Mirror and triplet displacement energies within nuclear DFT: : numerical stability
2017
Isospin-symmetry-violating class II and III contact terms are introduced into the Skyrme energy density functional to account for charge dependence of the strong nuclear interaction. The two new coupling constants are adjusted to available experimental data on triplet and mirror displacement energies, respectively. We present preliminary results of the fit, focusing on its numerical stability with respect to the basis size.
Zenith angle distributions at Super-Kamiokande and SNO and the solution of the solar neutrino problem
2000
We have performed a detailed study of the zenith angle dependence of the regeneration factor and distributions of events at SNO and SK for different solutions of the solar neutrino problem. In particular, we discuss oscillatory behaviour and the synchronization effect in the distribution for the LMA solution, the parametric peak for the LOW solution, etc.. Physical interpretation of the effects is given. We suggest a new binning of events which emphasizes distinctive features of zenith angle distributions for the different solutions. We also find the correlations between the integrated day-night asymmetry and the rates of events in different zenith angle bins. Study of these correlations st…
Evidence for quasi-fission in40Ar+208Pb collisions near the coulomb-barrier
1987
Fission-fragment angular distributions were measured in the reaction of40Ar with208Pb near the fusion barrier. For nearly symmetric mass-/charge splits we find angular distributions symmetric around θ=90 degrees, however, with unusually large anisotropies. These develop gradually into forward-backward asymmetric distributions as one moves away from mass-/charge symmetry. This indicates that non-compound fission (‘quasi-fission’) competes with true fusion-fission. The relative contribution of quasi-fission to the total fission cross section is somewhere between 51 and 85%. In the framework of the extra-push model this is equivalent to an extra-extra push energy for compound-nucleus formation…
Status of nuclear PDFs after the first LHC p–Pb run
2017
In this talk, I overview the recent progress on the global analysis of nuclear parton distribution functions (nuclear PDFs). After first introducing the contemporary fits, the analysis procedures are quickly recalled and the ambiguities in the use of experimental data outlined. Various nuclear-PDF parametrizations are compared and the main differences explained. The effects of nuclear PDFs in the LHC p-Pb hard-process observables are discussed and some future prospects sketched.
Isospin-symmetry breaking in masses of ≃ Nuclei
2018
Effects of the isospin-symmetry breaking (ISB) beyond mean-field Coulomb terms are systematically studied in nuclear masses near the N=Z line. The Coulomb exchange contributions are calculated exactly. We use extended Skyrme energy density functionals (EDFs) with proton–neutron-mixed densities, to which we add new terms breaking the isospin symmetry. Two parameters associated with the new terms are determined by fitting mirror and triplet displacement energies (MDEs and TDEs) of isospin multiplets. The new EDFs reproduce MDEs for the T=12 doublets and T=1 triplets, and TDEs for the T=1 triplets. Relative strengths of the obtained isospin-symmetry-breaking terms are not consistent with the d…
Measurement of pion and proton response and longitudinal shower profiles up to 20 nuclear interaction lengths with the ATLAS Tile calorimeter
2010
The response of pions and protons in the energy range of 20–180 GeV, produced at CERN's SPS H8 test-beam line in the ATLAS iron–scintillator Tile hadron calorimeter, has been measured. The test-beam configuration allowed the measurement of the longitudinal shower development for pions and protons up to 20 nuclear interaction lengths. It was found that pions penetrate deeper in the calorimeter than protons. However, protons induce showers that are wider laterally to the direction of the impinging particle. Including the measured total energy response, the pion-to-proton energy ratio and the resolution, all observations are consistent with a higher electromagnetic energy fraction in pion-indu…
Solution of universal nonrelativistic nuclear DFT equations in the Cartesian deformed harmonic-oscillator basis. (IX) HFODD (v3.06h) : a new version …
2021
We describe the new version (v3.06h) of the code HFODD that solves the universal nonrelativistic nuclear DFT Hartree-Fock or Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov problem by using the Cartesian deformed harmonic-oscillator basis. In the new version, we implemented the following new features: (i) zero-range three- and four-body central terms, (ii) zero-range three-body gradient terms, (iii) zero-range tensor terms, (iv) zero-range isospin-breaking terms, (v) finite-range higher-order regularized terms, (vi) finite-range separable terms, (vii) zero-range two-body pairing terms, (viii) multi-quasiparticle blocking, (ix) Pfaffian overlaps, (x) particle-number and parity symmetry restoration, (xi) axializatio…
Stopping powers of havar for 1.6, 2.3 and 3.2 MeV/u heavy ions
2000
Abstract Stopping powers of havar for 28,30 Si-, 36 Ar-, 54,56 Fe- and 80,84 Kr-ions with energies of 1.6, 2.3 and 3.2 MeV/u have been determined by a transmission technique. Sample foils are exposed to the direct beams. No previous data for havar with these ions have been published. The obtained results are brought together with literature havar data for 1 H-, 4 He-, 7 Li-, 11 B-, 12 C-, 14 N-, 16 O- and 127 I-ions at the same ion velocity. The experimental data are compared with the values predicted by the SRIM-2000 parametrization using Bragg’s rule. A systematic underestimation, by 6–23%, of the experimental stopping powers was observed. The empirical correction scheme of Thwaites has b…
Antiproton annihilation at rest in liquid deuterium into π−π0π0pS
1994
With the Crystal Barrel detector, the final state π−π0π0pS at rest in liquid deuterium was measured for the first time. A preliminary partial-wave analysis was performed, which required two interesting features: besides the ρ(770), a second pole was needed in the ππP-wave and a narrow resonance in the ππS-wave, slightly above 1500 MeV/c2. With the same parametrization a high-statistics π+π−π0 data set could also be well described.
Mean-field effects on neutrinoless double beta decay
1998
Abstract Mean-field effects on the nuclear matrix elements involved in the neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay of several double-electron and double-positron emitters have been studied within the framework of the relativistic quark-confinement model and the quasiparticle random-phase approximation. The single-particle energies of the model space have been generated both by using the standard Woods-Saxon parametrization of the mean field and adjusting the quasiparticle spectra with the data from neutron- and proton-odd nuclei. The 0νββ rates are found to be much less affected by the energies of the mean-field orbitals than the rates of the two-neutrino double beta decay. The present study …
