Effects of N/Z on Spin Distribution of Evaporation Residue Cross Section as a Probe of Nuclear Dissipation

The spin distribution of the evaporation residue cross section of nuclei ^194pb, ^200Pb, ^206Pb, and ^200 Os are calculated via a Langevin equation coupled with a statistical decay model. It is shown that with increasing the neutronto-proton ratio （N/Z） of the system, the sensitivity of the significantly. Moreover, for ^200Os this spin distribution is no spin distribution to the nuclear dissipation is decreased longer sensitive to the nuclear dissipation. These results suggest that to obtain a more accurate pre-saddle viscosity coefficient through the measurement of the evaporation residue spin distribution, it is best to yield those compound systems with low N/Z.     

Isospin effect of the in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross section in excited nuclear reactions

Using relativistic mean field theory, the neutron and the proton density distribution of 56Ni nuclei could be obtained in the ground state and the excited state. Based on the framework of the quantum molecular dynamics model, the 56Ni nuclei have been simulated in ground state and in the neutron or proton excited state. We then used the three different states of 56Ni to collide with the 56Ni in the ground state. To discuss the evolution of the nuclear stopping in different reactions, two kinds of different excited nuclear reactions were studied at different reaction energies and at different impact parameters. Studies have shown that the nuclear stopping of an excited nuclear reaction is sensitive to the isospin-dependent in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross section, compared with the response value of the ground state nuclear reaction. So, it is better for the excited nuclei to extract the isospin dependence of nucleon-nucleon cross section information.

Role of N/Z in Pre-scission Neutrons as an Observable of Nuclear Friction

A dynamical Langevin model is employed to evaluate the excess of the neutron emission in the fission of heavy nuclei ^240Cf, ^246 Cf, ^254Cf, ^240U relative to the standard statistical-model prediction at various saddle-to-scission friction strengths. It is shown that when the neutron-to-proton ratio N/Z of the system increases, the sensitivity of the excess to the friction decreases substantially, and it almost disappears for ^240U. We suggest that using those compound systems with low N/Z favors an accurate determination for the saddle-to-scission friction strength based on the measurement of the pre-scission neutron multiplicity.     

Surveying post-saddle nuclear dissipation with protons and α particles as probes

Using a Langevin model, we calculate post-saddle proton and α-particle multiplicities as a function of the post-saddle dissipation strength （β） for the heavy systems 234Cf, 240Cf, 246Cf and 240U. We find that, with increasing isospin of the system, the sensitivity of post-saddle light charged-particle multiplicities to β decreases considerably and, moreover, for 240U the charged-particle multiplicities are no longer sensitive to β. These results suggest that in order to determine the post-saddle friction strength more accurately by measuring the multiplicities of pre-scission protons and α particles, it is best to populate those heavy compound systems with low isospin.     

Improved Z^1/3 Law of Nuclear Charge Radius

An improved Z^1/3 law of nuclear charge radius is presented. The comparison between the calculated and experimental nuclear charge radii now available shows that this new formula is better than the other conventional formulae.     

Effects of N/Z on Post-Saddle γ Emission as an Observable of Post-Saddle Nuclear Friction

Based on a dynamical Langevin equation coupled with a statistical decay model, we calculate the variation of the post-saddle giant dipole resonance （GDR） q-ray multiplicity of the heavy nuclei 24^240Cf, ^246Cf, ^252Cf and ^240U with the post-saddle friction strength （13）. We find that the sensitivity of the post-saddle γ emission to β decreases considerably with increasing the neutron-to-proton ratio （N/Z） of the system. Moreover, for 240 U, the γ emission is no longer sensitive to 13. We suggest that to accurately obtain information of the post-saddle friction strength by measuring pre-scission GDR γ-ray multiplicities, it is optimal to choose among the various compound systems those with low N/Z.     

Can VMD improve the estimate of the muon g－2?

