Relativistic Continuum Random Phase Approximation and Applications II. Applications

The fully consistent relativistic continuum random phase approximation (RCRPA) has been constructed in the momentum representation in the first part of this paper. In this part we describe the numerical details for solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation. The numerical results are checked by the inverse energy weighted sum rules in the isoscalar giant monopole resonance, which are obtained from the constraint relativistic mean field theory and also calculated with the integration of the RCRPA strengths. Good agreement between the misachieved. We study the effects of the self-consistency violation, particularly the currents and Coulomb interaction to various collective multipole excitations. Using the fully consistent RCRPA method, we investigate the properties of isoscalar and isovector collective multipole excitations for some stable and exotic from light to heavy nuclei. The properties of the resonances, such as the centroid energies and strength distributions are compared with the experimental data as well as with results calculated in other models.

MEASUREMENT OF TWO-PROTON CORRELATION FROM THE BREAK-UP OF Al-23

Experiments of Al-23 and Mg-22 radioactive beams bombarding a C-12 target at an energy of 60 similar to 70 A MeV have been performed at the projectile fragment separator beamline (RIPS) in the RIKEN Ring Cyclotron Facility to study the two-proton emission from Al-23 and Mg-22 excited states, respectively. The trajectorie of the decay products, namely Na-21 + p + p from Al-23 and Ne-20 + p + p from Mg-22, are clean identified. The relative momentum and opening angle between two protons in the rest frame of three body decay channels are obtained by relativistic-kinematics reconstruction. The results demonstrate that there are some di-proton emission components from He-2 cluster for the excited Al-23 and Mg-22.

中能核反应中的统计发射过程及核温度参量

在过去的几年里，利用兰州重离子加速器（HIRFL）提供的束流，以及在OUVERTURE合作研究中，利用意大利国家核物理研究院南方实验室（INFN-LNS）超导回旋提供的束流，进行了多次中能区重离子核反应实验研究工作。如，最初的46.7MeV/u ~(12)C+~(58)Ni，~(115)In，~(197)Au的实验及30MeV/u ~(40)Ar+~(58)Ni，~(64)Ni~(115)In和30MeV/u Ni轰击Ni，Au，Al在MULTICS+MEDEA：4π装置上进行的实验工作。此外，本人还从事过一些理论研究工作，包括多粒子散射形式理论和相关数学物理问题研究，量子分子动力学和量子统计模型计算。本文是从事这些核物理研究工作的积累，主要侧重于实验结果的物理内容分析，而不强调实验技术，数据处理的技巧。主要的物理内容有以下几个方面：1.对于利用双同位素产额比提取同位素核温度的方法进行研究推广，使得对于实验中碰到的仅有部分能谱可以实现很好同位素分辩的情况，即使不能得到总的同位素产额，仅仅通过一段能区的同位素产额也可提取核温度。用于具体的实验研究工作中后，对于46.7MeV/u ~(12)C+~(58)Ni，~(115)In，~(197)Au核反应过程，同一体系利用这种方法得到的同位素核温度和利用粒子非稳态布居提取的核温度一致。2.围绕核反应过程中核温度的参量的提取，对于双同位素产额比与核温度的刻度关系进行了分析研究，通过计算考虑中等质量碎片（IMF）内部激发能后的内部配分函数表明，中等质量碎片的内部激发对刻度关系有重要影响。零阶近似下区域密度近似的结果和Gemini模拟计算的结果反映了相同的情况。3.研究核反应机制，多个粒子散射的形式理论的必需的，对于两体散射，其形式理论已经比较成熟，但是对于多个粒子散射问题出现的严重的困难是多体Lippmann-Schwinger方程无唯一收敛的解。作为一种探索性的研究工作，开展了多体散射理论研究工作，发展了一些具有普遍意义的数学物理方法。在本项研究工作中，通过能基础数学中的约当引理的推广，发现一个特例：对非连接图，Lippmann-Schwingwer方程存在收敛的解，因此多体散射形式理论，有可能重新建立。由于核力和多体问题是当今核物理研究的两大难点，世界各国的科学家都在努力以图攻克它们，而且多体问题还是物理学的其它许多领域的难题，因而多体散射还是引起诸多研究学科广泛兴趣的课题。通过发展一些新的数学理论和方法，我们已得到一些有意义的结果。4.将量子分子动力学这种中高能量区域所用的理论分析方法扩展至较低能区，通过对相空间中初始位置和动量抽样增加限制条件。如结合能和实验值要求一致，平均核势，核内Pauli阻塞更强一些，在演化中能量和动量守恒等等。得到一个很稳定的初始基态。均方半径保持不弥散的时间可达1600fm/c，用于研究10.6MeV/u Ne~(20)+Al~(27)的实验分析过程中。另外，量子统计模型（QSM）主要描述中心核-核碰撞，将它和碎裂模型结合，作一些改进后，可以对核-核碰撞进行统一描述。5.在中能核反应研究中发现，核反应过程中有大量的中子，轻带电粒子以及中等质量碎片发射出来，可以将这些粒子发射机制大致分为两大类。其中一类可以归结为动力学发射过程的产物。另一类则可以归于统计发射的产物。在低能核反应中，其发射能谱的斜率的负倒数，可作为复合核的核温度。而在中能重离子核反应中，其发射能谱变得很复杂，不再具有Maxwell分布。通常的三源拟合所给出的温度参数，已不能反映物理实质。提出多阶矩分析方法用于分析中能核反应中统计发射规律及受动力学过程的影响。

