A theoretical description of energy spectra and two-neutron separation energies for neutron-rich zirconium isotopes

Very recently the atomic masses of neutron-rich Zr isotopes, from ⁹⁶Zr to ¹⁰⁴Zr, have been measured with high precision. Using a schematic Interacting Boson Model (IBM) Hamiltonian, the evolution from spherical to deformed shapes along the chain of Zr isotopes, describing at the same time the excitation energies as well as the two-neutron separation energies, can be rather well reproduced. The interplay between phase transitions and configuration mixing of intruder excitations in this mass region is succinctly addressed.     

Experimental beta-decay energies of very neutron-rich Cs isotopes

TheQ _β-values of the very neutron-rich cesium isotopes with mass number 142≤A≤146 have been measured with a plastic scintillation detector telescope at the fission product separator OSTIS. The mass excesses calculated from these decay energies agree well with the values obtained by direct mass determinations.     

Pairing-energy coefficients of neutron-rich fragments in spallation reactions

The ratio of pairing-energy coefficient to temperature(a_p/T)of neutron-rich fragments produced in spallation reactions has been investigated by adopting an isobaric yield ratio method deduced in the framework of a modified Fisher model.A series of spallation reactions,0.5A and 1A Ge V~(208)Pb+p,1A Ge V~(238)U+p,0.5A Ge V~(136)Xe+d,0.2A,0.5A and 1A Ge V~(136)Xe+p,and~(56)Fe+p with incident energy ranging from 0.3A to 1.5A Ge V,has been analysed.An obvious odd-even staggering is shown in the fragments with small neutron excess(I≡N-Z),and in the relatively small-A fragments which have large I.The values of a_p/T for the fragments,with I from 0 to36,have been found to be in a range from-4 to 4,and most values of a_p/T fall in the range from-1 to 1.It is suggested that a small pairing-energy coefficient should be considered in predicting the cross sections of fragments in spallation reactions.It is also concluded that the method proposed in this article is not good for fragments with A/A_s85%(where A_(s )is the mass number of the spallation system).

Quantum Monte Carlo calculation for the neutron-rich Ca isotopes

We computed ground-state energies of calcium isotopes from ⁴²Ca to ⁴⁸Ca by means of the Auxiliary Field Diffusion Monte Carlo (AFDMC) method. Calculations were performed by replacing the ⁴⁰Ca core with a mean-field self-consistent potential computed using the Skyrme interaction. The energy of the external neutrons is calculated by projecting the ground state from a wave function built with the single-particle orbitals computed in the self-consistent external potential. The shells considered were the 1F _7/2 and the 1F _5/2 . The Hamiltonian employed is semi-realistic and includes tensor, spin-orbit and three-body forces. While absolute binding energies are too deep if compared with experimental data, the differences between the energies for nearly all isotopes are in very good agreement with the experimental data.     

Cross-section prediction for isotopes near neutron drip line in ~(70, 80)Zn projectile fragmentation reactions

The cross sections for ~(59,60)Ca, recently measured in the 345 A MeV ~(70)Zn+~9 Be reaction,were estimated using the FRACS parametrization and an empirical formula,which are in good agreement.The FRACS parametrization and the empirical formula are combined to predict the cross sections for extreme calcium isotopes ~(66,70)Ca in the~(70,80)Zn+~9 Be reactions at the incident energies of ~(60,80),and 345 A MeV.The dependence of emperical formula parameters on the reaction system,as well as the incident energy,are discussed.The results indicate that ~(66,70)Ca can be discovered in reactions of ~(60,80)A MeV ~(80)Zn+~9 Be.The predicted binding energy for extreme neutron-rich isotopes by the spherical relativistic continuum Hartree-Bogoliubov theory was adopted in the calculation.Hence,the planned Beijing Isotope-Separation-On Line Neutron-Rich Beam Facility(BISOL),which is a third generation radioactive ion beam facility,could provide the opportunity to discover ~(66,70) Ca and neighboring neutron-drip line nuclei.

Towards a nuclear charge radius determination for beryllium isotopes

We propose determination of isotope shifts for radioactive beryllium isotopes using laser cooled ions in a linear radio frequency (RF) trap. Based on these measurements, combined with precise mass shift calculations, it will be possible to extract model-independent nuclear charge radii of ^7,9,10Be and the one-neutron halo ¹¹Be with precision better than 3%. Radioactive beryllium isotopes produced at ISOLDE and ionized with a laser ion source will be cooled and bunched in the radio frequency quadrupole buncher of ISOLTRAP. Ion temperatures will be reduced to the mK range by sympathetic cooling with co-trapped laser cooled ions in a specially designed two-stage linear RF trap. Resonances will be detected via fluorescence and frequencies measured with a femtosecond frequency comb.     

