Nuclear astrophysics with radioactive ions at FAIR
- 2016

In: Journal of Physics: Conference Series. - : IOP Publishing. - 1742-6588 .- 1742-6596. ; 665:1
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The nucleosynthesis of elements beyond iron is dominated by neutron captures in the s and r processes. However, 32 stable, proton-rich isotopes cannot be formed during those processes, because they are shielded from the s-process flow and r-process beta-decay chains. These nuclei are attributed to the p and rp process. For all those processes, current research in nuclear astrophysics addresses the need for more precise reaction data involving radioactive isotopes. Depending on the particular reaction, direct or inverse kinematics, forward or time-reversed direction are investigated to determine or at least to constrain the desired reaction cross sections. The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) will offer unique, unprecedented opportunities to investigate many of the important reactions. The high yield of radioactive isotopes, even far away from the valley of stability, allows the investigation of isotopes involved in processes as exotic as the r or rp processes.

- 2019
-
In: Physics-Uspekhi. - 1468-4780 .- 1063-7869. ; 62:7, s. 675-690

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Studies of radioactive ions (RIs) are the most thriving field of low-energy nuclear physics. In this paper, the concept and the scientific agenda of the prospective accelerator and storage ring facility for RI beam (RIB) research are proposed for a large-scale international project based at the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. The motivation for the new facility is discussed and its characteristics are briefly presented and shown to be comparable to those of advanced world centers, the so-called "RIB factories". In the project, the emphasis is made on studies with short-lived RIBs in storage rings. A unique feature of the project is the possibility of studying electron-RI interactions in a collider experiment to determine the fundamental properties of nuclear matter, in particular, electromagnetic form factors of exotic nuclei.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The new facility fragment separator ACCULINNA-2 will be put into operation at the beginning of 2015 in FLNR JINR. The new separator is destined to add considerably to the studies of drip-line nuclei performed with the use of variety of direct reactions known to be distinctive to the 15 - 50 MeV/amu exotic secondary RIBs. Intense beams provided by the U-400M cyclotron will ensure the achievement of this objective. In addition to the RIB separation accomplished by means of the dipole-wedge-dipole selection, the addition of a zero-degree dipole magnet setup is foreseen. A long (13 m) straight section will provide precise time-of-flight measurements. © Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2014.

Recent results related to excited states of 6Be and 10He

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The 1H(6Li,6Be)n charge-exchange reaction and the 3H(8He, p)10He two-neutron transfer reaction were recently carried out at the ACCULINNA fragment separator (FLNR, Dubna) to populate the ground and excited states of 6Be and 10He nuclei, respectively. The 6Be ET spectrum (ET is the 6Be energy above its 4He+p+p decay threshold) was obtained with high statistics and described by the well-known 0+ ground state of 6Be at ET = 1.37 MeV, the 2+ state at ET = 3.05 MeV and a broad structure extending from 4 to 16 MeV which could be interpreted as the isovector soft dipole mode associated with the 6Li ground state. In the 10He case the 0+ ground state was found at about 2.1(2) MeV (T ∼ 2 MeV) above the 8He+n+n breakup threshold. Angular correlations observed for 10He decay products show prominent interference patterns allowing to draw conclusions about the structure of low-energy excited states: 1- (E T ∼ 5 MeV) and 2+ (ET > 6 MeV).

Evidence for the First Excited State of H 7
- 2020

In: Physical Review Letters. - 1079-7114 .- 0031-9007. ; 124:2

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The H7 system was populated in the H2(He8,He3)H7 reaction with a 26 AMeV He8 beam. The H7 missing mass energy spectrum, the H3 energy and angular distributions in the H7 decay frame were reconstructed. The H7 missing mass spectrum shows a peak, which can be interpreted either as unresolved 5/2+ and 3/2+ doublet or one of these states at 6.5(5) MeV. The data also provide indications of the 1/2+ ground state of H7 located at 1.8(5) MeV with quite a low population cross section of ∼25 μb/sr within angular range θc.m.≃(17°-27°).

