Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS), initiated in late 1970s at McMaster university based on the accelerator and detector technique, has long been applied in the studies on archaeology, geology, and cosmology, as a powerful tool for isotope dating. The advantages of AMS in the analysis of rare nuclides by direct counting of the atoms, small sample size and relatively free from the interferences of molecular ions have been well documented. This paper emphasizes that AMS can not only be used for archaeology, geology, environment, biology and so on, but also served as a unique tool for nuclear physics research.

79Se is a long-lived fission product with chemical and radiological toxicity. It is one of the radionuclides of interest in nuclear waste disposal due to its potential migration capacity to the surface environment. Furthermore, 79Se is an ideal tracer in biomedicine. One of the major obstacles in the measurement of ultratrace 79Se with AMS is the strong interference from the isobaric nuclide 79Br. This paper presents a new ultra-sensitive method for 79Se measurements with AMS. The novel aspects of our procedures include the extraction of SeO2- molecular ions, that results in a suppression of 79Br background by as much as about five orders of magnitude; the selection of Ag 2SeO 3 as the chemical form of Se in the target sample, that brings about a relatively large and stable SeO2- beam current; and the renovation of the multi-anode detector, that makes 79Se better identified from the interfering nuclide 79Br. By using these procedures, a sensitivity of better than 1.0 × 10 -12 has been achieved for 79Se/Se measurement with the CIAE-AMS system. It is then possible to quantify the tracer 79Se in biological samples. Recently, we are prepared to develop the 79Se-AMS biological tracer methodology.

In order to make benchmark validation of the nuclear data for gallium (Ga), tungsten (W) and beryllium (Be) in existing modern evaluated nuclear data files, neutron leakage spectra in the range from 0.8 to 15 MeV from slab samples were measured by time-of-flight technique with a BC501 scintillation detector. The measurements were performed at China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) using a D-T neutron source. The thicknesses of the slabs were 0.5 to 2.5 mean free path for 14.8 MeV neutrons, and the measured angles were chosen to be 60∘ and 120∘. The measured spectra were compared with those calculated by the continuous energy Monte-Carlo transport code MCNP, using the data from the CENDL-3.1, ENDF/B-VII.1 and JENDL-4.0 nuclear data files, the comparison between the experimental and calculated results show that: The results from all three libraries significantly underestimate the cross section in energy range of 10-13 MeV for Ga; For W, the calculated spectra using data from CENDL-3.1 and JENDL-4.0 libraries show larger discrepancies with the measured ones, especially around 8.5-13.5 MeV; and for Be, all the libraries led to underestimation below 3 MeV at 120∘.

A benchmark experiment for validation of graphite data evaluated from nuclear data libraries was conducted for 14MeV neutrons irradiated on graphite cylinder samples. The experiments were performed using the benchmark experimental facility at the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE). The leakage neutron spectra from the surface of graphite (Φ13cm×20cm) at 60° and 120° and graphite (Φ13cm×2cm) at 60° were measured by the time-of-flight (TOF) method. The obtained results were compared with the measurements made by the Monte Carlo neutron transport code MCNP-4C with the ENDF/B-VII.1, CENDL-3.1 and JENDL-4.0 libraries. The results obtained from a 20cm-thick sample revealed that the calculation results with CENDL-3.1 and JENDL-4.0 libraries showed good agreements with the experiments conducted in the whole energy region. However, a large discrepancy of approximately 40% was observed below the 3MeV energy region with the ENDF/B-VII.1 library. For the 2cm-thick sample, the calculated results obtained from the abovementioned three libraries could not reproduce the experimental data in the energy range of 5-7MeV. The graphite data in CENDL-3.1 were verified for the first time and were proved to be reliable. Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Background: 139Pr is located in a transitional region of neutron number close to the N=82 shell. The study of its high-spin states and collective bands is important for systematically understanding the nuclear structural characteristics in this region.Purpose: To investigate the high-spin levels and to search for oblate bands in 139Pr.Methods: The high-spin states of 139Pr have been studied via the reaction 124Sn(19F,4n) at a beam energy of 80 MeV. The experiment was carried out at the HI-13 Tandem Accelerator at the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE). The data analysis was done by using the γ-γ coincidence method.Results: The level scheme of 139Pr has been expanded with spin up to 45/2ℏ. A total of 39 new levels and 45 new transitions are identified. Four collective band structures at high-spin states have been newly established. From systematic analysis, one of the bands is proposed as a double decoupled band; two bands are proposed as oblate bands with γ˜-60∘; another band is suggested as an oblate-triaxial band with γ˜-90∘. The other characteristics for these bands are discussed.Conclusions: A new level scheme in 139Pr has been established and the collective bands at high spin have been identified. The result shows that the strong oblate shape-driving effect is caused by neutrons at the high-spin states in 139Pr.

