YU Li-li, REN Yan-yu, ZHANG Wei-ning
2009, 26(1): 1-7. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.26.01.001
Abstract(2610) PDF (868KB)(620)
Abstract:
Using quantum pathintegral formulae,we examined the twokaon and twopion HanburyBrownTwiss (HBT) interferometry for the particleemitting source with high baryon density. The evolution of the source is described by relativistic hydrodynamics. We use an equation of state of firstorder transition from QGP to hadronic phase and consider a volume correction for the hadronic gas. The twopion HBT results with effects of excitedparticle decay and multiple scattering were investigated and compared with those for conventional thermal freezeout (TFO) model. We found that the twokaon HBT radius was smaller than those of the twopion interferometry. The particle decay increases the HBT radius and lifetime, while the effect of multiple scattering on HBT results can be neglected.

2009, 26(1): 23-26. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.26.01.023
Abstract(2142) PDF (794KB)(688)
Abstract:
The radioactive nuclei neutron capture cross section is very important to nuclearsynthesis and nuclide abundance in sprocess, but it is difficult to be measured directly because of the target production. A new method, surrogate ratio method which is developed from surrogate method, could be used to determine the cross section of radioactive nuclei neutron capture. In this paper, the surrogate ratio method was introduced and the feasibility was discussed to deduce the desired neutron capture cross sections with surrogate ratio method.

2009, 26(1): 27-32. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.26.01.027
Abstract:
The neutron spectrum in sample place of online neutron activation analysis system was measured with multiple foil activation technique. According to the neutron fluence level of measuring request, 5 kinds of nonfission nuclear material foils were selected, of which 4 were sensitive to thermal energy region and intermediate energy region, and 1 was sensitive to fast energy region. By measuring the foil activity, the neutron spectrum that was needed to measured was unfolded with the iterative methods SANDII and MSIT. Meanwhile, the process of producing and modifying group cross section were analysed amply. The main factors which have influence on the accuracy of the solution were studied. The discussion for solution was done simply, and the uncertainty of solution was analysed by using the Monte Carlo method.

ZHOU Jun, YUAN You-jin, YANG Jian-cheng, MAO Li-jun, XIA Jia-wen
2009, 26(1): 33-36. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.26.01.033
Abstract(2404) PDF (746KB)(610)
Abstract:
Nuclear mass measurement by electron cooling mode in CSRe is discussed, mainly in three related aspects: the systematic error caused by the space charge effect in the case of linear mass calibration; the possibility of mass measurement of 190 Ir in CSRe; the estimation of the attainable precision in the case of nonlinear mass calibration. Theoretic analysis of the attainable precision shows that a precision of σ(m)/m≈10-8 can be achieved if the momentum spread of each kind of ions can be reduced to 10-6 in CSRe.

JIN Da-zhi,
2009, 26(1): 41-43. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.26.01.041
Abstract(2527) PDF (739KB)(681)
Abstract:
Traditional Xray scatheless detecting method is used widely, but it is not useful to discriminate explosive consisting of low Z atomic elements. The penetrability of neutron is much better, and it can interact on atomic nucleus to emit characteristic γ ray. So neutron scatheless detecting methods can the used to detect the low Z atomic elements. In this paper, several neutron scatheless detecting methods are introduced briefly, and the principium experiment using Pulse Fast Thermal Neutron Analysis(PETNA) to detect a kind of explosive simulacrum is carried out. The experiment results show that PFTNA based on the sealed neutron generator is feasible to detect explosive.

LIU Chun-bao, WANG Zhi-guang, #, WEI Kong-fang, ZANG Hang, YAO Cun-feng, MA Yi-zhun, SHENG Yan-bin, GOU Jie, JIN Yun-fan, A.Benyagoub, M.Toulemonde
2009, 26(1): 44-47. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.26.01.044
Abstract(2199) PDF (813KB)(658)
Abstract:
Ni/SiO2 interface were irradiated at room temperature with 308 MeV Xe ions to 1×1012, 5×1012 Xe/cm2 and 853 MeV Pb ions to 5×1011 Pb/cm2, respectively. These samples were analyzed using Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) and Xray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), from which the intermixing and phase change were investigated. The obtained results show that both Xe and Pbions could induce diffusion of Ni atoms to SiO2 substrates and result in intermixing of Ni with SiO2. Furthermore, 1.0×1012 Xe/cm2 irradiation induced the formation of NiSi2 and 5.0×1012 Xe/cm2 irradiation created Ni3Si and NiO phases. The diffusion of Ni atoms and the formation of new phase may be driven by a transient thermal spike process induced by the intense electronic energy loss along the incident ion path.