10～100 MeV/u能区重离子反应机制的研究

把QMD模型扩展至10～100MeV/A能区，研究了该能区的重离子碰撞，并仔细检验了初始核在基态时传播的稳定性条件。~(40)Ca+~(40)Ca系统，在10 ～ 100MeV/A能区范围内研究了重离子反应机制随入射能量及碰撞参数的演化情况。我们发现，反应机制随能量的变化并不是突然的跃迁，而是一个连续的变化过程，不同的反应机制可以同时存在并发生竞争。在中心碰撞时，反应机制从全融合发展至非全融合，最后演化至碎裂机制。在周连碰撞时，随着入射能量的增加，根据我们提出的关于深部非弹碰撞和参加者－旁观者质量分布的判据，反应机制的可能变化趋势为从非完全融合或深部非弹碰撞到参加者－旁观者，最后发展至碎裂反应。我们知道，目前还没有人用QMD模型来研究过渡能区DIC机制的基本特征，我们还对~(20)(25Mev/A)+~(20)Ne系统周边碰撞时DIC机制的基本特征作了研究，计算结果表明：在中能区，DIC机制仍然存在，同时，在质量分布、旋转效应及能量损失方面具有低能时相同的特征，但与低能DIC的明显差别在于，出射的中间质量碎片已成为质量分布的主要部分，出射的轻粒子数目也相对增多。当碰撞参数小于7fm时，这里存在着不同反应机制的共存及竞争。根据质量分布随时间的演化情况，我们发现，中间质量碎片主要是由动力学过程中平均场涨落引起的动力学不稳定性造成的，统计衰变也贡献较小的一部分。由粗糙估计可以看出，25MeV/A时~(20)Ne+~(20)Ne系统的DIC机制仍然是一个趋向于平衡过程。相又于低能区，中能区的周边碰撞显得相当复杂

电子反常供需型Diels-Alder反应(inverse electron demabd Diels-Alder reaction,IDA)因其在天然生物碱及类似物合成中的应用,在近20年来已经逐渐引起关注[1].含氮芳杂环体系1,2,4-三嗪由于其特有的缺电子特征,作为双烯体非常适于进行这类反应[2].本文利用IDA反应从3-吡啶基-5,6-二取代-1,2,4-三嗪出发,设计出一条简捷、低成本的合成路线,成功地合成出不对称取代的2,3′-联吡啶和2,4′-联吡啶.这一类化合物已被应用于药物中间体或有机配体.

Helium, neon and argon isotope compositions of fluid inclusions in massive sulfides from the Jade hydrothermal field, the Oldnawa Trough

Helium, neon and argon isotope compositions of fluid inclusions have been measured in massive sulfide samples from the Jade hydrothermal field in the central Okinawa Trough. Fluid-inclusion He-3/He-4 ratios are between 6.2 and 10.1 times the air value (Ra), and with a mean of 7.8Ra, which are consistent with the mid-ocean ridge basalt values [He-3/He-4 approximate to (6Rasimilar to 11Ra)]. Values for Ne-20/Ne-22 are from 10.7 to 11.3, which are significantly higher than the atmospheric ratio (9.8). And the fluid-inclusion Ar-40/Ar-36 ratios range from 287 to 334, which are close to the atmosperic values (295.5). These results indicate that the noble gases of trapped hydrothermal fluids in massive sulfides are a mixture of mantle- and seawater-derived components, and the helium of fluid inclusions is mainly from mantle, the nelium and argon isotope compositions are mainly from seawater.

