Faculty of Science / The Doppler shift and the Doppler broadening of prompt gamma emissions were measured for
some residues formed in the interaction of 33 A MeV 12C ions with a 63Cu target using the AFRODITE
detector array at Faure, Cape Town. This is a potentially new technique to carry out nuclear interaction
studies. Coincident gamma rays emitted by the residues are used in their identification. Detection
at angles other than 90◦ with respect to the beam axis gives the magnitude of the mean Doppler shifts
and the average linear momentum transfer. The Doppler broadening of the detected gamma lines at 90 ◦
with respect to the beam axis could give the residue recoil angular distribution. The precise shapes of the
Doppler shifted and broadened gamma lines for each of the residues extracted, reveals the distribution, in
magnitude and angle, of the momentum transferred in the interaction process. In addition, characteristic
gamma energy transitions of each residue populated carry additional information on angular momentum
(spin) transfer, production cross-section and nuclear excitation states. The measured residues show a
unique distribution of momentum ranging from single nucleon transfer to complete damping of the projectile
momentum. The measured observables are consistent with the existing data from other techniques,
making the new technique viable option for studying nuclear interaction kinematics. A comparison of
the experimental measurements with the predictions of the model developed in Milano 1 and GEANT4
calculations shows that the model developed in Milano model give a much better agreement compared
to the GEANT4 calculations, attributed to the assumption of projectile break-up and re-emission process
of some of the fragments during the first step of the nuclear interaction process.

Heavy Ion Reactions Proceeding Via 221*Ac Compound NucleiGough, Richard Arthur 02 1900 (has links)
<p> A high speed recoil transport system is developed making possible the simultaneous study of many decay products of the compound nucleus 221*Ac. Oeterminati ons of the efficiency properties of the transport system, essential for absolute cross section measurements , are discussed in detail. </p> <p> A study of angular momentum effects is made possibly by synthesis of 221*Ac using three heavy ion reactions. Absolute cross sections for (HI,xn) and (HI,pxn) reaction products are determined relative to established cross sections for production of 150Dy. Relative cross sections for francium production are also determined. </p> <p> A sophisticated statistical model calculation is adapted to provide a framework for interpretation of the results. Some insight is gained into the roles played by basic physical concepts in the systematic of compound nucleus decay in this mass region </p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Emission de neutrons par les réactions d'ions lourds (4,6-95 MeV/nucléon) / Neutron emission by heavy-ion reactions [4.6-95 MeV/nucleon]Trinh, Ngoc Duy 15 October 2018 (has links)
Les accélérateurs d’ions lourds sont un outil incontournable pour la recherche en physique nucléaire. Ils sont également utilisés pour diverses applications. Il est nécessaire de caractériser la production des neutrons secondaires dans les accélérateurs afin de garantir un fonctionnement sûr en toutes circonstances. Cependant, les données expérimentales sont très rares voire inexistantes. Pour certaines données, on note des divergences entre différentes publications. Des désaccords sont aussi observés entre les mesures et les calculs. Toutes ces raisons justifient le programme Thick Target Neutron Yields (TTNY) dont l’objectif est de mesurer des spectres doublement différentiels (énergie, angle) des neutrons générés par l’interaction des ions lourds (12≤Afaisceau≤208 et 4,6 MeV/nucléon≤Efaisceau≤95 MeV/nucléon) sur cibles épaisses (natC, natCu et natNb). Deux techniques de mesure ont été utilisées : Activation et Temps de vol. Cela permet d’avoir une meilleure confiance dans les mesures, d’étudier les limites expérimentales et de consolider les conclusions que l’on peut en tirer. Les mesures sont comparées à des simulations effectuées dans ce travail avec les codes Monte-Carlo les plus utilisés en calcul nucléaires : PHITS (japonais), FLUKA (européen (CERN/INFN)) et MCNP (américain). Ces comparaisons ont permis d’évaluer la qualité des codes dans les énergies étudiées et pour les masses des noyaux explorées. Elles ont permis aussi de conclure sur les incertitudes systématiques et les éventuelles évolutions à apporter aux modèles physiques de ces codes. / Heavy-ion accelerators are an essential tool for nuclear physics research. They are also adopted in several applications. It is necessary to characterize the secondary neutrons production in order to guarantee a safe operation in every circumstance in accelerators. However, experimental data are very rare or even non-existent. For some data, we notice disagreements between different publications. Disagreements are also observed between measurements data and simulations. For all these reasons, we established the program Thick Target Neutron Yields (TTNY). This program aims to measure the double differential neutron spectra (energy, angle) generated by the interactions of heavy-ions (12≤Abeam≤208 and 4.6 MeV/nucleon≤Ebeam≤95 MeV/nucleon) on thick targets (natC, natCu and natNb). Two measurements methods were adopted: Activation and Time of Flight. This choice allows having a better confidence on the measurements, studying experimental limits and consolidating the conclusions that could be drawn from the experimental results. The measurements are compared to the simulations performed with some Monte-Carlo widely used in nuclear simulation: PHITS (Japanese), FLUKA (European (CERN/INFN)) and MCNP (American). These comparisons allowed evaluating the modeling quality of heavy-ion reactions for the energies and masses explored in this work. We also conclude on the systematic uncertainties and on the potential improvements to be introduced to physics models of these codes.

