beta-delayed proton decays and spin assignments for Sm-133 and Yb-149

The proton-rich isotope Sm-133 was produced via the fusion evaporation reaction Ca-40 + Ru-96. Its beta-delayed proton decay was studied by p-gamma coincidence in combination with a He-jet tape transport system, and half-lives, proton energy spectra, gamma-transitions following the proton emission, as well as beta-delayed proton branching ratios to the low-lying states in the grand-daughter nucleus were determined. Comparing the observed beta-delayed proton branching ratios with statistical model calculations, the best agreement is found assuming that only one level with the spin of 3/2 in Sm-133 decays or two levels with the spins of 1/2 and 5/2 decay with similar half-lives. The configuration-constrained nuclear potential energy surfaces of Sm-133 were calculated using the Woods-Saxon-Strutinsky method, which suggests a 1/2-ground state and a 5/2(+) isomer with an excitation energy of 120 keV. Therefore, the simple(EC+beta(+)) decay scheme of Sm-133 in Eur. Phys. J.A 11,277(2001) has been revised. In addition, our previous experimental data on the beta-delayed proton decay of Yb-149 reported in Eur. Phys. J. A 12,1 ( 2 0 0 1) was also analyzed using the same method. The spin-parity of Yb-149 is suggested to be 1/2(-).

beta-delayed proton decays of Tb-140 and Dy-140 as well as the spin and parity of Dy-143

Tb-140 and Dy-141 were produced via fusion evaporation in the reaction Ca-40+Cd-106. Their beta-delayed proton decays were studied by means of "p-gamma" coincidence in combination with a He-jet tape transport system, including half-lives, proton energy spectra, gamma-transitions following the proton emissions, and the branching ratios to the low-lying states in the grand-daughter nuclei. The ground-state spins and parities of Tb-140 and Dy-141 were extracted as 7(+/-) and 9/2(+/-), respectively, by fitting the experimental data with a statistical model calculation. The configuration-constrained nuclear potential energy surfaces (NPES) of Tb-140 and Dy-141 were calculated by using the Woods-Saxon Strutinsky method, which indicate the ground-state spins and parities of Tb-140 and Dy-147 to be 7(+) and 9/2(-), respectively. In addition, the configuration-constrained NPES of Dy-143 was also calculated by using the same method. From the NPES a 1/2(+) ground state and a 11/2(-) isomer with the excitation energy of 198keV were found. The calculated results are consistent with our experimental data on the decay of Dy-143 reported in Eur. Phys. J., 2003, A16: 347-351.

缺中子核素133Sm、133Pr和93Pd的衰变

本硕士沦文籍助兰州重离子加速器国家实验室分离扇聚焦回旋加速器（SFC）提供的重离子束通过全融合蒸发反应产生远离口稳定线的缺中子核素，并用本课题组发展和建立的氦喷嘴快速带传输系统以及多重符合测量装置分离、测量核素来研究其衰变性质。在实验准备期间，曾采用~(252)Cf源进行了氦喷嘴（I－I eje咧央速带传输系统效率的测定。给出了PbI_2，PbCl_2，NaCl三种无机欲添加剂的传输效率，以及传输效率随目标核质量变化的初步结果。而后完成了以下两项物理实验：~(113)Sm的（EC＋β~+）衰变纲图和133Pr的同核异能态的研究：用SFC引出的~(40)Ca~(12+)束流轰击96%Ru的浓缩同位素靶，采用氦喷嘴带传输系统和x-γ与γ-γ符合测量方法，首次建议了~(133)Sm的简单的（EC＋β~+）衰变纲图并测得了其β衰变半衰期。~(133)Sm是目前发表过（EC＋β~+）衰变纲图的最轻的钐（Sm的缺中子核。由于Ru靶中含有~(98-102)Ru的成分，同时产生了~(133)Pr，并首次测定了~(133)Pr 11／2~－同核异能态的寿命为（l.1±0.2）s。为Pr奇A核11／2~-同核异能态的数据作了重要的补充，汇编成Pr奇A核的11／2一同核异能态和与之相关的3／2~＋，5／2~+和7／2~+能级的系统性数据。用单粒子模型理论拟合从中提取了~(131,133,135,137)Pr的11／2~-同核异能态的约化跃迁概率的实验值，并与Weisskopf近似估计进行了比较。2.~(93)Pd的β缓发质子衰变：通过~(58)Ni（~(40)Ca，3n2p）反应合成β缓发质了先驱核~(93)Pd，采用氦喷嘴带传输系统加p-γ符合观测到了它的β缓发质子衰李，测得其半衰期为1.3±0.2s。采用统计模型计算拟合了实验测得的口缓发质子能谱和布居到质子发射体子核不同终态的分支比，首次由实验数据出发初步指认了93Pd的基态自旋-宇称为9／2~±。同时与采用Woods-Saxon Strutinsky方法计算~(93)Pd的核位能面得到的结果进行了比较。计算结果支持对~(93)Pd基态自旋一宇称为9／2~+的实验指认。

