基于HI-13串列加速器在束γ终端原子核激发态寿命测量的核结构研究

利用在HI-13串列加速器的在束γ终端上建立的多普勒线移衰减法、反冲距离多普勒线移法和快时间延迟符合法等3种寿命测量方法,开展了原子核手征对称性、磁转动等核结构热点课题的研究工作。实验结果表明,130Cs的伙伴带具有很好的手征特性,而106Ag的候选带并非手征双带。根据测量的能级寿命提取的B（M1）值表明,106Ag的正宇称晕带和107Ag的正、负宇称晕带都具有典型的磁转动特性。此外,寿命测量数据还为解释和理解不同的同位素链中展现出的形状演化、形状共存、形状相变及临界点对称性等物理现象提供了有价值的实验证据。 The significance and principle of lifetime measurements of excited states in nuclei are briefly described. By using the recoil-distance Doppler-shift method, the Doppler-shift attenuation method, and the fast-timing technique established at the in-beam γ terminal of HI-13 tandem accelerator, nuclear structure studies on topical subjects including chiral symmetries and magnetic rotation have been performed. Our experimental results indicate that 130Cs shows better chiral characteristics, however, the two candidate bands of 106Ag could not be a pair of chiral doublet bands. For magnetic rotation, the deduced B(M1) values deduced from the measured level lifetimes clearly demonstrate that the yrast positive-parity band in 106Ag and both the yrast positiveand negative-parity bands in 107Ag are magnetic rotation bands. In addition, our lifetime measurement data also provide valuable experimental evidences for the interpretation and understanding of the shape evolution, the shape coexistence, and the critical-point symmetries of shape phase transition in the different isotope chains.     

A capacitance servo control plunger for accurate lifetime measurement

The recoil distance Doppler shift method has been widely used in the study of nuclear structure to determine the level lifetime and absolute transition probabilities.A capacitance servo control plunger based on this method has been successfully developed by the Nuclear Structure Group of the China Institute of Atomic Energy.Three microscopes were employed to check the parallelism and can therefore guarantee a delicate measurement of the distance between the target and the stopper.This new plunger made a successful performance in the test experiment and the measured lifetime of the 2~+→0~+ transition in ~(78)Kr is in agreement with the previous value.     

New high spin level scheme of 87Sr

High spin states of the odd-A ⁸⁷Sr were populated by the fusion-evaporation reaction ⁸²Se(⁹Be, 4n) ⁸⁷Sr at a beam energy of 46 MeV. Excited levels of ⁸⁷Sr have been extended up to an excitation energy of 7.4 MeV at spin 31/2ħ. The coupling of a g_9/2 neutron hole to the yrast states of the ⁸⁸Sr core can account for the low-lying states in ⁸⁷Sr. The structure of the higher spin states is discussed by analogy with those of the neighboring odd-A N=49 isotones and possible configurations are proposed.     

基于瞬发伽马谱学的元素重建算法

质子治疗中的瞬发伽马射线是质子和靶标之间核反应的产物,瞬发伽马射线的特征能量和强度可以用来确定靶中元素的种类和数量,在之前的实验中已经证明,无论反应截面多么复杂,一旦确定了被照射元素和入射质子的能量,元素浓度与伽马射线光子数之间就存在一定的线性关系。然而,这种线性关系很难应用于医学成像,而且氢的非线性行为迄今尚未研究。本文将这种线性关系推广到包括氢等非线性情况的混合元素材料,并提出了一种通用的数学形式,即基于瞬发伽马谱学的重建算法 (PGSRA)。PGSRA的基本假设是样品材料的PGS与元素的每摩尔伽马射线有某种关系。对于碳和氧,这种关系是线性的,而对于氢,这种关系是非线性的。由于2.23 MeV的伽马线来源于中子吸收辐射,我们仔细研究了氢非线性行为。利用蒙特卡罗模拟验证了碳、氧和氢的不同组合,如PMMA、戊二醇和乙醇二醇的线性和非线性关系。在这项工作中开发的PGSRA可能是PGS和医学成像之间的第一座桥梁。
