储存环HIAF-SRing等时性模式的非线性磁场影响研究

高精度环形谱仪SRing（Spectrometer Ring）是强流重离子加速器装置（HIAF）的重要组成部分,其等时性模式为远离β稳定线的短寿命原子核质量和寿命的精确测量提供国际领先的科研条件。为了扩大短寿命原子核质量测量精度和范围,SRing等时性模式设计了两种光学:γ_t=1.43和1.67。质量分辨是衡量等时性储存环的最重要参数。二极磁铁的高阶场以及磁铁的边缘场能强烈地引起束流光学高阶畸变,对质量分辨产生影响,因此需要高极磁铁对其进行校正。介绍了SRing等时性模式的线性计算,对非线性磁场的影响进行了详细研究。应用六极磁铁和八极磁铁对非线性场和发射度的影响进行了校正后,离子的循环时间标准偏差σ（T）/T达到3.5×10-7,质量分辨△m/m达到1×106。The isochronous mode of the Spectrometer Ring at the High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) project in China offers the capacity of measuring the mass and half-life of short-lived nuclides. The transition energy settings of the SRing are 1.43 and 1.67, which have been calculated in the same injection scheme. The resolution of mass or revolution time is the most important parameter of the isochronous mode design of a storage ring. The nonlinear magnetic field errors, including high-order magnet field of dipole, fringe field of magnets, have strongly effect to the resolution of revolution time. High-order corrections are required to improve the resolution of revolution time and mass. In this paper, the SRing linear isochronous optical were shown. The influence of nonlinear magnetic field errors on the revolution time resolving power were investigated. With 3 sextupole families and 1 octupole family corrections, the relative variation of revolution time reaches 4.6×10-7 with the momentum spread of ±0.2%. The relation of the relative standard revolution time deviation σ(T)/T and revolution turns was researched. With corrections of high-order isochronous condition and emittance influence by 3 sextupole families and 1 octupole family, one can reach a resolution of up to σ(T)/T=3.5×10-7, which corresponds to the mass resolution of △m/m=1×106.     

核素图评述与新设计

核素图是原子核科学与技术领域基本的工具之一。基于原子核基本性质实验数据评估(The NUBASE2020 evaluation of nuclear physics properties)的公开数据制作了核素图,用颜色和文字展示了目前已知的基态原子核性质,包括同位素丰度、放射性衰变类型、半衰期、质量误差等实验信息。本工作评述了核素图数据可视化的最新进展,简述了核素版图的拓展历史和德国卡尔斯鲁厄核素图的发行历史,介绍了新版核素图的设计细节和未来展望,推荐了免费以及开源的核素图绘制程序。同时,还设计了印刷版核素图,计划随AME和NUBASE新版本发行同步更新,使它们成为展示NUBASE数据库简明信息的常规媒介。     

核素等时性质量测量实验中一种基于离子速度纯化次级束的方法

等时性质量谱仪（Isochronous Mass Spectrometry,IMS）是测量短寿命核素质量的有效实验装置。在IMS核素质量测量实验过程中,目标核素通过弹核碎裂反应产生,并被次级束流线分离、传输后注入到储存环内。由于远离稳定线的目标核素产额非常低,经常伴随大量杂质核素产生,这些杂质离子会加重飞行时间探测器（Time of Flight,TOF）系统的工作负担。在HIRFL-CSR利用IMS进行核素质量测量实验过程中,发展了一种进一步纯化筛选次级离子的方法,以减轻TOF系统的工作负担。基于次级离子在束流线中飞行速度的差异性,利用HIRFL-CSR踢轨磁铁（Kicker）系统,调节次级束流注入CSRe的时间,使次级离子得到进一步筛选和纯化后注入到CSRe内。在实验中,我们测试并验证了该方法的可行性,并讨论了它在纯化次级束流方面的作用。The isochronous Mass Spectrometry (IMS) is a powerful experimental instrument for measuring masses of short-lived nuclides.In the IMS,the nuclides of interest are produced via the projectile fragmentation reaction,then injected into the storage ring after the in-flight separation with beam line.The yields of the nuclides of interest are usually very small accompanying a huge amount of contaminant nuclides,aggravating the load of time-of-flight (TOF) detector.In the IMS nuclear mass measurement experiment conducted at the HIRFL-CSR,we developed a method of purifying the secondary beam fragments to ease the burden of the TOF detector,which is based on the differences of the ions' velocities in the beam line and realized by adjusting the injection time of secondary fragments using the Kicker system of the HIRFL-CSR.We tested and verified the method in an online experiment,and its performance is discussed in this paper.
