Preliminary results of the updated LECR2 source-LECR2M

The Latest developed LECR2M (Lanzhou ECR No. 2 Modified) source is the updated one of LECR2 (Lanzhou ECR No. 2) source at IMP. It has been assembled on the low energy ion beam experimental platform to produce MCI beams for atomic physics and material physics experimental research. In our updating program, the structure of injection and extraction components has been modified to make the source structure more simple and effective. The hexapole magnet has also been replaced by a new hexapole magnet with higher radial field and larger inner diameter. With this updating, stronger magnetic field confinement of the ECR plasma is possible and better base vacuum condition is also achieved. LECR2M was designed to be operated at 14.5GHz. During the preliminary test, 1.3emA O6+ beam was extracted with the injected rf power of 1.1kW. The source has been used to deliver intense MCI beams for different experiments. After some discussion of the main features of this newly updated source, some of the typical commissioning test results of LECR2M will be presented.

甜高粱在青海高原种植的初步研究；Preliminary study on sweet sorghum growing on Qinghai Plateau

为探讨甜高粱(Sorghum bicolor)在青海作为饲料作物种植的可能性,在青海高原上做了初步试验,结果显示:密度对茎秆高度、茎粗、产量有显著影响,对生育期、单株质量影响不显著,株行距为0.40 m×0.20m时,产量最高;浇水次数对甜高粱的生育期、茎秆高度、茎粗、单株质量、产量没有显著影响,表明甜高粱对水分依赖不高,具有很强的耐旱和抗旱性;地膜对甜高粱有极显著影响,使其生育期提前,茎秆高度增高,单株质量增加、产量提高;糖分含量在开花-收获期为15.93%~16.67%,比不盖地膜增加了29.19%~47.98%;大田示范密度0.50 m×0.20 m,开花-收获期666.7 m2产量达4 890.8 kg,投入产出比为1∶1.78,效益显著。研究表明,在青海高原东部农业区盖地膜种植饲用甜高粱,用作饲料是完全可行的。

初步的IMP重离子治疗计划系统；A Preliminary Version of Heavy Ion Treatment Planning System at IMP

中国科学院近代物理研究所基于兰州重离子研究装置(HIRFL/HIRFL-CSR),在被动型束流配送系统下采用二维分层适形照射治疗技术开展重离子治癌临床试验研究。为了更好地利用重离子束在肿瘤放射治疗中的生物物理优势并保障重离子临床治疗试验的顺利实施,一个初级版本的重离子治疗计划系统已经设计完成。此计划系统是针对被动型束流配送系统下的二维分层适形照射治疗方式来进行设计的。介绍了此系统的设计框架、可提供的功能以及利用宽束算法进行剂量计算在此系统中的实现。通过人体仿真体模实验证实由该治疗计划系统给出的靶区计划剂量与实测剂量的偏差在5%之内。最后讨论了设计较为完备的重离子治疗计划系统仍需解决的问题。

Survivin表达在高LET射线诱导细胞凋亡中作用机理的初步研究；A Preliminary Study on Action Mechanisms of Survivin Expression in Cell Apoptosis Induced by High-LET Radiation

先前的研究表明,肿瘤细胞中survivin的高表达与细胞对高传能线密度(LET)射线的辐射抗性相关。研究了survivin表达在高LET射线诱导的细胞凋亡中的作用,发现抑制survivin表达对高LETC离子辐射诱导的Bcl-2和Bax表达没有明显的影响。在高LET射线辐照中,survivin可能通过抑制caspase-3和-9活性的途径,抑制了细胞凋亡。

Preliminary study of a niobium quarter-wave prototype cavity for a heavy-ion superconducting linac

Superconducting quarter-wave resonators, due to their compactness and their convenient shape for tuning and coupling, are very attractive for low-beta beam acceleration. In this paper, two types of cavities with different geometry have been numerically simulated: the first type with larger capacitive load in the beam line and the second type of lollipop-shape for 100 MHz, beta=0.06 beams; then the relative electromagnetic parameters and geometric sizes have been compared. It is found that the second type, whose structural design is optimized with the conical stem and shaping drift-tube, can support the better accelerating performance. At the end of the paper, some structural deformation effects on frequency shifts and appropriate solutions have been discussed.
