Three-Body Coulomb Effects in the Direct Coulomb Breakup of 8B into 7Be + p in the Field of a 208Pb Ion
1999
The amplitude for the Coulomb breakup of a light nucleus in the field of a highly charged ion is considered in the framework of the distorted wave approach, with particular emphasis being laid on correctly taking into account the three-body Coulomb interactions in the final state. Numerical calculations have been performed for the double differential cross section for the reaction 208Pb(8B, 7Be p)208Pb. They clearly demonstrate the importance of long-range three-body Coulomb correlations in the astrophysically interesting regime when the ejectiles have the extremely small relative energies.
Dispersive approach to the nuclear compton amplitude and exchange effects
1981
We discuss the limitation of the standard approach to exchange current effects from photonuclear sum rules. We propose to look for an energy-independent contribution to the real part of the forward Compton-scattering amplitude below pion threshold. Experimental data on photonuclear cross-sections are used to calculate the real part of the amplitude, by means of an once-subtracted dispersion relation. The analysis is made for2H,7Li and9Be at energies varying between 50 and 150 MeV. A remarkably stable value ofK=0.60 is extracted for deuterium. For 1p shell nuclei, the main uncertainty is due to the lack of data above 300 MeV.
New model and code for calculation of product yields in fusion-fission reactions
2003
A new version of the theoretical model and computing code for calculations of the pre- and post-scission light particle spectra and multiplicity distributions, the evaporation residue cross sections, and the fission product yield cross sections has been developed. The most important dynamical effects (nuclear friction and light particle emission at the descent from saddle to scission point) in the decay of heated rotating compound nuclei were included in consideration [1]. The fission characteristics have been calculated for every compound nucleus at excitation energy and angular momentum at the scission point. The contributions from different fission modes including the superasymmetric one…
Experiments on Fission Dynamics with Relativistic Heavy-ion Beams
2002
[Abstract] At GSI, Darmstadt, an experimental program on fission with relativistic heavy-ion beams is in progress. A large range of excitation energies, combined with low angular momentum and small shape distortion is accessible. Full nuclide identification of the reaction residues is achieved by applying inverse kinematics. The nuclide production and the kinematics of fission fragments from a variety of primordial and radioactive projectiles reveal new insight into the influence of shell effects and dissipation on the fission process. The present contribution gives an overview on the experimental methods, the experimental results and the prospects for future progress.
Observation of a Charged(DD¯*)±Mass Peak ine+e−→πDD¯*ats=4.26 GeV
2014
We report on a study of the process e(+)e(-) -> pi(+/-) (D (D) over bar*)(-/+) at root s = 4.26 GeV using a 525 pb(-1) data sample collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. A distinct charged structure is observed in the (D (D) over bar*)(-/+) invariant mass distribution. When fitted to a mass- dependent- width Breit- Wigner line shape, the pole mass and width are determined to be M-pole (3883: 9 +/- 1.5 (stat) +/- 4.2 dsyst__ MeV= c(2) and Gamma(pole) = (24: 8 +/- 3.3 (stat) +/- 11: 0 (syst)) MeV. The mass and width of the structure, which we refer to as Z(c)(3885), are 2 sigma and 1 sigma, respectively, below those of the Z(c)(3900) -> pi(+/-) J/psi peak observed by B…
Recent Results from In-Beam Studies of Very Neutron-Deficient Nuclei
2000
Nuclear structure of very neutron deficient Z ≈82 nuclei and very heavy nuclei has been studied by employing in-beam γ-ray spectroscopic methods involving recoil-gating and recoil-decay tagging (RDT) methods.
A test of charge-parity-time invariance at the atto-electronvolt scale
2017
We developed a novel fast measurement procedure for cyclotron frequency comparisons of two individual particles in a Penning trap, which enabled us to compare the charge-to-mass ratio of the proton and the antiproton with a fractional precision of 69 parts per trillion. To date this is the most precise test of charge-parity-time invariance using baryons. Our measurements were performed at cyclotron frequencies of about 30 MHz, which means that charge-parity-time symmetry holds at the atto-electronvolt scale.
Baryon resonances in nuclei
2005
The field of baryon resonances in nuclei is reviewed. Theoretical developments and experimental evidence as well are discussed. Special emphasis is laid on electromagnetic processes for the two nucleon system. Some aspects of real isobars in nuclei are touched upon.
Beta-delayed neutron spectra for application in reactor technology, nuclear physics and astrophysics
1986
Abstract Recent developments in s-delayed neutron (DN) spectroscopy are reviewed, and the importance of DN energy spectra for various problems in reactor physics, nuclear physics and astrophysics is discussed.
Design, construction and performance of the energy compressing system of the Mainz 300 MeV electron linac
1973
Abstract For the sake of better energy resolution of the 300 MeV electron linac of Mainz university a system has been built which transforms a sharply bunched beam of poor energy resolution into a beam of sharply defined energy, while its bunches are smeared out. The system is described, its design philosophy and some essential construction details are given. The operating experience of the last 6 months since completion of the system is communicated.
