Fragment yields for Z >= 5 from projectile fragmentation using primary beams of Ar-36,Ar-40 at 50 MeV/nucleon on Ni-64 target have been measured in RIBLL fragment separator. We compare the fragment cross sections with the predictions of the empirical EPAX parametrization of fragmentation cross-sections and Statistical Abration-Ablation model (SAA) by considering the RIBLL separator transmission rate. Isotope yield ratios between these two reactions were calculated and isoscaling parameters alpha and beta are extracted, their dependences on fragment atomic number Z and neutron number N were presented.

用RIMS研究低能He2+与Ar碰撞的多电子过程

用反冲离子动量谱仪研究了低能He2+与Ar碰撞的多电子交换过程。该技术的独特优势是对反冲离子末态动量的完全测量。实验上鉴别了单电子俘获SC，双电子俘获DC和转移电离TI各子过程，并得到了末态量子态布居信息，首次测量了该体系各反应道的角微分截面及直接与碰撞参数相关的信息。实验发现电子主要俘获到入射离子基态或单激发态，反冲离子处于单激发态或多激发态，并有较大几率形成空心离子。研究表明电荷交换过程中存在较强的电子-电子关联作用。角分布随反冲离子电荷态增加而变宽，并向大角度方向移动，表明碰撞参数减小，相互作用加剧。SC和DC与MCBM理论角微分截面符合很好，说明在大碰撞参数时经典近似有一定合理性。不同碰撞参数范围内反冲纵向动量分布表明，SC在碰撞参数7.2a.u.≥b≥3.6a.u.时发生机率最大，随碰撞参数减小，靶离子有不断向更高激发态过渡的趋势

聚碳酸酯膜的高能Ar离子辐照效应研究

本文简要介绍了PC材料的基本属性、用途和聚合物辐照效应的发展现状，以及荷能离子与固体相互作用的基本理论。重点描述了在兰州重离子加速器上完成的1.4GeV Ar离子辐照PC膜实验和辐照样品的付里叶转换红外谱（FT-IR）、紫外、可见光谱（UV、VIS）、X-射线光电子谱（XPS）和电子自旋共振谱（ESR）分析。分析结果表明：高能Ar离子在PC膜中引起的的主要辐照效应是键的断裂和材料的降解，重要降解发生在能量沉积密度大于8.0 * 10~(22)eV/cm~3或者电子能损大于1.4keV/nm时。这也表明了材料中的自由基增多，可蚀刻性增大。随辐照剂量和电子能损的增大，材料逐渐碳化，同时有类苯环物质和炔基生成。炔基的生成有一个剂量阈值为5.5 * 10~(11)ions/cm~3，有一个电子能损阈值为0.61keV/nm。在紫外、可见谱中，380nm、450nm和500nm波长处的吸光度变化随电子能损按平方规律变化，随剂量按线性规律变化。

30MeV/u~(40)Ar+~(nat)Ag反应中中等质量碎片的发射机制及其发射时间测量

中等质量碎片（IMF）的发射是中能重离子碰撞的一大特点，且随着轰击能量的升高其产额迅速增加。通过测量30MeV/u 40Ar+natAg反应中出射的中等质量碎片，研究了高激发热核的发射机制、发射时标和时空演化规律。 对反应中发射碎片能谱的运动源拟合表明，前角区（11°—22°）中等质量碎片（IMF）来自于三种成分：类靶源、类弹源和中速源成分，其中类弹和中速成分占主导，关联测量的IMF能谱拟合得到，一个来自于类弹源而另一个来自于中速源成分的事件占有相当大的比例。 利用小相对角度内的两碎片关联测量，研究高激发核衰变中中等质量碎片的发射时标和寿命。IMF发射时间随能量的变化很大，从低能碎片的250 fm/c到高能粒子的100 fm/c，表明在此能量下，反应中出射的IMF主要来自于相继两体衰变。通过与其它实验的比较可知，随着束流能量的升高，IMF发射时间由相继两体衰变向多重碎裂过渡。 IMF时空演化研究表明，发射空间的大小对IMF关联函数的影响主要来自于发射源的核物质密度而几乎不依赖于发射源的质量数。

