Reflection Asymmetric Relativistic Mean Field Approach and Its Application to the Octupole Deformed Nucleus ^226Ra

A reflection asymmetric relativistic mean field （RAS-RMF） approach is developed by expanding the equations of motion for both the nucleons and the mesons on the eigenfunctions of the two-centre harmonic-oscillator potential. The efficiency and reliability of the RAS-RMF approach are demonstrated in its application to the well-known octupole deformed nucleus 226Ra and the available data, including the binding energy and the deformation parameters, are well reproduced.

Simulation of(p,d) reaction on RIBLL2 for study of tensor force

In order to study the effect of tensor force,we plan to perform a(p,d)reaction with a 400–1600 Me V proton beam on the RIBLL2 at Lanzhou.Based on the experimental conditions of RIBLL2,a Monte Carlo method is used to simulate(p,d)reaction process.The distributions of primary beam and scattered deuterons are given on the target and at the F1,F2,F3,and F4 positions.Considering the yield of the deuteron,to separate the produced deuteron from the background particles,the target thickness is optimized.To obtain a clear particle identification spectrum by time of flight(TOF)and energy loss(?E),the distance between the two detectors,as well as the energy and timing resolution of detectors are simulated.As a result,the distance between F2 and F4 is fit for that of TOF.After taking into account the particle distribution at F4,both sizes of Multi-Wire Drift Chamber,namely MWDC2 and MWDC3,are selected to be 50 mm×50 mm.

A method of estimating and subtracting the hydrogen background in the natural carbon target used in the ^(12)C + ^(12)C experiment

The experimental data of 100 A MeV12C +12C elastic scattering are checked by using two-body kinematic calculation and12 C + p elastic scattering. It is shown that the measured data are true and reliable. In the paper,the transformation between the excited energy spectra of the12 C +12C system and the ground state energy spectra of the12 C + p system is introduced. The method of subtraction of the hydrogen background in the natural carbon target used in the experiment is elaborately described and the results are discussed. It is indicated that this method of subtraction of hydrogen background is reasonable and can be used in the data analysis. Based on the elastic scattering cross section of the previous experiment of12C+p at 95.3A MeV, the hydrogen content entered into the reaction is analyzed. The final hydrogen content in the natural carbon target is(2.73 ± 0.12)%.

Inclusive Proton Energy Spectra of the Deuteron Induced Reaction

The continuum-discritized coupled channel method and the glauber model are applied for the description of deuteron elastic breakup and the stripping processes,respectively.Combined with the conventional two-component exciton model for pre-equilibrium processes and the Hauser-Feshbach theory for compound process,an approach based on models is proposed to analyze the inclusive proton energy spectra of a deuteron-induced reaction.The contributions from each process to the energy spectra of the 58Ni(d,xp)reaction are quantitatively given.The results show that this approach is able to reasonably reproduce the experimental data of the double differential cross sections,energy spectra and cross sections,although further improvements are needed.

Observation of New Isotope^(131)Ag via the Two-Step Fragmentation Technique

We report on the first observation of the neutron-rich nucleus^(131)Ag.This isotope was produced via fragmentation reactions of intense secondary radioactive ion beams,including 134,135Sn.The secondary beams were produced from induced fission reactions from a stable 238U beam at 345 MeV/nucleon.Secondary reaction residues were selected by the ZeroDegree spectrometer and identified by measuring their magnetic rigidity,time of flight,energy loss,and total kinetic energy.

Search for Majoron at the COMET experiment

A new Goldstone particle named Majoron is introduced in order to explain the origin of neutrino mass via some new physics models assuming that neutrinos are Majorana particles.By expanding the signal region and using likelihood analysis,it becomes possible to search for Majoron using experiments originally designed to search forμ-e conversion.For the COMET experiment,the sensitivity of processμ→eJ is able to reach B(μ→eJ)=2.3×10-5in Phase-I and O(10-8)in Phase-II.Meanwhile,the sensitivities to search for Majoron in future experiments are also discussed in this article.

Tetraquark and Pentaquark Systems in Lattice QCD

We study multi-quark systems in lattice QCD. First, we revisit and summarize our accurate mass measurements of low-lying 5Q states with J = 1/2 and I = 0 in both positive- and negative-parity channels in anisotropic lattice QCD. The lowest positive-parity 5Q state is found to have a large mass of about 2.24 GeV after the chiral extrapolation. To single out the compact 5Q state from NK scattering states, we use the hybrid boundary condition (HBC), and find no evidence of the compact 5Q state below 1.75 GeV in the negative-parity channel. Second, we study the multi-quark potential in lattice QCD to clarify the inter-quark interaction in multi-quark systems. The 5Q potential V5Q for the QQ--QQ system is found to be well described by the “OGE Coulomb plus multi-Y Ansatz”: The sum of the one-gluon-exchange (OGE) Coulomb term and the multi-Y-type linear term based on the flux-tube picture. The 4Q potential V4Q for the QQ- system is also described by the OGE Coulomb plus multi-Y Ansatz, when QQ and are well separated. The 4Q system is described as a “two-meson” state with disconnected flux tubes, when the nearest quark and antiquark pair are spatially close. We observe a lattice-QCD evidence for the “flip-flop”, i.e., the fluxtube recombination between the connected 4Q state and the “two-meson” state. On the confinement mechanism, the lattice QCD results indicate the flux-tube-type linear confinement in multi-quark hadrons. Finally, we propose a proper quark-model Hamiltonian based on the lattice QCD results.

Pion Effect of Nuclear Matter in a Chiral Sigma Model

We develop a new framework for the study of the nuclear matter based on the linear sigma model. We introduce a completely new viewpoint on the treatment of the nuclear matter with the inclusion of the pion. We extend the relativistic chiral mean field model by using the similar method in the tensor optimized shell model. We also regulate the pion-nucleon interaction by considering the form-factor and short range repulsion effects. We obtain the equation of state of nuclear matter and study the importance of the pion effect.