17B的实验研究

核反应总截面是描述原子核反应基本特征的一个重要的物理量，从中可以得到有关核反应、核结构和核内核子分布的信息。利用透射法测量核的反应总截面对于模型没有依赖性，因而得到的结果更加可靠。在兰州放射性束流线（RIBLL）上利用透射法测量了17B与C、Pb靶的反应，得到了17B与C、Pb的反应总截面和去除双中子截面，同时首次尝试用CLOVER探测器测量与碎片符合的γ能谱。利用半经验的Shen公式可以很好地拟合稳定核的反应总截面的实验结果，但是并不能很好地描述17B的实验结果，说明17B具有奇异结构。采用描述不稳定核的多种密度分布形式代入零力程的Glauber模型计算17B与C的反应总截面，并与实验结果进行了比较。发现采用Skyrme－Hatree－Fock（SHF）、双Gauss、Gauss＋HO计算的密度分布形式都能够很好地拟合整个能区内的实验结果。通过各种密度分布形式提取了17B的核子密度分布，发现17B的中子密度分布有很大的弥散，并证实了17B是由核芯15B加两个价中子组成的晕结构。将Skyrme－Hatree－Fock（SHF）、双Gauss、Gauss＋HO密度分布形式，输入Glauber模型与实验结果比较，提取了17B的物质均方根半径，不同密度分布提取的均方根半径值在实验误差范围内一致，也进一步验证了17B的晕结构。采用Woods－Saxon势来描述17B核外的价中子在核芯中形成的势场，通过解薛定鄂方程来求解价中子处于特定轨道的波函数。假设17B核外的价中子处于纯的s分波和d分波都不能很好地和实验结果符合。所以认为核外的价中子应该是混合组态，通过拟合实验结果求解出s分波谱学因子的值，证明核外的价中子处在2s1/2轨道的几率更大

中子核和铅区核的结构研究

我们首先用Woods-Saxon势对一些丰中子核进行了系统的计算．计算表明在Woods-Saxon势中考虑一个对称能项，Woods-Saxon势就能够很好的描述丰中子核的密度分布，单粒子能级结构和中子质子的均方根半径．用Woods Saxon势的计算结果表明中子皮是丰中子远离β稳定线核的普遍现象。2S1/2轨道与1d 5/2轨道的交又和2s1d壳与1p壳的壳崩渍是中子晕形成的重要原因，也是中子晕与中子皮的一个重要区别．壳模型的计算能够很好的再现9《A《14和3《Z《5丰中子核的许多性质，这表明了，改进壳模型的有效相互作用，壳模型可能能够描述远离核的性质． 我们208Ti一类核和206Pb的一些性质进行了系统的壳模型计算．计算结果表明，K-H和SDI等有效相互作用对描述208Ti一类核和206Pb的高激发态仍然是有效的，计算结果也表明，如果208Hg可供利用的β衰变能比206Hg小，则可以预计208Hg的半寿命比206Hg要长.计算还证实了在反应209Bi（ρ，a )206Pb中激发的206Pb激发态结构，与205Tl低激发态结构相似，即这些态可以用h9/2轨道上的一个质子与205T1的低激发态的弱耦合来描述，此即所谓的对应的相似多重态的概念． 最后，我们对11Li等中子晕核的束缚机制提出了一种新的关联机制和讨论了用壳模型描述集体运动的方法．