In: Proceedings of Science. - Proceedings of Science : Sissa. - 1824-8039.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- By the Coulomb breakup of 17Ne, the time-reversed reaction 15O(2p,γ)17Ne has been studied. This reaction might play an important role in the rp process, as a break-out reaction of the hot CNO cycle. The secondary 17Ne ion beam with an energy of 500 MeV/nucleon has been dissociated in a Pb target. The reaction products have been detected with the LAND-R3B experimental setup at GSI. The preliminary differential and integral Coulomb dissociation cross section sCoul has been determined, which then will be converted into a photo-absorption cross section sphoto, and a two-proton radiative capture cross section σcap. Additionally, information about the structure of the 17Ne, a potential two-proton halo nucleus, will be received. The analysis is in progress. © Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence.

Resonant states in H 7: Experimental studies of the H 2 (He 8, He 3) reaction

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The extremely neutron-rich system H7 was studied in the direct H2(He8,He3)H7 transfer reaction with a 26 AMeV secondary He8 beam [Bezbakh et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 022502 (2020)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.124.022502]. The missing mass spectrum and center-of-mass angular distributions of H7, as well as the momentum distribution of the H3 fragment in the H7 frame, were constructed. In addition, we carried out another experiment with the same beam but a modified setup, which was cross-checked by the study of the H2(Be10,He3)Li9 reaction. A solid experimental evidence is provided that two resonant states of H7 are located in its spectrum at 2.2(5) and 5.5(3)MeV relative to the H3+4n decay threshold. Also, there are indications that the resonant states at 7.5(3) and 11.0(3)MeV are present in the measured H7 spectrum. Based on the energy and angular distributions, obtained for the studied H2(He8,He3)H7 reaction, the weakly populated 2.2(5)-MeV peak is ascribed to the H7 ground state. It is highly plausible that the firmly ascertained 5.5(3)-MeV state is the 5/2+ member of the H7 excitation 5/2+-3/2+ doublet, built on the 2+ configuration of valence neutrons. The supposed 7.5-MeV state can be another member of this doublet, which could not be resolved in Bezbakh et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 022502 (2020)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.124.022502]. Consequently, the two doublet members appeared in the spectrum of H7 in the work mentioned above as a single broad 6.5-MeV peak.

H 6 states studied in the H 2 (He 8, He 4) reaction and evidence of an extremely correlated character of the H 5 ground state

In: Physical Review C. - 2469-9993 .- 2469-9985. ; 105:6
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The extremely neutron-rich system H6 was studied in the direct H2(He8,He4)H6 transfer reaction with a 26A MeV secondary He8 beam. The measured missing mass spectrum shows a broad bump at ≈4-8 MeV above the H3+3n decay threshold. This bump can be interpreted as a broad resonant state in H6 at 6.8(5) MeV. The population cross section of such a presumably p-wave state (or it may be few overlapping states) in the energy range from 4 to 8 MeV is dσ/dωc.m.≃190-80+40μb/sr in the angular range 5°<θc.m.<16°. The obtained missing mass spectrum is practically free of H6 events below 3.5 MeV (dσ/dωc.m. 5μb/sr in the same angular range). The steep rise of the H6 missing mass spectrum at ≈3 MeV allows us to derive the lower limit for the possible resonant-state energy in H6 to be 4.5(3) MeV. According to the paring energy estimates, such a 4.5(3) MeV resonance is a realistic candidate for the H6 ground state (g.s.). The obtained results confirm that the decay mechanism of the H7 g.s. (located at 2.2 MeV above the H3+4n threshold) is the "true"(or simultaneous) 4n emission. The resonance energy profiles and the momentum distributions of fragments of the sequential H6→H5(g.s.)+n→H3+3n decay were analyzed by the theoretically updated direct four-body-decay and sequential-emission mechanisms. The measured momentum distributions of the H3 fragments in the H6 rest frame indicate very strong "dineutron-type"correlations in the H5 ground state decay.

- The extremely neutron-rich systems 7H, 6H were studied in the 2H(8He, 3He)7H and 2H(8He, 4He)6H proton and deuteron pickup reactions with a 26 AMeV secondary 8He beam produced at the new ACCULINNA-2 fragment separator. In addition, the same proton and deuteron pickup reactions were generated using the 42 AMeV 10Be beam, and the population of low-lying 9Li and 8Li states was measured in reactions 2H(10Be,3He)9Li and 2H(10Be,4He)8Li, respectively. The latter were used as reference measurements in order to check the setup calibration over the excitation energy of 7,6H and to determine the real experimental energy resolution which was compared with Monte Carlo calculations. The corresponding results obtained for the superheavy hydrogen systems 7H, 6H are presented and discussed. Typical excitation spectra of the 9Li and 8Li nuclei are also shown.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A program for upgrade of existing radioactive ion beams facilities at Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, JINR Dubna is presented. A project of a new in-flight fragment separator ACCULINNA-2 is proposed. It is expected the new instrument will be more universal and powerful than the existing nowadays. The beam intensity should be increased by factor 10-15, its optical quality greatly improved and the range of the accessible secondary radioactive beams broadened up to Z∼20. Main ion-optical characteristics, operating principles and a tentative plan for the project realization are included. An extensive research program based on local experiments made so far and international proposals for these equipments is discussed.

