Bayesian evaluation of energy dependent neutron induced fission yields

From both the fundamental and applied perspectives, fragment mass distributions are important observables of fission. We apply the Bayesian neural network(BNN) approach to learn the existing neutron induced fission yields and predict unknowns with uncertainty quantification. Comparing the predicted results with experimental data, the BNN evaluation results are found to be satisfactory for the distribution positions and energy dependencies of fission yields. Predictions are made for the fragment ...     

Isotopic distributions of Rb and Cs in the proton and neutron induced fission of 238U

The statistical model for fission is used to calculate the isotopic distribution of Rb and Cs in the fission of ²³⁸U induced by high-energy protons and reactor neutrons. The double-humped behaviour of the isotope yield curve as observed in high-energy proton-induced fission and the experimentally observed hump on the neutron-rich side in neutron-induced fission are semi-quantitatively reproduced.     

Form factor dependence of proton induced deuteron breakup at low energy

Yields and energy spectra of light charged particles emitted in neutron induced fission of235U

The yields and energy spectra of light charged particles emitted in the fission of²³⁵U have been measured in the neutron energy range of 100 keV to 1 MeV. The yield of long range alpha particles is found to increase around 200 keV neutron energy compared to thermal fission. A low energy component observed in the energy spectrum was assigned to the tritons emitted in fission. The yield of this triton component is seen to have a marked increase around 500 keV. These results indicate that LCP yield is influenced by the transition state level characteristics.     

Coulomb effects in low energy fission

The structures in the total kinetic energy (TKE) distributions in cold fission of²³⁴U and²³⁶U are interpreted in terms of the Coulomb interaction energy (C) between fragments at the scission point. The maximal value ofC, C _max, corresponding to the most compact scission configuration, is calculated for several mass fragmentations. It is shown that withQ being constant,C _max increases if one increases the charge asymmetry for a given primary fragmentation. This condition produces oscillations with a period of approximately 5 amu ofC _max as a function of the light fragment mass which are correlated with the observed oscillations of the maximal value of TKE. Moreover, the enhancement of the yields of the more asymmetric charge fragmentation for a given fragmentation is explained.

Photo and electroluminescence properties in Zns: (Cu,La) and Zns: (Ag,La) phosphors

A method for preparation of ZnS: (Cu, La) and ZnS: (Ag, La) phosphors is described. Photo and electroluminescence of these phosphors have been studied. The voltage and frequency variation of EL brightness have also been reported. The results agree with the collision-excitation mechanism in the Schottky barrier. The emission of blue, green and yellow bands has been interpreted in terms of different electronic transitions. Simultaneous action of both the field and the 3650 Å radiation has been studied. An attempt has also been made to explain the quenching and enhancement.     

Neutron dose distribution from 12C induced reactions on Ti and Ag using proton recoil scintillator

We measured the double differential neutron yield at 0°, 30°, 60° and 90° from ¹²C⁵⁺ induced reactions on thick targets of Ti and Ag at 12 MeV/amu at the Cyclotron at National Institute of Radiological Sciences, Inage, Japan, with 5″ × 5″ proton recoil scintillation detectors BC-501. The measured neutron spectra were unfolded using pulse height unfolding algorithm and energy and angular distribution obtained. Energy distribution of neutron ambient dose equivalent, H*(10) and absorbed dose, D at different angles was determined from double differential neutron spectra using ICRP recommended fluence to dose conversion coefficients.     

Mass and kinetic energy distribution in cold fission of233U,235U and239Pu induced by thermal neutrons

The time-of-flight technique was used to measure the mass and kinetic energy distribution of fragments from fission of²³³U,²³⁵U and²³⁹Pu, induced by thermal neutrons at the Grenoble High Flux Reactor. The data array is presented as equal probability lines in the high kinetic energy regions. The fluctuations observed in those experimental lines are explained by a static scission configuration model, in which the most important influence comes from the Coulomb interaction energy between the two fragments. The highest values of total kinetic energy are obtained for fragmentations with heavy fragmentsZ=50–52,N=80–82 and light fragmentsZ=40–42,N=60–64.