The Ghana Research Reactor-1 (GHARR-1) is one of Chinese’s Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR) which was purchased under a tripartite agreement between Ghana, China and the IAEA. The reactor was installed in 1994 and has since been in operation without any incident. It has been used chiefly for Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) and Training of students in the field of Nuclear Engineering. The GHARR-1 has been earmarked for the Conversion of Core from HEU to LEU which is in accordance with the GTRI program and other related and/or associated programs. Over the past few years the National Nuclear Research Institutemore » (NNRI), the Operating Organization of the Research Reactor for the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC), has undertaken various tasks in order to implement the replacement of the reactor core. After completion, of the neutronic calculations, results showed that that an LEU fuel of 12.5% enrichment was desirable. However, recent developments have shown that an LEU fuel with 13% enrichment will be fabricated by the manufacturers, which is captured in a fuel specification document sent to NNRI by the CIAE. It is therefore imperative that all neutronic and thermal hydraulic calculation be done again to help acquire regulatory approval. Furthermore, the radiation exposure to personnel involved in the conversion must be estimated to help convince our regulators. This paper outlines the processes and activities that will enable us meet regulatory requirements.« less

Investigation of the breakup and transfer effect of weakly bound nuclei on the fusion process has been an interesting research topic in the past several years. However, owing to the low intensities of the presently available radioactive ion beam (RIB), it is difficult to clearly explore the reaction mechanisms of nuclear systems with unstable nuclei. In comparison with RIB, the beam intensities of stable weakly bound nuclei such as 6,7Li and 9Be, which have significant breakup probability, are orders of magnitude higher. Precise fusion measurements have already been performed with those stable weakly bound nuclei, and the effect of breakup of those nuclei on the fusion process has been extensively studied. Those nuclei indicated large production cross sections for particles other than the α + x breakup. The particles are originated from non-capture breakup (NCBU), incomplete fusion (ICF) and transfer processes. However, the conclusion of reaction dynamics was not clear and has the contradiction. In our previous experiments we have performed 6Li+96Zr and 154Sm at HI-13 Tandem accelerator of China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) by using HPGe array. It is shown that there is a small complete fusion (CF) suppression on medium-mass target nucleus 96Zr different from about 35% suppression on heavier target nucleus 154Sm at near-barrier energies. It seems that the CF suppression factor depends on the charge of target nuclei. We also observed one neutron transfer process. However, the experimental data are scarce for medium-mass target nuclei. In order to have a proper understanding of the influence of breakup and transfer of weakly bound projectiles on the fusion process, we performed the 6Li+89Y experiment with incident energies of 22 MeV and 34 MeV on Galileo array in cooperation with Si-ball EUCLIDES at Legnaro National Laboratory (LNL) in Italy. Using particle-particle and particle-γ coincidences, the different reaction mechanisms can be clearly explored.

From the stripping points, the high intensity proton beam of a compact cyclotron travels through the fringe field area of the machine to the combination magnet. Starting from there the beams with various energy is transferred to the switching magnet for distribution to the beam line targets. In the design of the extraction and transport system for the compact proton cyclotron facilities, such as the 70 MeV in France and the 100 MeV in China, the space charge effect as the beam crosses the fringe field has not been previously considered; neither has the impact on transverse beam envelope coupled from the longitudinal direction. Those have been concerned much more with the higher beam-power because of the beam loss problem. In this paper, based on the mapping data of 70 MeV cyclotron including the fringe field by BEST Cyclotron Inc (BEST) and combination magnet field by China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE), the beam extraction and transport are investigated for the 70 MeV cyclotron used on the SPES project at Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro (INFN-LNL). The study includes the space charge effect and longitudinal and transverse coupling mentioned above, as well as the matching of beam optics using the beam line for medical isotope production as an example. In addition, the designs of the ±45° switching magnets and the 60° bending magnet for the extracted beam with the energy from 35 MeV to 70 MeV have been made. Parts of the construction and field measurements of those magnets have been done as well. The current result shows that, the design considers the complexity of the compact cyclotron extraction area and fits the requirements of the extraction and transport for high intensity proton beam, especially at mA intensity levels.