Determinação de Escalas Temporais para Reações entre Íons-pesados Leves através de Medidas de Correlações a Momentos Relativos Pequenos / Time scale determination for light heavy-ion reactions through small relative momenta correlation measurementsMoura, Marcia Maria de 14 December 1999 (has links)
Neste trabalho foram realizadas, no Laboratório Pelletron do Instituto de Física da Universidade de São Paulo, medidas de coincidência entre partículas com momentos relativos pequenos para os sistemas 160+10B e 160+ 12C nas energias de 62,5 e 64,0 MeV, respectivamente. Para isso, foi utilizado um hodoscópio composto de 14 telescópios do tipo E-E, capazes de medir a energia tanto de partículas pesadas (Z>2) como leves (Z2). A partir dessas medidas foram obtidos espectros de diferença dos módulos das velocidades (vdif) e funções correlação em momento relativo (prel) para vários pa res de partículas. A análise do espectro de vdif permite determinar a proporção relativa entre as duas seqüências de emissão possíveis para um dado par de partículas. A região da anticorrelação na função correlação permite obter informações sobre a escala temporal referente ao intervalo de tempo entre a emissão da primeira e da segunda partícula. Para o ajuste tanto do espectro de vdif como da função correlação foi utilizado um programa que simula a emissão sequencial de duas partículas a partir de um núcleo composto, no qual a fração das sequências de emissão e a escala temporal são parâmetros ajustáveis. Correlações envolvendo somente partículas leves forneceram resultados para as escalas temporais da ordem de 10-20 s a 10-19 s, compatíveis com evaporação sequencial de um núcleo composto. Correlações envolvendo partículas leves e pesadas forneceram escalas temporais da ordem de 10-20s compatíveis com a fissão de núcleos residuais após a emissão de uma partícula leve. / Particle-particle correlation measurements at small relative momenta for the 160+10B and 160+ 12C systems at Elab = 62.5 and 64 MeV, respectively, were performed at the University of São Paulo - Pelletron Laboratory. The experimental setup consisted of a hodoscope composed by fourteen triple telescopes which provide the energy for both light (Z 2 ) and heavy (Z>2) particles. Velocity difference (vdifl) spectra a nd correlation functions at small relative momenta were obtained for many particle pairs. The velocity difference spectrum provides information about the emission order for the particles. The anticorrelation region in the correlation function provides information about the time between the first and second emission. A simulation code that calculates sequencial emission from a compound nucleus and for which the emission order and time scale are parameters was used to fit both the vdiff spectrum and the correlation function. The time scales obtained for light particle correlations are between 10-20 and 10-19 s and they are in agreement with predictions for the evaporation of compound nuclei. Correlations between light and heavy particles give time scales of about 10 -20 which are compatible with fission of the residual nuclei after a light particle emission.

Studies of collective phenomena in neutron deficient nuclei : by means of lifetime measurements, angular correlation measurements and the recoil-decay tagging techniqueAndgren, Karin January 2008 (has links)
The nucleus is a mesoscopic system that retains features from both the quantum and macroscopic worlds. A basic property of a macroscopic body is its shape. Nuclear shapes can be deduced from experimental data as they influence the excitation mode of the nucleus and hence the energies and lifetimes of its excited levels. Various short-lived nuclei were created in fusion-evaporation experiments performed at international heavy-ion accelerator facilities. The emitted γ rays and, in some experiments, also the charged particles and neutrons emitted in the reactions were detected. The studied neutron-deficient isotopes were either selected by the type and number of particles emitted in the reactions, or by using their characteristic decays. The excited states of the different isotopes were extracted from the γ-ray analyses. Spectroscopic properties, such as the lifetimes of the excited states or the angular distribution of the emitted γ rays were measured when possible. The experimentally obtained level schemes together with the other spectroscopic information were used to deduce the excitation modes and the shapes of the studied nuclei. The detector systems are described in the first chapter and in the second chapter some techniques used to extract information from the experimental data are explained. Finally, a brief theoretical overview on the nuclear models which were used to interpret the experimental results is given. / QC 20100621
