Abstract:
The experimental research on multi-phonon γ-vibrational bands in odd-A nuclei by our international collaboration has been reviewed. The two phonon -vibrational bands in 103Nb, 105Mo, 107Tc and 109Tc in the A = 100 neutron-rich nuclear region were identified, which are the only four such bands discovered in nuclear structure studies until now. The experimental methods and results are summarized, and the characteristics for these band structures are discussed. The other aspects for our research on the multi-phonon vibrational bands as well as our future research work are also briefly reviewed.

Abstract:
We have measured the fragmentation cross sections and the emission angles for 471 AMeV 56Fe and 400AMeV 20Ne on Al, C and CH2 targets using CR-39 plastic nuclear track detector. The total charge changing cross sections agree well with other previous experimental results at different energies and the theoretical prediction of Bradt-Peters semiempirical formula, which are pproximately independent of the beam energy but increase with the increase of the target mass. The experimental results are compared with the prediction of the improved quantum molecular dynamical model (ImQMD) together with the GEMINI model. The odd-even effect of the partial cross sections observed in experiments is well produced. It is found that such effect is mainly formed in the grazing collisions and comes from the fragments with TZ = 0; ±0:5. The shape of the isotopic distribution is independent on the target mass and the incident energy but the projectile mass and charge, and the small angular distribution of all fragments comes from the heavier projectile-like fragments which produced in the peripheral collision.

Abstract:
Angular distributions of 7Li+11B elastic scattering were measured at Elab(7Li)=9.85, 13.3, 18.3, 23.3 and 28.3 MeV within the angular range of θc:m: ≈ 15◦ s 80◦. The analyse of these angular distributions together with the data taken from literatures at Elab(7Li) = 34 MeV have been performed to extract the parameters of optical model potential. With the fixed geometrical shapes, the potential strengths show a concise relation to the reaction energy: the depths of real potential decrease linearly with energy increasing, whereas the depths of imaginary part just slightly vary around the average value of 10.35 MeV.

Abstract:
In recent years, extensive studies have been made to understand the fragment emission mechanisms in low energy light heavy-ion reactions. These fragments are found to be emitted from quasielastic/projectile breakup, deep-inelastic and fusion-fission processes. Fragments of Z = 2 ∼13 induced by the collision of 19F+27Al have been measured by ΔE-E telescope. The analysis of the energy spectra, angular distributions, excitation functions and energy auto-correlation functions of these fragments shows that the emission of fragments is coming from a rotational dinuclear system formed in the dissipative collision of the projectile and target nuclei.

Abstract:
We investigate the static vortex solutions of a bilayer quantum Hall state at the Landau-level filling factor υ = 1=2. This work is based on the ZHK model, which is an effective field theory including Chern-Simons gauge interactions. We deduce the dimensionless nonlinear equations of motion for vortices possessing cylindrically symmetry, and analyze the asymptotical behaviors of solutions. Additionally, we analyze the values of critical coupling constants under the self-dual condition, and obtain the self-dual equations. Finally, vortices of type (0,1)，(0, -1)，(1,-1) and (-1,-1) are solved with numerical methods. We reach the conclusion that vortex of type (11,-1) is unstable, which will decay to (1,0) and (0,-1). The vortices of type (0,-1) and (-1,-1) are self-dual solutions from numerical results.

Abstract:
Since the beam transmission of a Radio Frequency Quadrupole(RFQ) Accelerator is very sensitive to the field profile, the ordinary frequency tuning method by the local movable tuner is no more adopted in an RFQ operation. The tuning method by controlling cooling water temperature is widely adopted to tune the RFQ due to the less affect on the RFQ field profile. A Resonance Control Cooling System (RCCS) is developed and commissioned for the 973 RFQ，which is a R&D project for C-ADS and CSNS RFQ at IHEP. This system adopts the RF phase difference as control variable to tune the RFQ. The control accuracy of the RF phase difference is about 1°. The running of the 973 RFQ shows that the RCCS works very well and fully satisfies the operation requirement of the RFQ. In this paper, the water skid, resonance control system of the RCCS and the operation experiences will be presented.