Three-body correlations in direct reactions: Example of Be 6 populated in the (p,n) reaction
- 2018

In: Physical Review C. - 2469-9993 .- 2469-9985. ; 98:5
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Be6 continuum states were populated in the charge-exchange reaction H1(Li6,Be6)n collecting very high statistics data (∼5×106 events) on the three-body α+p+p correlations. The Be6 excitation energy region below ∼3MeV is considered, where the data are dominated by contributions from the 0+ and 2+ states. It is demonstrated how the high-statistics few-body correlation data can be used to extract detailed information on the reaction mechanism. Such a derivation is based on the fact that highly spin-aligned states are typically populated in the direct reactions.

Currents and associated electron scattering and bouncing near the diffusion region at Earth's magnetopause
- 2016
-
In: Geophysical Research Letters. - 0094-8276 .- 1944-8007. ; 43:7, s. 3042-3050
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Based on high-resolution measurements from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, we present the dynamics of electrons associated with current systems observed near the diffusion region of magnetic reconnection at Earth's magnetopause. Using pitch angle distributions (PAD) and magnetic curvature analysis, we demonstrate the occurrence of electron scattering in the curved magnetic field of the diffusion region down to energies of 20 eV. We show that scattering occurs closer to the current sheet as the electron energy decreases. The scattering of inflowing electrons, associated with field-aligned electrostatic potentials and Hall currents, produces a new population of scattered electrons with broader PAD which bounce back and forth in the exhaust. Except at the center of the diffusion region the two populations are collocated and appear to behave adiabatically: the inflowing electron PAD focuses inward (toward lower magnetic field), while the bouncing population PAD gradually peaks at 90 degrees away from the center (where it mirrors owing to higher magnetic field and probable field-aligned potentials).

Giant optical anisotropy in transition metal dichalcogenides for next-generation photonics
- 2021
-
In: Nature Communications. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2041-1723 .- 2041-1723. ; 12:1
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Large optical anisotropy observed in a broad spectral range is of paramount importance for efficient light manipulation in countless devices. Although a giant anisotropy has been recently observed in the mid-infrared wavelength range, for visible and near-infrared spectral intervals, the problem remains acute with the highest reported birefringence values of 0.8 in BaTiS3 and h-BN crystals. This issue inspired an intensive search for giant optical anisotropy among natural and artificial materials. Here, we demonstrate that layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) provide an answer to this quest owing to their fundamental differences between intralayer strong covalent bonding and weak interlayer van der Waals interaction. To do this, we made correlative far- and near-field characterizations validated by first-principle calculations that reveal a huge birefringence of 1.5 in the infrared and 3 in the visible light for MoS2. Our findings demonstrate that this remarkable anisotropy allows for tackling the diffraction limit enabling an avenue for on-chip next-generation photonics. Optical anisotropy in a broad spectral range is pivotal to efficient light manipulation. Here, the authors measure a birefringence of 1.5 in the infrared range and 3 in the visible light for MoS2.

