Neutron capture measurement of the 165Ho at the CSNS Backn facility in the resonance energy region

The neutron capture yield of 165Ho have been measured at the Back-streaming White neutron beam line (Back-n) of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) using a 4π BaF2 Gamma Total Absorption Facility (GTAF). The resonance shapes in the 1eV to 1.0keV region were analyzed with the Bayesian R-matrix code SAMMY. For 18 s-wave resonances below 100eV, the resonance energy ER, neutron width Γn, and radiative width Γγ were extracted. The statistical analyses of the resonance parameters show that the nearest-neighbour level-spacing distribution follows a Wigner-Dyson form with mean spacing D0 = 4.53(3)eV,indicating chaotic compound-nucleus behaviour; Using the extracted parameters, the s-wave neutron strength function for 165Ho was derived to be 10-4S0 = 2.01(1), in excellent agreement with the values reported in both the Atlas of Neutron Resonances and ENDF/B-VIII.0 data.

Investigation of the near-threshold cluster resonance in $^{14}\rm{C}$

An experiment for $p(^{14}\rm{C}$,$^{14}\rm{C}^{*}\rightarrow^{10}\rm{Be}+α)\mathit{p}$ inelastic excitation and decay was performed in inverse kinematics at a beam energy of 25.3 MeV/u. A series of $^{14}\rm{C}$ excited states, including a new one at 18.3(1) MeV, were observed which decay to various states of the final nucleus of $^{10}\rm{Be}$. A specially designed telescope-system, installed around the zero degree, played an essential role in detecting the resonant states near the $α$-separation threshold. A state at 14.1(1) MeV is clearly identified, being consistent with the predicted band-head of the molecular rotational band characterized by the $π$-bond linear-chain-configuration. Further clarification of the properties of this exotic state is suggested by using appropriate reaction tools.

The influence of experimental setup on the spectroscopy investigation of $^{\mathrm{14}}$Be by Coulomb breakup reaction

The two-body core+$2n$ cluster structure was implemented to describe the two-neutron halo nucleus $^{\mathrm{14}}\mathrm{Be}$, where the core$^{\mathrm{12}}\mathrm{Be}$ was assumed inert and at ground state and the dineutron was assumed at pure $2S_0$ state. Based on such a structure the three-body continuum-discretized coupled-channel (CDCC) calculation was successfully used to deal with the $^{\mathrm{14}}\mathrm{Be}$ breakup reactions of $^{\mathrm{14}}\mathrm{Be}+^{\mathrm{12}}\mathrm{C}$ at 68~MeV/nucleon and $^{\mathrm{14}}\mathrm{Be}+ $Pb at 35~MeV/nucleon.Consequently, we modeled the kinematically complete measurement experiment of $^{\mathrm{14}}\mathrm{Be}$ (35~MeV/nucleon) Coulomb breakup at a lead target with the help of Geant4. From the simulation data the relative energy spectrum was constructed by the invariant mass method and $B(E1)$ spectrum was extracted using virtual photon model. The influence of the target thickness and detector performance on the spectroscopy was investigated.
