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.     

The charge exchange reaction dp → (pp)n

The ratio of the differential cross section of the charge exchange reaction of the deuteron to that of the nucleon, at small transferred momenta, has been discussed in order to estimate the spin-dependent part of the np → pn charge exchange amplitude.

A QCD-Inspired Model for the Deuteron Form Factors in the Intermediate-Q2 Region

Based on a perturbative QCD analysis of the deuteron form factors a QCD-inspired model is suggested. The contributions of helicity-flip matrix elements to the deuteron form factors are discussed. Our numerical results are consistent with the data in the intermediate-Q² region.     

Energy calibration of tagged photons by the d（γ,π~-pp） reaction

The energy of tagged photons, which were provided from the internal photon tagging system of the Laboratory of Nuclear Science, Tohoku University, has been calibrated using the d（γ,π-pp） reaction. Charged pions and protons in the final state were detected with the Neutral Kaon Spectrometer （NKS2）. Photon energies were obtained from the reaction of d（γ,π-pp）. The derived photon energy was consistent with the design of the tagger system and the previous measurement using electron-positron pair production. The consistency demonstrates the performance of NKS2 and the capability of the photon energy calibration using d（γ,π-pp）.     

氘代乙烷团簇库仑爆炸产生高能氘核和中子的研究

采用简化库仑爆炸模型对强激光脉冲照射氘代乙烷团簇发生的库仑爆炸过程进行数值模拟,研究了氘代乙烷团簇爆炸产生的氘核动能、中子产额与团簇尺寸的关系,且与氘代甲烷团簇产生的氘核动能及中子产额进行了比较.研究表明,尺寸为5 nm的氘代乙烷团簇在发生库仑爆炸后氘核的最大动能为20.96 keV,获得的中子产额为6.31×105,比同尺寸氘代甲烷团簇产生的氘核最大动能及中子产额更大.因此相对于氘代甲烷团簇,大尺寸的氘代乙烷团簇更适合作为激光驱动团簇库仑爆炸获得高额中子的靶材,这与报道的实验推论相一致.     

A Discussion of Deuteron Transverse Charge Densities

The deuteron transverse charge density ρC(b) is the two-dimensional Fourier transform of its charge form factor in the impact space. We show that different parameterizations of the charge form factors provide different ρC(b),in particular at the central value of impact parameter(b = 0), although all the parameterizations can well reproduce the form factors in the region of small Q2. In addition, we also check the explicit contributions from the different coordinate intervals of the deuteron wave function to its root-mean-square radius.     

An estimate of two-photon exchange effect on deuteron electromagnetic form factors

The effect of the two-photon exchange on the deuteron electromagnetic form factors is estimated based on an effective Lagrangian approach. A numerical estimate calculation of the effect is discussed. In particular, the effect on the polarization observables is analyzed.

Production scheme for diagnostic-therapeutic radioisotopes by accelerator neutrons

Interest has been growing in the development of medical radioisotopes used for noninvasive nuclear medicine imaging of disease and cancer therapy. Especially the development of an alternative production scheme of ⁹⁹Mo, the mother radioisotope of ^99mTc used for imaging, is required, because the current supply chain of the reactor product ⁹⁹Mo is fragile worldwide. We have proposed a new production scheme of ⁹⁹Mo as well as therapeutic radioisotopes, such as ⁶⁴Cu and ⁶⁷Cu, using accelerator neutrons provided by the ^natC(d,n) reaction. Based on this scheme we have obtained high-quality ^99mTc, ⁶⁴Cu, and ⁶⁷Cu suitable for clinical use by developing both production and separation methods of the radioisotopes. We proposed a new facility to constantly and reliably produce a wide variety of high-quality, carrier-free radioisotopes, including ⁹⁹Mo, with accelerator neutrons. We report on the development of the proposed scheme and future prospects of the facility toward the domestic production of medical radioisotopes.