Geochemical and isotopic characteristics of volcanic rocks from the northern East China Sea shelf margin and the Okinawa Trough

Volcanic rocks both from the northern East China Sea (NECS) shelf margin and the northern Okinawa Trough are subalkaline less aluminous, and lower in High Field Strength Elements (HFSE). These rocks are higher in Large Ion Lithophile Elements (LILE), thorium and uranium contents, positive lead anomalies, negative Nb-Ta anomalies, and enrichment in Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE). Basalts from the NECS shelf margin are akin to Indian Ocean Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt (MORB), and rhyolites from the northern Okinawa Trough have the highest Pb-207/Pb-208 and Pb-208/Pb-204 ratios. The NECS shelf margin basalts have lower Sr-87/Sr-86 ratios, epsilon(Nd) and sigma O-18 than the northern Okinawa Trough silicic rocks. According to K-40-Ar-40 isotopic ages of basalts from the NECS shelf margin, rifting of the Okinawa Trough may have been active since at least 3.65-3.86 Ma. The origin of the NECS shelf margin basalt can be explained by the interaction of melt derived from Indian Ocean MORB-like mantle with enriched subcontinental lithosphere. The basalts from both sides of the Okinawa Trough may have a similar origin during the initial rifting of the Okinawa Trough, and the formation of basaltic magmas closely relates to the thinning of continental crust. The source of the formation of the northern Okinawa Trough silicic rocks was different from that of the middle Okinawa Trough, which could have been generated by the interaction of basaltic melt with an enriched crustal component. From the Ryukyu island arc to East China, the Cenozoic basalts have apparently increasing trends of MgO contents and ratios of LREE to Heavy Rare Earth Elements (HREE), suggesting that the trace element variabilities of basalts may have been influenced by the subduction of the Philippine Sea plate, and that the effects of subduction of the Philippine Sea plate on the chemical composition of basaltic melts have had a decreasing effect from the Ryukyu island arc to East China.

Rapid magmatic processes accompany arc-continent collision: the Western Bismarck arc, Papua New Guinea

New U-Th-Ra, major and trace element, and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope data are presented for young lavas from the New Britain and Western Bismarck arcs in Papua New Guinea. New Britain is an oceanic arc, whereas the latter is the site of an arc-continent collision. Building on a recent study of the Manus Basin, contrasts between the two arcs are used to evaluate the processes and timescales of magma generation accompanying arc-continent collision and possible slab detachment. All three suites share many attributes characteristic of arc lavas that can be ascribed to the addition of a regionally uniform subduction component derived from the subducting altered oceanic crust and sediment followed by dynamic melting of the modified mantle. However, the Western Bismarck arc lavas diverge from the Pb isotope mixing array formed by the New Britain and the Manus Basin lavas toward elevated Pb-208/Pb-204. We interpret this to reflect a second and subsequent addition of sediment melt at crustal depth during collision. U-238 and Ra-226 excesses are preserved in all of the lavas and are greatest in the Western Bismarck arc. High-Mg andesites with high Sr/Y ratios in the westernmost arc are attributed to recent shallow mantle flux melting at the slab edge. Data for two historical rhyolites are also presented. Although these rhyolites formed in quite different tectonic settings and display different geochemical and isotopic compositions, both formed from mafic parents within millennia.

Gas-solid reactions of single crystals: a study of reactions of NH3 and NO2 with single crystalline organic substrates by infrared microspectroscopy

Reaction of single crystals of benzoic and trans-cinnamic acids with 200 Torr pressure of ammonia gas in a sealed glass bulb at 20 degrees C generates the corresponding ammonium salts; there is no sign of any 1:2 adduct as has been reported previously for related systems. Isotopic substitution using ND3 has been used to aid identification of the products. Adipic acid likewise reacts with NH3 gas to form a product in which ammonium salts are formed at both carboxylic acid groups. Reaction of 0.5 Torr pressure of NO2 gas with single crystals of 9-methylanthracene and 9-anthracenemethanol in a flow system generates nitrated products where the nitro group appears to be attached at the 10-position, i.e. the position trans to the methyl or methoxy substituent on the central ring. Isotopic substitution using (NO2)-N-15 has been used to confirm the identity of the bands arising from the coordinated NO2 group. The products formed when single crystals of hydantoin are reacted with NO2 gas under similar conditions depend on the temperature of the reaction. At 20 degrees C, a nitrated product is formed, but at 65 degrees C this gives way to a product containing no nitro groups. The findings show the general applicability of infrared microspectroscopy to a study of gas-solid reactions of organic single crystals. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Isotopic evidence for the late Brasiliano (500-550 Ma) ore-forming mineralization of the Araes gold deposit, Brazil

