高压倍加器靶单元组件对源中子能谱影响研究

靶单元组件对中子有散射和吸收作用,与入射粒子也会发生反应,因此高压倍加器中子场在空间的分布除了由反应本身的角分布决定外,还受到靶单元组件的影响。实验利用飞行时间法测量了高压倍加器T(d,n)4He 中子源产生的实际中子场,测量角度为0°~95°,共8 个角度,采用伴随 粒子法对入射束流进行归一。借助蒙特卡罗方法模拟实验过程和靶单元组件等对中子场分布的影响,将实验结果同模拟计算得到的结果进行了比较与分析,为高压倍加器相关实验布局的合理布置和靶单元组件的优化提供了一定的依据。The spatial distribution of neutron field for the High Voltage Multiple Accelerator (HVMA) is not only determined by the angular distribution of the reaction itself, but also affected by scattering and absorption of the target unit. Meanwhile, undesired nuclear reactions of the incoming ions with the target and self-target build-up may contribute to this neutron background, which disturbs the primary neutron field. The spatial distribution of actual neutron field generated by T(d, n)4He on HVMA was measured using the flight-time method. The neutron emission energy spectra were measured at 8 different angles from 0° to 95°. The results were monitored by the accompanying-particle method. TARGET and MCNP (Monte Carlo simulation process) programs were used to simulate the experiment. The results of simulated calculation were compared with the experimental data. The analyzed results will give some qualitative and quantitative conclusions for target unit optimizing and provide some foundational works for physical measurement in HVMA.     

20MeV以下快中子与56Fe非弹性散射截面的分歧研究

56Fe的非弹性散射截面在核装置中子输运计算中扮演着重要的角色,但无论从实验数据还是从评价数据,非弹性散射截面都存在很大分歧,它的数据直接影响到核装置的设计、建造与运行维护。本工作从实验数据本身出发,深入分析了不同实验室测得的847 keV的γ产生截面的分歧,经转化后补充非弹性散射截面的实验空白能区,并同时利用满足全截面、去弹截面等截面自洽关系的评价方法推荐了高精度的快中子与56Fe的非弹反应截面结果。积分检验表明,新的非弹截面的改进使得评价数据与积分实验结果一致,较CENDL-3.1的评价数据结果有显著改善。Knowledge about the inelastic scattering cross section of 56Fe is very important in neutron transportation calculation. However there are great discrepancies not only between experimental data but also between evaluated data. More detail analysis was performed for inelastic scattering cross section in the fast range up to 20 MeV where there are significant differences among the main evaluated libraries, mainly caused by the different inelastic scattering cross section measurements. The large discrepancies on 56Fe(n, n₁'γ) cross section which could fill the neutron energy blank of the 56Fe(n,inl) were clarified and were converted to the inelastic scattering cross section of 56Fe. And the high-quality results were evaluated by using the unitarity constrain among total cross section, noelastic reaction and other reactions. The integral experiment result indicates that the new evaluated result of inelastic cross section brings greater improvement than that of CENDL-3.1.     

BC501A中子探测器的能量刻度及其在聚乙烯中子学积分实验中的应用

利用标准放射伽玛源（22Na,137Cs）测量了尺寸为Φ5.08 cm×2.54 cm的BC501A中子探测器的脉冲幅度谱,并利用MCNP软件进行了模拟,详细考虑了探测器的几何尺寸、材料、以及能量分辨函数,计算结果很好地再现了实验数据,精确地确定了康普顿边缘的位置,完成了BC501A中子探测器的能量刻度。并采用14.8 MeV的T（d,n）4He中子源对聚乙烯样品开展了中子学积分实验,结果表明,BC501 A中子探测器的能量刻度过程以及聚乙烯中子学积分实验数据的处理过程是完全合理并且可靠的。The pulse-height spectra of the BC501A scintillator (Φ5.08 cm×2.54 cm) were measured using 22Na, 137Cs γ-ray source, in which MCNP simulation was applied. The simulated pulse-height spectra show a good agreement with the measured data considering the geometry, material and energy resolution function of the scintillator. The position of the Compton edge has been precisely determined and an accurate energy calibration of BC501A scintillator was also achieved. An neutronics integral experiment of polythene with 14.8 MeV T(d, n)4He neutron source was carried out. The results indicate that the procedures of the energy calibration experiment of BC501A scintillator and the data analyzing in the polythene integral experiment are reasonable and reliable.     

Physical Manipulation of Lanthanide‐Activated Photoluminescence

Versatile manipulation of lanthanide photoluminescence not only enables a more thorough understanding of the luminescent mechanism, but also promotes their widespread applications including advanced display and security, bioimaging and biotherapy, and sensors. The traditional chemical methods, engineering of composition, concentration, size, morphology, and surface defects, can easily tune the excitation, energy transfer and emission processes and have been frequently used. Despite the powerful ability to control luminescence intensity and selectivity, these chemical approaches suffer from cumbersome synthesis processes and are usually time consuming and irreversible. Recently, there have been numerous examples of physical approaches realizing in situ, real time, and reversible luminescence manipulation for certain materials under a given excitation. Herein, the existing physical strategies comprising temperature, magnetic field, electric field, and mechanical stress are summarized. For each approach, the action mechanism, material design, applications, as well as current challenges are discussed, and possible development directions and broadening of the potential application areas are considered.     

The fourth power moment of automorphic -functions for over a short interval

In this paper we will prove bounds for the fourth power moment in the aspect over a short interval of automorphic -functions for on the central critical line Re. Here is a fixed holomorphic or Maass Hecke eigenform for the modular group , or in certain cases, for the Hecke congruence subgroup with . The short interval is from a large to . The proof is based on an estimate in the proof of subconvexity bounds for Rankin-Selberg -function for Maass forms by Jianya Liu and Yangbo Ye (2002) and Yuk-Kam Lau, Jianya Liu, and Yangbo Ye (2004), which in turn relies on the Kuznetsov formula (1981) and bounds for shifted convolution sums of Fourier coefficients of a cusp form proved by Sarnak (2001) and by Lau, Liu, and Ye (2004).