In-flight(K^-,N) Reactions for Study of Kaon-nucleus Interaction

We would like to emphasize that the in-flight (K-,N) reactions are particularly useful for the study of the K-nucleus interaction. Since the reaction mechanism is well known,there is little ambiguity to derive the K-nucleus interaction from the measured missing mass spectra. Here we discuss the missing mass spectra of the (K-,N) reactions on the 12C and 16O targets. The spectra show an appreciable amount of strength below the K-nucleus threshold which indicates that the K-nuclear potential is strongly attractive. Comparison of the missing mass spectra with theoretical calculations leads to a potential depth of around -190 MeV for the 12C(K-,n) reaction. A less deep potential of around -160 MeV reproduces well that of the 12C(K-,p) reaction. The difference can be due to isospin dependence of the interaction. Our data show that the K-nucleus potential is very deep to realize kaon condensation in the core of neutron stars.

Simulation of beam optics for ^(12)C+^(12)C scattering of RCNP by using Monte Carlo method

The Monte Carlo method is used to simulate the beam optics of the WS beam line of RCNP, Osaka University in order to know the effect of collimators on the beam line to control the beam spot. According to the simulation, we do not need to use the collimator to cut the beam and the beam angular resolution can be better than 0.05° in achromatic mode. In the present paper, the actual beam condition during the beam adjustment is listed. The accelerator can provide a 12C beam in achromatic mode and the angular resolution σ=0.7775 mrad±0.0030 mrad.

Dynamic nuclear self-polarization of Ⅲ–Ⅴsemiconductors

Ⅲ–Ⅴ semiconductors exhibit dynamic nuclear self-polarization(DYNASP) owing to the contact hyperfine interaction(HFI) between optically excited conduction electrons and lattice nuclei. In the self-polarization process at a low temperature, electron spin state and the nuclear polarization(magnetization) exchange a positive feedback, increasing energy splitting of the conduction electron states, thereby a large nuclear polarization. This phenomenon was theoretically predicted previously for conduction electrons excited linearly and elliptically polarized light. The polarization of the conduction electrons was represented by a parameter α in a formula for nuclear polarization(Eq.(9) in Ref. [1]); however, the effect of external magnetic fields on the nuclear polarization was not considered. Therefore, this study introduces this effect by further extending the previous studies. Herein, α′represents the combination of the effects of elliptically polarized electrons and an external magnetic field, which is used in the equations presented in previous studies. When α′ = 0, a large nuclear polarization is obtained below critical temperature Tc, but no polarization occurs above Tc. When α′ > 0, the nuclear polarization is enhanced above Tc. Below Tc, the nuclear polarization follows a hysteresis curve when α′ is partially manipulated by adjusting the degree of the polarization of the exciting laser.

Development of Polarized HD Target for Future LEPS Experiments at SPring-8

We are carrying out hadron photoproduction experiments by using polarized photon beams at SPring-8 in Japan. In 2005,we started developing a polarized HD target for future experiments using both the polarized photon beams and the polarized target. The polarized HD target is an idealistic target for experiments observing reactions with small cross sections because the HD does not include heavy nuclei which produce many background events. The measurement of double polarization asymmetries is expected to give much important information to investigate the nucleon hidden structure,hadron photoproduction dynamics,and exotic hadron property. We report on the present status of the development of the polarized HD target at RCNP.

Novel evidence for the σ-bond linear-chain molecular structure in ^(14)C

A multi-nucleon transfer and cluster decay experiment,^(7)Li(^(11)B,^(14)C^(*)→α+^(10)Be)α,is conducted at an incident beam energy of 55 MeV.This reaction channel has a significantly large 0-value,which favors populating the high lying resonant states in ^(14)C.The decay paths,from these resonances to various states of the final nucleus ^(10) Be,can be selected,owing to the experimentally achieved optimal resolution of the Q-value spectrum.A number of resonant states are reconstructed from the forward emitting 10Be+α fragments,and their major molecular structures can be detected according to the selective decay paths and relative decay widths.A state at 22.4(2)MeV validates the previously measured and theoretically predicted band head of the positive-parity σ-bond linear-chain mo-lecular band.Two additional resonances at 22.9(2)and 24.2(2)MeV are identified and consistent with the predicted 2^(+) and 4^(+) members of the same molecular band,thus providing novel evidences for the existence of the exotic clustering chain structure in neutron-rich carbon isotopes.A few high energy resonances,which also indicate the presence of the σ-bond molecular structure,are observed;however,further studies are still required to clarify their ascription in band systematics.

π~0 Photoproduction on Deuteron for Photon Energies from 0.6 to 1.15 GeV

Differential and total cross sections of the γp→π0p and the γd→π0pn reaction were measured for photon energies between 640 and 1 150 MeV. The data have been compared with SAID and MAID model calculations. π0 photoproduction on the deuteron shows a strong suppression of the 2nd resonance which is clearly seen in the γp→π0p reaction.

Light meson emissions of selected charmonium-like states within compact tetraquark configurations

We adopt the quark pair creation model to investigate the light meson emissions of several charmoniumlike states.The quark pair creation model is applied to four-body systems,and we calculate the pion/kaon emissions of X(4700),Z_(c)(4430),Y(4230),Y(4360),Y(4390),and Y(4660)within compact tetraquark configurations.We find that the pion/kaon decay widths of X(4700)and Z_(c)(4430)the resonances Y(4230),Y(4360),Y(4390),and Y(4660)cay behaviors will provide useful information for future experimental searches and theoretical interpretations.