We show that a VMD based theoretical input allows for a significantly improved accuracy for the hadronic vacuum polarization of the photon which contributes to the theoretical estimate of the muon g-2. We also show that the only experimental piece of information in the τ decay which cannot be accounted for within this VMD framework is the accepted value for Br（τ→ππvτ）, while the T spectum lineshape is in agreement with expectations from e^＋e^- annihilations.     

Microscopic Three-Body Force Effect on Nucleon-Nucleon Cross Sections in Symmetric Nuclear Matter

We provide a microscopic calculation of neutron-proton and proton-proton cross sections in symmetric nuclear matter at various densities, using the Brueckner Hartree-Fock approximation scheme with the Argonne Va4 potential including the contribution of microscopic three-body force. We investigate separately the effects of three-body force on the effective mass and on the scattering amplitude. In the present calculation, the rearrangement contribution of three-body force is considered, which will reduce the neutron and proton effective mass, and depress the amplitude of cross section. The effect of three body force is shown to be repulsive, especially in high densities and large momenta, which will suppress the cross section markedly.     

Intrinsic noise analysis and stochastic simulation on transforming growth factor beta signal pathway

A typical biological cell lives in a small volume at room temperature; the noise effect on the cell signal transduction pathway may play an important role in its dynamics. Here, using the transforming growth factor-β signal transduction pathway as an example, we report our stochastic simulations of the dynamics of the pathway and introduce a linear noise approximation method to calculate the transient intrinsic noise of pathway components. We compare the numerical solutions of the linear noise approximation with the statistic results of chemical Langevin equations, and find that they are quantitatively in agreement with the other. When transforming growth factor-β dose decreases to a low level, the time evolution of noise fluctuation of nuclear Smad2-Smad4 complex indicates the abnormal enhancement in the transient signal activation process.     

动量相关作用对两体耗散同位旋效应的重要性

利用同位旋相关的量子分子动力学,研究了中能重离子碰撞中动量相关的状态方程对原子核阻止基于两体耗散的同位旋效应的影响.计算结果表明原子核阻止对同位旋相关和同位旋无关的核子–核子碰撞截面(两体耗散)的差值强烈地依赖于动量相关势,即在有动量相关势的情况下原子核阻止对同位旋相关和同位旋无关的核子–核子碰撞截面的差值大于没有动量相关势的情况.这就意味着动量相关作用明显地提高了原子核阻止对于核子–核子碰撞截面的灵敏性.因此,在考虑动量相关势的情况下,原子核阻止可以更准确地作为提取同位旋相关的核子–核子碰撞截面的一个探针.     

同位旋对用裂变截面探测鞍点前摩擦的影响

耦合了轻粒子发射的随机Langevin模型被用于计算三个Bi裂变系统因核耗散效应引起的相对于标准统计模型预计的裂变截面值的变化,σ_fdrop作为激发能的函数。发现209Bi的σ_fdrop要大于202Bi和195Bi的σ_fdrop,这表明高同位旋系统209Bi的裂变截面对摩擦强度有更大的敏感性。该结果建议,当实验上使用裂变激发函数来更精确地提取鞍点前摩擦强度时,应产生具有高同位旋的复合核。进而,通过Langevin计算拟合p+206Pb和p+209Bi反应的裂变激发函数数据,提取的鞍点前摩擦强度为（3~5）×1021 s-1。Langevin models that are coupled with particle emission are applied to calculate the drop of fission cross section caused by friction over its standard statistical-model value, σ_fdrop, as a function of excitation energy for three Bi nuclei with different isospins. We find that σ_fdrop become larger for 209Bi than for 202Bi and 195Bi, indicating a greater sensitivity of fission cross section to friction for high-isospin 209Bi. These results suggest that, to more accurately determine the presaddle dissipation strength by measuring fission excitation functions, it is best to populate those compound systems with a high isospin. Furthermore, we analyze the data of fission excitation functions measured in p + 209Bi and p + 208Pb reactions, which yield high-isospin 210Po and 209Bi systems, and extract a presaddle friction strength of (3-5)×1021 s-1 by comparing Langevin simulations with these experimental data.