Direct evidence for the onset of intruder configurations in neutron-rich Ne isotopes

We report on direct experimental evidence of the population of the 3/²⁻$3/2^{-}$ intruder state in ²⁷Ne in the knockout of a single neutron from the ground state of ²⁸Ne. This low-lying negative parity state is consistent with a narrower shell gap for exotic nuclei with Z?N$Z?N$ and N≈20$N\approx 20$. Monte Carlo shell-model calculations with the modern SDPF-M interaction successfully describe neutron-rich nuclei in the vicinity of N=20$N=20$ where normal and intruder configurations coexist at low excitation energy. This observation demonstrates the importance of direct reactions for the study of exotic nuclei and the predictive power of these large-scale shell-model calculations.     

Prompt neutron multiplicity distribution for 235U(n,f) at incident energies up to 20 MeV

For the n+<'235>U fission reaction, the total excitation energy partition of the fission fragments, the average neutron kinetic energy <ε>(A) and the total average energies E<,γ>(A) removed by γ rays as a function of fission fragment mass are given at incident energies up to 20 MeV. The prompt neutron multiplicity as a function of the fragment mass, ν(A), for neutron-induced fission of <'235>U at different incident neutron energies is calculated. The calculated results are checked with the total average prompt neutron multiplicities ν and compared with the experimental and evaluated data. Some prompt neutron and γ emission mechanisms are discussed.     

Experimental beta-decay energies of very neutron-rich isobars with mass numbers A=101 and A=102

TheQ -values of¹⁰¹Rb,^101,102Sr and^101,102Y have been measured for the first time at the mass separator ISOLDE by means of-coincidence techniques with a plastic scintillation detector telescope and a large Ge(HP)-detector. For some of these nuclei, also new details of their decay schemes could be derived from the measured-decay properties. The experimental results are discussed, as far as the systematics of two-neutron separation energies derived from them is concerned. In addition, the nuclear masses deduced from theseQ -values are compared with the predictions of recent mass calculations.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Peter Armbruster on the occasion of his 60th birthday

Theoretical study on isotope separation of an ytterbium atomic beam by laser deflection

Isotope separation by laser deflecting an atomic beam is analyzed theoretically. Interacting with a tilted onedimensional optical molasses, an ytterbium atomic beam is split into multi-beams with different isotopes like172Yb,173Yb, and174Yb. By using the numerical calculation, the dependences of the splitting angle on the molasses laser intensity and detuning are studied, and the optimal parameters for the isotope separation are also investigated. Furthermore, the isotope separation efficiency and purity are estimated. Finally a new scheme for the efficient isotope separation is proposed. These findings will give a guideline for simply obtaining pure isotopes of various elements.     

模拟全血基体中铅及其同位素的富集与分离研究

利用富集分离方法,克服高浓度基体对铅浓度及铅同位素测定的影响。应用专利方法对模拟全血基体中的铅进行富集分离,用ICP-MS测定富集分离前后的铅浓度、基体浓度及铅同位素比值。富集分离后的铅回收率均在99%以上,对Na和K等主要离子的去除率约为80%;各个铅同位素的浓度值随着基体浓度的增大而减小(p<0.001),但铅各同位素的比值则与基体浓度无关;当基体浓度>62.5μg.mL-1时,各个铅同位素强度会随着测定次数的增加而迅速衰减。富集分离专利方法对复杂基体中痕量铅的回收率高,对杂质离子的去除率较好;明显消除了高浓度基体对ICP-MS进样系统的堵塞现象,操作简便、成本低、引入污染少,可以提高各个铅同位素浓度测定的准确度和精密度,且对铅同位素比值测定准确度无明显影响。     

Experimental study of a modified dual-type high-voltage electrode for electrostatic separation applications

Several electrode arrangements have been proposed to enhance the efficiency of insulating materials charging by corona discharge. Recent studies pointed out that the presence of metal strips in the proximity of a dual-type high voltage electrode increases the total current measured at the surface of the collecting electrode, decreases the corona onset voltage value and enlarges the reparation of current density as well. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the benefits of using such an electrode arrangement for corona charging of non-conductive particulate materials in belt-type corona-electrostatic separators. The experimental study was carried out with samples of Aluminum and Polystyrene particles in the size class 125–250 μm. The presence of grounded strips reduces the electric wind, which is associated to corona discharge but not tolerated in such processes that involve micronized materials. At the same time, it improves the corona charging conditions of non-conductive materials and as consequence the overall efficiency of the corona-electrostatic separation process. The use of the new electrode configuration is characterized by both high recovery rates and better purities of the separated products.
