A novel Micro-pattern gaseous detector （MPGD）, thick GEM with electrodes made of a resistive material （RETGEM） is presented. In this paper we mainly investigate the energy resolution of a RETGEM in Ar＋CO2 with different gas mixtures.

用于快中子探测的裂变电离室实验及模拟结果比较(英文)

本文报道了一种用于快中子测量的裂变电离室的实验及模拟结果对比,该电离室的裂变材料为238U,分别电镀在电离室的阳极和阴极。裂变电离室通常有三种工作模式:脉冲模式、均方电压模式和电流模式,从而在大动态范围内实现中子注量测量。我们利用252Cf中子源对工作在脉冲模式的裂变电离室效率进行了测量,同时为了评估均方电压模式和电流模式,测量了裂变电离室在不同气压下的脉冲幅度,并通过Geant4蒙特卡罗软件对裂变电离室的脉冲幅度进行了模拟。模拟可以解释实验结果,当工作气压是2.64×105 Pa时探测效率最高[（4.30±0.7）×10-7],且裂变碎片能谱清晰,表明裂变电离室可以工作在不同模式下。     

质子滴线核8B的实验研究进展

质子滴线核8B的最后一个质子的分离能只有0.137 5 MeV,被认为是最有可能具有质子晕结构的候选核之一,对其反应机制和奇特结构的研究吸引了人们的关注。针对8B的奇特结构和反应机制研究是一个非常有趣的课题,研究人员在包括反应截面、碎裂产物动量分布宽度、电四极矩、熔合截面及弹性散射等方面开展了大量的工作。但是8B的研究至今仍不够充分,需要从理论和实验上对其进行更深入的研究。     

20Mgβ衰变谱学与15O(α,γ)19Ne反应(英文)

15O（α,γ）19Ne（p,γ）20Na反应链是高温CNO循环向快速质子俘获过程突破的一条关键路径,相关的反应率输入量可通过20Mg的β衰变可布居19Ne共振态并测量其衰变性质来获得。通过高效率高精度地测量20Mg β衰变中产生的质子与γ射线得到了20Mg衰变的详细信息,并构建了完整的衰变纲图,还进行了19Ne 4 033 keV共振态衰变性质的探索,获得了该态在20Mg β衰变中被布居的分支比上限。通过比20Mg和20O镜像能级跃迁的结果确认了同位旋非对称性,为检验相关理论模型提供了精确的实验数据。对于突破路径中有重要影响的19Ne 4 033 keV共振态的性质,有待更高统计的实验进一步研究。The breakout from the hot CNO cycle to the rapid proton capture process can occur via the 15O(α,γ)19Ne(p,γ)20Na reaction sequence, and the β decay of 20Mg can be used as an alternative method to characterize some specific resonances, which will provide detailed nuclear structure input for reaction rate calculations. The reliable information on the decay properties and structure of 20Mg was obtained by measuring the emitted particles and γ-rays in the β decay with high efficiency and high resolution. Attempt was also made to search for the decay channels associated with the 4 033 keV resonance in 19Ne. To test fundamental symmetries, the transitions in the mirror decays of 20Mg and 20O were compared. The precise experimental data presented here would be important to constrain the theoretical calculations. It is desirable to clarify the astrophysically relevant problem by further experiments with improved statistics on the basis of the present work.     

MICROMEGAS一维位置编码读出初步测试

介绍了微型网状结构的气体探测器一维位置编码读出的基本原理和实现方法。设计了一块灵敏面积为10 cm×10 cm的一维位置编码PCB读出电极。测试表明: 感应读出是可行的, 电荷按1∶2分配最为理想; 利用55Fe放射源X射线通过200 μm狭缝对准读出电极PCB板的正面中任意一条, 位置编码读出能很好地再现源所在狭缝的位置。针对其局限性, 提出了一维位置分组编码读出技术, 以解决相邻多条同时点火的情况。使用该读出技术, 使一维读出电子学路数节省量达到75%以上。The basic principles and implementation of one dimensional position encoding read out for MICROMEGAS have been introduced in this paper. A 10 cm×10 cm prototype of one dimensional position encoding read out electrode based on printed circuit board was designed. Preliminary test indicates that the induction read out is feasible and the ideal charge distribution is 1∶2. X rays emitted from 55Fe source were collimated to one of strips on the read out electrode through a slit of 200 μm, position decoding well reproduced the position of the 55Fe source. For its limitations, we have proposed a one dimensional grouped position encoding read out technique to address a neighboring strips simultaneously fired situation. The amount of read out electronics is very easy to approach a obduction of 75% with position encoding read out technology.     

Investigation of the near-threshold cluster resonance in ~(14)C

An experiment for p(~(14)C,~(14)C~*→~(10)Be+α)p inelastic excitation and decay was performed in inverse kinematics at a beam energy of 25.3 Me V/u.A series of~(14)C excited states,including a new one at 18.3(1)Me V,were observed which decay to various states of the final nucleus of~(10)Be.A specially designed telescope system,installed around zero degrees,played an essential role in detecting the resonant states near theα-separation threshold.A state at 14.1(1)Me V is clearly identified,being consistent with the predicted band-head of the molecular rotational band characterized by theπ-bond linear chain configuration.Further clarification of the properties of this exotic state is suggested by using appropriate reaction tools.     

同轴结构中压力波法测量空间电荷分布的物理模型研究

从压力波法测量平板样本中空间电荷分布的理论分析出发,提出了对于同轴结构的固体电介质中空间电荷分布的压力波法测量的物理模型,并得出了测量电流的解析的数学表达式.依据泊松方程,考虑样品内的电场强度、介电常数和空间电荷密度随外界声波扰动而发生变化,将圆柱试样受到的压力波的影响分解成样品形变和质点位移两部分,进而得到了以同轴结构中空间电荷分布的压力波法测量的电压与电流表达式.测量电流的数学表达式表明,对于同轴结构,压力波法的测量电流信号不像平板结构中那样基本正比于空间电荷分布,而是应该做进一步的修正处理.     

Performance of a double sided silicon strip detector as a transmission detector for heavy ions

The performance of a double sided silicon strip detector （DSSSD）, which is used for the position and energy detection of heavy ions, is reported. The analysis shows that although the incomplete charge collection （ICC） and charge sharing （CS） effects of the DSSSD give rise to a loss of energy resolution, the position information is recorded without ambiguity. Representations of ICC/CS events in the energy spectra are shown and their origins are confirmed by correlation analysis of the spectra from both the junction side and ohmic side of the DSSSD.     

Prototype studies on the forward MWDC tracking array of the external target experiment at HIRFL-CSR

A prototype of the forward tracking array consisting of three multiwire drift chambers (MWDC) for the external target experiment (CEE) at the Heavy Ion Research Facility at the Lanzhou -Cooling Storage Ring (HIRFL-CSR) has been assembled and tested using cosmic rays. The signals from the anode wires are amplified and fed to a Flash-ADC to deliver the drift time and charge integration. The performances of the array prototype are investigated under various high voltages. For the tracking performances, after the space-time relation (STR) calibration and the detector displacement correction, the standard deviation of 223 μm of the residue is obtained. The performances of the forward MWDCs tracking array meets the requirements of CEE in design.