ZHANG Chong-hong, YANG Yi-tao, SONG Yin, J.S.Jang, SUN You-mei, JIN Yun-fan, LI Bin-sheng
2009, 26(1): 48-54. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.26.01.048
Abstract:
Lowactivation Ferritic/Martensitic steels are a kind of important structural materials candidate to the application in advanced nuclear energy systems. Possible degradation of properties and even failure in the condition of hightemperature and high helium production due to energetic neutron irradiation in a fusion reactor is a major concern with the application of this kind of materials. In the present work microstructural evolution in a 9Cr Ferritic/Martensitic steel (T92B) irradiated with 122 MeV  20Ne ions at temperatures between 0.3—0.5 Tm (Tm is the melting point of the material) was investigated with transmission electron microscopy. High concentration voids were observed in the specimens irradiated at high temperatures when the displacement damage dose and Ne concentration exceed a certain level. Preferential formation of voids at lathboundaries and other grainboundaries was found. The data of void swellings in 9Cr ferritic/martensitic steels irradiated in different conditions (such as with Heions, Neions, Fe/He dual beams, fast neutrons, Niions etc.) were compiled and analyzed based on a classic model of helium bubble formation, and bubble to void transition.

2009, 26(1): 59-63. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.26.01.059
Abstract(2267) PDF (766KB)(635)
Abstract:
We have studied the structure phase transition of Vanadium under high pressures by density function theory. A mechanical instability in the shear elastic constant (C44) has been found for bodycentred cubic(bcc) Vanadium at about 95 GPa, which indicates the existence of the structural transition. By calculation and analysis, we found that there was a bccrhombohedral structure transition at the 70 GPa, which is consistent with the experiment data. Our calculations also firstly gave that there was a rhombohedralbcc structure transition at about 380 GPa, which needs to be verified by the experiment.

LIU Xiao-hui, TONG Chun-han
2009, 26(1): 64-68. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.26.01.064
Abstract:
The transporting behavior of As, Cs, Sr in vitrification form has been studied using a simulating model of ascending flows.Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) was used to determine the quantity of elements transportation. The results of simulating experiment show that the elements can be transported vertically from the vitrification form by ascending flows in the form of nanoscale particles. Then these elements accumulate continuously in the adsorber above the vitrification form. In addition, when the temperature difference between the ground surface and the environment where the vitrification form disposed increases, the transportation speed of these elements will increase too.

2009, 26(1): 69-75. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.26.01.069
Abstract:
Basic algorithms of biological effective dose optimization and dose distribution on CT image for the heavy ion therapy project at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) are reported in this paper. Firstly, biological effective dose optimization is conducted in water. According to the relationship between CT number and water equivalent path length, an integral algorithm is used to calculate the average dose within a pixel and then the dose distribution in tissue is derived. Secondly, the dose determination of layerstacking conformal irradiation is described and the layerstacking method is proposed to be applied in twodimensional conformal irradiation. These methods are sufficient to the requirements of the ongoing and future heavyion clinical trials conducted at IMP.

2009, 26(1): 76-79. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.26.01.076
Abstract(2385) PDF (875KB)(702)
Abstract:
The damage of pollen nuclei of Pinus thunbergii induced directly by ion implantation were measured by the laser confocal microscopy technique and the singlecell gel electrophoresis test. The results showed that ion implantation caused the nuclei structure to be damaged, leading to the nuclei degradation. The results of statistical analysis showed that the damage grade of nuclei was very correlative with the ion dosage. The damage degree of DNA in the nuclei at the level of single cells was increased with the increase of the ion implantation dose.
