Statistical Significance of Non-Reproducibility of Cross Sections in Dissipative Reactions

Two independent excitation function measurements have been performed in the reaction system of ^19F ^93Nb using two target foils of the same nominal thickness. We measured the dissipative reaction products at incident energies of 102 through 108 MeV with a step of 250ke V. The variance of energy autocorrelation functions of the reaction products was found to be three times of that originated from the randomized counting rates. By analysing the probability distributions of the deviations in the measured cross sections, we found that about 20% of all the deviations exceeds three standard deviations. This indicates that the non-reproduclbility of the cross sections in the two independent measurements is of a statistical significance but not originated from randomized fluctuation of counting rates.     

Experimental Test of the Non—reproducibility of Cross Sections in Dissipative Reactions

Two independent measurements of cross sections for the ^19F ^93Nb dissipative heavy ion collisions have been performed at incident energies from 100 to 108MeV in steps of 250keV.In the two measurements,two independently prepared targets were used.All other experimental conditions were identical in both experiments.The data indicate that non-reproducibility of the non-self-averaging oscillation is yielded in the two measurements.This supports the recent theoretical predictions of spontaneous coherence,slow phase randomization and extreme sensitivity in highly excited complex quantum systems.     

Partial Wave Cross Sections for Collisions between Helium Atoms and Hydrogen Halide Molecules

The close-coupling method is utilized to calculate partial cross sections for elastic and inelastic scattering of He atoms with HX （X=F, Cl, Br） molecule based on the CCSD （T） potential energy surfaces obtained in the previous research. The calculation is performed at the incident energy of 200 me V. The rationality of our results has been confirmed by comparison with the available theoretical results. The tendency of the elastic and inelastic rotational excitation partial wave cross sections varying with the reduced mass of the three systems is obtained.     

Cross Sections of Electron Detachment for Si^- and Ge^- in Collision with Ar

Single electron detachment cross section for 10-40keV Si^- and Ge^- in collisions with Ar are measured and compared with other available experimental results. In our experimental energy region, the trend of cross sections is almost constant. The cross sections of Ge larger than Si can be understood by including electron affinity and size of negative ions.     

Theoretical Prediction of Differential Cross Sections for Reaction pp → pK^＋A in a Resonance Model

The reaction of pp → pK^＋A is a very good channel to study N^＊ resonances through their KA decay mode, because there is no mixing of isospin I = 1/2 and I = 3/2 due to isospin conservation. In this work, we extend a resonance model, which can reproduce the total cross section very well, to offer differential cross section information about this reaction. It can serve as a reference to build the scheduled hadron detector at Lanzhou Cooler Storage Ring （CSR）. Experiment measurement of these differential cross sections in the future will supply us more constraints on the model and help us understanding the strangeness production dynamics better.     

Nuclear Potential and Fusion Cross Sections for Synthesizing Super-Heavy Elements in Di-nuclear Systems

A double foMing method with simplified Skyrme-type nucleon nucleon interaction is used to calculate the nuclear interaction potential between two nuclei. The calculation is performed in tip-to-tip orientation of the two nuclei if they are deformed. Based on this method, the potential energy surfaces~ the fusion probabilities and the evaporation residue cross sections for some cold fusion reactions leading to super-heavy elements within di-nuclear system model are evaluated. It is indicated that after the improvement, the exponential decreasing systematics of the fusion probability with increasing charge number of projectile on the Pb based target become better and the evaporation residue cross sections are in better agreement with the experimental data.     

Absolute Differential Cross Sections for Elastic Scattering of Electrons from CO at Intermediate and High Energies

The additivity rule model together with the complex optical model potential correlated by the concept of bonded atoms, which considers the overlapping effect of electron clouds between two atoms in a molecule, is firstly employed to calculate the absolute differential cross sections for electrons scattered by carbon monoxide at intermediate and high energies at the Hartree-Fock level. A comparison of elastic differential cross section results, obtained by using the correlated complex optical model potential, with the available experimental data,shows a significant improvement over the uncorrelated ones. The differential cross sections obtained by using thecorrelated complex optical model potential are in very good agreement with the experimental data. It is shown that the additivity rule model together with the correlated complex optical model potential is suitable for the calculations of the absolute differential cross sections of e-CO scattering.     

Ab Initio Calculations of Differential Cross Sections for Single Charge Transfer in ^3He^2＋ ＋ ^4He Collisions

The single charge transfer process in ^3He^2＋ ＋ ^4He collisions is investigated using the quantum-mechanical molecular- orbital close-coupling method, in which the adiabatic potentials and radial couplings are calculated by using the ab initio multireference single- and double-excitation configuration interaction methods. The differential cross sections for the single charge transfer are presented at the laboratorial energies E = 6 keV and lOkeV for the projectile ^3He^2＋. Comparison with the existing data shows that the present results are better in agreement with the experimental measurements than other calculations in the dominant small angle scattering, which is attributed to the accurate calculations of the adiabatic potentials and the radial couplings.     

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.     

Absolute Cross Sections for Near-Threshold Electron-Impact Excitation of the 2s^2S→2p^2P Transition of Li-Like C^3＋, N^4＋, and O^5＋ Ions

Excitation cross sections of 1s^22s ^2S1/2 → 1s^22p^2p1/2,3/2 transition among the fine-structure levels in Li-like C^3＋, N^4＋, and O^5＋ ions are calculated for energies of the near-threshold by using the relativistic distorted-wave program REIE06. The target state wavefunctions are calculated by using the Grasp92 code. The continuum orbitals are studied in the distorted-wave approximation, in which the direct and exchange potentials among all the electrons are included. The results of the Li-like C^3＋ ion settle the discrepancy between several previous experiments by using the crossed-beams fluorescence method, in good agreement with the measurements of Savin et al. Moreover, the results in Li-like N^4＋, and O^5＋ ions are compared with the previous experiments, and a good agreement is obtained.
