Abstract:
By using the ImQMD05 code,we simulate the 40Ar+197Au,+124Sn at beam energy of 35,50 and 100 MeV/u and semi-peripheral collisions.The reaction mechanism,symmetry potential and Coulomb potential competition around the overlapped neck region and impact parameters effects are investigated for understanding the angular distribution of isospin contents of dynamical emitted light particles.Our results show that the angular anisotropy of the coalescence invariant neutron to proton yield ratios is sensitive to the stiffness of symmetry energy,especially for the dynamical emitted light particles with Ek>10 MeV.

Abstract:
Based on the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model,effects of the symmetry potential,incident beam energy and different symmetry energy strength coefficients on the entropy of reaction system are studied.The results show that the symmetry potential affects the entropy,and the effect changes with the neutron-proton ratio of the reaction system.Besides,in 40Ca+40Ca and 40Si+40Sireaction systems,the symmetry energy strength coefficient also has effect on the entropy when the symmetry energy strength coefficient c=32 MeV,the effect on the entropy is largest for the two systems.Therefore the form and size of symmetry potential could be obtained by comparison of the model calculation and the experiments on the measurement of entropy.

Abstract:
The Nilsson mean-field plus the nearest orbit pairing model for deformed nuclei is applied to investigate systematically the properties of the N=94 nuclei,employing both proton-proton and neutron-neutron pairing interactions.The binding energies,even-odd mass differences,moments of inertia are calculated and compared with the corresponding experimental data.The results show that this model can reasonably describe these properties.Further,the ground-state occupation probabilities of valence nucleon pairs with angular momentum J=0,1,...,12 for even-even 160Dy are calculated,and the results show that it is much higher for the even angular momenta than the odd angular momenta,and the S,D,G components in the ground-state wave function are dominant.

Abstract:
Recently,we have carried out a series of studies on the structures of pf shell neutron-rich nuclei around N=40 using the spherical shell model and the projected shell model respectively.As an example,these two types of shell model calculations for the neutron-rich odd-odd isotopes 58,60Mn are discussed in this paper.The results show that both the calculations reproduce the observed experimental energy levels from the lowexcitation states to the high-spin ones in 58,60Mn.Consistent results are also obtained by these two theoretical calculations when describing the negative-parity rotational band derived from the intruder neutron g9/2 orbital in both isotopes.Through comparison,we show the applicability of these two shell model methods and the adopted effective interactions in the present neutron-rich mass region.The significance of the excitations from neutron g9/2 orbital to the structures of the neutron-rich nuclei in pf shell with Z≤28 are especially emphasized in this paper.

Abstract:
The multiplicity distribution,multiplicity moment,scaled variance,entropy and reduced entropy of target evaporated fragments emitted in forward and backward hemispheres in 150 AMeV 4He-AgBr,290 AMeV 12C-AgBr,400 AMeV 12C-AgBr,400 AMeV 20Ne-AgBr and 500 AMeV 56Fe-AgBr interactions are investigated.It is found that the multiplicity distribution of target evaporated fragments emitted in both forward and backward hemispheres can be fitted by a Gaussian distribution.The multiplicity moments of target evaporated particles emitted in the forward and backward hemispheres increase with the order of the moment q,and the second-order multiplicity moment is energy independent over the entire energy range for all the interactions in the forward and backward hemisphere.The scaled variance,a direct measure of multiplicity fluctuations,is close to one for all the interactions,which indicate a weak correlation among the target evaporated fragments.The entropy of target evaporated fragments emitted in forward and backward hemispheres are the same respectively for all of the interactions,within experimental errors.

The transverse momentum spectrum of Ks0 and Λ in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is calculated based on perturbative quantum chromodynamics.It is found that the initial parton production processes are prominent and the contribution of photoproduction processes is evident at LHC energies.By taking into account the photoproduction processes,the theoretical simulations could give nice descriptions of experimental data.The numerical results indicate that the modification of photoproduction processes of Ks0 and Λ cannot be negligible in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

A CW 10 mA,5 MeV beam commissioning of CADS Injector Ⅱ is planed recently to test the high power superconduction linac techniques.To transport 50 kW beam from linac to the beam dump,a high energy beam line (HEBT) line is designed and setup.Two Triplet are used to control the beam size along HEBT and at the beam dump.One diagnostics box is used for horizontal and vertical emittance measurement.To avoid damages to the vacuum pipe,beam should be transported to the beam dump without losses.The details of the HEBT design will be described in the paper.