Abstract:
Based on the simulation on 4-rods RFQ by the CST MWS software, we analyzed the relationship between the RFQ’s structure parameter σ/R and the maximum electrode field Emax, and found that as the aperture R varies，the value of σ/R corresponding to the minimum Emax does not necessarily keep constant. We also found that the RFQ interelectrode field linearity maintains over 99.5% as σ/R veries, although it slightly increases as σ/R increases.

Abstract:
A D-D neutron source model was developed according to the neutron spectrum and the neutron angular distribution of D-D reaction. A standard calibration well model was built. The transports of the D-D neutrons and γ-rays in the well were simulated using MCNP code. The mixed γ-spectra and inelastic γ-spectra in the NaI detector were obtained for both different distances from a neutron source and different densities. Mixed γ count in the energy range of 2.5 to 5.0 MeV as a function of distance shows that the NaI detector should be located at a distance of 3080 cm from the neutron source. The nonlinear relationships between the density and the mixed γ count were presented in this paper.
It was demonstrated that the energy spectrum of mixed γ rays can realize the n-γ density logging.

Abstract:
In order to accurately measure the neutron capture cross section in the energy range of keVMeV, 4 πgamma-ray total absorption facility (GTAF) is being constructed at China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE). The lithium glass detector will be used as a neutron beam monitor for GTAF. The detection efficiency of the lithium glass detector at two incident neutron energy points (250, 565 keV) was calibrated in 5SDH-2 accelerator, and the relative detection
efficiency was simulated by GEANT4 and MCNP code. By the normalization of the experimental data and simulation result, the neutron detection efficiency curve of the lithium glass detector between 10 keV and 1 MeV was obtained. This work will be important to convert the Time-of-flight spectrum that be measured by Li-glass detector to the energy spectrum of neutron beam, and provide the new method for calibration of detection efficiency.

Abstract:
This article reviews the advantages of heavy ion in physical, biological and clinical aspects, discusses the radio-biological basis of experiment research, and summarizes clinical results of heavy ion beam treatment on tumor at home and abroad. Japan has accepted and treated about 6000 cancer patients of different types with high local control rates and survival ones. Germany has achieved great success in head and neck tumor clinical treatment. Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMP-CAS), Tumor Hospital of Gansu Province and Lanzhou General Hospital of PLA have begun clinical trial on heavy ion treatment of deep-seated tumors after the shallow-seated tumor therapy has been done at HIRFL (Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou). The treatment results of Tumor Hospital of
Gansu Province show that the objective response rate (CR+PR) is 71.4% and the rate of 1-2 levels radiation injury to skin reactions (erythema and desquamation) is 61.9% when we evaluate the 43 patients by means of maging. The results of case follow-up after treatment in 1 month indicate that the deep-seated tumor therapy with heavy ion beam has high local control rates without severe adverse effect.

Abstract:
Active beam scanning results in serious distortion of ion-beam irradiation field in the presence of target motion and causes damage to healthy tissues round tumor target compared to passive beam shaping techniques. Therefore,it is necessary to establish suitable conformal irradiation methods for moving targets caused by the factor such as respiration in active ion beam scanning system. In this paper, motion detection, 4D-CT and three main ion beam specific mitigation techniques, namely rescanning, gating and beam tracking, are introduced. In addition, three motion mitigation techniques are compared comprehensively in terms of target conformation, robustness and mplementation complexity,respectively. For target conformation, the beam tracking is superior to gating, and gating is better than beam rescanning;the robustness decreases in the order rescanning-gating-beam tracking; for implementation complexity, beam rescanning is the most simple technology, followed by gating, while beam tracking is the most complex technique.