30MeV/u~(40)Ar引起反应中的碎片发射机制

本论文中重点研究了30MeV/u 40Ar+58Ni，64Ni和115In反应中中等质量碎片（IMF）的发射机制。实验中，测量了实验室系5°～140°角度范围内出射碎片的能谱和角分布。对前角区出射的IMF（3≤Z≤13）实现了同位素鉴别，对中后角区出射的碎片在低探测阈（<2MeV/u ）的前提下实现了直到Z～30的元素鉴别。 用运动源模型对不同角度下出射的碎片能谱进行了分析和讨论，并结合角分布特征定性地研究了碎片的三个发射源。通过对各源的贡献随角度以及出射碎片电荷数Z的演化，观察到：类弹源主要发射的是那些前角区出射的、接近束流速度的高能碎片；中等速度源的发射是中角度区出射碎片和前角区低能碎片的主要来源；后角区出射的碎片则主要来自于类熔合源的发射。并观察到相对于类熔合源非平衡源更容易发射较轻的碎片。 通过对前角区出射IMF（3≤Z≤13）的能谱和同位素分布的分析，确定了那些基本保持束流速度的碎片主要来自于弹核碎裂过程。用各种模型对实验同位素分布进行了拟合，发现Sümmerer等人给出的经验公式和abrasion-ablation模型均能比较满意地拟合实验同位素分布的宽度和峰位。同时也观察到abrasion-ablation模型计算对奇Z元素的同位素分布能给出较好的拟合，但对偶Z元素的同位素分布，计算结果与实验值相比出现向丰中子方向的系统性偏移（～lamu）。另外，还着重研究了这些产物的靶核相关性问题。通过系统性分析以及同位旋相关的量子分子动力学（IQMD）模型计算，得出了弹核碎裂产物的靶核相关性是源于靶核表面中子与质子分布的不同和平均场及核子核子相互作用的同位旋效应相关。并且，通过计算还指出了靶核中子皮的厚度对于用弹核碎裂方法产生丰中子同位素的重要性。 通过用统计模型拟合后角区出射碎片的电荷分布，指出了这些碎片主要来自于非完全熔合过程中形成的复合系统的统计发射。 实验中观察到30MeV/u 40Ar轰击Ni和In靶在中角区出射的碎片的电荷分布有不同的特征。相对来说，前者更服从power-law，后者则倾向于服从指数规律。结合核态方程和QMD模型计算分析得出，在30MeV/u 的40Ar引起的反应中，对于弾靶质量接近对称的碰撞对所形成的系统，在一定的碰撞条件下可能已进入spinodal区，而非对称碰撞对的碰撞中压缩能还难以使得系统在膨胀时进入力学不稳定区。从而对观察到的实验现象进行了说明，并认为30MeV/u 40Ar轰击与其质量接近的靶核的反应中出射的碎片中已有相当数量的动力学发射成分的贡献。 利用实验中在前角区出射的接近束流速度的碎片的同位素产额提取了类弹源的温度参数。观察到直接由实验同位素产额比得到的表观核温度与所选择的同位素组合有较强烈的依赖关系，而与靶核和实验室探测角基本无关。利用M.B.Tsang等人给出的修正方法，提取了经边馈效应修正后的发射源温度。得到该温度值与反应靶、探测角以及用于提出温度的同位素组合没有明显的依赖关系，均为～4MeV。并用abrasion-ablation模型计算进行了讨论，得到在假定能级密度参数的倒数k=10MeV时，该温度值与abrasion-ablation模型计算是一致的。

