M_(αβ) X-ray production cross sections of Pb and B iby 9–40 keV electron impact

The experimental data of Mαβ X-ray production cross sections for Pb and Bi by 9–40 keV electron impact have been given. Thin films with thick carbon substrates are used in the experiment. The effects of target structure on the Mαβ X-ray production cross sections are corrected by using the Monte Carlo method. The corrected experimental data are compared with calculated cross sections in terms of the distorted-wave Born approximation(DWBA) theory. The measured Mαβ X-ray production cross sections for Pb and Bi are lower than the DWBA calculations. The atomic relaxation parameters used in comparing the DWBA values with experimental results affect the degree of difference.

Production of p-rich nuclei with Z = 20-25 based on radioactive ion beams

Within the framework of isospin-dependent Boltzmann-Langevin model,the production cross sections of proton-rich nuclei with Z=20-25 are investigated.According to the reaction results for different isospin of projectiles^(48)Ni,^(49)Ni,and^(50)Ni,proton-rich fragments tend to be more easily produced in reactions with the protonrich projectile^(48)Ni.The production cross sections of the unknown nuclei in the vicinity of the projectile are sensitive to incident energy.It is observed that incident energy of 345 MeV/u is appropriate for producing proton-rich nuclei with Z=20-25.In projectile fragmentation reactions based on the radioactive ion beam of48Ni at 345MeV/u,several unknown proton-rich nuclei near the proton drip line are generated in the simulations.All these new nuclei are near-projectile elements near Z=28.The production cross sections of the new nuclei^(34)Ca,37,38Sc,^(38)Ti,^(40,41,42)V,^(40,41)Cr,and^(42,43,44,45)Mn are in the range of 10-2-102mb.Hence,projectile fragmentation of radioactive ion beams of Ni is a potential method for generating new proton-rich nuclei with Z=20-25.

Analytical formula for the cross section of hadron production from e^(+)e^(−) collisions around the narrow charmouinum resonances

The paper reports an analytical formula for the production cross section of e^(+)e^(−)annihilation to hadrons in the vicinity of a narrow resonance,particularly in theτ-charm region,while considering initial state radiation.Despite some approximations in its derivation,comparison between the analytical formula and direct integration of ISR shows good accuracy,indicating that the analytical formula meets current experimental requirements.Furthermore,this paper presents a comparison of the cross section between the analytical formula and calculations using the ConExc Monte Carlo generator.The efficiency of the analytical formula in significantly reducing computing time makes it a favorable choice for the regression procedure to extract the parameters of narrow charmonium resonances in experiments.

Production cross sections of the superheavy nucleus 117 based on the dinuclear system model

Within the framework of the dinuclear system model, the capture of two colliding nuclei, and the formation and de-excitation process of a compound nucleus are described by using an empirical coupled channel model, solving the master equation numerically and the statistical evaporation model, respectively. In the process of heavy-ion capture and fusion to synthesize superheavy nuclei, the barrier distribution function is introduced and averaging collision orientations are considered. Based on this model, the production cross sections of the cold fusion system ^76-82Se＋^209Bi and the hot fusion systems ^55Mn＋^238U, ^51V＋^244pu, ^59Co＋^232Th, ^48Ca＋^247-249Bk and ^45Sc＋^246-248Cm are calculated. The isotopic dependence of the largest production cross sections is analyzed briefly, and the optimal projectile-target combination and excitation energy of the 1n-4n evaporation channels are proposed. It is shown that the hot fusion systems ^48Ca＋^247-249Bk in the 3n evaporation channels and ^45Sc＋248Cm in the 2n-4n channels are optimal for synthesizing the superheavy element 117.

Isotopic production cross sections of fragmentation residues produced by ^(18)O ions on a carbon target near 260 MeV/nucleon

The isotopic cross sections of residual nuclei produced in fragmentation reactions of ^(18)O projectiles impinging on a carbon target at energies near 260 MeV/nucleon were measured at the HIRFL facility in Lanzhou(China).A full identification of atomic and mass numbers of fragments was achieved from the determination of their magnetic rigidity,energy loss,and time of flight.The production cross sections for a dozen of nitrogen,carbon,and boron isotopes were determined with uncertainties below 30% for most of the cases.The obtained cross sections for N and B isotopes show a rather good agreement with previous experimental data obtained with different projectile energies.The cross sections for some C isotopes seem to exhibit a dependence on the projectile energy.A comparison of the data and several theoretical model calculations are presented.

Kr L X-ray and Au M X-ray emission for 1.5 MeV–3.9 MeV Kr^(13+) ions impacting on an Au target

Kr L X-ray and Au M X-ray emission for Kr13＋ ions with energies of 1.5 MeV and 3.9 MeV impacting on an Au target are investigated at heavy ion research facility in Lanzhou （HIRFL）. The L-shell X-ray yield per ion of Kr is measured as a function of incident energy. In addition, Kr L X-ray production cross section is extracted from the yield and compared with the result obtained from the classical binary-encounter approximation （BEA） model. Furthermore, the intensity ratio of the Au M/33 to Ma1 X-ray is investigated as a function of incident energy.