Ahern, Keith; Daming, Liu; Hanley, Tim

The United States Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) and the China Atomic Energy Authority (CAEA) are cooperating to enhance the domestic regulatory inspections capacity for special nuclear material protection, control and accounting (MPC&A) requirements for civil nuclear facilities in China. This cooperation is conducted under the auspices of the Agreement between the Department of Energy of the United States of America and the State Development and Planning Commission of the People s Republic of China on Cooperation Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Technology. This initial successful effort was conducted in three phases. Phase I focused on introducingmore » CAEA personnel to DOE and U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspection methods for U. S. facilities. This phase was completed in January 2008 during meetings in Beijing. Phase II focused on developing physical protection and material control and accounting inspection exercises that enforced U. S. inspection methods identified during Phase 1. Hands on inspection activities were conducted in the United States over a two week period in July 2009. Simulated deficiencies were integrated into the inspection exercises. The U. S. and Chinese participants actively identified and discussed deficiencies noted during the two week training course. The material control and accounting inspection exercises were conducted at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP) in Paducah, KY. The physical protection inspection exercises were conducted at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Oak Ridge, TN. Phase III leveraged information provided under Phase I and experience gained under Phase II to develop a formal inspection guide that incorporates a systematic approach to training for Chinese MPC&A field inspectors. Additional hands on exercises that are applicable to Chinese regulations were incorporated into the Phase III training material. Phase III was completed in May 2010 at the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) in Beijing. This paper provides details of the successful cooperation between DOE/NNSA and CAEA for all phases of the cooperative effort to enhance civil domestic MPC&A inspections in China.« less

PACIAE 2.1: An updated issue of the parton and hadron cascade model PACIAE 2.0

We have updated the parton and hadron cascade model PACIAE 2.0 (cf. Ben-Hao Sa, Dai-Mei Zhou, Yu-Liang Yan, Xiao-Mei Li, Sheng-Qin Feng, Bao-Guo Dong, Xu Cai, Comput. Phys. Comm. 183 (2012) 333.) to the new issue of PACIAE 2.1. The PACIAE model is based on PYTHIA. In the PYTHIA model, once the hadron transverse momentum pT is randomly sampled in the string fragmentation, the px and py components are originally put on the circle with radius pT randomly. Now it is put on the circumference of ellipse with half major and minor axes of pT(1+δp) and pT(1-δp), respectively, in order to better investigate the final state transverse momentum anisotropy. New version program summaryManuscript title: PACIAE 2.1: An updated issue of the parton and hadron cascade model PACIAE 2.0 Authors: Ben-Hao Sa, Dai-Mei Zhou, Yu-Liang Yan, Bao-Guo Dong, and Xu Cai Program title: PACIAE version 2.1 Journal reference: Catalogue identifier: Licensing provisions: none Programming language: FORTRAN 77 or GFORTRAN Computer: DELL Studio XPS and others with a FORTRAN 77 or GFORTRAN compiler Operating system: Linux or Windows with FORTRAN 77 or GFORTRAN compiler RAM: ≈ 1GB Number of processors used: Supplementary material: Keywords: relativistic nuclear collision; PYTHIA model; PACIAE model Classification: 11.1, 17.8 External routines/libraries: Subprograms used: Catalogue identifier of previous version: aeki_v1_0* Journal reference of previous version: Comput. Phys. Comm. 183(2012)333. Does the new version supersede the previous version?: Yes* Nature of problem: PACIAE is based on PYTHIA. In the PYTHIA model, once the hadron transverse momentum(pT)is randomly sampled in the string fragmentation, thepxandpycomponents are randomly placed on the circle with radius ofpT. This strongly cancels the final state transverse momentum asymmetry developed dynamically. Solution method: Thepxandpycomponent of hadron in the string fragmentation is now randomly placed on the circumference of an ellipse with half major axis ofpT(1+δp)and the half minor axis ofpT(1-δp)instead of the circle. Reasons for the new version: PACIAE is based on PYTHIA, where once the hadron transverse momentum(pT)is randomly sampled in the string fragmentation, thepxandpycomponents are randomly placed on the circle with radius ofpT. This is not only strongly canceling the final state transverse momentum asymmetry developed dynamically, but also inconsistent with the ATLAS observation of the final state charged particle transverse sphericity being less than unity [8]. Summary of revisions: The main revision is executed by randomly placingpxandpycomponents of the hadron transverse momentumpT, in the string fragmentation, on the circumference of an ellipse with half major axis ofpT(1+δp)and half minor axis ofpT(1-δp)instead of a circle. Restrictions: Depend on the problem studied. Unusual features: Additional comments: Email addresses: zhoudm@phy.ccnu.edu.cn (D.-M. Zhou), yanyl@ciae.ac.cn (Y.-L. Yan).