Wuwei Heavy ion medical machine (HIMM) is the most compact accelerator facility for heavy ion therapy in the world,which has a circumference about 56.1 m.The alignment accuracy of many components of the machine should be submillimeter level.For example,the positioning accuracy of quadrupoles should be within 0.1 mm according to design target.With the combination of laser tracker and surveying knowledge,we develop a method that adjusts and collimates elements under the elements themselves coordinates via three-dimensional control network and the transformation of multiple coordinates to improve the efficiency of installation alignment.By this way,the deviation of each direction from all elements is under 0.1 mm and the result is better than the design target,which leads to the successful commission of Wuwei HIMM.Consequently,the feasibility of this method developed is verified.

Abstract:
The isochronous Mass Spectrometry (IMS) is a powerful experimental instrument for measuring masses of short-lived nuclides.In the IMS,the nuclides of interest are produced via the projectile fragmentation reaction,then injected into the storage ring after the in-flight separation with beam line.The yields of the nuclides of interest are usually very small accompanying a huge amount of contaminant nuclides,aggravating the load of time-of-flight (TOF) detector.In the IMS nuclear mass measurement experiment conducted at the HIRFL-CSR,we developed a method of purifying the secondary beam fragments to ease the burden of the TOF detector,which is based on the differences of the ions' velocities in the beam line and realized by adjusting the injection time of secondary fragments using the Kicker system of the HIRFL-CSR.We tested and verified the method in an online experiment,and its performance is discussed in this paper.

A photo-neutron source driven by a 15 MeV electron LINAC is built for the "Strategic Priority Research Program" of the Chinese Academy of Sciences-the "thorium-based molten salt reactor" project to conduct the nuclear data measurement work,develop neutron detector and carry out reactor material irradiation studies.Since the neutron energy spectrum is continuous,the neutron energy is measured by the time of flight (TOF) method,and neutron filters are needed to confirm absorption peaks,calibrate the TOF,calculate the equivalent flight distance,and remove the experimental background which has great influence on the calculation accuracy of the total cross section.Based on the Monte Carlo simulation tool,Geant4 a simulation environment is set up,including neutron source and neutron filters,to study the energy absorption spectra and thickness of different filters and recommended data for the thickness are provided.The neutron TOF spectra are simulated and compared with experimental measurement,deciding the equivalent TOF distance to be 5.7 m.Geant4 can also simulate the background curve of multiple filters and be used to remove background and analyze errors for the experimental data.All the experiments,simulation and theoretical calculation show consistent results on filter thickness and neutron TOF parameters,indicating the accuracy of the measurement.

Abstract:
A small cosmic ray device is introduced in this paper.It has the demonstration function for popularization of science,and can be used mainly to display the μ counts in a real-time measurement,and to monitor the secondary cosmic ray flux at different angles in a very long time scale (years).We briefly show the hardware of the device and the detecting efficiency calculation by simulation.The detecting efficiency for one detector of the device is 93.1%,and the detecting efficiency is 86.6% for the coincidence measurement of two detectors.Based on the count rate by the detector and the simulated efficiency,the secondary cosmic ray flux perpendicular to the ground surface is measured,which is J=29±3 m-2sr-1 s-1.Moreover,with an application of the device,we measured the angular distribution of the secondary cosmic ray rate in Lanzhou City.The resulting angular distribution agrees well with the empirical formula as I(θ)=IH+I0 cosα θ,in which the parameter for the angle-dependence is α=2.42±0.53.

Abstract:
Fast and accurate Compton scattering signal smoothing plays an important part for γ-ray-based contraband identification.Traditional methods based on polynomial averaging or wavelet analysis are not only slow but also sensitive to noise,which makes them suffer from issues such as peak amplitude decrease and peak dislocation.A new method based on step threshold is proposed for scattering signal analysis,which can overcome aforementioned issues.Firstly,the base value for Compton scattering signal is computed via data pre-processing.Secondly,the scattering data is iteratively updated using adaptive threshold and system measurement,thus producing smoothed signal data.At last,the peak is localized from the filtered signal data and abnormality is identified.Experimental results show that our method is robust against noise compared to existing methods.The amplitude and location of the peak can be accurately perceived and identified.The method is efficient and can be deployed on portable contraband detection devices.

Abstract:
Using the Fluka Monte Carlo code,the comparison study between granular target and monolith target in neutron and proton leakages,neutron and proton fluxes,energy deposition density and residual radioactivity as well as gamma dose rates were presented.Results shows that the neutron flux and energy deposition in tungsten spheres target are more homogeneous along the axial direction than monolith target.What's more,the granular target has a more lateral neutron yield and a relatively small amount of neutrons in the backward direction.In addition,the total radioactivity is found to be comparatively lower in granular target,although for some nuclei,the value of their activities are similar for both targets.So the above features make the granular target more suitable as a ADS target.

