Analysis of Neutron Double-Differential Cross Section of n＋^14N at 14.2 MeV

Abstract By using a new reaction model for light nuclei, the double-differential cross section of n ^14N reactions at En=14.2 MeV has been analyzed. In the case of n ^14N reactions, the reaction mechanism is very complex, there are over one hundred opened partial reaction channels even at incident energy En=14.2 MeV. In this paper the opened reaction channels are listed in detail. With LUNF code the model calculation is performed to analyze the doubledifferential cross sections of total outgoing neutron. The calculated results agree fairly with the experimental data. The results indicate that the pre-equilibrium mechanism dominates the whole reaction processes, and the recoil egect in light nuclear reactions is essentially important. 5He emission has been considered, but it is only a small contribution to thedouble-differential cross section at incident energy En=14.2 MeV.     

Theoretical Analysis of Neutron Double-Differential Cross Section of n ＋^19F at 14.2 MeV

A new light nuclear reaction model has been developed and the double-differential measurements of lp shell nuclei have been analyzed successfully. Now, the application of this model is expanded to 19F of the 2s-ld shell nucleus. The double-differential cross section of total outgoing neutron for n ＋^19F reactions at En=14.2 MeV has been calculated and analyzed, which agrees fairly well with the experimental measurements. In this paper, the contributions from different reaction channels to the double-differential cross sections have been analyzed in detail. The calculations indicate that this light nudear reaction model is also able to be used for the 2s-ld shell nucleus so long as the related level scheme couM be provided sufficiently.     

Further Analysis of Neutron Double-Differential Cross Section of n ＋ ^16O at 14.1 MeV and 18 MeV

By using a new reaction model for light nuclei, the double-differential cross section of total outgoing neutron with LUNF code for n＋^16O reactions at En=14.1 MeV and 18 MeV have been calculated and analyzed. In this paper the opened reaction channels, which have contribution to emitting the neutrons, are listed in detail. To improve the fitting results the direct inelastic scattering mechanism is involved. The calculating results agree fairly well with the experimental data at E,~ = 14.1 MeV and the deviation from calculated results and experimental data in low energy region at En= 18 MeV has been analyzed. Since the possibility of 5He has been affirmed theoretically [J.S. Zhang, Sci. Chin. G 47 （2004） 137], so 5He emission from n＋ ^16O reaction is taken into account, which plays an important role at the region of the outgoing neutron energy εn〈3 MeV in total outgoing neutron energy-angular spectrum. The calculated results indicate that the pre-equilibrium mechanism dominates the whole reaction processes, and the recoil effect in light nuclear reactions is essentially important.     

Analysis of Neutron Double-Differential Cross Sections for n ＋ ^12 C Reaction Below 30 MeV

Based on the light nucleus reaction model （Nucl. Sci. Eng. 133 （1999） 218）, four aspects （neutron incident energy region, reaction channel analysis, the renewed level schemes and the optical model parameters） of n＋ ^12 C reaction are improved to calculate total outgoing neutron double-dilferential cross sections with modified LUNF code below 30 MeV. The calculated results agree fairly well with the experimental data at En = 14.1 MeV and 18 MeV. The analysis shows that the pre-equilibrium mechanism, which is exactly considered the conservation of energy, momentum and parity, dominates the whole reaction process. The contribution of the neutron emission from 5He to total energy- angular spectra is also considered properly. This modified LUNF code will be a useful tool to set up the file of neutron double-differential crass sections below 30 Me V in the neutron evaluation nuclear data library.     

Calculation of Double—Differential Cross Sections of n＋^7Li Reactions Below 20 MeV

A new reaction model for light nuclei is proposed to analyze the measured data,especially for analysis of the double-differential cross sections of the outgoing particles.Many channels arc opened in the n + 7Li reaction below En＜ 20 MeV.The reaction mechanism is very complex,beside the sequential emissions there are also three-body breakup processes.Because of a strong recoil effect of light nucleus reactions,the energy balance is strictly taken into account.The comparisons of the calculated results with the double-differential measurements indicate that the model calculations are successful for the total outgoing neutrons.     

