Low-energy primary knock on atom damage distributions near MeV proton beams focused to nanometre dimensions
2007
Abstract In this preliminary study, the spatial extent of the defects introduced in Si by a normally incident 1 MeV H + nanobeam was investigated using a hybrid approach. First, the standard SRIM code was employed to calculate the angular and energy distributions of Primary Knock-on Atoms (PKA) using the Binary Collision Approximation (BCA). The long mean free path and the kinematics of scattering in a screened Coulomb potential resulted in an anisotropic PKA distribution that was mainly directed perpendicular to the primary ion trajectories. The PKA energy E dependence was close to 1/ E n with 1.5 n The results revealed that the low energy PKA’s resulted in localised damaged regions with …
The kinetics of defect aggregation: A novel lattice formalism
1995
We introduce a stochastic model for the A + B → O reaction on a discrete lattice. The system may include mono- and bimolecular steps (i. e. reaction and diffusion steps). The resulting infinite chain of equations is truncated at a certain level via a modified Kirkwood approximation.
Spectroscopic factor and proton formation probability for the d3/2 proton emitter 151Lu
2017
The quenching of the experimental spectroscopic factor for proton emission from the short-lived $d_{3/2}$ isomeric state in $^{151m}$Lu was a long-standing problem. In the present work, proton emission from this isomer has been reinvestigated in an experiment at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyv\"{a}skyl\"{a}. The proton-decay energy and half-life of this isomer were measured to be 1295(5) keV and 15.4(8) $\mu$s, respectively, in agreement with another recent study. These new experimental data can resolve the discrepancy in the spectroscopic factor calculated using the spherical WKB approximation. Using the R-matrix approach it is found that the proton formation probabilit…
Measurement of the b hadron lifetime with the dipole method
1993
A measurement of the average lifetime of b hadrons has been performed with the dipole method on a sample of 260000 hadronic Z decays recorded with the ALEPH detector during 1991. The dipole is the distance between the vertices built in the opposite hemispheres. The mean dipole is extracted from all the events without attempting b enrichment. Comparing the average of the data dipole distribution with a Monte Carlo calibration curve obtained with different b lifetimes, an average b hadron lifetime of 1.51 +/- 0.08 ps is extracted.

Nuclear response functions in homogeneous matter with finite range effective interactions
2005
The question of nuclear response functions in a homogeneous medium is examined. A general method for calculating response functions in the random phase approximation (RPA) with exchange is presented. The method is applicable for finite-range nuclear interactions. Examples are shown in the case of symmetric nuclear matter described by a Gogny interaction. It is found that the convergence of the results with respect to the multipole truncation is quite fast. Various approximation schemes such as the Landau approximation, or the Landau approximation for the exchange terms only, are discussed in comparison with the exact results.
Study ofe+e−→pp¯π0in the vicinity of theψ(3770)
2014
The process e(+)e(-) -> p (p) over bar pi(0) has been studied by analyzing data collected at root s = 3.773 GeV, root s = 3.650 GeV, and during a psi(3770) line shape scan with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. The Born cross section of p (p) over bar pi(0) in the vicinity of the psi(3770) is measured, and the Born cross section of psi(3770) -> p (p) over bar pi(0) is extracted considering interference between resonant and continuum production amplitudes. Two solutions with the same probability and a significance of 1.5 sigma are found. The solutions for the Born cross section of psi(3770) -> p (p) over bar pi(0) are 33.8 +/- 1.8 +/- 2.1 pb and 0.06(-0.04-0.01)(+0.10+0.01) pb ( ->…
Study ofe+e−→ωχcJat Center of Mass Energies from 4.21 to 4.42 GeV
2015
Based on data samples collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider at nine center of mass energies from 4.21 to 4.42 GeV, we search for the production of e(+)e(-) -> omega chi(cJ) (J = 0, 1, 2). The process e(+)e(-) -> omega chi(c0) is observed for the first time, and the Born cross sections at root s = 4.23 and 4.26 GeV are measured to be (55.4 +/- 6.0 +/- 5.9) and (23.7 +/- 5.3 +/- 3.5) pb, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. The omega chi(c0) signals at the other seven energies and the e(+)e(-) -> omega chi(c1) and omega chi(c2) signals are not significant, and the upper limits on the cross sections are determined. By ex…

Investigation of the ββ decay of 116Cd into excited states of 116Sn
1994
Abstract The double-beta decay of 116Cd into excited states of 116Sn is experimentally and theoretically investigated. From an inclusive experiment, using an external source of isotopically enriched Cd, new most stringent limits for the allowed and non-standard-model decays into excited states are derived. It is further investigated whether the bremsstrahlung emitted by the ββ electrons can be used to derive information on the ground-state decay. For the two-neutrino-decay mode a calculation, using the quasiparticle random-phase approximation, shows that the disadvantage in phase space, in comparison to the ground-state decay, is partially compensated through the nuclear-matrix element. Exp…
Exchange currents in electric transitions and the r�le of siegert's theorem: A case study in deuteron photodisintegration
1981
The size of exchange corrections to electric transitions is investigated for deuteron photodisintegration. Large contributions are found in El transitions, which become dominant above 40 MeV. Most of them are already included by using Siegert's theorem together with classical one-body operators. Higher multipoles are only little affected except for rather high energies. The Born approximation for the final states gives in general a poor description.