Influence of angular momentum on evaporation residue cross section as a probe of nuclear dissipation

By calculating the excess of the evaporation residue cross sections of the 200pb nucleus over that predicted by the standard statistical model as a function of nuclear viscosity coefficient using a Langevin equation combined with a statistical decay model, it is found that high angular momentum not only amplifies the dissipation effects on the excess of the evaporation residue cross sections, but also considerably increases the sensitivity of this excess to the nuclear viscosity coefficient. These results suggest that on the experimental side, to accurately obtain the information of nuclear dissipation inside the saddle point by measuring the evaporation residue cross section, it had better populate those compound systems with high spins.     

Recent progress on isospin breaking corrections and their impact on the muon g－2 value

We describe some recent results on isospin breaking corrections which are of relevance for predictions of the leading order hadronic contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment aμ^had.LO when using τ lepton data. When these corrections are applied to the new combined data on the π^±π^0 spectral function, the prediction for aμ^had.LO based on τ lepton data gets closer to the one obtained using e^＋e^- data.     

Spin distribution of evaporation residue cross section within a stochastic approach

The Langevin equation including particle emission was used to reproduce the recently measured spin distribution of evaporation residue cross sections in the reaction 16O+184W at beam energies of 84, 92,100, 108, 116 and 120 MeV. By comparing the theoretical calculations with the experimental data, the validity of the stochastic approach to dissipative fission is verified. Moreover, a pre-saddle nuclear viscosity coefficient of 5 x 1021 S-1 is extracted.     

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.     

核子碰撞截面的介质修正对多重碎裂的影响

利用同位旋相关的量子分子动力学模型研究了中能重离子碰撞过程中,同位旋相关的核子碰撞截面的介质修正对于多重碎裂的影响.结果表明:在包括动量相关作用在内的软势的情况下,介质修正明显地提高了自由核子的发射和中等质量碎片的多重性对于核子碰撞截面的同位旋依赖的敏感性.但对于原子核阻止敏感地依赖于核子碰撞截面的同位旋效应而不敏感地依赖于对称势的形式这一性质的影响并不明显,因此,原子核阻止对于核子碰撞截面的同位旋依赖的敏感性主要决定于自由核子碰撞截面的同位旋相关性.     

Search for Theta++ pentaquarks in the exclusive reaction gammap-->K+K-p

The reaction gammap --> pK+K- was studied at Jefferson Lab with photon energies from 1.8 to 3.8 GeV using a tagged photon beam. The goal was to search for a Theta++ pentaquark, a narrow, doubly charged baryon state having strangeness S=+1 and isospin I=1, in the pK+ invariant mass spectrum. No statistically significant evidence of a Theta++ was found. Upper limits on the total and differential cross section for the reaction gammap --> K-Theta++ were obtained in the mass range from 1.5 to 2.0 GeV/c2, with an upper limit for a narrow resonance with a mass M(Theta++) = 1.54 GeV/c2 of about 0.15 nb, 95% C.L.. This result places a stringent upper limit on the Theta++ width Gamma(Theta++) <0.1 MeV/c2.     

A Detailed Study of Pre-scission γ Emission as a Probe of Nuclear Dissipation

Using a Langevin equation coupled with a statistical model, we calculate pre-scission giant dipole resonance （GDR） γ-ray multiplicity of nuclei 194 pb, 200Pb, 206Pb, and 200 Os. It is demonstrated that with increasing the isospin asymmetry of these fissioning nuclei the sensitivity of the emitted γ multiplicity to the nuclear viscosity coefficient is decreased significantly. For 200Os nuc/eus, this γ-ray emission is no longer sensitive to the magnitude of the viscosity coefficient. In addition, the effect of the isospin asymmetry on the γ rays as a probe of nuclear dissipation is reduced with increasing angular momentum. These results suggest that to obtain a more accurate information of the viscosity coemfficient by the measurement of pre-scission GDR γ-ray multiplicity it is better to choose those compound systems with small isospin asymmetry and low spin.
