Possibilities for the synthesis of superheavy element Z=121 in fusion reactions

Based on the dinuclear system model,the calculated evaporation residue cross sections matched well with the current experimental results.The synthesis of superheavy elements Z=121 was systematically studied through combinations of stable projectiles with Z=21-30 and targets with half-lives exceeding 50 d.The influence of mass asymmetry and isotopic dependence on the projectile and target nuclei was investigated in detail.The reactions^(254)Es(^(46)Ti,3n)^(297)121 and^(252)Es(^(46)Ti,3n)^(295)121 were found to be experimentally feasible for synthesizing superheavy element Z=121,with maximal evaporation residue cross sections of 6.619 and 4.123 fb at 219.9 and 223.9 MeV,respectively.

Possibility of reaching the predicted center of the“island of stability”via the radioactive beam-induced fusion reactions

Based on the dinuclear system model,the synthesis of the predicted double-magic nuclei^(298)Fl and 304120 was investigated via neutron-rich radioactive beam-induced fusion reactions.The reaction^(58)Ca+^(244)Pu is predicted to be favorable for producing^(298)Fl with a maximal ER cross section of 0.301 pb.Investigations of the entrance channel effect reveal that the^(244)Pu target is more promising for synthesizing^(298)Fl than the neutron-rich targets^(248)Cm and^(249)Bk,because of the influence of the Coulomb barrier.For the synthesis of 304120,the maximal ER cross section of 0.046 fb emerges in the reaction^(58)V+^(249)Bk,indicating the need for further advancements in both experimental facilities and reaction mechanisms.

Investigation of multinucleon transfer processes in the Langevin equation model

Multinucleon transfer in low-energy heavy-ion collisions is increasingly considered a promising approach for generating exotic nuclei.Understanding the complex mechanisms involved in multinucleon transfer processes presents significant challenges for the theoretical investigation of nuclear reactions.A Langevin equation model was developed and employed to investigate multinucleon transfer processes.The^(40)Ar+^(232)Th reaction was simulated,and the calculated Wilczyński plot was used to verify the model.Additionally,to study the dynamics of multinucleon transfer reactions,the^(136)Xe+^(238)U and^(136)Xe+^(209)Bi reactions were simulated,and the corresponding TKE-mass and angular distributions were computed to analyze the energy dissipation and scattering angles.This investigation enhances our understanding of the dynamics involved in multinucleon transfer processes.

Basilic vein variation encountered during surgery for arm vein port:A case report

BACKGROUND Venous variations are uncommon and usually hard to identify,and basilic vein variation is particularly rare.Basilic vein variation usually presents without any clinical symptoms and is often regarded as a benign alteration.This case was a patient with congenital basilic vein variation encountered during surgery for an infusion port.CASE SUMMARY We documented and analyzed an uncommon anatomical variation in the basilic vein encountered during arm port insertion.This peculiarity has hitherto remained undescribed in the literature.We offer remedial strategies for addressing this anomaly in the future and precautionary measures to circumvent its occurrence.We conducted a comprehensive review of analogous cases in the literature,offering pertinent therapeutic recommendations and solutions,with the aim of enhancing the efficacy and safety of future arm port implantations.CONCLUSION Venous variation is rare and requires detailed intraoperative and postoperative examination to ensure accuracy,so as not to affect subsequent treatment.

Bayesian analysis on non-resonant behavior of 12C+12C fusion reaction at sub-barrier energies

Controversies exist among experiments and theories on the S^(*)factor of the astrophysical important reaction ^(12)C+^(12)C for energies below 3 MeV.Only frequentist approaches have been used so far for data analysis,and the confidence levels or theoretical errors are not available from previous theoretical predictions.In this study,the Bayesian method is employed to provide theoretical predictions and its 1σconfidence level based on all the currently available experimental data for the first time.The improved coupled-channels model CCFULL-FEM implemented with the finite element method as well as the Markov chain Monte Carlo approach emcee are adopted to analyze the non-resonant behavior of this reaction.The posterior distribution of the Woods-Saxon potential parameters is investigated.Compared with the widely used frequentist method MIGRAD within the Minuit minimization program,the Bayesian method has a significant advantage for exploring the potential parameter space.When the existing experimental data measured down to subbarrier energies are considered,the potential parameters are constrained to a very narrow range,and the predictions of the S^(*) factor showed no sharp decrease in the low-energy region.

Systematic extraction of the strong absorption distance and Coulomb barrier from elastic scattering

The reduced strong absorption distance d_(S) and Coulomb barrier height V_(B) are extracted from the quarter-point recipe from a series of experimental elastic scattering angle distributions.The nuclei with different binding energies are systematically studied as the projectile,including the tightly bound,weakly bound,and halo nuclei.It is found that the mean d_(S) for halo nuclei is significantly larger than that of tightly and weakly bound nuclei.The complex behavior of d_(S) regarding the binding energy and properties of the target is observed for halo nuclei.The linear relationship of the reduced distance with system size may be used to estimate the Coulomb barrier radius R_(B),which is difficult to obtain from fusion reactions.The rule of V_(B) concerning the Coulomb parameter z is in agreement with other theoretical barrier laws extracted from the fusion reaction.Furthermore,the reason why the binding energy or deformation has little effect on the linear relationship of V_(B) as a function of z is clarified.

Node line semimetal states in tungsten-based materials

Node line semimetals(NLSMs) were characterized by one-dimensional band crossings in their bulk electronic structures.The nontrivial band topology of NLSM gives rise to "drumhead" surface electronic excitations that exhibits exotic physical properties.The symmetries of crystalline provide the needed protection of node line from being gapped out by the perturbations that preserve the symmetry.The progress of NLSM in tungsten-based materials is reviewed with an emphasis on their symmetry-based protection,characteristic electronic band structures and their response to the spin-orbit coupling(SOC)and breaking of time-reversal symmetry.The potential exploration directions of tungsten-based NLSM in the future are also discussed.
