2010, 27(1): 1-15. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.27.01.001
Abstract:
Some topics on nucleonnucleon(NN) collisions in medium and high energy nuclear physics are reviewed with emphasis on those which are expected to be relevant at the HIRFLCSR Facility. It is mainly concerned with the description of shortrange NN nuclear force, the recent results from STAR and PHENIX experiments in relativistic collisions of nuclei from each other,addressing questions about the role of NN collisions at highenergy,especially for strangeness production and heavy flavor production. Recent progress and some unresolved issues are also concerned. We expect that the results of the present work will lead to a better understanding on the importance of NN collisions at medium and highenergy.

Abstract(2971) PDF (954KB)(728)
Abstract:
We develop a jetphoton conversion mechanism in the expanding quark gluon plasma. The jetphoton conversion in hot quarkgluon medium is a vital source of the thermal photon production. The jet converts into photons via the secondary Compton and annihilation processes in the quarkgluon plasma. The gluonphotons are also considered in the calculation of prompt photons which includes the effect of the shadowing and isospin of nucleus. We find that the prompt gluonphotons are also an important modification to prompt photons.

LI Shu-xia, ZHANG Wei-ning
2010, 27(1): 23-28. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.27.01.023
Abstract(3050) PDF (846KB)(760)
Abstract:
Nucleus-nucleus collisions are simply regarded as sum of nucleon-nucleon collisions. Particle sources produced by nucleon\|nucleon collisions are treated as classical current. For the classical current formalism ensemble of space-time function there are two terms in two identical particle Bose-Einstein correlation function when sources are partially coherent and one is called coherent term, the other is chaotic one. According to Monte Carlo simulating theory, the algorithm for calculating correlation function of partially coherent sources is derived by generalizing chaotic one. The correlation function of partially coherent sources is simulated by this method at out and side direction of relative momentum, and the out radius of sources from the fitted result is approximately equal to the side one within the error range

2010, 27(1): 29-31. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.27.01.029
Abstract(2319) PDF (808KB)(739)
Abstract:
In the study of hadronic interaction in the forward region by the simulation of cosmic ray, it is necessary to simulate large numbers of cosmic ray events with low first interaction height. We confirmed that by reducing the FIXCHI the efficiency of cosmic ray simulation can be improved. But the calibration for energy slope is needed. We got the energy slope based on the probability of direct arrived events with energy of 1 TeV, and fitted the intensity of spectrum with energy to make certain the energy slope of high energy cosmic ray. By this way, the efficiency and precision of cosmic ray simulation is greatly improved.

Abstract:
We have reanalyzed the experimental data of inbeam γ spectroscopy for 172Re via the 149Sm(27Al, 4n)172Re reaction. Three rotational bands have been newly found and assigned to 172Re.

LI Mao-qiong, ZHAO Peng-wei, SUN Bao-yuan
2010, 27(1): 38-42. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.27.01.038
Abstract(3162) PDF (841KB)(836)
Abstract:
The total binding energy of nuclei for Zr isotopic chain is calculated by the spherical and axial deformed relativistic meanfield(RMF) theory respectively, and the energy contribution due to the deformation(i.e., deformation correction energy) is extracted. It is found that the neutronrich nuclei in the isotopic chain have large prolate deformation, and corresponding deformation correction energy can be up to 10 MeV. The shell correction energy is obtained by the difference between the binding energies calculated by the liquid model and those by the RMF calculations. Detailed analysis indicates that the deformation weakens the shell effect of N=50 remarkably. Especially for the neutronrich nuclei, large deformation leads to disappearance of the N=50 shell structure.

2010, 27(1): 43-47. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.27.01.043
Abstract(2468) PDF (899KB)(718)
Abstract:
The efficient electron cooling requires that the ion beam and electron beam are parallel and overlapped. In order to measure the positions of ion beam and electron beam simultaneously, a beam position monitor system is developed for the HIRFL-CSR electron cooler device, which probe consists of four capacitive cylinder linearcut poles. One can get the both beam positions from the picking up signals of four poles by using Fourier transform(FFT) method. The measurement results show that the beam position monitor system is accurate. This system is suitable for investigating the relation between electron cooling processing and the angle of ion beam and electron beam.

Abstract(2252) PDF (835KB)(763)
Abstract:
The method which builds a buncher with nonresonant cavity through the direct production of sawtooth wave has already been applied commonly to accelerator technologies all over the world.

2010, 27(1): 52-55. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.27.01.052
Abstract(2412) PDF (860KB)(647)
Abstract:
Dynamic aperture(DA) is playing a more and more important role in circular accelerators, especially in the modern storage rings. In this paper, the DA of CSRe is analyzed by MAD program. Comparing the DA under various assumptions, we find that the multipole errors in dipoles or quadrupoles, and the sextupoles which bring strong nonlinearities, and limit the DA of CSRe. Fortunately, the DA is larger than the physical aperture in all the cases, and that is large enough to satisfy the high precision physical experimental request.

2010, 27(1): 56-62. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.27.01.056
Abstract(3041) PDF (932KB)(702)
Abstract:

A new design of lookuptable(LUT) electronics for a small animal positron emission tomography(PET) system is proposed. Position and energy signals for a coincidence event are generated in a coincidence circuit board and sent to the LUT board, in which the centroid of this event is calculated by the LUT approach. The centroid is used as an index of the crystal element. Corresponding coordinates and energy threshold of this crystal are obtained from the other tables, and the scattered events are rejected. Interfaces for receiving respiratory and electrocardiac gate signals are designed for future use. All the lookup tables are stored in NOR flash memory which is controlled by a Complex Programmable Logic Device. The LUT board communicates with PC through Ethernet board. The advantage of this specific hardware design is that the LUT operation can be performed in a more efficient way, with a <100 ns time delay. The paper also describes the operation of the flashmemory with a CPLD, and the data flow between this LUT and other modules in our PET system.