Using the attached input file of usu.dat to run 10 events for the 10%-40% most central Au+Au collisions at√{s}=200 GeVby 21c.tar.gz takes 17 min. 1. The large azimuthal anisotropy (the large second harmonic coefficient v2) of the emitted particle is an important feature of the hot and dense medium created in the ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions. This large v2 has contributed to the observation of a strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma (sQGP) in the nucleus-nucleus collisions at the RHIC energies [1-4]. The nuclear overlap zone created in a nucleus-nucleus collisions at a given impact parameter possesses an almond-like spatial asymmetry. Because of the strong parton rescattering, the local thermal equilibrium and asymmetric pressure gradient may build up in this initial fireball. The asymmetric pressure gradient then drives a collective anisotropic expansion. The expansion along the almond minor axis (along the large pressure gradient) is faster than the one along the major axis. This results in a strong asymmetric transverse momentum azimuthal distribution and hence a large elliptic flow coefficient v2 of the final hadronic state. As mentioned in [6], PACIAE is a parton and hadron cascade model for the ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions and is based on PYTHIA [7]. In the PACIAE model, a nucleus-nucleus collision is decomposed into a sequence of nucleon-nucleon (NN) collisions according to the collision geometry and the NN total cross section. Each NN collision is performed, in turn, by the PYTHIA model with the string fragmentation switched-off temporarily and the diquark (anti-diquark) broken into quark pairs (anti-quark pairs) randomly. The parton rescattering then proceeds. This parton evolution stage is followed by the hadronization at the moment of partonic freeze-out (exhausting the partonic collisions). The Lund string fragmentation regime and/or phenomenological coalescence model is provided for the hadronization. Then the rescattering among produced hadrons is dealt with by the usual two body collision model [6]. In the PYTHIA model [7] once the transverse momentum pT of a final state hadron generated from the string fragmentation and/or the unstable particle decay is randomly sampled, the px and py components are randomly placed on the circle with radius of pT. This px and py determination may strongly cancel the final state transverse momentum anisotropy developed dynamically. The charged particle transverse sphericity [8-10] may reach to unity (isotropic). This is inconsistent with the experimental observation that the charged particle transverse sphericity is less than unity [8]. Therefore we randomly placed the generated final state hadrons on the circumference of an ellipse with half major axis of pT(1+δp) and a half minor axis of pT(1-δp) instead of a circle. This change is also introduced in the particle/parton production process of hard scattering, multiple interactions, initial- and final-state parton showers, for the nucleus-nucleus collisions [7]. This change is even introduced in the deexcitation of energetic quark (anti-quark) when the phenomenological coalescence model [6] is selected for hadronization. Of course, a new pT should be recalculated by px and py after this change. Then the transverse momentum distribution of the final state hadron may be modified. However, if the deformation parameter δp is less than unity (a small perturbation) the change in transverse momentum distribution may be weak. From ideal hydrodynamic calculations [11] one knows that the integrated elliptic flow parameter is directly proportional to the initial spatial eccentricity of the nuclear overlap zone. Therefore, if the nuclear overlap zone is assumed to be an ellipse with major axis of b=2RA(1+δr) and minor axis of a=2RA(1-δr) for a symmetry nucleus-nucleus collision with nuclear radius of RA, we may assume δp=Cδr where C is an extra model parameter. C=0 corresponds to the original case of px and py put on the circle randomly. In order to calculate δr we first calculate the reaction plane eccentricity [12] ɛ={σ}/{y2-σx2σy2+σx2} according to the participant nucleons spatial distributions inside the nuclear overlap zone [6] in the PACIAE simulation. In the above equation, σx2=x2¯ -x (the same for σy2) and x (x¯) denotes an average of x2 (x) over particles in a single event. The event average reaction plane eccentricity reads <ɛ>=<{σ}/{y2-σx2σy2+σx2}>. On the other hand, the geometric eccentricity [13] of the ellipse-like nuclear overlap zone is ɛg=√{{b2-a2}/{b2}}. Letting ɛg=ɛ, one approximately obtains δr≃{ɛ}/{rp24}. The calculated charged particle v2(pT) at mid-rapidity (|η|<1) in the 10%-40% most central Au+Au collision at √{s}=200 GeV is compared with the corresponding STAR data [5] in Fig. 1. In this figure the STAR data are denoted by solid symbols: the black circles are measured with the event plane method (EP), red squares with Lee-Yang zero point method (L-YZ), and green triangles with four particle cumulant method (4 cumulant). The PACIAE results are given by open symbols: the black circles calculated with C=4, red squares with C=3, and green triangles with C=2. One sees in this figure that the STAR data [5] on the charged particle v2(pT) are able to be reproduced by the PACIAE calculations with C=3. The C=0 PACIAE results are too small compared to the STAR data. (Color online) The charged particle v2(pT) at mid-rapidity (|η|<1) in 10%-40% most central Au+Au collisions at √{s}=200 GeV.
