Properties of Zr hypernuclei in deformed Skyrme Hartree-Fock approach

Properties of the even-N Zr isotopes and their corresponding single-Λ and double-Λ hypernuclei are studied in the deformed Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach. Binding energy, the two-neutron separation energies, radii are studied from beta-stable zone to the neutron drip line in this paper. The neutron drip line nuclei predicted with SLy4 and SkI4 interactions are ¹²²Zr and ¹³⁸Zr, respectively. The neutron drip line of single-Λ and double-Λ hypernuclei are ¹³⁹_ΛZr and ¹⁴²_2ΛZr with SkI4 interaction, respectively. The predicted hyperon drip line hypernuclei with ⁸⁰Zr and ¹³⁸Zr cores are ¹⁰⁰_20ΛZr and ¹⁸⁸_50ΛZr, respectively.     

Effects of a kaonic meson on the ground-state properties of nuclei

The effects of an additional \begin{document}$K^-$\end{document} meson on the ground-state properties of nuclei are investigated within an axially-deformed Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach combined with a Skyrme-type kaon-nucleon interaction. The \begin{document}$K^-$\end{document} meson increases the binding energies of all nuclei, whereas it affects deformations only for light nuclei without shell closure. The nucleon drip lines are modified due to the strongly attractive \begin{document}$K^-N$\end{document} interaction. This is attributed to the behavior of the highest-occupied nucleon single-particle levels near the drip lines, which is analyzed in detail.     

11Be的能级翻转与它的平均场

讨论了单中子晕核¹¹Be的能级翻转现象,指出晕核的单中子分离能S_n与基态单中子的势阱内位置D_g之间存在明显差别.通过引进一种新的势阱——双MWS(Modified Woods-Saxon)势,首次在平均场的层次上再现了¹¹Be中2s_1/2轨道与1p^1/2轨道的翻转现象,而不再需要考虑当前普遍认为的组态混合解释.由此认为,奇中子晕核中的能级次序翻转,反映了其平均场与稳定核的相比较存在着显著的差异,从而导致晕核体系反常壳结构的出现.     

Experimental determination of one-and two-neutron separation energies for neutron-rich copper isotopes

A method is proposed to determine the one-neutron S_n or two-neutron S_(2n) separation energy of neutronrich isotopes.Relationships between S_n(S_(2n)) and isotopic cross sections have been deduced from an empirical formula,i.e.,the cross section of an isotope exponentially depends on the average binding energy per nucleon B/A.The proposed relationships have been verified using the neutron-rich copper isotopes measured in the 64 A Me V ~(86)Kr+~9Be reaction.S_n,S_(2n),and B/A for the very neutron-rich ~(77,78,79)Cu isotopes are determined from the proposed correlations.It is also proposed that the correlations between S_n,S_(2n) and isotopic cross sections can be used to find the location of neutron drip line isotopes.     

Mg,Si和S同位素链的壳反常

采用考虑轴向形变的相对论平均场理论,以双中子、双质子分离能隙δ_2n/δ_2p作为壳封闭的特征,分析了Mg,Si和S同位素链的壳封闭和壳反常,发现Mg同位素链在N=12,16处,Si同位素链在N=14,S同位素链在N?=16处出现明显的壳封闭结构,Si同位素链在N=28处壳层结构并没有消失.Mg,Si和S同位素链在N=20处壳效应并不太明显.     

Monte Carlo simulation of the property of a scintillation bar in the multi-neutron correlation spectrometer

To perform a kinematically complete measurement of the dissociation reaction for neutron-rich nuclei, a multi-neutron correlation spectrometer is proposed at Peking University. A Monte Carlo simulation code based on GEANT4 is developed for a single scintillation bar which processes not only the energy deposition but also the light propagation in the scintillator and the light collection and conversion to signal at the end of the bar in a realistic way. The simulating method is described in detail in this paper, and the timing and position resolutions and detector efficiency are studied based on the simulation and compared with the experimental results. A new method of crosstalk rejection has been demonstrated to be important for the design of the whole spectrometer.

奇奇核与奇A核n-p相互作用

从结合能实验值提取n-p相互作用能ε_ip-jn,系统比较了奇奇核单质子单中子相互作用能ε_1p-1n与相邻奇A核相应量的平均值,发现前者普遍大于后者.提出奇奇核n-p增强的解释为,GMshift效应和同类核子对关联对奇A核n-p相互作用的削弱效应.同时指出,奇质子核的ε_1p-2n相当好地近似等于同质量数奇中子核的ε_2p-1n,并且这与Garvey-Kelson关系是等价的.     

Density effect of the neutron halo nucleus induced reactions in intermediate energy heavy ion collisions

Using an isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model, we study the 15C induced reactions from 30-120 MeV/nucleon systematically. Here the valence neutron of 15C is assigned at both 1d5/2 and 2s1/2 states respectively in order to study the density effect of reaction mechanism. It is believed that the existent neutron halo structure at the 2s1/2 state of 15C will affect the light particle emission evidently. In our calculation, the different density distributions of 15C at two states are calculated by relativistic mean field (RMF) model and introduced in the initiation of IQMD model, respectively. It is found that some observables such as emission fragmentation multiplicity, emission neutron/proton ratio and emission neutrons’ kinetic energy spectrum are sensitive to the initial density distribution.     

丰中子核中的中子势能特性

利用Skyrme-Hartree-Fock势和Woods-Saxon势,选取稳定核⁴⁸Ca和丰中子核⁶⁰Ca,对中子平均场势能进行了研究,并给出了其特性.发现丰中子核⁶⁰Ca的SHF势与Woods-Saxon势在核表面区域相当符合,但在核表面以外有相当大的差距.SHF势在表面以外部分比表面区域呈现出更大的弥散度,而原有的Woods-Saxon势不能描述这一特征.为此,对Woods-Saxon势形式进行了修正,经过验证,修正的Woods-Saxon势能正确地描述丰中子核的中子晕特性.     