2010, 27(1): 63-67. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.27.01.063
Abstract(3367) PDF (938KB)(916)
Abstract:
The multianode position sensitive photomultiplier tube(PSPMT) has been used for the development of highresolution γ camera module. This study is aimed to investigate the simplified readout design for the multianode flat panel PSPMT. Based on the Hamamatsu H8500 PSPMT with 64 multianodes, we designed and developed two simplified readout circuits, discretized positioning circuit(DPC) and symmetric charge division circuit(SCDC). The truncated centerofgravity(TCOG) positioning method was used to optimize the readout signal processing and then further reduce the readout channels by a resistor chain. The preliminary results show that the SCDC readout with the TCOG could significantly reduce the nonlinearity of positioning and improve the effective fieldofview of the detector by about 20% as compared to the DPC readout.

LAN Hai-yang, ZHENG Huaqing, LI Gui, , #
2010, 27(1): 77-81. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.27.01.077
Abstract(2177) PDF (855KB)(811)
Abstract:
In accuracy radiotherapy, it is difficult to calculate dose accurately during wedge fields. In this paper, an improved corrected algorithm of wedges based on the lineattenuation was proposed. The lineattenuation coefficient of wedges was calculated firstly, then the actual path of radial beam in the wedge was calculated by the “linear fitting” according to the sizes of wedges section. Finally the wedge factors could be determined accurately, and the dose could be corrected. The data of the 45 degree wedge in the report of AAPM 55 were used to make the calculation and verificaton. Using this algorithm,amount of measured data were decreased, the accuracy of calculation could be assured, and the job of physician could be reduced,so this algorithm could be applied in the treatment planning system as an effective calculation method of wedges field.

Abstract(2415) PDF (881KB)(749)
Abstract:
ZnO thin films were implanted at the room temperature by 80 keV N-ions to 5.0×1014, 5.0×1015 or 5.0×1016 ions/cm2, the structural characteristics of the samples were investigated using X-ray diffraction(XRD) spectrometer and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). It was found that the un-implanted ZnO films are constituted of columnar crystals which are very compact and of preferred c-axis orientation. After N-ion implantation, the crystal lattice constant and the biaxial compressive stress increased with the increasing of the N-implantation dose. In the 5.0×1016 N-ions/cm2 implanted ZnO sample, a new XRD peak due to defects or N-dopants appeared. Moreover, defects and localized disordering in the 5.0×1015 N-ions/cm2 implanted ZnO films have been observed under high resolution TEM measurement. However, N-ion implantation could not change significantly the crystal structure of the ZnO films. Possible mechanism of the structural modification of ZnO films by N-ion implantation was briefly discussed.

Abstract(4451) PDF (860KB)(826)
Abstract:
Monocrystalline silicon(cSi), thin films of amorphous silicon(aSi) and nanocrystalline silicon(ncSi) were irradiated at room temperature(RT) by using 94 MeV Xeions at 1.0×1011, 1.0×1012 or 1.0×1013 Xeions/cm2, respectively. All samples were analyzed at RT by an UV/VIS/NIR spectrometer (Lambda 900, PE, Germany), and then the uariation of the optical bandgap with the irradiation fluence was investigated systematically. The results show that the optical bandgap of the silicon samples irradiates by Xeion changed dramatically with different crystalline structures. For the aSi thin films, the optical bandgap values decreased gradually from ~1.78 to ~1.54 eV with increasing Xeion irradiation fluence. For the ncSi thin films, the optical bandgap values increased sharply from ~1.50 (origin) to ~1.81 eV(Φ=1.0×1012ions/cm2), and then decreased to ~1.67 eV(Φ=1.0×1013 ions/cm2). However, there is no observable change of the optical bandgap of the cSi after Xeion irradiations. Possible mechanism on the modification of the silicon thin films was briefly discussed.

Abstract(3233) PDF (870KB)(724)
Abstract:
In the frame of classical physics and the dipole approximation the radiation frequency and the spectral distribution are derived for the channeling radiation of a charged particle in a superlattice quantum well. It indicated that there is a linetype factor f(ξ) suited to various cases in the spontaneous radiations spectrum. Results also show that the maximum radiation energy is proportional to γ3/2 , but the relativistic effects have double effects in the spontaneous radiation of a charged particle. The case for the sinesquared potential is discussed specifically. The harmonic number can be defined as a few variable values by the effects of the potential well depth and noise. In general there is a few spectral lines in the channeling radiation spectrum for the superlattice quantum well, and possibilities are provided for further application. Finally, a possible experimental scheme is proposed, and it is discussed that how to transform the channeling radiation in the quantum well into the cohenent radiation by the bent crystal.

Abstract:
Collective state and transfer reaction are considered in this paper. The energy spectra and double differential cross sections of neutron, proton, alpha, deuteron, triton and helium\|3 emissions are calculated for p+58Ni reaction below 200 MeV with the theoretical model code MEND. The theoretical results agree with the corresponding experimental data. This work accounts for the peaks of the energy spectra and the double differential cross sections, and reduced the values of the single particle state density parameter ccg1(v).
