Charge resolution in the isochronous mass spectrometry and the mass of ^(51)Co

Isochronous mass spectrometry(IMS)of heavyion storage rings is a powerful tool for the mass measurements of short-lived nuclei.In IMS experiments,masses are determined through precision measurements of the revolution times of the ions stored in the ring.However,the revolution times cannot be resolved for particles with nearly the same mass-to-charge(m/q)ratios.To overcome this limitation and to extract the accurate revolution times for such pairs of ion species with very close m/q ratios,in our early work on particle identification,we analyzed the amplitudes of the timing signals from the detector based on the emission of secondary electrons.Here,the previous data analysis method is further improved by considering the signal amplitudes,detection efficiencies,and number of stored ions in the ring.A sensitive Z-dependent parameter is introduced in the data analysis,leading to a better resolution of ^(34)Ar^(18+) and ^(51)Co^(27+) with A/Z=17/9.The mean revolution times of ^(34)Ar^(18+) and ^(51)Co^(27+) are deduced,although their time difference is merely 1.8 ps.The uncorrected,overlapped peak of these ions has a full width at half maximum of 7.7 ps.The mass excess of ^(51)Co was determined to be-27;332e41T keV,which is in agreement with the previous value of-27;342e48T keV.

The Cyclicity of the Period Annulus Around the Quadratic Isochronous Center

2-6 First Isochronous Mass Measurements with Two Time-of-Flight Detectors at CSRe

In conventional isochronous mass spectrometry (IMS), single time-of-flight (TOF) method is adopted to measurethe ions' revolution times in a storage ring which can then be used to calculate the ions' masses. However, themass-to-charge ratio (m=q) is only related to the revolution time (T) under the condition that is equal to taccording to the following equation:

2-7 Charge and Frequency Resolved Isochronous Mass Spectrometry in Storage Rings: First Direct Mass Measurement of the Short-lived Neutron-de cient 51Co Nuclide

Isochronous mass spectrometry in storage rings is a successful technique for the precision mass measurements ofthe nuclides with half-lives down to tens of microseconds[1]. Since the isochronous condition =t greatly reducesthe influence of the velocity difference on the ion revolution periods, the revolution period difference ΔT =T ??TRof a stored ion with respect to a reference time TR is directly related to its mass-to-charge ratio difference Δ(m=q),written in the first order as:

2-4 Principle of Isochronous Mass Spectrometry Using Two Time-of-flight Detectors

Isochronous mass spectrometry (IMS) in storage rings is a powerful tool for mass measurements of exotic nucle with very short half-lives down to several tens of microseconds, using a multicomponent secondary beam separated in-ight without cooling. However, the inevitable momentum spread of secondary ions limits the precision of nuclear masses determined by using IMS.

2-8 SimCSR Program for the Simulation of the Isochronous Mass Spectrometry at the HIRFL-CSR

Until now, several isochronous mass spectrometry (IMS) experiments have been successfully performed usingvarious primary beams at the HIRFL-CSR and masses of both proton-rich and proton-deficient exotic nuclei havebeen measured. In order to improve the performance of the IMS experiments and to provide a reliable tool fordesigning and preparing the future experiments, a simulation code, named SimCSR is developed.Presently, six-dimension phase-space linear transmission theory is applied to simulate the transmission of ionsin the experimental storage ring (CSRe). The basic algorithm is Bf = MBi. The Bi and Bf are six-dimensionphase-space vectors of ions at the entrance and exit of each element of the CSRe lattice, respectively. M is a6-by-6-dimension first-order transfer matrix of each element. M is calculated using formulas described in Ref.[1]. Inthe simulations, the ring lattice is considered in detail, and the same magnetic setting as in our previous experimentwith 58Ni projectile fragments[2] is considered. The ions are assumed to circulate 300 turns inside the CSRe.

2-4 First Isochronous Mass Measurement in Neutron-rich Region at CSRe

Mass is one of the fundamental properties of atomic nuclei. Isochronous mass spectrometry (IMS), using astorage ring combined with an in-flight separator, has been shown to be a powerful tool for mass measurementof exotic nuclei[1]. Recently, masses of many proton-rich nuclides were accurately determined at the HIRFL-CSRfacility[2]. In this paper, we described the first isochronous mass measurement of neutron-rich nuclides at CSRe.This experiment was performed at the end of 2011. In the experiment, the primary beam of 86Kr28+ ions wasaccumulated and accelerated to an energy of 460.65 MeV/u in the synchrotron CSRm. The 86Kr28+ ions were fastextracted and focused on a 15 mm thick beryllium target which was placed at the entrance of the RIBLL2 (anin-flight fragment separator).

A data analysis method for isochronous mass spectrometry using two time-of-flight detectors at CSRe

The concept of isochronous mass spectrometry （IMS） applying two time-of-flight （TOF） detectors originated many years ago at GSI. However, the corresponding method for data analysis has never been discussed in detail. Recently, two TOF detectors have been installed at CSRe and the new working mode of the ring is under test. In this paper, a data analysis method for this mode is introduced and tested with a series of simulations. The results show that the new IMS method can significantly improve mass resolving power via the additional velocity information of stored ions. This improvement is especially important for nuclides with Lorentz factor γ-value far away from the transition point yt of the storage ring CSRe.