Neutron Halos in the Excited States of Spherical Nuclei Near the β-Stable Line

The newly discovered neutron halos in the excited states of nuclei 12B, 13C, and 209pb are studied by therelativistic mean-field theory. The calculated binding energies are very close to the experimental ones. The experimentally extracted root-mean-square radii of the last neutron with different occupations in nuclei are well reproduced bycalculations. New candidates for the neutron halos in excited states are predicted and are useful for further search ofneutron halos in the excited states of stable nuclei.     

Semi-empirical formula for Λ-binding energies in ground states of light hypernuclei

Starting with a Λ-nucleus potential, we have obtained a semi-empirical formula, which gives a fairly satisfactory account of the ground state Λ-binding energy of light hypernuclei, if the very light nuclei are ignored.     

Neutron star equation of state in density dependent relativistic Hartree-Fock theory

The equation of state of neutron stars is studied in the newly developed density dependent relativistic Hartree-Fock (DDRHF) theory with the effective interaction PKO1 and applied to describe the properties of neutron stars. The results are compared with the recent observational data of compact stars and those calculated with the relativistic mean field (RMF) effective interactions. The maximum mass of neutron stars calculated with PKO1 is about 2.45 M_⊙, which consists with high pulsar mass from PSR B1516+02B recently reported. The influence of Fock terms on the cooling of neutron stars is discussed as well.     

Density effect of the neutron halo nucleus induced reactions in intermediate energy heavy ion collisions

Using an isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model, we study the ¹⁵C induced reactions from 30—120 MeV/nucleon systematically. Here the valence neutron of ¹⁵C is assigned at both 1d 5/2 and 2s 1/2 states respectively in order to study the density effect of reaction mechanism. It is believed that the existent neutron halo structure at the 2s 1/2 state of ¹⁵C will affect the light particle emission evidently. In our calculation, the different density distributions of ¹⁵C at two states are calculated by relativistic mean field (RMF) model and introduced in the initiation of IQMD model, respectively. It is found that some observables such as emission fragmentation multiplicity, emission neutron/proton ratio and emission neutrons' kinetic energy spectrum are sensitive to the initial density distribution.     

双原子分子激发态势能的自旋相关局域Hartree-Fock密度泛函理论方法

基于自旋相关局域Hartree-Fock (SLHF)势函数,本文提出了一种计算双原子分子激发态势能的密度泛函理论(DFT)方法,并将该方法应用于和的激发态势能曲线的计算。在只考虑交换能的情况下,本文的DFT计算结果与文献中精确方法和Hartree-Fock (HF)方法的结果符合的非常好,说明采用SLHF势函数作为交换势的DFT方法是一个很好的计算激发态势能的方法。本文还计算和探讨了电子的关联势函数和关联能,发现传统的近似方法在较大核间距的情况下大大低估了电子的关联能.     

Ground state structure of some double-λ hypernuclei by a three-body model using a simple coordinate space approach

New experimental data on the binding energyB _λλ of_λλ6He, reported very recently, come up with the valuesB _λλ = 725 ±0.14 MeV and ΔB_λλ = 101 ±0.2 MeV which are substantially lower than the old dataB _λλ = 109 ±0.8 MeV and ΔB_λλ = 4.7±10 MeV in use in literature since 1966. In view of the new data we decided to undertake a re-study of the _λλ ⁶ He hypernucleus using the same three-body model (α-λ-λ) with a simple coordinate space variational approach which was employed earlier with the old data on_λλ/6He. After fitting different λ-λ potentials to the new data of _λλ ⁶ He we have applied our method to study some double-λ hypernuclei in light, medium and heavy mass regions and have determined the structural quantities like Bλλ, the r.m.s. values of core-λ (〈r_core-λ〉〉) and λ-λ (〈r_λ-λ〉〉) distances theoretically. The core-λ interaction considered is of Woods-Saxon type. The strength and the range of the core-A potential have been adjusted to reproduce the λ-binding energy(B _λ) . These are in good agreement with the relativistic mean field (RMF) results. Our study shows that the λ-λ bonding energy ΔB_λλ decreases with increasing mass number from _λλ ¹⁰ Be to _λλ ²¹⁰ Pb of a double-A hypernucleus

Revisit to Two-Proton Radioactivity of 19Mg and Observation of Two-Proton Decay of 30Ar

An experiment aimed to investigate the two-proton (2p) decay of the previously unknown nucleus 30Ar was performed at GSI: By tracking the decay products in-flight with silicon micro-strip detectors, the 2p decays of 30Ar were observed for the first time. For the calibration purpose, 2p decays of 19Mg were also remeasured by tracking the coincident 17Ne+p+p trajectories. By comparing the measured angular p-17Ne correlations with those obtained from the corresponding Monte Carlo simulations, the simultaneous 2p decay of 19Mg ground state and the sequential 2p emission of several known excited states of 19Mg were confirmed. One new excited state in 19Mg and two new excited states in 18Na were observed.     

Recalibration of the binding energy of hypernuclei measured in emulsion experiments and its implications

The Λ separation energy for Λ hypernuclei,denoted B_Λ,measured in 1967,1968,and 1973 are recalibrated using the current best estimates of the mass of particles and nuclei.The recalibrated B_Λ are systematically larger(except in the case of _Λ~6He) than the originally published values by about 100 keV.The effect of this level of recalibration is very important for light hypemuclei,especially for the hypertriton.The early B_Λ values measured in1967,1968,and 1973 are widely used in theoretical research,and the new results provide better constraints for the conclusions of such studies.
