Measurement of the response of a Ga solar neutrino experiment to 37Ar source

An intense ³⁷Ar source was produced by the (n, α) reaction on ⁴⁰Ca by irradiating 330 kg of calcium oxide in the fast neutron breeder reactor at Zarechny, Russia. The ³⁷Ar was released from the solid target by dissolution in acid, collected from this solution, purified, sealed into a small source, and brought to the Baksan Neutrino Observatory, where it was used to irradiate 13 t of gallium metal in the Russian—American solar neutrino experiment SAGE. Ten exposures of the gallium to the source, whose initial strength was ∼ 409 ± 2kCi, were carried out during the period from April to September 2004. The ⁷¹Ge produced by the reaction ⁷¹Ga(ν _e, e ⁻)⁷¹Ge was extracted, purified, and counted. The measured production rate was 11.0 _−0.9 ^+1.0 (stat.) ±0.6 (syst.) atoms of ⁷¹Ge/d, which is 0.79 _−0.10 ^+0.09 of the theoretically calculated production rate.

Short lifetimes in 38Ar

Mean lifetimes of levels in ³⁸Ar have been measured using the Doppler-shift-attenuation (DSA) method and the reaction ³⁷Cl(p, γ)³⁸Ar. The lifetime values or limits were determined for 37 bound levels below the excitation energy of 9 MeV; the lifetimes of 9 levels, upper limits of 2 and lower limits of 3 levels are reported for the first time. For the effective stopping of recoils, the targets were prepared by implanting ³⁷Cl into Ta backings. The Monte Carlo method and the experimental stopping power were used in the DSA analysis.     

A study of the 35Cl(p, γ)36Ar reaction and the energy levels of 36Ar

Proton energies and strengths of (p,γ) and (p, p₁) resonances of the ³⁵Cl + p reaction were determined for E_p = 0.4?3.0 MeV and 1.9?3.0 MeV, respectively. The γ-decay of 84 resonances was studied with a 40 cm³ Ge(Li) detector. The branching ratios and excitation energies of 38 bound levels were determined. A new bound level was observed at E_x = 8472.0 ± 1.0 keV. Doppler-shift attenuation experiments yielded lifetimes of 20 bound levels. Spins and/or parities for bound levels and resonances were derived on the basis of observed transition strengths.     

35MeV/u 36,40Ar+112,124Sn反应中同位旋自由度的弛豫

35MeV/u ^36,40Ar+^112,124Sn反应中,在前角5°和20°观测到丰中子核与稳定核的产额比随粒子出射动能的增加而减小,而缺中子核与稳定核的产额比随动能的增加而增加.对于某种元素,随着动能的减小,其平均中质比逐渐由弹核N/Z向靶核N/Z过渡.这些现象表明在这样的入射能量下,周边或近周边碰撞过程中同位旋自由度没有完全达到平衡.这种行为对两个靶核系统是相似的,但是同位素产额比的绝对值在5°没有靶核相关性,而在20°处却表现出明显的靶核相关性.     

Four-nucleon transfer with the 32S(16O, 12C)36Ar reaction

Angular distributions have been measured for the ³²S(¹⁶O,¹²C)³⁶Ar reaction at 45.5 MeV leading to excited states between E_x, = 0 and 8 MeV. Experimental cross sections are compared with exact finite-range DWBA calculations in combination with extensive shell-model calculations, which include sd- and fp-shell configurations. Transitions to low-energy positive-parity states and bound negative-parity states are well reproduced. The calculations, however, fail to describe some high-energy positive-parity states. Calculations with a complete cluster expansion for the four transferred nucleons give about 50% larger cross sections, but can not explain the observed discrepancies. Possible interference of reaction processes other than direct α-transfer and special structure effects are discussed.     

Elastic electron scattering from 40Ar

Cross sections for elastic electron scattering from ⁴⁰Ar have been measured for the momentum transfer range from 0.59 to 1.31 fm^?1. We have analyzed with the Fourier-Bessel ansatz our data as well as the data of former experiments. The rms charge radius we have found is 3.423(14) fm. The results are in excellent agreement with latest muonic data. Furthermore, we have reanalyzed former ⁴⁰Ca data and have discussed the ⁴⁰Ca- ⁴⁰Ar charge distribution.     

High-spin yrast levels of 38Ar

High-spin states of ³⁸Ar have been studied with the ³⁵Cl(α, pγ)³⁸Ar reaction at E_α = 18 MeV and with the ²⁴Mg(¹⁶O, 2pγ)³⁸Ar reaction at $\text{E(}{}^{16}\text{O}\text{) = 38}\text{and}\text{45}\text{MeV}$. The ³⁸Ar level scheme is obtained with the former reaction from a proton-γ coincidence measurement. Gamma-gamma coincidence, γ-ray angular distribution and linear polarization experiments have been performed with a Ge(Li)-Na(Tl) Compton suppression spectrometer and a three-crystal Ge(Li) Compton polarimeter. Unambiguous spin-parity assignments of $\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\pi }}\text{= 7}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{, 7}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{, 8}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{, 7}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{, 9}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{and}\text{11}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$to the ³⁸Ar levels at E_x = 7.51, 8.08, 8.57, 8.97, 10.17 and 11.61 MeV, respectively, are obtained. The 8.57 MeV, 8⁺ level has a mean life below 0.8 ps. Excitation energies, branching ratios, multipole mixing ratios and transition strengths are reported. The experimental results are compared with shell-model calculations.     