中能区~(40)Ar + ~(197)Au/~(159)Tb/~(nat)Ag反应中高激发热核性质研究

通过对中能区Ar+Au/Tb/Ag反应中高激发核的发射时标、发射次序、发射机制、核温度、集体运动等衰变特性的研究，提取了轻粒子和中等质量碎片（IMF）的发射时间，IMF发射时间随束流能的升高而变短，发射机制逐渐由相继衰变过渡至多重碎裂。研究了轻粒子和碎片间的发射次序，对高能粒子和碎片，轻粒子先于碎片发射，而低能时，则为碎片先于轻粒子发射。IMF发射成分与角度和碰撞参数有关，前角区来自于弹核碎裂，后角区来自于类靶热核的蒸发。在平面和出平面研究表明，中速粒子和碎片为在平面发射占主导，即存在类转动效应；对轻粒子，转动效应随粒子质量增加而增加；对中速产物均观测到该效应随碰撞参数饿增大而增大。采用几种不同的方法提取了热核的核温度，研究了不同方法之间的区别。

Chemical bond characteristics, thermal expansion property and compressibility of AR(2)O(4) (A = Ca, Sr, Ba; R = rare earths)

Theoretical researches were performed on the CaFe2O4-type binary rare earth oxides AR(2)O(4) (A = Ca, Sr, Ba; R = rare earths) by using chemical bond theory of dielectric description. The chemical bond properties of these crystals were explored, and then the thermal expansion property and compressibility were studied. The theoretical values of linear thermal expansion coefficient (LTEC) and bulk modulus were presented. The calculations revealed that the LTECs and the bulk moduli do have linear relationship with the ionic radii of the rare earths. In the cases of Sc and Y, both the LTEC and bulk modulus values are larger than the lanthanide series. We attribute this to the difference in the electronic configuration between Sc (Y) and lanthanide series. For SrY2O4 and BaY2O4 crystals, the theoretical values of LTEC and bulk modulus agree well with experimental ones.

He, Ne and Ar isotope compositions of fluid inclusions in hydrothermal sulfides from the TAG hydrothermal field, Mid-Atlantic Ridge

Helium, rieon and argon isotope compositions of fluid inclusions have been measured in hydrothermal sulfide samples from the TAG hydrothermal field at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Fluid-inclusion He-3/He-4 ratios are 2.2-13.3 times the air value (Ra), and with a mean of 7.2 Ra. Comparison with the local vent fluids (He-3/He-4=7.5-8.2 Ra) and mid-ocean ridge basalt values (He-3/He-4=6-11 Ra) shows that the variation range of He-3/He-4 ratios from sulfide-hosted fluid inclusions is significantly large. Values for Ne-20/Ne-22 are from 10.2 to 11.4, which are significantly higher than the atmospheric ratio (9.8). And fluid-inclusion Ar-40/Ar-36 ratios range from 287 to 359, which are close to the atmospheric values (295.5). These results indicate that the noble gases of fluid inclusions in hydrothermal sulfides are a mixture of mantle- and seawater-derived noble gases; the partial mantle-derived components of trapped hydrothermal fluids may be from the lower mantle; the helium of fluid inclusions is mainly from upper mantle; and the Ne and Ar components are mainly from seawater.

He, Ne and Ar isotopic composition of Fe-Mn crusts from the western and central Pacific Ocean and implications for their genesis