The Araes gold deposit, located in eastern Mato Grosso State, central Brazil, is hosted in Neoproterozoic volcanosedimentary rocks of the Paraguay belt, which formed during collision of the Amazonian craton and the Rio Apa block. Ar-40/Ar-39 geochronology and Pb and S isotopic analyses constrain the timing and sources of mineralization. Three biotite flakes from two samples of metavolcanic host rock yield Ar-40/Ar-39 plateau ages between 5941 and 531 Ma, interpreted as cooling ages following regional metamorphism. Clay minerals from a hydrothermal alteration zone yield an Ar-40/Ar-39 integrated age of 503 +/- 3 Ma. Galena grains from ore-bearing veins yield values of Pb-206/(204)pb from 17.952 to 18.383, Pb-207/Pb-204 from 15.156 to 15.811, and Pb-208/Pb-204 from 38.072 to 39.681. Pyrite grains from ore-bearing veins yield values of Pb-206/Pb-204 from 18.037 to 18.202, Pb-207/Pb-204 from 15.744 to 15.901., and Pb-208/(204)pb from 38.338 to 38.800. Pb isotope variations may be explained in terms of mixing a less radiogenic lead component (mu similar to 8.4) from mafic and ultramafic basement host-rocks (Nova Xavantina metavolcanosedimentary rocks) and a more radiogenic lead component (mu similar to 9.2) probably derived from supracrustal rocks (Cuiaba sedimentary groups). Sulfur isotope compositions are homogeneous, with delta S-34 values ranging from -1.1 parts per thousand to 0.9 parts per thousand (galena) and -0.7 parts per thousand to 0.9 parts per thousand (pyrite), suggesting a mantle-derived reservoir for the mineralizing solutions. Based on the Ar, Pb, and S isotope data, we suggest that the precious metals were remobilized from metavolcanic host rocks by hydrothermal solutions during Brasilide-Panafrican regional metamorphism. The Arabs gold deposit probably formed during a late stage of the orogeny, coeval with other mineralization events in the Paraguay Belt.

Estudo da incorporação de resíduo industrial polimérico ao CAP

This work presents the incorporation of an industrial polymeric waste into a petroleum asphalt cement with penetration grade 50-60 (CAP 50-60). The main goal of this research is the development of a polymer-modified asphalt, with improvements in its physical properties, in order to obtain a more resistant material to the traffic loads. Furthermore, the use of this polymeric waste will result in economic and environmental benefits. The CAP 50-60 used in this research was kindly supplied by LUBNOR Lubrificantes e Derivados de Petróleo do Nordeste (produced in Fazenda Belém Aracati - Ceará) and the industrial polymeric waste was provided by a button manufacturer industry, located in Rio Grande do Norte state. This polymeric waste represents an environmental problem due to its difficulty in recycling and disposal, being necessary the payment by the industry to a landfill. The difficulty in its reuse is for being this material a termofixed polymer, as a result, the button chips resulting from the molding process cannot be employed for the same purpose. The first step in this research was the characterization of the polymeric waste, using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) Infrared spectroscopy (IR spectroscopy), and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Based on the results, the material was classified as unsaturated polyester. After, laboratory experiments were accomplished seeking to incorporate the polymeric waste into the asphalt binder according to a 23 experimental factorial design, using as main factors: the polymer content (2%, 7% and 14%), the temperature of the mixture (140 and 180 oC) and the reaction time (20 and 60 minutes). The characterization of the polymer-modified asphalt was accomplished by traditional tests, such as: penetration, ring and ball softening point, viscosity, ductility and flash point temperature. The obtained results demonstrated that the addition of the polymeric waste into the asphalt binder modified some of its physical properties. However, this addition can be considered as a feasible alternative for the use of the polymeric waste, which is a serious environmental and technological problem.

Rho-nucleon tensor coupling and charge-exchange resonances

The Gamow-Teller resonance in Pb-208 is discussed in the context of a self-consistent RPA, based on the relativistic mean field theory. We inquire on the possibility of substituting the phenomenological Landau-Migdal force by a microscopic nucleon-nucleon interaction, generated from the rho-nucleon tensor coupling. The effect of this coupling turns out to be very small when the short range correlations are not taken into account, but too large when these correlations are simulated by the simple extraction of the contact terms from the resulting nucleon-nucleon interaction.
