Optical Potential Calculations of Positron-H2 Elastic Collision

We report the calculations of the elastic scattering differential cross section for positron H2 collisions with the impact energy below the positronium formation threshold. Our calculation is based on the static-exchange-optical model which has obtained great success in the case of electron scattering. The effective potential used here includes the static and optical potentials. The optical method can completely include the second-order effect arising from real and virtual excitation of target states, which is important for the scattering. A comparison is made with the available theoretical calculations.     

Calculation of Total Cross Sections for Positron Scattering by Lithium at Intermediate Energies

The total cross sections for positron scattering by lithium at intermediate energies (10-200eV) are calculated by using the coupled-channel optical method with a complex equivalent-local polarization potential which incorporates ionization continuum and positronium (Ps) formation channels contributions into the coupled channels framework. The effects of the two-body Ps rearrangement and three-body ionization process on the total crosss ection are found to be significant at lower energies and this effect is not negligible up to 30 eV. Compared to the available theoretical data, the predicted total cross sections agree quite well with the calculations of McAlinden et al. [J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 30 (1997)1543] and Campbell et al. [Nucl. Instrum. Methods Phys. B 143 (199s) 41]     

Optical Potential Calculation for Positron Collision with Helium

The positron-helium system is studied with the momentum-space coupled-channel optical method. The posltronium formation cross sections from the positronium formation threshold to 400 eV and total cross sections from 17 to 3000 eV are calculated. Ionization continuum and positronium formation channels are included via a complex equivalent-local optical potential in the present calculations. The results are compared with the available experimental and theoretical data.     

Positron-Lithium Atom and Electron-Lithium Atom Scattering Systems at Intermediate and High Energies

The coupled-channel optical method is used to study positron scattering by atomic lithium at energies ranging from the ionization threshold to 60eV, The present method simultaneously treats the target channels and the positronium （Ps） channels in the coupled-channel method together with the continuum effects via an ab-initio optical potential. Ionization, elastic and inelastic cross sections in target channels, and the total cross section are also reported and compared with other theoretical and experimental data. A comparative study with the corresponding electron-lithium data is also reported.     

Positronium Formation in e^＋-K Collision at Low Energies

Positronium (Ps) formation cross section for positron scattering on potassium is calculated at low impact energies (0.2-15.0eV). The present calculation uses an optical-model method with an equivalent local polarization potential. The results for the Ps (n = 1) and Ps (n = 2) formation cross sections are calculated and compared with the experimental measurements and other theoretical results.     

Effects of Impact Parameter on Isospin Fractionation in Heavy Ion Collision at Intermediate Energies

We calculated the degree of isospin fractionation (N/Z)n/(N/Z)Nfrag by using the isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics model (IQMD), where (N/Z)n and (N/Z)Nfrag are the saturated neutron to proton ratio of nucleon emissions and that of the fragment emissions respectively. In general, the observable in nuclear reaction is very sensitive to impact parameter. So it is interesting to investigate the dependence of (N/Z)n/(N/Z)Nfrag on the impact parameter b. Fig.1 shows the value of (N/Z)n/(N/Z)Nfrag as a function of impact parameter b for four different cases:     

Optical Potential Calculations of Elastic Collision for Electron Scattering by H2

Differential cross sections for the elastic scattering of the electrons by H2 at 100 and 150 e V have been calculatedand compared with experiments. We use the momentum space method in which the electron-molecule system hasa single centre and the effect of higher reaction channels on electron-molecule elastic scattering is approximatedby an ab initio equivalent-local potential. It is added to the exact static-exchange potential for e-H2 scattering.     

Chemical Instability in Heavy Ion Collisions at Intermediate Energies

With the establishment of secondary beam facilities at many laboratories around the world, one can investi-gate the properties of nuclei very far from the β stability line and isospin degrees of freedom in nuclear reactions at wide energy ranges. It is also possible to explore the chemical instability of hot and isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter. A better agreement with the experimental data has been found in our recent study by means of an isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) mode. Recently experiments really reported the isospin dependence of multifragment production in reactions of ^58Fe ^58Fe and ^58Ni ^58Ni at higher incident energ.y; These phenomena may be related to the chemical instability in HIC induced by neutron-rich nuclei and therefore it is a challenge for theoretical and experimental nuclear physicists to investigate the chemical instability in heavv ion collisions.     