Production cross section of neutron-rich calcium isotopes in heavy ion collisions

Based on the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model along with the GEMINI model, heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies are studied. We calculate the production cross sections of different fragments for reactions of 112Sn＋112Sn and 124Sn＋124Sn at different beam energies. The species and production cross sections of neutron-rich isotopes are generally dependent on the isospin of the system and the incident energies. The isotopes 48Ca and 54Ca are more productive for the neutron-rich system at 30 to 150 MeV/nucleon.

Production of the neutral top-pion π_t^0 in association with a high-pT jet at the LHC

In the framework of the topcolor-assisted technicolor （TC2） model, we study the production of the neutral top-pion πt^0 in association with a high-pw jet at the LHC, which proceeds via the partonic processes gg→πt^0g, gq →πt^0q, qq→πt^0g, gb（b）→πt^0b（b）, and bb→πt^0g. We find that it is very challenging to detect the neutral top-pion πt^0 via the process pp → πt^0 ＋jet ＋ X＋ tt＋jet ＋X, while the possible signatures of πt^0 might be detected via the process pp→πt^0 ＋jet ＋ X→（tc＋tc）＋jet＋X at the LHC.

Production mechanism of superheavy nuclei in massive fusion reactions

Within the concept of the dinuclear system (DNS), a dynamical model is proposed for describing the formation of superheavy nuclei in complete fusion reactions by incorporating the coupling of the relative motion to the nucleon transfer process. The capture of two heavy colliding nuclei, the formation of the compound nucleus and the de-excitation process are calculated by using an empirical coupled channel model, solving a set of microscopically derived master equations numerically and applying statistical theory, respectively. Fusion-fission reactions and evaporation residue excitation functions of synthesizing superheavy nuclei (SHN) are investigated systematically and compared them with available experimental data. The possible factors that affecting the production cross sections of SHN are discussed in this workshop.

Production of a neutral scalar associated with a photon at the LHC in the topcolorassisted technicolor model

In the context of the topcolor-assisted technicolor （TC2） model, we consider the production of the neutral scalar S （7~t~ or ht~） associated with a photon at the LHC and compare our results with those given by the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model （MSSM）. We find that its production cross section is larger or smaller than that of the scalar particle predicted by the MSSM model, depending on the values of the relevant free parameters.

Littlest Higgs model with T-parity and single top production in ep collisions

Based on calculating the contributions of the littlest Higgs model with T-parity （called LHT model） to the anomalous top coupling tqγ （q = u or c）, we consider single top production via the t-channel partonic process eq→et in ep collisions. Our numerical results show that the production cross section in the LHT model can be significantly enhanced relative to that in the standard model （SM）.

LHT model and Higgs boson production in association with a weak gauge boson at the LHC

Considering the process pp→VH ＋X（V = W or Z） is a significant channel for searching for a light Higgs boson, we calculate the contributions of the littlest Higgs model with T-parity （called LHT model） to its production cross section. We find that, in most of the parameter space, the value of the relative correction parameter R is very small. However, with reasonable values of the free parameters, its value can be significantly larger.

Single vector-like top partner production in the left-right twin Higgs model at TeV energy eγ colliders

The left-right twin Higgs model contains a new vector-like heavy top quark, which mixes with the SM- like top quark. In this work, we studied the single vector-like top partner production via process e-γ→ve Tb at the International Linear Collider. We calculated the production cross section at tree level and displayed the relevant differential distributions. The result shows that there will be 125 events produced each year with s=2 TeV and the integrated luminosity Lint ≈500 fb-1, and the b-quark tagging and the relevant missing energy ET cut will be helpful to detect this new effect.

Exploring the Feasibility of Producing Superheavy Nuclei in the Proton Evaporation Channel

The feasibility of producing superheavy nuclei in proton evaporation channels was systematically studied within the dinuclear system(DNS)model.Due to the Z=114 proton-shell,one can synthesize Fl isotopes in proton evaporation channels.We only considered the case of evaporating one proton first and then n neutrons in this work,other cases were ignored due to the small cross-section.The production cross sections of unknown isotopes ^(290,291)Fl in ^(38)S+^(255)Es reaction are the highest compared with ^(50)Ti+^(243)Np and ^(54)Cr+^(239)Pa reactions,and the maximum cross sections are 1.1 and 15.1 pb,respectively.^(42)S+^(254)Es is a promising candidate to approach the island of stability as the radioactive beam facilities are upgraded in the future,and the production cross sections of ^(291−294)Fl in that reaction are estimated to be 3.2,6.0,4.0,and 0.1 pb,respectively.