Abstract:
Heavy ion beam has many characteristics，and it is expected to be the most suitable radiation therapy technique for malignant tumor. It is lack of depth-understanding on the potential adverse reactions caused by using this technique, because heavy ion radiotherapy is applied to clinical for a short time. Studies have shown that the vascular injury plays a pivotal role in normal tissue damage induced in the conventional radiation therapy, but there was no research report on heavy ion beam irradiation-induced vascular injury. In the present study, the isolated aortic rings of rats were irradiated by 12C6+ ion beam (300 MeV/u, 0.5 Gy/min) delivered by HIRFL(Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou), the effects of 12C6+ ion beam irradiation on aortic rings with endothelium dependent diastolic function have been investigated.NBT reduction method was used for assaying the vascular ring formation of superoxide anion (O2􀀀) level, and the involvement of superoxide anion in endothelial function injury in rats was investigated through the intervention test of exogenous superoxide dismutase (SOD) on O2. The results showed that, the vascular endothelial dependent vasodilation was impaired significantly (P < 0:01 vs control group) by irradiation with 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 Gy 12C6+ ion beam in a dosedependent manner, and the NBT reduction of vascular rings increased dose-dependently (P <0.05 at 4.0 Gy, P <0.01 at 6.0 Gy vs control group). Adding exogenous SOD before irradiation could significantly inhibit the increasing of NBT reduction (P<0.01), and also had protective effect on vascular endothelium dependent diastolic function (P<0.01), but 10 min after irradiation with exogenous SOD, its protective function was significantly less than before. Conclusion indicated that 12C6+ ion beam irradiation could cause endothelial function impaired, O2􀀀 scavenger SOD has a protective effect on endothelial dysfunction, suggesting that O2􀀀 mediates endothelial injury induced by heavy ion irradiation.

Abstract:
Promyelocytic leukemia (PML) plays an important role in natural immune, angiogenesis, and transcriptional regulation. It also participates in apoptosis and other radiobiological effects. We confirm that the PML expression in G1 and S phase cells is relatively higher than that in M and G2 phase cells. We also demonstrate that the expression of PML protein is up-regulated in both dose- and time-dependent manner after cells are exposed to ionizing radiation. The size and amount of PML-nuclear bodies (PML-NBs) increase in a dose-dependent manner whereas the fluorescence intensity of PML-NBs decreases. Taken together, PML is sensitive to ionizing radiation and its functional studies are facilitated to reveal the mechanisms underlying radiobiological effects.

Abstract:
pH value, mycelium concentration, carbon source and nitrogen metabolism in flask fermentation of the mutant high-producing strain ZJAV-Y1-203 and the original strain ZJAV-A1 have been investigated, in order to show the metabolic effect of avermitilis irradiated by ion beam of 12C6. In early stage (48 h) of the fermentation, pH value of the original fermentation was lower than that of the mutant strains. In 96~196 h of fermentation, the nitrogen utilization in the strains ZJAV-Y1-203 was higher than that in the original strains, its reproductive was fast, and its growing was vigorous. The mycelium concentration of ZJAV-Y1-203 was greater than the original strain, and the pH value of fermentation were stable, so its metabolism was relatively more stable. In 144240 h of fermentation, the strain ZJAV-Y1-203 on sugar consumption was less than the original strains. The effect of 12C6 ion irradiation on metabolism of Streptomyces avermitilis is conducive to the synthesis of avermectin.

Abstract:
A mutant bread yeast strain with high protein content of 55% was gained by use of 12C6+ ions. The MINITAB 16.0 software, Plackett-Burman experimental design and response surface methodology were applied to optimize the culture medium for the irradiated yeast. The most important three factors which influenced the culture results were identified as glucose, magnesium sulphate and yeast extract. The path of the steepest ascent was undertaken to approach the optimal region of the three significant factors. Box-Behnken design and response surface methodology were used for the regression analysis. Finally, the optimal fermentation conditions were identified as glucose 11.03 g/L, yeast extract 6.53 g/L and magnesium sulphate 5.59 g/L by the regression analysis. It was found that the biomass of the bread yeasts reached 4.84 g/L and increased by 15% compared to original conditions.