The noble gas nuclide abundances and isotopic ratios of the upmost layer of Fe-Mn crusts from the western and central Pacific Ocean have been determined. The results indicate that the He and Ar nuclide abundances and isotopic ratios can be classified into two types: low He-3/He-4 type and high He-3/He-4 type. The low He-3/He-4 type is characterized by high He-4 abundances of 191x10(-9) cm(3.)STP(.)g(-1) on average, with variable He-4, Ne-20 and Ar-40 abundances in the range (42.8-421)x10(-9) cm(3.)STP(.)g(-1), (5.40-141)x10(-9)cm(3.)STP(.)g(-1), and (773-10976)x10(-9) cm(3.)STP(.)g(-1), respectively. The high He-3/He-4 samples are characterized by low He-4 abundances of 11.7x10(-9) cm(3.)STP(.)g(-1) on average, with He-4, Ne-20 and Ar-40 abundances in the range of (7.57-17.4)x10(-9) cm(3.)STP(.)g(-1), (110.4-25.5)x10(-9) cm(3.)STP(.)g(-1) and (5354-9050)x10(-9) cm(3.)STP(.)g(-1), respectively. The low He-3/He-4 samples have He-3/He-4 ratios (with RIRA ratios of 2.04-2.92) which are lower than those of MORB (R/R-A=8 +/- 1) and Ar-40/Ar-36 ratios (447-543) which are higher than those of air (295.5). The high He-3/He-4 samples have He-3/He-4 ratios (with R/R-A ratios of 10.4-12.0) slightly higher than those of MORB (R/R-A=8 +/- 1) and Ar-40/Ar-36 ratios (293-299) very similar to those of air (295.5). The Ne isotopic ratios (Ne-20/Ne-22 and Ne-21/Ne-22 ratios of 10.3-10.9 and 0.02774-0.03039, respectively) and the Ar-38/Ar-36 ratios (0.1886-0.1963) have narrow ranges which are very similar to those of air (the Ne-20/Ne-22, Ne-21/Ne-22, Ar-38/Ar-36 ratios of 9.80, 0.029 and 0.187, respectively), and cannot be differentiated into different groups. The noble gas nuclide abundances and isotopic ratios, together with their regional variability, suggest that the noble gases in the Fe-Mn crusts originate primarily from the lower mantle. The low He-3/He-4 type and high He-3/He-4 type samples have noble gas characteristics similar to those of HIMU (High U/Pb Mantle)- and EM (Enriched Mantle)-type mantle material, respectively. The low He-3/He-4 type samples with HIMU-type noble gas isotopic ratios occur in the Magellan Seamounts, Marcus-Wake Seamounts, Marshall Island Chain and the Mid-Pacific Seamounts whereas the high He-3/He-4 type samples with EM-type noble gas isotopic ratios occur in the Line Island Chain. This difference in noble gas characteristics of these crust types implies that the Magellan Seamounts, Marcus-Wake Seamounts, Marshall Island Chain, and the Mid-Pacific Seamounts originated from HIMU-type lower mantle material whereas the Line Island Chain originated from EM-type lower mantle material. This finding is consistent with variations in the Pb-isotope and trace element signatures in the seamount lavas. Differences in the mantle surce may therefore be responsible for variations in the noble gas abundances and isotopic ratios in the Fe-Mn crusts. Mantle degassing appears to be the principal factor controlling noble gas isotopic abundances in Fe-Mn crusts. Decay of radioactive isotopes has a negligible influence on the nuclide abundances and isotopic ratios of noble gases in these crusts on the timescale of their formation.

An inventory of forest relicts in the pastures of Southern Tibet (Xizang AR, China)

An inventory of isolated tree stands surrounded by desert pastures in Southern Tibet (A.R. Xizang, China) revealed more than 50 sites with vigorous trees of Juniperus convallium Rehder & E.H. Wilson and Juniperus tibetica Kom and additional more than 10 records where juniper trees had been destroyed between 1959-1976. The tree stands are not restricted to any specific habitat, and occur within an area stretching 650 km westwards from the current forest border of Southern Tibet. The trees are religious landmarks of the Tibetan Buddhists. The highest trees were found at an elevation of 4,860 m. Vegetation records, rainfall correlations and temperature data collected by local climate stations and successful reforestation trials since 1999 indicate that forest relicts fragmented through human interference could regenerate if current cattle grazing and deforestation practices are halted. The drought line of Juniperus forests in Southern Tibet is approximately 200-250 mm/a. A first pollen diagram from Lhasa shows forest decline associated with the presence of humans since at least 4,600 yr BP. The currently degraded commons developed in the last 600 yr. To date, no findings of remains of ancient forests in the Central Tibetan Highlands of the Changtang have been reported.