Technical Improvements in the Experiment of Isochronous Mass Measurement of ^(58)Ni Projectile Fragments

The combination of in-flight fragment separator and the isochronous mass spectrometry(IMS)in storage rings have been proven to be a powerful tool for the precision mass measurements of shortlived exotic nuclei. In IMS, the mass-over-charge ratio is only related to the revolution period of stored ions, and the relative mass resolution can reach up to the order of 10-6. However, the instability of the magnetic field of storage ring deteriorates the resolution of revolution period, making it very difficult to distinguish the ions with very close mass-over-charge ratio via their revolution periods. To improve the resolution of revolution periods, a new method of weighted shift correction(WSC) has been developed to accurately correct the influence of the magnetic field instabilities in the isochronous mass measurements of ^(58)Ni projectile fragments. By using the new method, the influence of unstable magnetic fields can be greatly reduced, and the mass resolution can be improved by a factor up to 1.7. Moreover, for the ions that still cannot be distinguished after correcting the magnetic field instabilities, we developed a new method of pulse height analysis for particle identification. By analyzing the mean pulse amplitude of each ion from the timing detector, the stored ions with close mass-over-charge ratios but different charge states such as ^(34)Ar and ^(51)Co can be identified, and thus the mass of ^(51)Co can be determined. The charge-resolved IMS may be helpful in the future experiments of isochronous mass measurement even for N = Z nuclei.

Center, Limit Cycles and Isochronous Center of a Z_4-equivariant Quintic System

In this paper, we study the limit cycles bifurcations of four fine focuses in Z4-equivariant vector fields and the problems that its four singular points can be centers and isochronous centers at the same time. By computing the Liapunov constants and periodic constants carefully, we show that for a certain Z4-equivariant quintic systems, there are four fine focuses of five order and five limit cycles can bifurcate from each, we also find conditions of center and isochronous center for this system. The process of proof is algebraic and symbolic by using common computer algebra soft such as Mathematica, the expressions after being simplified in this paper are simple relatively. Moreover, what is worth mentioning is that the result of 20 small limit cycles bifurcating from several fine focuses is good for Z4-equivariant quintic system and the results where multiple singular points become isochronous centers at the same time are less in published references.

Center and Isochronous Center Problems for Quasi Analytic Systems

This paper considers the problems of determining center or focus and isochronous centers for the planar quasi-analytic systems. Two recursive formulas to determine the focal values and period constants are given. The convergence of first integral near the center is proved. Using the general results to quasi-quadratic systems, the problem of the isochronous center of the origin is completely solved.

Generalized Isochronous Centers for Complex Systems

In this paper, the definition of generalized isochronous center is given in order to study unitedly real isochronous center and linearizability of polynomial differential systems. An algorithm to compute generalized period constants is obtained, which is a good method to find the necessary conditions of generalized isochronous center for any rational resonance ratio. Its two linear recursive formulas are symbolic and easy to realize with computer algebraic system. The function of time-angle difference is introduced to prove the sufficient conditions. As the application, a class of real cubic Kolmogorov system is investigated and the generalized isochronous center conditions of the origin are obtained.

Shell Evolution Study for New Magic Number N=32 via Isochronous Mass Spectrometry

Recent results and progress of mass measurements of neutron-rich nuclei utilizing Isochronous Mass Spectrometry(IMS) based on the HIRFL-CSR complex at Lanzhou are reported. The nuclei of interest were produced through projectile fragmentation of primary86 Kr ions at a realistic energy of460.65 Me V/u. After in-flight separation by the fragment separator RIBLL2, the fragments were injected and stored in the experimental storage ring CSRe, and their masses were determined from measurements of their revolution times. The re-determined masses were compared and evaluated with other mass measurements, and the impact of these evaluated masses on the shell evolution study is discussed.

Isochronous Centers and Isochronous Functions

We study isochronous centers of two classes of planar systems of ordinary differential equations. For the first class which is the Lienard systems of the form x=y-F(x), y=-g(x) with a center at the origin, we prove that if g is isochronous (see Definition 1.1), then the center is isochronous if and only if F≡0. For the second class which is the Hamiltonian systems of the form i=-g(y), y=f(x) with a center at the origin, we prove that if / or g is isochronous, then the center is isochronous if and only if the other is also isochronous.

Quantification of radiation damage in natural and synthetic zircon by Raman spectroscopy:application to low-temperature thermochronology

Due to its ubiquitous occurrence in igneous,metamorphic,and sedimentary rocks and its wide application in geochronology and geochemistry,zircon has become the most widely used accessory mineral in the geological community.Nevertheless,the decay of U and Th causes radiation damage to the zircon structure,resulting in various degrees of metamictization,which can affect the accuracy of U–Pb dates and Hf and O isotope results.If the degree of zircon radiation damage can be quantified,the influence on geochemical analyses can be evaluated,and the results can be corrected more precisely.In this paper,synthetic and natural zircon crystals with different crystallization ages were selected for Raman spectroscopy analysis,cathodoluminescence imaging,and determination of the U and Th concentrations.The results show that Raman FWHM(full width at half bandmaximum)and Raman shift correlate with alpha dose(Da)ofzirconsfollowingtheseequations,FWHM=44.36(±2.32)×[1-exp(-2.74×Da)]-+1.7(±0.19),Raman Shift=-6.53×Da+1007.69.Analysis of synthetic zircon crystals shows that doped REEs(rare earth elements and P)can also lead to an increase in the FWHM.However,this effect can be ignored for natural zircon samples with REE contents at a normal level of hundreds to a few thousand ppm.The FWHM and Raman shift can be used as proxies to measure the degree of zircon radiation damage.Using the updated equations to calculate the latest age when zircon began to accumulate radiation damage,a more accurate and more meaningful“radiation damage age”can be obtained.
