Cross Section of Heavy Ion Reaction （14.5 MeV/u） ^132Xe ＋ Bi

We investigate the cross section of the heavy ion reaction （14.5 MeV/u） ^132Xe ＋ Bi by using a CR-39 plastic track detector. The target-detector assembly is exposed at UNILAC beam facility of GSI, Germany. After etching under appropriate etching conditions, the detector is scanned for multipronged events produced as a result of interactions of projectile ions with target atoms. The elastic events are separated from binary events and used for the determination of the quarter-point angle. The quarter-point angle obtained is used to determine the total reaction cross section. The total experimental reaction cross section is determined by using statistics of inelastic events of two-pronged and higher multiplicity events. The experimental reaction cross sections determined by using elastic and inelastic data observed in the reaction under study are found to be in good agreement with the theoretically calculated value of reaction cross section using a sharp cutoff model.     

Fission studies of gold induced by (1665 MeV) π- using a CR-39 detector

The fission cross section and fission probability of ¹⁹⁷Au, induced by (1665 MeV) π^-, have been studied using CR-39 track detectors. A 4π-geometry was used to count track statistics. A beam of negative pions of 1665 MeV was produced at AGS of Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA, and allowed to fall normally on the stack. Two detectors from the stack were scanned for fission fragment tracks after etching in 6N NaOH at 70℃. The statistics of fission fragment tracks in both detectors were obtained. It was found that there was a marked asymmetry of registered tracks with respect to the forward and backward hemispheres. This asymmetry could be partly accounted for on the basis of momentum transfer to the struck nucleus. On the basis of counting statistics fission cross section was measured, and fission probability was determined by dividing the fission cross section with the reaction cross section. The fission cross-section and fission probability were compared with the computed values using the cascade-exciton model code CEM95.     

New levels and transitions in ^72Ge following thedecay of ^72Ga

The decay of ^72Ga has been investigated by means of γ-ray spectroscopy. The 72Ga nuclei were produced through the ^71Ga(n, γ)^72Ga reaction. The Compton-suppressed spectrometer and high-purity Ge detectors have been used singly and in coincidence, separately, to study γ-rays in the β-decay of ^72Ga to ^72Ge. Ninety-three events of γ-rays were reported, of which 7 were observed for the first time. A decay scheme of ^72Ga including 4 new levels is proposed which accommodates 87 of these transitions. Spins and parities for new levels are proposed from calculated logft values, modes on the observed decay, and some nuclear reaction experimental results.     

Measurement of 85Rb（n, 2n） 84Rb reaction cross-section from 12 MeV up to 19.8 MeV

The cross-section data of the 85Rb(n,2 n)84Rb reaction have been measured with the neutron energies of 12 MeV to 19.8 MeV using the activation technique and the relative method.The 85Rb samples were irradiated on the surface of a two-ring orientation assembly with neutrons produced from the 3H(d,n)4He reaction at the 5SDH-21.7-MV Tandem accelerator in China.Theoretical model calculations were performed with the TALYS-1.9 code.The present data were compared with previously obtained experimental data and the available evaluated data.     

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.     

Influence of breakup on elastic and α-production channels in the ~6Li+~(116)Sn reaction

The effects of breakup reactions on elastic and α-production channels for the ~6Li+~(116)Sn system have been investigated at energies below and near the Coulomb barrier. The angular distributions of α-particle production differential cross sections have been obtained at several projectile energies between 22 and 40 MeV. The measured breakup α-particle differential cross sections and elastic scattering angular distributions have been compared with the predictions of continuum-discretized coupled channels(CDCC) calculations. The influence of breakup coupling has also been investigated by extracting dynamic polarization potentials(DPP) from the CDCC calculations. From the predictions of CDCC calculations the relative importance of the nuclear, Coulomb, and total breakup contributions have also been investigated. The nuclear breakup couplings are observed to play an important role in comparison to the Coulomb breakup for the direct breakup mechanisms associated in the reaction of ~6Li projectile with ~(116)Sn target nuclei. The influence of strong nuclear breakup coupling exhibits suppression in the Coulomb-nuclear interference peak. The direct breakup cross sections from the CDCC calculations under-predict the measured α-particle differential cross sections at all energies. This suggests that the measured α particles may also have contributions from other possible breakup reaction channels.     

Unusual Threshold Anomaly in the ^6Li＋^208Pb System

The angular distributions of elastic scattering for the ^6Li ＋^208Pb system have been measured at several energies around the Coulomb barrier. The parameters of optical potential are extracted by means of a phenomenological optical model analysis. It is found that the real and imaginal potentials show a pronounced energy dependence. The behaviour of the potential at the nearly especially sub-barrier energies in the ^6Li＋^208Pb system is quite different from the results of some previous reports observed in other systems, such as ^19F＋^208Pb and ^16O＋^208Pb. This unusual threshold phenomenon indicates that breakup channel is strongly coupled with the elastic channel and has obvious effects on optical potential.     