Four-Spacecraft Measurements of the Shape and Dimensionality of Magnetic Structures in the Near-Earth Plasma Environment
- 2019
-
In: Journal of Geophysical Research - Space Physics. - 2169-9380 .- 2169-9402. ; 124:8, s. 6850-6868
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present a new method for determining the main relevant features of the local magnetic field configuration, based entirely on the knowledge of the magnetic field gradient four‐spacecraft measurements. The method, named “magnetic configuration analysis” (MCA), estimates the spatial scales on which the magnetic field varies locally. While it directly derives from the well‐known magnetic directional derivative and magnetic rotational analysis procedures (Shi et al., 2005, htpps://doi.org/10.1029/2005GL022454; Shen et al., 2007, https://doi.org/10.1029/2005JA011584), MCA was specifically designed to address the actual magnetic field geometry. By applying MCA to multispacecraft data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) satellites, we perform both case and statistical analyses of local magnetic field shape and dimensionality at very high cadence and small scales. We apply this technique to different near‐Earth environments and define a classification scheme for the type of configuration observed. While our case studies allow us to benchmark the method with those used in past works, our statistical analysis unveils the typical shape of magnetic configurations and their statistical distributions. We show that small‐scale magnetic configurations are generally elongated, displaying forms of cigar and blade shapes, but occasionally being planar in shape like thin pancakes (mostly inside current sheets). Magnetic configurations, however, rarely show isotropy in their magnetic variance. The planar nature of magnetic configurations and, most importantly, their scale lengths strongly depend on the plasma β parameter. Finally, the most invariant direction is statistically aligned with the electric current, reminiscent of the importance of electromagnetic forces in shaping the local magnetic configuration.

Experimental study of the 15O(2p ,γ)17Ne cross section by Coulomb Dissociation for the rp process
- 2016

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The time-reversed reaction 15O(2p,γ)17Ne has been studied by the Coulomb dissociation technique. Secondary 17Ne ion beams at 500 AMeV have been produced by fragmentation reactions of 20Ne in a beryllium production target and dissociated on a secondary Pb target. The incoming beam and the reaction products have been identified with the kinematically complete LAND-R3B experimental setup at GSI. The excitation energy prior to decay has been reconstructed by using the invariant-mass method. The preliminary differential and integral Coulomb Dissociation cross sections (σCoul) have been calculated, which provide a photoabsorption (σphoto) and a radiative capture cross section (σcap). Additionally, important information about the nuclear structure of the 17Ne nucleus will be obtained. The analysis is in progress.

Isovector soft dipole mode in Be-6

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- By using the H-1(Li-6,Be-6)n charge-exchange reaction, population of continuum states in Be-6 was observed up to E-T = 16 MeV, E-T being the Be-6 energy above its three-body decay threshold. In kinematically complete measurements performed by detecting alpha + p + p coincidences, an E-T spectrum of high statistics was obtained, containing approximately similar to 5 x 10(6) events. The spectrum provides detailed correlation information about the well-known 0(+) ground state of Be-6 at E-T = 1.37 MeV and its 2(+) state at E-T = 3.05 MeV. Moreover, a broad structure extending from 4 to 16 MeV was observed. It contains negative parity states populated by Delta L = 1 angular momentum transfer without other significant contributions. This structure can be interpreted as a novel phenomenon, i.e. the isovector soft dipole mode associated with the Li-6 ground state. The population of this mode in the charge-exchange reaction is a dominant phenomenon for this reaction, being responsible for about 60% of the cross-section obtained in the measured energy range.

- The complete three-body correlation pictures are experimentally reconstructed for the two-proton decays of the Be-6 and (45)e ground states. We are able to see qualitative similarities and differences between these decays. They demonstrate very good agreement with the predictions of a theoretical three-body cluster model. Validity of the theoretical methods for treatment of the three-body Coulombic decays of this class is thus established by the broad range of lifetimes and nuclear masses spanned by these cases. Implementations for decay dynamics and nuclear structure of 2p emitters are discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- By the Coulomb breakup of 17Ne, the time-reversed reaction 15O(2p,γ)17Ne has been studied. This reaction might play an important role in the rp process, as a break-out reaction of the hot CNO cycle. The secondary 17Ne ion beam with an energy of 500 MeV/nucleon has been dissociated in a Pb target. The reaction products have been detected with the LAND-R3B experimental setup at GSI. The preliminary differential and integral Coulomb dissociation cross section sCoul has been determined, which then will be converted into a photo-absorption cross section sphot o, and a two-proton radiative capture cross section σcap. Additionally, information about the structure of the 17Ne, a potential two-proton halo nucleus, will be received. The analysis is in progress.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The time-reversed reaction O-15(2p, gamma) Ne-17 has been studied by the Coulomb dissociation technique. Secondary 17Ne ion beams at 500 AMeV have been produced by fragmentation reactions of Ne-20 in a beryllium production target and dissociated on a secondary Pb target. The incoming beam and the reaction products have been identified with the kinematically complete LAND-(RB)-B-3 experimental setup at GSI. The excitation energy prior to decay has been reconstructed by using the invariant-mass method. The preliminary differential and integral Coulomb Dissociation cross sections (sigma(Coul)) have been calculated, which provide a photoabsorption (sigma(photo)) and a radiative capture cross section (sigma(cap)). Additionally, important information about the nuclear structure of the Ne-17 nucleus will be obtained. The analysis is in progress.