子洲—清涧地区上古生界储层综合研究

The exploration and study in recent years shows that the upper Paleozoic in the east of Ordos Basin possesses major exploration potential, so it is necessary to have a comprehensive and synthetic research in this area. Following the guideline of T.A. Cross’s high resolution sequences stratigraphy and combined with sedimentology, the strata and sequence in the research area are divided and correlated. This paper emphasizes on the reservoir in this area and its major fruits are: Firstly, form the framework of the high sequence stratigraphy through mainly studying on the data of core, well drilling and field section combining. Then, think that the best reservoir formation mainly appears in the middle or lower part of long arising semi-cycle, and focus on A type and C1 middle sequence cycle that contributes to the development of formation. Next, think the sedimentary source mainly comes from the epimetamorphic crystalline basement in the north of the Ordoes Basin through analyzing depositional background, researching on sandstone petrography, distribution characteristics of the sedimentary system as well as researching on heavy mineral combination characteristics. Fourthly, give priority to Zizhou-Qingjian area for the first time and gain seven lithofacies paleography maps in the No.2 member of Shanxi and the No.8 member of Shihezi through using the method of isochronal lithofacies paleogeography mapping, then bring forth that Sh2 is mainly developed a type I sequence under the margin of ramp lake-basin background. Fifthly, through researching on the characteristics of reservoir petrography and diagenesis, think that all researched areas experienced compaction and cementation, and there is different types of rocks, only little of the primary pores that are made up of litharenite and lithoclastic quartz sandstone is left, while in lithoclastic quartz sandstone, there are still many primary pores Sixthly, through studying on pore types, microstructure, as well as physical property on the key formation, think that the researched area mostly appears typical low pore, low porosity and permeability, which mainly result from sedimentary and diagenesis. Lastly, through researching on classified evaluation in the key formation, productivity analysis, and combing with reservoir distribution, the researched area is divided into three parts, and think that exploration should be emphasized on formation I and II. The characteristics of sandstones distribution in Sh23 member, gas formation distribution and open flow capacity of exploitation well are all consistent properly with the results of reservoir comprehensive evaluation in this thesis proved by the gas production development in 2006.

Konwencja dotycząca statusu uchodźców a praktyka turecka. Problem przybyszów zza wschodniej granicy

Celem publikacji jest podjęcie próby przeanalizowania polityki, jaką Turcja prowadzi wobec obcokrajowców poszukujących schronienia na jej terytorium. O ważkości zagadnienia zadecydowała w ostatnich latach przede wszystkim tocząca się w Syrii wojna domowa, w wyniku której na terytorium Turcji znalazło się ponad 700 tysięcy Syryjczyków. Szczególne w tym kontekście kontrowersje budzi fakt stosowania przez Turcję podwójnych standardów w przedmiocie nadawania imigrantom konwencyjnego statusu uchodźcy. Państwo to, jako jedno z czterech na świecie, w momencie przystępowania do Konwencji dotyczącej statusu uchodźców i Protokołu nowojorskiego zastrzegło sobie prawo do stosowania w tej materii tzw. kryterium geograficznego. W efekcie, o ile status uchodźcy nadany być może osobom przybywającym zza zachodnich granic Turcji, o tyle uciekinierzy z państw takich, jak Syria, Iran, czy Irak z formalnego punktu widzenia są „poszukującymi schronienia” (tur. sığınmacı). To zaś oznacza brak ich konwencyjnej ochrony. Celem artykułu jest jednak nie tylko przeanalizowanie prawnego i rzeczywistego położenia, w jakim znajdują się ofiary syryjskiej wojny domowej, przybywające na terytorium Turcji, a także próba przewidzenia scenariusza rozwoju tejże sytuacji. Celem uczynienia analizy możliwie najbardziej rzetelną, odwołano się zarówno do anglo, jak i tureckojęzycznych materiałów źródłowych.

Edmund Burke and the heritage of oral culture

The dissertation proposes that one of the more fruitful ways of interpreting Burke's work is to evaluate him as an oral performer rather than a literary practitioner and it argues that in his voice can be heard the modulations of the genres and conventions of oral composition of eighteenth-century Gaelic Ireland. The first chapter situates Burke in the milieu of the Gaelic landed class of eighteenth-century Ireland. The next chapter examines how the rich oral culture of the Munster Gaelic gentry, where Burke spent his childhood days, was to provide a lasting influence on the form and content of Burke's work. His speeches on the British constitution are read in the context of the historical and literary culture of the Jacobites, specifically the speculum principis, Párliament na mBán. The third chapter surveys the tradition of Anglo-Irish theoretical writings on oratory and discusses how Burke is aligned with this school. The focus is on how Burke's thought and practice, his 'idioms', might be understood as being mediated through the criterion of orality rather than literature. The remaining chapters discuss Burke's politics and performance in the light of Gaelic cultural practices such as the rituals of the courts of poetry, the Warrant Poems or Barántas; the performance of funeral laments and elegies, Caoineadh, the laments for the fallen nobility, Marbhna na daoine uaisle, the satires and the political vision allegories of Munster, Aislingí na Mumhan; to show how they provide us with a remarkable context for discussing Burke's poetical-political performance. In hearing Burke's voice through the body of Gaelic culture our understanding of Burke's position in the wider world of the eighteenth century (and hence his meaning) is profoundly affected.
