PandaX实验的进展与展望

PandaX是位于四川的中国锦屏地下实验室（CJPL）内的,利用氙作为工作物质,探测暗物质等其它极稀有事件的大型地下粒子探测实验计划。PandaX探测器中的氙工作在气液两相的模式。通过检测液相和气相中闪烁光强的比例,实现对目标粒子包括WIMP和Axion等疑似信号的鉴别。PandaX已顺利完成了有效区体积约为120 kg氙的一期计划,目前正在运行实施有效区体积约为500 kg氙的二期计划。在WIMP质量为45 GeV/c2附近,探测灵敏度达2.97×10-45 cm2（90%置信度）,没有发现WIMP疑似信号。本工作介绍了PandaX一期和二期的进展,以及后续升级计划,其中包括升级PandaX的时间投影室至4吨,建造用于屏蔽岩石放射性本底的水屏蔽,以及136Xe双贝塔衰变的研究计划等。PandaX is a xenon-based dark matter and other rare events searching project located at China JinPing underground Laboratory (CJPL), Sichuan province, China. Dual phases, liquid and gas phase of xenon are used in the detector. Particles, including Weak Interaction Massive Particles (WIMPs) or axions etc., may induce scintillating signals in both liquid (S1 signal) and gas (S2 signal) phases, and then are identified by analyzing the ratio of S1 and S2. The PandaX had completed its first stage, the 120 kg in fiducial volume, and now is running in its stage Ⅱ with fiducial volume of 500 kg. The running results show that the WIMP-matter cross section detecting sensitivity of about 2.97×10-45 cm2(90% C.L.) has been achieved at a WIMP mass of 44.7 GeV/c2, and no WIMP candidates are identified. The upgrading plan of the PandaX is discussed, which include to build a larger Time project chamber (TPC) of about 4 tons, a water tank for radiation shielding, and the plan of 136Xe double beta decay studies.     

Photons from a Chemically Equilibrating Quark-Gluon Plasma at Finite Baryon Density

We study hard photon production in a chemically equilibrating quark-gluon plasma at finite baryon density based on the Juttner distribution of partons of the system. We find that the photon yield is a strongly increasing function of the initial quark chemical potential.     

Photon Production in a Chemically Equilibrating Quark-Gluon Plasma at Finite Baryon Density： Complete Leading Order Results

We investigate hard photon production of the near-collinear bremsstrahlung and a new process called the inelastic pair annihilation, fully including the LPM effect, in a chemically equilibrating quark-gluon plasma at finite baryon density, and find that the effect of the system evolution on the photon production and large contribution of the bremsstrahlung make the total photon yield of the two processes as a strongly increasing function of the initial quark chemical potential.     

中子分布弥散度对反应总截面的影响

在引入库仑场修正的Glauber模型基础上,区分入射弹核和靶核中的中子、质子,并考虑有限力程相互作用,发展了一个计算核反应总截面的微观修正模型.如果引入一个核内中子分布弥散度随中子分离能的变化关系,则能较好地解释奇异核(如⁸He,¹¹Li,¹¹Be)反应总截面的反常增加.同时,该修正模型还能在低能到高能的范围内较好地拟会稳定核的反应总截面.     

朗之万方程模拟核裂变碎片的同位旋标度

使用结合朗之万方程和统计分支的组合模型模拟¹¹²Sn+¹¹²Sn和¹¹⁶Sn+¹¹⁶Sn两个同位旋相关的反应系统, 通过高斯分布采样的方式得到了核裂变的碎片分布, 将两系统碎片的同位素和同中子异位素的分布相比, 发现存在同位旋标度律现象. 同时提取了同位旋标度系数, 发现同位旋标度系数是和碎片分布宽度相关的, 并且同能量、单位质量的粘滞系数也有很强的依赖关系.     

轻粒子产额及其关联的同位旋效应

用晶格气体模型系统地研究了热发射体的粒子发射特性,阐述了发射体系的同位旋对轻系统的中子、带电粒子和轻粒子产额,以及对轻粒子产额比和双产额同位素比的影响.发现轻粒子产额和产额比是复合系统同位旋的敏感观测量,而双产额同位素比几乎不依赖于体系的同位旋.     

高能核物理前沿：探寻夸克-胶子等离子体

对于我们身处的物质世界,现代物理学认为它是起源于约150 亿至200 亿年前的一次宇宙大爆炸。在宇宙的早期,物质的温度和密度都相当大,整个宇宙体系达到平衡。初始的宇宙间只有正反夸克、轻子、胶子等一些基本粒子形态的物质。     

中能重离子碎裂反应的同位旋效应及其消失

用修正的统计擦去模型计算了中能重离子碎裂反应产生的同位素分布的同位旋效应,发现随着(Z_proj–Z)/Z_proj的增大,碎裂反应的同位旋效应将逐渐减小直到消失.同时,研究表明碎裂反应的同位旋效应的消失主要是由擦去阶段的几何效应和随后的蒸发效应导致的.     

A possible experimental observable for the determination of neutron skin thickness

The dependence between neutron skin thickness and neutron abrasion cross section （σnabr） for neutron-rich nuclei is investigated within the framework of the statistical abrasion ablation model. Assuming that the density distributions for proton and neutron are of Fermi-type, and adjusting the diffuseness parameter of neutron density distribution in the droplet model, we find out the good linear correlation between the neutron skin thickness and the abrasion cross section σnabr for neutron-rich nuclei. The uncertainty of neutron skin thickness determined from σnabr is very small. It is suggested that σnabr can be used as a new experimental observable to extract the neutron skin thickness for neutronrich nucleus. The scaling behaviours between neutron skin thickness and σnabr, separately, for isotopes of ^26-35Na, ^44-56Ar, ^48-60Ca, ^67-78Ni are also investigated.     

Shanghai laser electron gamma source and its applications

Shanghai Laser Electron Gamma Source, a high intensity beam line of γ-ray, is expected to generate γ-rays up to the maximum energy of 22 MeV by Compton backscattering between a CO₂ laser and electrons in the 3.5 GeV storage ring of the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The luminosity of SLEGS γ-ray beam is estimated to be 7×10⁷ A^－1W^－1s^－1 in a optimized setup. Indirect measurement of cross section of the key nuclear-astrophysics reaction ¹²C(α,γ)¹⁶O and γ-ray-triggered transmutation of long-lived radioactive wastes are discussed based on the estimated SLEGS γ-ray beam properties.