Ground state condensate fraction of liquid 4He

An optimal Jastrow correlation function with intermediate- and long-range structure gives a larger condensate fraction at equilibrium density than a simple short-range correlation function. The condensate fraction is also sensitive to the potentials used in the calculation.     

Ground state surface tension of liquid 3He

A new method for the energy of the fermion liquid in correlated basis function approximation is described. The method is applied to ³He, and extended to a successful variational calculation of the surface tension.     

Recoil-distance lifetime measurements of levels in 36Ar and 36Cl

Lifetimes of levels in ³⁶Ar and ³⁶Cl populated in the ²H(³⁵Cl, n) and ²H(³⁵Cl, p) reactions, respectively, were measured with the recoil distance method. Gamma rays were detected in coincidence with a neutron detector to study the ³⁶Ar levels and in singles to study the ³⁶Cl levels. Mean lifetimes τ_m = 125 ± 20, 19.6 ± 3.1 and 4.1 ± 0.9 ps were obtained from decay curves for the ³⁶Ar levels at 5171, 4974 and 4178 keV, respectively and τ_m = 23 ± 2, 10.4 ± 0.5, 2.95 ± 0.14 and 4.9 ± 1.0 ps for ³⁶Cl levels at 788, 1165, 1951 and 2810 keV, respectively. Shell-model calculations, with a model space comprising selected 5h-1p configurations and with an effective charge of 0.5e, are compared to the transition rates for the low-lying negative parity states in ³⁶Ar.     

Fusion near the threshold: A comparative study of the systems 40Ar + 112, 116, 122sn and 40Ar + 144, 148, 154Sm

Fusion excitation functions for the systems ⁴⁰Ar + ^{112, 116, 122}Sn and ⁴⁰Ar + ^{144, 148, 154}Sm have been determined, covering cross sections ranging from several hundred mb down to the μb level. The data show a pronounced correlation of the subbarrier behaviour with low-energy collective properties of the nuclei involved and are well reproduced by simplified coupled-channel calculations coupling fusion to inelastic channels. The possibilities of parameterizing the data in terms of a simple dynamic barrier-fluctuation phenomenon are discussed and result in the prediction of remarkably diffuse partial-wave distributions above the barrier. This is shown to be important for the analysis of deexcitation phenomena following fusion reactions.     

Deep inelastic collisions in the interaction of 280 MeV 40Ar with 58Ni

Masses and charges of all the nuclei with 5 ≦ Z ≦ 20 produced in the reaction ⁴⁰Ar + ⁵⁸Ni have been identified using combined ΔE · E and time-of-flight techniques. Energy spectra, angular distributions and cross sections have been measured. The formation of an intermediate composite system, in which charge equilibrium is achieved, is discussed. Also, the transition between the quasi-elastic and the deep inelastic process is studied. The angular distribution behaviour is shown to be related to the interaction time. The total cross section of the deep inelastic process has been found to be 700 mb and is compared to the evaporation residue cross section.     

Search for intermediate structure in 36Ar via the 24Mg(12C, α)32S reaction

The ²⁴Mg(¹²C,α)³²S reaction was investigated in the energy range E_c.m. = 11.9–19.4 MeV by measuring excitation functions of the α₀ and α₁ groups. Angular distributions (θ_c.m. = 12–97°) were also measured at a number of energies. The excitation functions were subjected to a statistical analysis by means of evaluating correlation and deviation functions; no statistically significant anomalies were found. The α₀ angular distributions display fairly high angular-momentum selectivity as pairs of Legendre polynomials provide acceptable fits to most of them: however, only one, at E_c.m. = 18.1 MeV, is strongly dominated by a single partial wave, l = 11. Excitation functions as well as angular distributions of both α₀ and α₁ cross sections were found to be in good qualitative agreement with Hauser-Feshbach calculations throughout the energy range studied. Thus, the analysis of the data shows that intermediate resonant structures, if present, are weak and interfere strongly with the statistical compound-nucleus background, which effectively prevents their clear observation and identification in the present study.     

Measurements of evaporation residues and fission for 40Ar + 110Pd

Fusion cross sections for the reaction ⁴⁰Ar + ¹¹⁰Pd have been measured in the bombarding energy range 164–262 MeV. Evaporation residues and fission fragments have been detected by ΔE-E telescopes. We compare the fusion cross sections to various theoretical models with special attention to the high-energy data. An analysis is also given for entrance-channel spin zones for evaporation residues and fission.     

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.     

Investigation of optical model parameters for deuteron elastic scattering from 40Ar

Differential cross sections, vector and tensor analysing powers of deuterons elastically scattered by ⁴⁰Ar at 9.0, 10.75 and 12.0 MeV have been measured. The results have been analysed in terms of an optical potential containing complex central, spin-orbit and tensor terms. It is found that not only could all five observables be fitted very well but the parameters found also give excellent predictions for the excitation function of the cross section and T₂₀ at 175°, as well as for the 15 MeV vector analysing power data.     

Possible bubble nuclei -36Ar and 200Hg

The question of bubble configurations for ³⁶Ar and ²⁰⁰Hg is studied by Hartree Fock calculations using the density dependent force G-0. By imposing a constraint the solutions can be studied as a function of bubble deformation. Pairing is included in a self consistent manner via a B.C.S. calculation. Factors leading to bubble versus uniform distribution are discussed.