Isospin Effect of Charged Particle Multiplicity in Intermediate Energy Heavy Ion Collisions

The dependences of He and intermediate mass fragments (IMF) production rates in the reactions 55 MeV/u ^40Ar ^58,64 Ni on the isospin, impact parameter and primary excitation energy of the reaction nuclear system were studied by using the 4π charged particle multi-detector array system (MUDAL). For the mentioned two reaction systems, the measured He particle contribution in the total charged particle multiplicity increases with increasing the total charged particle multiplicity but for the contribution of IMFs in the total charged particle multiplicity increases with increasing the total charged particle multiplicity at lower total charged particle multiplicities, and latter on it drops down with further increasing of the total charged particle multiplicities (see Fig.l). The experimental results of these two reaction systems with the same nuclear charge indicate that the contribution of He and IMFs in the total charged particle multiplicities are obviously isospin dependent.     

Shape co-existence and structural evolution of the Vi13/2 band in 157Yb

The high-spin states of 157Yb have been studied via the reaction of 144Sm(16O, 3n) at 16O energy of 90 MeV using techniques of in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy. Measurement of γ-γ-t coincidences was performed with 11 BGO(AC)HPGe detectors. Based on the γ-γ coincidence relationships and the measured results of γ-ray anisotropies and DCO ratios, the level scheme for 157Yb was established. The shape co-existence and structural evolution of the Vi13/2 band with increasing angular momentum in 157Yb have been discussed. The systematics of the Vi13/2 bands in the N = 87 odd-A isotones have been compared.

Differential and angle-integrated cross sections for the ~(10)B(n,α)~7 Li,~(10)B(n,α_0) ~7 Li and ~(10)B(n,α_1) ~7 Li~*reactions have been measured at CSNS Back-n white neutron source.Two enriched(90%) ~(10)B samples 5.0 cm in diameter and～85.0 μg/cm~2 in thickness each with an aluminum backing were prepared,and back-to-back mounted at the sample holder.The charged particles were detected using the silicon-detector array of the Light-charged Particle Detector Array(LPDA) system.The neutron energy En was determined by TOF(time-of-flight) method,and the valid a events were extracted from the E_n-Amplitude two-dimensional spectrum.With 15 silicon detectors,the differential cross sections of a-particles were measured from 19.2°to 160.8°.Fitted with the Legendre polynomial series,the(n,a) cross sections were obtained through integration.The absolute cross sections were normalized using the standard cross sections of the ~(10)B(n,α) ~7 Li reaction in the 0.3-0.5 MeV neutron energy region.The measurement neutron energy range for the ~(10)B(n,α) ~7 Li reaction is 1.0 eV≤E_n 2.5 Me V(67 energy points),and that for the ~(10)B(n,α_0) ~7 Li and~(10)B(n,α_1) ~7 Li~*reactions is 1.0 eV≤E_n1.0 MeV(59 energy points).The present results have been analyzed by the resonance reaction mechanism and the level structure of the ~(11)B compound system,and compared with existing measurements and evaluations.     

Study of 1／2 [660] （π^i13／2） Rotation Band in ^179Au

High-spin states in ^179Au have been studied experimentally by using the ^149Sm(^35C1, 5n) reaction at beam energies of 164,~180 MeV. The ^35C1 beam was provided by the tandem accelerator at the Japan Atomic En-ergy Research Institute (JAERI). The target is an isotopically enriched ^149Sm metallic foil of 1.5 mg/cm^2 thickness with a 5.0 mg/cm^2 Pb backing.

A simulation study of the e+/e－ sensitivity of a low resistive phosphate glasselectrode in a RPC using GEANT MC

The resistivity of conventional glass is quite high and is unacceptable in a high rate environment. Low resistive glass-electrodes could be a solution for this problem. The present study reports the e^＋/e^- simulation results of an RPC detector made from low resistive phosphate glass electrodes. The detailed geometrical configuration of the content materials which are the essential components of the glass of the RPC detector have been created with the GEANT4 simulation code. Two different types of particle sources, i.e. for e^＋/e^- , have been located on the detectors surface to evaluate the performance of the phosphate glass RPC. Both of the particles have been simulated as a function of their respective energies in the range of 0.1 MeV 1.0 GeV. The present simulation work has shown that the resistive electrode plays an important role for the particle production in the RPC configuration.     