A Theoretical Study of Photoabsorption Cross Sections of Na^＋ 2

In the framework of quantum defect theory, we calculate photoabsorption cross sections of Na^＋ 2. Based on our calculations, there is an absorption window in the photoabsorption cross sections of Na^＋ 2. and more than one bump above the absorption window. The calculated photoabsorption cross sections provide an explanation for the abnormal bump in the experimental measurements of Hudson, which is a long-standing experimental puzzle.

Measurement of the Breakup Cross Sections in ^6He＋^9Be Reaction at 25 MeV／Nucleon

The breakup reaction cross sections were measured for the reaction of^6He at 25 MeV/nucleon from ^9Be target with intensity of 10^5 pps. By fitting the energy spectra of breakup α particles with Gaussian functions, the angular distribution of differential cross sections in the laboratory system has been extracted and compared with the Serber model calculations. The good agreement between the calculation and the experimental data favours a dominant configuration of the ^4He core plus valence neutrons for the structure of^6He.

Angular distributions of the ^7Li（^6Li, ^6Li）^7Li elastic scattering and the ^7Li（^6Li, ^7Lig.s.）^6Li, ^7Li（^6Li, ^7Li0.48）^6Li transfer reactions at Ec.m. = 23.7 MeV are measured with the Q3D magnetic spectrograph. The optical potential of ^6Li ＋ ^7Li is obtained by fitting the elastic scattering differential cross sections. Based on the distorted wave Born approximation （DWBA） analysis, spectroscopic factors of ^7Li =^6Li n are determined to be 0.73 ± 0.05 and 0.90 ± 0.09 for the ground and first exited states in ^7Li, respectively. Using the spectroscopic factors, the cross sections of the ^6 Li（n, γ0,1）^7 Li direct neutron capture reactions and the astrophysical ^6Li（n, γ）^7 Li reaction rates are derived.

Cross section of the impact single ionization of B2＋ by H＋

The ionization process of B2+ by H+ impact is studied using the continuum-distorted-wave eikonal-initial-state (CDW-EIS) method and the modified free electron peak approximation (M-FEPA), respectively. Total, single-, and double- differential cross sections from 1s and 2s orbitals are presented for the energy range from 10 keV/u to 10 MeV/u. Comparison between the results from the two methods demonstrates that the total and single-differential cross sections for the high-energy incident projectile case can be well evaluated using the simple M-FEPA model. Moreover, the M-FEPA model reproduces the essential features of the binary-encounter (BE) bump in the double-differential cross sections. Thus, the BE ionization mechanism is discussed in detail by adopting the M-FEPA model. In particular, the double- and single-differential cross sections from the 2s orbital show a high-energy hip, which is different from those from the 1s orbital. Based on Ref. [1], the Compton profiles of B2+ for 1s and 2s orbitals are given, and the hips in DDCS and SDCS from the 2s orbital are explained.     

Neutron beam optimization based on a ^7Li（p,n）^7Be reaction for treatment of deep-seated brain tumors by BNCT

Neutron beam optimization for accelerator-based Boron Neutron Capture Therapy（BNCT） is investigated using a ^7Li（p,n）^7Be reaction. Design and optimization have been carried out for the target, cooling system,moderator, filter, reflector, and collimator to achieve a high flux of epithermal neutron and satisfy the IAEA criteria.Also, the performance of the designed beam in tissue is assessed by using a simulated Snyder head phantom. The results show that the optimization of the collimator and reflector is critical to finding the best neutron beam based on the ^7Li（p,n）^7Be reaction. Our designed beam has 2.49×109n/cm^2 s epithermal neutron flux and is suitable for BNCT of deep-seated brain tumors.     

Differential Cross Sections for High-Lying Vibrational Excitations （v= 0→v′=1,2,... , 9, 10） of e-H2 Scattering

A theoretical investigation on the differential cross section （DCS） from low-energy electron scattering of high-lying vibrational excited H2 molecules is reported. The body-frame vibrational close-coupling （BFVCC） approach is used to solve the scattering equations. Quantum scattering potentials include static, exchange, and polarization contributions based on ab initio calculations. By including the contributions of 9 partial waves （Nt = 9）, 18 Morse vibrational states （Nv = 18）, and 16 molecular symmetries （A = 0, 1,..., 7）, the calculated DCSs have good agreement with available experimental measurements and theoretical studies, and show that high angular momenta and good vibrational wavefunctions are necessary to better describe the scattering physics of electronmolecule vibrational excitation collisions.