(La,Ce,Tb)(PO4,BO3)的光谱特性研究

本文合成制备了(La,Ce,Tb)(PO4,BO3)(Gp)绿色发光材料,比较了CeMgAl11O19:Tb(GA1)和Gp在室温下的发光、激发光谱的差异,Gp的5D4-7F5跃迁谱线的半宽度及相对强度均小于GA1,而5D4-7F3、5D4-7F3跃迁谱线的相对强度则大于GA1.激发光谱的差异主要是Gp的激发带强度高于GA1,自310nm后明显升高,在313nm处的强度比GA1提高近3倍,在351、369、377nm处的强度也比GA1分别提高近2.3-3.3倍,分析井讨论了Gp和GA1在发光、激发光谱上的差异对材料发光性能的影响.发光光谱的差异引起Gp发光色坐标的x值比GA1大,而y值变小.激发光谱的差异使得Gp在254nm激发下的发光亮度高于GA1,在313、365nm激发下的发光亮度则明显高于GA1.本文还讨论发La、Ce比对Gp发光性能的影响,只有在Ce的含量为0情况下,Gp的发光性能才显著变化.     

Collective bounce-off phenomenon in139La+Ag(Br) reaction at 1.1 A GeV energy

Out of a total statistics of 896¹³⁹La+Ag(Br) interactions, 128 interactions having multiplicity of target fragments (Z⩾1)⩾8 and projectile fragments (Z⩾2)⩾4 have been selected. They correspond to quasi-peripheral interactions. Azimuthal angle correlation between sources of target fragments (TFs) and projectile fragments (PFs) shows the existence of bounce-off effect. Using data of La+Ag(Br) and⁸⁴Kr+Ag(Br) reactions it is shown that individual helium [Z=2, PFs] and heavier fragment [Z⩾3, PFs] show different emission characteristics. Further, a two prong correlation functionT(Φ _ij ) plotted for heavier fragments and helium fragments separately, indicates the possibility of existence of different physical conditions. This observation is supported by the different momentum widths of helium fragments and heavier fragments. From the momentum width data of Kr+Ag(Br) reactions normalized density comes out to be ≈4.7. Using quasi-elastic kinematics for the bounce-off nuclei, the excitation energy has been computed from the experimental data of flow angles. The strength of bounce-off seems to decrease with the increase of excitation energy or temperature.     

Cascade-exciton model analysis of level density parameter dependence in proton induced fission cross sections of some sub-actinide nuclei

Fission cross sections strongly depend on the ratio of the level density parameter in fission to neutron emission, a_f/a_n. In this work, a cascade-exciton model implemented in the code CEM95 has been used to observe this effect for proton induced fission cross sections of tungsten, lead and bismuth. The method was employed using different level density parameter ratios for each fission cross section calculation. The calculated fission cross sections are compared with the available experimental data in the literature. It has been observed that a change of the ratio of the level density parameter, a_f/a_n, is necessary with the incident energy of the proton, to best estimate the fission cross sections in CEM95.     

Fission modes in charged-particle induced fission

The population of the three fission modes predicted by Brosa's multi-channel fission model for the uranium region was studied in different fissioning systems. They were produced bombarding²³²Th and²³⁸U targets by light charged particles with energies slightly above the Coulomb barrier. Though the maximum excitation energy of the compound nucleus amounted to about 22 MeV, the influences of various spherical and deformed nuclear shells on the mass and total kinetic energy distributions of fission fragments are still pronounced. The larger variances of the total kinetic energy distributions compared to those of thermal neutron induced fission were explained by temperature dependent fluctuations of the amount and velocity of alteration of the scission point elongation of the fissioning system. From the ratio of these variances the portion of the potential energy dissipated among intrinsic degrees of freedom before scission was deduced for the different fission channels. It was found that the excitation remaining after pre-scission neutron emission is mainly transferred into intrinsic heat and less into pre-scission kinetic energy.