Theoretical Analysis of Neutron Double-Differential Cross Sections of n ＋^9Be Reactions

By using the nuclear reaction model for light nuclei, the calculations of the double-differential cross sections of outgoing neutrons from n ＋^9Be reactions are performed. The total outgoing neutrons are only come from the （n, 2n）2a reaction channel. The （n, 2n）2a reaction channel is achieved through six different reaction approach, which are illustrated in this paper. The calculated results agree very well with the measured data at En = 7.1, 8.09, 8.17, 9.09, 9.97 and 10.26 MeV, because the updated level schemes related to the n ＋ ^9Be reactions have been employed in this calculations.     

In-beam γ-ray Spectroscopy of Level Structure in ^134Ba

Excited states of ^134Ba, populated via the heavy-ion induced ^128Te(^10B, 1p3n)134Ba reaction at 46 MeV beam energy, have been studied to medium and high spins by in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy techniques. The experiment was performed at the tandem accelerator laboratory in the University of Tsukuba, Japan. The target is an isotopically enriched ^128Te metallic foil of 2.3mg/cm^2 thickness with a 3mg/cm^2 gold backing. Nine anti-Compton HPGe detectors were employed for the measurements of γ-γ-t coincidences. The level scheme of ^134Ba, deduced from this study, was shown in Fig.1.     

CDCC Approaches and Roles of Closed Channels in d-Nucleus Reactions

The effect of deuteron breakup in d-nucleus reaction is treated with the continuum discretized coupled channels （CDCC） approach, and the effects on the total reaction cross sections and elastic scattering angular distributions are studied by comparing the calculations of CDCC and spherical optical model with our global deuteron optical potential [Phys. Rev. C 73 （2006） 054605] below 200 MeV, for target nuclei ranging from ^12C to ^208Pb. The contributions from the closed channels to the total reaction and breakup cross sections, and angular distributions of elastic scattering are also seriously discussed.     

Photoeletricity Capability of Imager Detector with Coated Blends of Polymer and Perylene or Coronene

Perylene and coronene have been synthesized with good yield via the Dields-Alder reaction.They have good photoluminescence properties and could transfer ultraviolet light to visible-loght.To find an easy way of making a better ultraviolet charge coupled device,we blended perylene or coronene with polymers.Then,these blends were analysed by the photoluminescence spectrum.The results indicate that the blends have larger fluorescence intensity than pure perylene or coronene.Through spreading these blends on image detectors,organic image detectors with good ultraviolet photoelectricity capability were prepared.     

Cross Sections of Barium Isotopes in Interaction of 60 MeV／u ^18O with Natural Uranium

The reactions induced by heavy ions lower than 10 MeV/u have been studied widely. Their reaction mechanism has been also understood in more detail. The contribution to the reaction cross sections in the low energy reactions comes mainly from complex nuclei and deep inelastic process. Early studies mainly focused on the nuclear collisions of low and high energies. In the recent years, great attention has been paid on the intermediate energy heavy ion collisions. Among them measurements of the cross sections and recoiling properties for the target fragmentation products have been applied widely to study the mechanism of the nuclear reactions induced by the intermediate energy heavy ions. But there are a few papers on raodioehemieal studies in the intermediate energy region up to now.

Detection of the X-ray spectra of imploding neon Z-pinch with elliptically bent mica crystal spectrometer

A wide variety of X-ray and extreme ultraviolet diagnostics are being developed to study on Yang acceler- ator.An elliptically bent crystal spectrometer is designed with a focal length of 1350 mm.A mica crystal with an interplanar spacing of 1.984 nm bent onto an elliptical substrate with eccentricity of 0.9485 is used.The crystal analyzer covers the Bragg angle range from 30°to 60°.The mica crystal can efficiently reflect radiation in multiple orders,covering the entire spectral range from 0.1 to 1.73 nm except for a gap from 0.86 to 1.0 nm.The application experiment is performed on Yang accelerator using the bent mica crystal analyzer.Spectra of neon-puff Z-pinch plasmas are recorded with a X-ray film,showing the H-like and the He-like lines of neon.Each spectrum has been identified and used for the wavelength calibration, and most of the line radiation is contained in the He-αand the L-αlines.The experimental results have demonstrated that the spectral resolution approximates 379.     

Simulation and analysis of 13N+p elastic resonance scattering

The ^13 N＋p elastic resonance scattering has been studied at the secondary radioactive beam facility of CIAE in inverse kinematics via a thick-target method. The excitation function for the ^13N（p,p） scattering was obtained in the energy interval of Ecru ≈0.5-3.2 MeV with a ^13 N secondary beam of （47.8±1.5） MeV. Careful analysis of the secondary beam components and extensive Monte-Carlo simulations enable the resolution of the experimental proton spectra. The resonance parameters for five low-lying levels in ^14 O were deduced by Rmatrix fitting calculations with MULTI7 and SAMMY-M6-BETA. The present results show general agreement with those from a recent similar work, and thus confirm the observation of a new 0^- level at 5.7 MeV in 140 with an improved width of 400（45） keV.
