Determination of the ~(12)C(p, γ)~(13)N reaction rates fromthe ~(12)C(~7Li,~6He)~(13)N reaction

The angular distribution of the 12C(7Li,6He)13N reaction at E(7Li) = 44.0 MeV was measured at the HI-13 tandem accelerator of Beijing, China. The asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) of 13N → 12C + p was derived to be (1.64 ± 0.11) fm-1/2 through the distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA) analysis. The ANC was then used to deduce the astrophysical S (E) factors and reaction rates for the 12C(p,γ)13N direct capture reaction at energies of astrophysical relevance.     

Measurement of Angular Distributions for Elastic Scattering of 16O+94Zr and 16O+116Sn Reactions

The angular distributions for elatic scattering of the two systems,¹⁶O+⁹⁴Zr at energies 52,57,59,62,72,82 and 92 MeV and ¹⁶O+¹¹⁶Sn at energies 57,59,62,67,72,82 and 92 MeV have been measured.The scattered ions were datected by the Beijing Q3D magnetic spectrometer and its heavy ion focal plane detector.The optical model analysis of the data was made with the Coupled Channels code ECIS, and the optical potential parameters have been obtained by fitting the data.Within the limited data,the phenomenon of the ‘threshold anomaly’is observed.     

Measuring clock jumps using pulsar timing

In this paper,we investigate the statistical signal-processing algorithm to measure the instant local clock jump from the timing data of multiple pulsars.Our algorithm is based on the framework of Bayesian statistics.In order to make the Bayesian algorithm applicable with limited computational resources,we dedicated our efforts to the analytic marginalization of irrelevant parameters.We found that the widely used parameter for pulsar timing systematics,the"Efac"parameter,can be analytically marginalized.This reduces the Gaussian likelihood to a function very similar to the Student’s t-distribution.Our iterative method to solve the maximum likelihood estimator is also explained in the paper.Using pulsar timing data from the Yunnan Kunming 40-m radio telescope,we demonstrate the application of the method,where 80-ns level precision for the clock jump can be achieved.Such a precision is comparable to that of current commercial time transferring service using satellites.We expect that the current method could help developing the autonomous pulsar time scale.     

Electron cooling experiments in CSR

The six species heavy ion beam was accumulated with the help of electron cooling in the main ring of Cooler Storage Ring of Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL-CSR). The ion beam accumulation dependence on the parameters of cooler was investigated experimentally. The 400 MeV/u ¹²C⁶⁺ and 200 MeV/u ¹²⁹Xe⁵⁴⁺ were stored and cooled in the experimental ring CSRe, and the cooling force was measured in different conditions.

     

Non-reproducibility of the Cross Sections Measured in the Dissipative Collisions of 19F+93Nb

Two independent measurements of excitation functions for the ¹⁹F+⁹³Nb dissipative heavy ion collisions have been performed at incident energies from 100 to 108 MeV in steps of 250 keV. The two measurements differed by two target foils, 70 and 71μg/cm², respectively. All the other experimental conditions were kept to be identical in hath experiments. The data indicate nonreptaludbility of the non-self-averaging oscillating yields in the two measurements. This supports recent theoretical predictions of extreme sensitivity and chaos in complex quantum collisions.     

Measuring clock jumps using pulsar timing

The Giant Radio Array for Neutrino Detection(GRAND) is a planned large-scale observatory of ultra-high-energy(UHE) cosmic particles, with energies exceeding 10~8 Ge V. Its goal is to solve the long-standing mystery of the origin of UHE cosmic rays. To do this, GRAND will detect an unprecedented number of UHE cosmic rays and search for the undiscovered UHE neutrinos and gamma rays associated to them with unmatched sensitivity. GRAND will use large arrays of antennas to detect the radio emission coming from extensive air showers initiated by UHE particles in the atmosphere. Its design is modular: 20 separate, independent sub-arrays, each of 10000 radio antennas deployed over 10000 km~2. A staged construction plan will validate key detection techniques while achieving important science goals early. Here we present the science goals, detection strategy, preliminary design, performance goals, and construction plans for GRAND.

Control of microstructure and gradient property of polymer network by photopolymerizable silicone‐containing nanogel

This article reports a new type of silicone‐containing nanogel. The nanogel was dispersed in triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) in increments between 10 and 40 wt % with a series of properties evaluated before and after polymerization. The nanogel raised monomer viscosity but did not significantly affect reaction kinetics or final conversion attained during photopolymerization. Polymerization stress was reduced progressively with the addition of nanogel with a significant delay in the onset of stress observed compared with the control. The self‐floating ability of the nanogel was demonstrated by elemental analysis and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. As a result, the nanogel spontaneously formed a concentration gradient in the monomer prior to photopolymerization, leading to a gradient change of properties of the polymer. The research on surface morphology and elemental composition of PTEGDMA indicated the enrichment of the nanogel on the polymer surface, which resulted in enhanced hydrophobic character along with altered surface microstructure. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The new model of fitting the spectral energy distributions of Mrk 421 and Mrk 501

The spectral energy distribution (SED) of TeV blazars has a double-humped shape that is usually interpreted as a Synchrotron Self Compton (SSC) model. The one zone SSC model is used broadly but cannot fit the high energy tail of SED very well. It needs a bulk Lorentz factor which is in conflict with the observation. Furthermore, a one zone SSC model cannot explain the entire spectrum. We propose a new model where the high energy emission is produced by the accelerated protons in the blob with a small size and high magnetic field, and the low energy radiation comes from the electrons in the expanded blob. Because the high and low energy photons are not produced at the same time, the requirement of a large Doppler factor from pair production is relaxed. We present the fitting results of the SEDs for Mrk 501 during April 1997 and Mrk 421 during March 2001.
