular momentum, , above the barrier and its consistency with that obtained from the fusion excitation function for weakly bound nuclei, is reported. These results together with a reanalysis of existing data conclusively demonstrate that the effect of breakup on fusion is coherent, like coupling to any nonelastic channel.     

Finite Range Effects on Fusion and/or Breakup of ^6He^＋238U and ^11Li＋^208pb Systems

We have studied the effects of the finite range of the interaction between the fragments of the projectile on the fusion and/or breakup of ⁶He+²³⁸U and ¹¹Li+²⁰⁸Pb systems at near barrier energies within the framework of dynamic polarization potential approach. It has been found that at near barrier energies the maximum flux is lost to the breakup channel and at energies well above the Coulomb barrier the fusion coupled with the breakup channel opens up, initially with sharp rise and later becoming saturated at energy nearly twice of theCoulomb barrier. Further, it is found that the breakup cross section increases with the increasing range of the interaction between the fragments of the projectile while the fusion coupled with the breakup channel cross section decreases with the increasing range.     

Effects of E2 and El-E2 Interference on Coulomb Dissociation of 19C

We investigate the effects of higher order multipole transitions, in particular electric quadrupole （E2） and El-E2 interference, on the Coulomb dissociation of 19 C within the framework of the first order eikonal approximation. The sensitivity of the total Coulomb breakup cross section and the longitudinal momentum distribution of the core fragment to these effects are checked. The breakup occurs predominately through the dipole transition and the contribution of E2 transition to the total cross section is found to be within the range from 1 to 3% of that of El. It is further observed that the El-E2 interference term contributes nothing to the integrated cross section. On the other hand, the longitudinal momentum distribution is observed to be insensitive to the E2 transition while the El-E2 interference introduces a small asymmetry in its shape.     

Measurement of mutual coulomb dissociation in sqrt[s(NN)] = 130 GeV Au + Au collisions

We report on the first measurement of mutual Coulomb dissociation in heavy-ion collisions. We employ forward calorimeters to measure neutron multiplicity at beam rapidity. The cross section for simultaneous electromagnetic breakup of Au nuclei at a nucleon-nucleon center of mass energy sqrt[s(NN)] = 130 GeV is sigma(MCD) = 3.67+/-0.26 barns, which is comparable to the geometrical cross section. The ratio of the electromagnetic to the total cross section is in good agreement with calculations, as is the neutron multiplicity distribution.     

中国散裂中子源在大气中子单粒子效应研究中的应用评估

由于缺少可用的散裂中子源,多年来我国在大气中子单粒子效应方面主要依靠模拟仿真和单能中子试验的方式开展研究.随着中国散裂中子源(CSNS)通过国家验收,基于CSNS开展大气中子单粒子效应研究成为可能.本文利用CSNS反角白光中子源开展多款静态随机存取存储器器件的中子单粒子效应试验,并与早期开展的高原大气试验结果进行对比,对CSNS在大气中子单粒子效应研究中的应用进行评估.结果表明,相同器件在CSNS反角白光中子源测得的单粒子翻转截面小于大气试验的结果,且不同器件的翻转截面与特征尺寸没有明显的单调关系.分析得到前者由于CSNS反角白光中子谱偏软;后者由于特征尺寸降低导致的临界电荷变小和灵敏体积变小对截面的贡献是竞争关系.针对截面偏小的问题,根据能谱差异分析了中子能量阈值对器件翻转截面的影响,发现能量阈值取12MeV进行计算时,器件在CSNS反角白光中子源和高原大气中子环境中能够得到较一致的截面.研究结果表明CSNS反角白光中子源能够用于加速大气中子单粒子效应试验.考虑到CSNS的运行功率正在逐步提高,且多条规划中的白光中子束线与大气中子能谱更为接近,预期未来CSNS将能更好地应用于大气中子单粒子效应研究.