Abstract:
Tungsten has been selected as divertor materials in fusion reactors because of its high thermal conductivity,high melting point, low expansion coefficient and high threshold energy for sputtering etc. The paper presents the hardening behaviour of high pure tungsten by 100 keV He+ with different fluences from 5x1016 ions/cm2 to 1x1018ions/cm2 at room temperature, and with fluence of 1x1018 ions/cm2 at higher temperatures (400, 600 and 800 °C). The microscopic mechanical properties of these samples were investigated by nano-indentation technology. The results show that all of the implanted samples harden obviously. The reason for hardening may be that defects of interstitial dislocation loops or dense helium bubbles etc induced by helium implantation obstacle the movement of dislocation. The peak nanohardness of the samples increased with the fluences increasing when the fluence is not more than 5x1017 ions/cm2, while the nano-hardness value of the implanted sample with the fluence of 1x1018 ions/cm2 decreases and the nano-hardness changes little in the region of 50 nm to 200 nm from surface. For all the implanted samples with 1x1018 ions/cm2 at higher temperatures, their nano-hardness values are similar, but show a trend of decrease with increasing temperature.The reason may be the decrease of the defects’ density during implantation at higher temperatures. In addition, the capability of resisting deformation for the implanted tungsten reduces with increasing fluence and increases a little at higher temperatures.
Tungsten has been selected as divertor materials in fusion reactors because of its high thermal conductivity,high melting point, low expansion coefficient and high threshold energy for sputtering etc. The paper presents the hardening behaviour of high pure tungsten by 100 keV He+ with different fluences from 5x1016 ions/cm2 to 1x1018ions/cm2 at room temperature, and with fluence of 1x1018 ions/cm2 at higher temperatures (400, 600 and 800 °C). The microscopic mechanical properties of these samples were investigated by nano-indentation technology. The results show that all of the implanted samples harden obviously. The reason for hardening may be that defects of interstitial dislocation loops or dense helium bubbles etc induced by helium implantation obstacle the movement of dislocation. The peak nanohardness of the samples increased with the fluences increasing when the fluence is not more than 5x1017 ions/cm2, while the nano-hardness value of the implanted sample with the fluence of 1x1018 ions/cm2 decreases and the nano-hardness changes little in the region of 50 nm to 200 nm from surface. For all the implanted samples with 1x1018 ions/cm2 at higher temperatures, their nano-hardness values are similar, but show a trend of decrease with increasing temperature.The reason may be the decrease of the defects’ density during implantation at higher temperatures. In addition, the capability of resisting deformation for the implanted tungsten reduces with increasing fluence and increases a little at higher temperatures.

Abstract:
Based on the fully relativistic configuration interaction method, theoretical calculations are carried out to research the dielectronic recombination (DR) processes, in which W44+ ions in the ground state 3s23p63d104s2 trap an electron to form doubly excited states (3s23p63d104s2)nln’l’(n =4~6，n′= 4~7). The comparison of the DR rate coefficients of different shells shows that DR approach is as follow: the 4s subshell excitation dominates to DR at low temperature, but 3d subshell excitation attributes to DR at high temperature. Total DR rate coefficients from n=4~18 are evaluated directly, and the results are extrapolated up to n = 100 in the temperature range from 1 to 5×104 eV, and thus get the total DR rate coefficients. Compared total DR rate coefficients to three-body recombination (TBR) rate coefficients and radiative recombination (RR) rate coefficients, it showed that the total DR rate coefficients obviously significantly greater than other two recombination rate coefficients, and thus it obviously influence ionization equilibrium and ionization state population of ITER plasma.