A sphere geometry model for plutonium oxide-based alpha emitter was setup.The range of alpha particle in plutonium oxide pellet versus its energy and the spectral distribution of alpha particle emerging from the emitter surface were calculated using Monte Carlo method combined with the empirical formula of range.The internal radiation dose resulted by self-absorption effect of α-rays emitted spontaneously in plutonium oxide was investigated accordingly.The result shows that the larger particle size the plutonium oxide-based alpha emitter has,the more obvious the self-absorption effect is and the better the correction effect of the intake absorbed dose that effects on human lung has.For plutonium oxide pellet with its particle size exceeding 2 μm,the correction quantity is expected to be larger than 5%.Our work is beneficial for a precise evaluation of internal radiation dose induced by inhaled radioactive material and microdosimetry study in radionuclide tumor therapy.

Abstract:
In layer-stacking conformal heavy-ion therapy based on passive beam delivery system,it is necessary to minimize the layer numbers and reduce irradiation time for layer-stacking conformal heavy-ion therapy.Gaussian shaped mini spread-out Bragg peaks (mini-SOBP) were generated by mini ridge filters (mini-RF) for monoenergetic heavy ion beams.It is effective to minimize the layer number by using mini-SOBPs with the bigger full width at the half maximum (FWHM),but in this way the distal dose fall-off distance of a spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) will be enlarged,increasing the radiation damage to normal tissue or organ at risk behind the target volume.This issue could be solved by using mini-SOBPs based combinatorial irradiation method.In this study,Gaussian shaped mini-SOBPs with two different FWHMs were generated by two different mini-RFs for monoenergetic heavy ion beams.Based on radiobiological model calculations and dose optimizations,the mini-SOBPs based combinatorial irradiation method was confirmed to reduce the distal dose fall-off distances of SOBPs while minimizing the layer numbers for layer-stacking conformal heavy-ion therapy.

Single event effects (SEEs) have been characterized and investigated on one-time configured devices for field-programmable-gate-arrays (FPGA) of programmable-read-only-memory (PROM) in 0.13 μm Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology.The variables of their memory size,written data and technology have been taken into consideration as the key parameters affecting the SEEs sensitivity when testing and verifying the reliability/radiation tolerance on self-made PROMs by heavy ions.The results show that,16 Mbits PROM within blanked data has been studied that it has better performance to radiation tolerance as compared with the 8 Mbits PROMs.Additionally,16 Mbits PROMs have the higher reliability,if based on the viewpoint of the saturated single event upset cross-section.To the single event latchup,16 Mbits PROMs were exposed to a total fluence of 107 ions/cm2 at the linear energy transfer (LET) of 99.0 MeV·cm2/mg and no obvious fluctuation of current has been observed.Additionally,as comparing the zone of high LET value,0.13 μm CMOS transistors with deep-well technology present a better radiation hardened approach than normal technology,especially in improving the threshold of LET at the zone of low LET value.

The electron emissions from N-type Si and P-type Si induced by 1.8 MeV 129Xeq+are measured in the National Laboratory of Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou,The contribution to electron emission yield from potential energy of incident ions is studied through changing the charge state of incident ions.The results show that for the same incident ion,electron emission yield of N type Si surface is higher than that of P-type Si surface about 12.5%.For incident ions with the same kinetic energy,both electron emission yields of two targets increase linearly with incident ion energy.In addition,the electron emissions induced by 3.4 MeV 129Xeq+from N-type Si and P-type Si mentioned above are measured,which give similar results.The experimental results are analyzed and discussed using work function from two angles of the kinetic electron emission and the potential energy electron emission.

Abstract:
For the design of nuclear engineering related with medium-high energy proton induced spallation reaction,the reliable Monte Carlo simulation codes coupled with nuclear reaction models have a good theoretical guidance.In this work,the production spallation neutron double differential cross sections at 30°,60°,120°,150°emission angle for Be,Al,Fe,W,U target materials at incident proton energies between several hundred MeV and GeV are theoretically calculated by using the GEANT4 coupled INCL4 and ABLA,and the FLUKA coupled PEANUT.The calculated results were compared with the available experimental data.It is found that the GEANT4 and FLUKA calculations well reproduced the experimental measurement of Al,Fe,W,U target materials.However,calculations obviously underestimated the emission neutrons of Be target for lower than 10 MeV energy range.
