Comparison of Proton Shower Developments in the BGO Calorimeter of the Dark Matter Particle Explorer between GEANT4 and FLUKA Simulations

The DArk Matter Particle Explorer(DAMPE) is a satellite-borne detector for high-energy cosmic rays and y-rays. To fully understand the detector performance and obtain reliable physical results, extensive simulations of the detector are necessary. The simulations are particularly important for the data analysis of cosmic ray nuclei, which relies closely on the hadronic and nuclear interactions of particles in the detector material. Widely adopted simulation softwares include the GEANT4 and FLUKA,...     

β-delayed neutron decay of 21N

The β-delayed neutron and γ spectra of neutron-rich nucleus ²¹N using β-γ and β-n coincidence measurements were presented in this paper. Thirteen new neutron groups ranging from 0.28 MeV to 4.98 MeV and with a total branching ratio 88.7±4.2% were observed. One γ transition among the excited states of ²¹O, and four γ transitions among the excited states of ²⁰O were identified in the β decay chain of ²¹N. The ungated half-life of 83.8±2.1 ms was also determined for ²¹N.

闪烁体探测器中光的衰减通式(英文)

闪烁体探测器被广泛应用于当今粒子物理与原子核物理实验中。研究闪烁探测器的光衰减规律（LASD）对时间和能量的准确测量都十分重要,这一点对条形闪烁探测器尤为如此。本文以圆柱闪烁探测器为例,对各向同性的闪烁光进行立体角积分,进而研究不同立体角下光程差异对结果的影响。在数值计算的基础上,导出了描述LASD的通用公式。在一定条件下,公式可以约化为双指数衰减形式。对于DAMPE上PSD的实验数据,该公式能使闪烁体远端的拟合偏差从大约10%降低至2%以下。同时,模型也能够很好地描述Kaiser实验、Gierlik实验和Platino实验的实验数据。Scintillator detectors are widely used in modern nuclear and particle physics experiments. Studying the light attenuation of scintillator detector (LASD) is vitally important for extracting proper measurements of energy and time. In this paper, we integrate the isotropic fluorescence over solid angle to study the influence on overall light-intensity from varying optical path at different angle. Based on numerical results, a universal formula for describing LASD is derived. Under certain condition, our formula can be written as a form of widely-used double-exponential function. The universal formula describes the experimental data of PSD at DAMPE, reducing the maximum deviation at far-side of the scintillator from~10% to less than 2%. Moreover, our model also deciphers Kaiser's experiment, Gierlik's experiment and Platino's experiment successfully.

D201树脂吸附富马酸的机理及动力学分析

为实现富马酸高效经济的原位分离,详细探究了D201离子交换树脂吸附富马酸的机理及其动力学过程。首先,通过傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)证明了D201树脂对富马酸的吸附是树脂的季胺基与富马酸盐的羧基通过离子键相结合的化学吸附;第二,通过等温吸附方程及动力学方程拟合分析得出,吸附为均匀位点的单层吸附;在低p H值时吸附主要为单个位点占据吸附,吸附位点被充分利用;高p H值时主要为两位点占据吸附,吸附位点的利用率降低;颗粒内扩散是起始阶段的主要控速步骤,随着吸附反应的进行液膜扩散也成为控速步骤。此外,通过热力学参数计算证明了吸附过程是自发的可逆的吸热过程,本质上也是一种等量离子交换的传质过程。吸附温度、初始浓度及p H值是影响吸附性能的主要因素。研究结果明确了吸附过程的控速步骤及主要影响因素,为树脂柱的设计及操作参数的优化提供了理论依据,为进一步实现富马酸的同步发酵分离奠定了实验基础。
