超强激光与“霍金-安鲁辐射”实验研究进展综述

对利用激光进行霍金-安鲁辐射实验的研究现状和实验挑战点等方面进行综述。霍金-安鲁辐射是量子引力理论的重要推论之一。对其进行实验观测研究,将对量子引力理论、大统一理论、乃至万物终极理论的发展具有重要推动作用。霍金-安鲁辐射可以通过强激光、储存环、潘宁阱、声学、玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚等各种实验手段加以研究,其中借助强激光有两类方法:人工光学黑洞和强激光加速。前者是利用介质的非线性效应,产生一个光波传播的视界,进而对视界附近的量子现象,包括霍金-安鲁辐射,进行研究;后者是利用超强激光场对电子施加的超高加速度来研究电子的霍金-安鲁辐射等特性。

Density effect of the neutron halo nucleus induced reactions in intermediate energy heavy ion collisions

Using an isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model, we study the ¹⁵C induced reactions from 30—120 MeV/nucleon systematically. Here the valence neutron of ¹⁵C is assigned at both 1d 5/2 and 2s 1/2 states respectively in order to study the density effect of reaction mechanism. It is believed that the existent neutron halo structure at the 2s 1/2 state of ¹⁵C will affect the light particle emission evidently. In our calculation, the different density distributions of ¹⁵C at two states are calculated by relativistic mean field (RMF) model and introduced in the initiation of IQMD model, respectively. It is found that some observables such as emission fragmentation multiplicity, emission neutron/proton ratio and emission neutrons' kinetic energy spectrum are sensitive to the initial density distribution.     

Temperature dependent fission fragment distribution in the Langevin equation

The temperature dependent width of the fission fragment distributions was simulated in the Langevin equation by taking two-parameter exponential form of the fission fragment mass variance at scission point for each fission event. The result can reproduce experimental data well, and it permits to make reliable estimate for unmeasured product yields near symmetry fission.     

Determination of the stellar reaction rate for 12C（α,γ）16O： using a new expression with the reaction mechanism

The astrophysical reaction rate of 12C(α, γ)16O plays a key role in massive star evolution. However, this reaction rate and its uncertainties have not been well determined yet, especially at T9=0.2. The existing results even disagree with each other to a certain extent. In this paper, the E1, E2 and total (E1+E2) 12C(α, γ)16O reaction rates are calculated in the temperature range from T9=0.3 to 2 according to all the available cross section data. A new analytic expression of the 12 C(α, γ)16 O reaction rate is brought forward based on the reaction mechanism. In this expression, each part embodies the underlying physics of the reaction. Unlike previous works, some physical parameters are chosen from experimental results directly, instead of all the parameters obtained from fitting. These parameters in the new expression, with their 3σ fit errors, are obtained from fit to our calculated reaction rate from T9=0.3 to 2. Using the fit results, the analytic expression of 12C(α, γ)16O reaction rate is extrapolated down to T9=0.05 based on the underlying physics. The 12C(α, γ)16 O reaction rate at T9=0.2 is (8.78 ± 1.52) × 1015 cm3s-1mol-1. Some comparisons and discussions about our new 12 C(α, γ)16 O reaction rate are presented, and the contributions of the reaction rate correspond to the different part of reaction mechanism are given. The agreements of the reaction rate below T9=2 between our results and previous works indicate that our results are reliable, and they could be included in the astrophysical reaction rate network. Furthermore, we believe our method to investigate the 12C(α, γ)16O reaction rate is reasonable, and this method can also be employed to study the reaction rate of other astrophysical reactions. Finally, a new constraint of the supernovae production factor of some isotopes are illustrated according to our 12C(α, γ)16O reaction rates.     

Density effect of the neutron halo nucleus induced reactions in intermediate energy heavy ion collisions

Using an isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model, we study the 15C induced reactions from 30-120 MeV/nucleon systematically. Here the valence neutron of 15C is assigned at both 1d5/2 and 2s1/2 states respectively in order to study the density effect of reaction mechanism. It is believed that the existent neutron halo structure at the 2s1/2 state of 15C will affect the light particle emission evidently. In our calculation, the different density distributions of 15C at two states are calculated by relativistic mean field (RMF) model and introduced in the initiation of IQMD model, respectively. It is found that some observables such as emission fragmentation multiplicity, emission neutron/proton ratio and emission neutrons’ kinetic energy spectrum are sensitive to the initial density distribution.