Dependence of Isospin Fractionation on Beam Energy in Heavy Ion Collisions at Intermediate Energies

We investigated the dependence of isospin fractionation degree (N/Z)n/ (N/Z)Nfrag on the beam energy by using the isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics model (IQMD). The (N/Z)n and (N/Z)Nfrag are the neutron proton ratio of nucleon emission (gas phase) and that of fragment emission (liquid phase) respectively. The calculated results show that (N/Z)n / (N/Z)Nfrag enhances with increasing the beam energy due to the increase of excitation energy of colliding system. But above properties is only occurred in the definiteenergy region.     

Calculation of Total Cross Sections for Positron-Mg Collision

Total cross sections in positron-Mg collision are calculated in the range 2.0-60.0 eV using the momentum space coupled channels optical potential approach. The target ionization continuum and the positronium formation are included in the optical potential. The present total cross sections are compared with the experiment data and the other theoretical results.     

Fusion Reaction of ^16O＋^14N and Its Implication for the Production of ^26Al in Explosive Oxygen Burning

We suggest that the fusion reaction ^16O＋^14N may be a new way to produce ^26Al in interstellar medium. Adopting different mixing modes, we investigate the impact on the production of ^26Al in explosive oxygen burning and find that the result is extremely sensitive to mixing mechanisms. In some cases, we obtain an encouraging result, for example, the greatest final abundance of ^26Al reaches 7.779×10^-6, which means that the explosive oxygen burning may be a new origin of ^26 Al.

L-Shell X-Ray Yields and Production Cross Sections of Zr and Mo Bombarded by Slow Highly Charged Ar16+ Ions

The L-shell x-ray yields of Zr and Mo bombarded by slow Ar16＋ ions are measured. The energy of the Ar^16＋ ions ranges from about 150 keV to 350 keV. The L-shell x-ray production cross sections of Zr and Mo are extracted from these yields data. The explanation of these experimental results is in the framework of the adiabatic direct- ionization and the binding energy modified BEA approximation. We consider, in the slow asymmetric collisions such as Ar and Mo/Zr, the transient united atoms （UA） are formed during the ion-surface interaction and the direct-ionization is the main mechanism for the inner-shell vacancy production. Generally, the theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data.     

A Common Optical Potential for ~4He+~(12)C at Intermediate Energies

A common optical potential for ~4He+~(12)C at intermediate bombarding energies,which is essential in analyzing exotic nuclei with ~4He clusters,is obtained based on the Sao Paulo potential.Among systematic optical potentials for ~4He+~(12)C,this potential has the merit of using a fixed imaginary part of the Woods-Saxon form.By opticalmodel calculations,this potential reproduces the experimental elastic scattering angular distributions of ~4He+~(12)C well within the energy range of 26A-60 A MeV.It is also applied successfully in calculations of the breakup reactions of ~6Li+~(12)C and ~6He+~(12)C with a three-body continuum discretized coupled-channel method.     

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.     

Rydberg transitions for positron-hydrogen collisions

e⁺ + H(ns) ↦e⁺ + H(n^′s) transitions for arbitrary n and n^′ have been studied using the distorted-wave formalism in the momentum space [Ghoshal and Mandal, Phys. Rev. A 72, 032714 (2005)]. The distorted-wave scattering amplitudes have been written in a simple closed analytical form. A detailed study has been made on differential and total cross sections in the energy range 20–300 eV. Resonance-like behaviour of the differential cross section has been observed in the the region of lower scattering angles for high Rydberg transitions. To the best of our knowledge the distorted-wave results for differential and total cross sections for such arbitrary transitions are reported for the first time in the literature.