Intense Current Structures Observed at Electron Kinetic Scales in the Near-Earth Magnetotail During Dipolarization and Substorm Current Wedge Formation
- 2018

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We use data from the 2013-2014 Cluster Inner Magnetosphere Campaign, with its uniquely small spacecraft separations (less than or equal to electron inertia length, lambda(e)), to study multiscale magnetic structures in 14 substorm-related prolonged dipolarizations in the near-Earth magnetotail. Three time scales of dipolarization are identified: (i) a prolonged growth of the B-Z component with duration <= 20 min; (ii) B-Z pulses with durations <= 1 min during the B-Z growth; and (iii) strong magnetic field gradients with durations <= 2 s during the dipolarization growth. The values of these gradients observed at electron scales are several dozen times larger than the corresponding values of magnetic gradients simultaneously detected at ion scales. These nonlinear features in magnetic field gradients denote the formation of intense and localized (approximately a few lambda(e)) current structures during the dipolarization and substorm current wedge formation. These observations highlight the importance of electron scale processes in the formation of a 3-D substorm current system.

CNO cycle: "soft E1" mode of the Ne-17 excitation in the Ne-17+gamma -> O-15+2p reaction
- 2016

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The O-15(2p, gamma) Ne-17 reaction is studied using the time-reversed reaction of the Ne-17 E1 Coulomb dissociation on lead target in the context of nuclear astrophysics. Looking for the relation between the data on the Coulomb excitation and the astrophysical 2p-capture rate, one faces problem to extract the Coulomb E1 strength function from the measured Coulex cross section. We use a number of phenomenological approaches to estimate influence of such processes as Coulomb-nuclear interference, populations of states with different J(pi), etc. We calculate the Ne-17+ 2p astrophysical capture rate and compare the results with different calculations.

From Coulomb excitation cross sections to nonresonant astrophysical rates in three-body systems: The Ne-17 case
- 2018

-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Coulomb and nuclear dissociation of Ne-17 on light and heavy targets are studied theoretically. The dipole E1 strength function is determined in a broad energy range including energies of astrophysical interest. Dependence of the strength function on different parameters of the Ne-17 ground-state structure and continuum dynamics is analyzed in a three-body model. The discovered dependence plays an important role for studies of the strength functions for the three-body E1 dissociation and radiative capture. The constraints on the [s(2)]/[d(2)] configuration mixing in Ne-17 and on p-wave interaction in the O-15+p channel are imposed based on experimental data for Ne-17 Coulomb dissociation on heavy target.

FOUR-NEUTRON DECAY CORRELATIONS
- 2021
-
In: Acta Physica Polonica B, Proceedings Supplement. - 1899-2358. ; 14:4, s. 749-753

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The mechanism of simultaneous non-sequential four-neutron emission (or “true” four-neutron decay) has been considered in the phenomenological five-body approach. It is demonstrated that four-neutron decay fragments should have specific energy and angular correlations reflecting strong spatial correlations of “valence” nucleons orbiting in their four-neutron precursors. Due to the Pauli exclusion principle, the valence neutrons are pushed to the symmetry-allowed configurations in the four-neutron precursor structure, which causes a “Pauli focusing” effect. Prospects of the observation of the Pauli focusing have been considered for the hydrogen-7 nucleus. Fingerprints of its nuclear structure or/and decay dynamics are predicted.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Mechanism of simultaneous non-sequential four-neutron (4n) emission (or “true” 4n-decay) has been considered in phenomenological five-body approach. This approach is analogous to the model of the direct decay to the continuum often applied to 2n-and 2p-decays. It is demonstrated that 4n-decay fragments should have specific energy and angular correlations reflecting strong spatial correlations of “valence” nucleons orbiting in their 4n-precursors. Due to the Pauli exclusion principle, the valence neutrons are pushed to the symmetry-allowed configurations in the 4n-precursor structure, which causes a “Pauli focusing” effect. Prospects of the observation of the Pauli focusing have been considered for the 4n-precursors 7Hand 28 O. Fingerprints of their nuclear structure or/and decay dynamics are predicted.
