Study of Photon Discrimination of PHOS

The PHOS which in ALICE is to detect and identify real photons and measure with high resolution their 4-momentum with the prospect to perform the physics programs exploiting direct photon and light neutral mesons as privileged probes. The PHOS is composed…     

Evaluation of decay data of 213Bi

213Bi disintegrates (97.91±0.03) % by β- emission to the levels in 213po, and (2.09±0.03) % through α decay to 209Tl. The evaluation of the complete decay scheme and data of 213Bi including the recent new measurements are presented in this report. The Limitation of Relative Statistical Weight Method (LWM) was applied to average numbers throughout the evaluation. The uncertainty assigned to the average value was always greater than or equal to the smallest uncertainty of the values used to calculate the average. The half-life is determined to be 45.59±0.06 minutes. All known measured gamma-ray relative emission probabilities have been examined. And the gamma-ray emission probability of the reference γ line of 440.44keV is recommended to be (26.1±0.3) %. The calculated internal conversion coefficients and their uncertainties have been used to obtain the complete decay intensity balance. The other decay characteristics are calculated using the ENSDF analysis program. Finally the new 213Bi decay scheme was re-built.     

Calculation of Transverse Acceptance of CYCIAE-100

The acceptance of central region should be considered after the central ray is finished. This can check whether the central region design is reasonable or not, because in practice it is the bunched beam     

Study of Fine Structure of Λ Hyper-nuclei

The energy levels of p-shell hyper-nuclei Λ7Li, Λ9Be and 1Λ6O are investigated using the Hyperball spectrometer with energy resolutions of a few keV at KEK and AGS.A complete bound state level scheme of Λ7Li is established. The strength of the ΛN spi     

Trial Manufacture of Core Subassemblies of CEFR

Engineering department of CEFR selected factories to research manufacturing process of subassemblies in March 2001. By November 2001, the trial productions of several materials have been completed. Meanwhile two B4C shielding subassemblies and two support legs of steel reflecting subassembly, which are used in hydrodynamic and structural stability out-of-pile tests, and three B4C rods which are irradiated in-pile have been assembled.     

Calculation of Transverse Acceptance of CYCIAE-100

CARR燃料组件是板状元件，共有21块燃料板和20个矩形冷却流道。流道宽度不均匀，从外到内分别有2．59、2．45、2．32和2．20mm4种宽度，长度均为66．6mm。燃料组件的主要特点是热流密度高、传热性能好。良好的组件流量分配特性是充分发挥这些优点的重要保障。对于这种窄缝流道的水力特性和流量分配实验，国内外均进行不多，加之结构复杂，流速很高，因此，很有必要对它们进行实验验证。     

Study of SEU Sensitive Volume of Microelectronic Devices

It is important to determine the sensitive volume (Sv) thickness of micro-electronic devices, since the Sv thickness is a key parameter for estimating single event rates in space. Most of the models for proton single event upset (SEU) predictions use the …     

Simulation of storage ring injection of HLS Ⅱ

The Hefei light source(HLS) has been upgraded into HLS II, with increased brightness and stability. In this paper, the new injection system is described. Elegant program is used to simulate the particles motion in 6D phase space. In the process of tracking simulation of electrons, the system tolerances and magnet errors are introduced. Influences to the injection efficiency from beam injection deviation are studied. These provide important reference for realizing the Top-up injection.     

Activation γ-Spectrometric Method of Determining the Mass of Samples of Nuclear Materials

The possibility of using activation -spectrometry to determine the mass content of nuclear materials in matter is investigated. Irradiation of samples for a short time with moderated neutrons from a ~10⁷ sec^–1 Pu–Be source is used to induce 1436 keV -ray emission from ¹³⁸Cs. These -rays are suitable for measurements; the mass of the nuclear materials is determined from the intensity of the radiation. Three series of experiments are performed with sets of samples consisting of uranium and uranium dioxide with different mass and degrees of enrichment.Experiments showed that the error in determining the mass of uranium samples can reach 1–3% with 30–60 min irradiation and the same measurement duration.Special experiments were performed to investigate the influence of the experimental geometry and the self-absorption of the rays in the sample, which limit the possibility of -spectrometric measurements on samples of nuclear materials.The activation -spectrometric method can be used for analyzing metallic uranium samples, powder samples, samples of fuel micropellets and uranium hexafluoride, and plutonium samples.
