Pb, 
Ti + Pb, and Ca + 
Cm reactions were successfully measured by using the gas-filled recoil-ion separator GARIS. Fusion barrier distributions were extracted from these data, and compared with the coupled-channels calculations. It was found that the peak energies of the barrier distributions for the Ca + Pb and Ti + Pb systems coincide with those of the 2n evaporation channel cross sections for the systems, while that of the Ca + Cm is located slightly below the 4n evaporation ones. This results provide us helpful information to predict the optimum beam energy to synthesize superheavy nuclei.

Nuclear Back-end and Transmutation Technology for Waste Disposal, p.3 - 11, 2015/00
One of the major problems of fuel cycle is the disposal of high-level radioactive waste which contains long-lived nuclides and high-decay heating nuclides. Transmuting such nuclides into short-lived or stable nuclides is one possible way to resolve this problem. Neutron capture reactions have been proposed for transmutations of such fission products. However, this transmutation method is not effective for nuclides with small neutron capture cross sections such as 
Cs. Recently, the photo-neutron (
,n) reactions via giant dipole resonance with laser Compton scattering -rays has been suggested as an alternative method for nuclear transmutations. In this paper, we investigate in detail the effectiveness of the transmutation of Cs quantitatively. For the transmutation of Cs of 1g with photon flux 
/s, 
/s and 
/s for 24 hours, 10%, 70% and 99% reduction of the initial amount of Cs is theoretically possible.

To this end, we systematically study single- hypernuclei, from 
O to 
Pb, for which the ground state wave function is obtained in the framework of Hartree-Fock method with several Skyrme-type 
interactions. Our results indicate that the excitation energy of the soft dipole mode, 
decreases as the mass number increases. We find that the excitation energy is well parametrized as 
MeV as a function of mass number A.

We first discuss the deformation properties of hypernuclei in the sd-shell region. Based on the relativistic mean-field approach, we show that the oblate deformation of 
Si nucleus may disappear when a particle is added to this nucleus. We then discuss the rotational excitations of 
Mg nucleus using the three-dimensional potential energy surface in the deformation plane obtained with the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock method. The deformation of Mg nucleus is predicted to be slightly reduced due to an addition of particle. We demonstrate that this leads to a reduction of electromagnetic transition probability, 
, in the ground state rotational band. We also present an application of random phase approximation to hypernuclei, and show that a new dipole mode appears in hypernuclei, which can be interpreted as an oscillation of particle against the core nucleus.

m-thick Si-DSD and four layers of 750-m-thick CdTe-DSDs all of which have common electrode configuration segmented into 128 strips on each side with pitches of 250m. In order to realize high angular resolution and to reduce size of the detector system, a stack of DSDs with short stack pitches of 4 mm is utilized to make the camera. Taking advantage of the excellent energy and position resolutions of the semiconductor devices, the camera achieves high angular resolutions of 4.5 degrees at 356 keV and 3.5 degrees at 662 keV. To obtain such high resolutions together with an acceptable detection efficiency, we demonstrate data reduction methods including energy calibration using Compton scattering continuum and depth sensing in the CdTe-DSD. We also discuss imaging capability of the camera and show simultaneous multi-energy imaging.

In addition to hotspot imaging already provided by commercial imaging systems, the identification of the variety of radioisotopes is realized thanks to the good energy resolution given by the semiconductor detectors. Three radioisotopes of 
Ba (356 keV), 
Na (511 keV) and Cs (662 keV) were individually imaged by applying event selection in the energy window and the -ray images was correctly overlapped by an optical picture. The detection efficiency of 1.68

Times Cited Count：64 Percentile：93.08(Physics, Nuclear)In order to describe heavy-ion fusion reactions around the Coulomb barrier with an actinide target nucleus, we propose a model which combines the coupled-channels approach and a fluctuation-dissipation model for dynamical calculations. Fusion-fission, quasi-fission and deep quasi-fission are separated as different Langevin trajectories on the potential energy surface. Using this model, we analyze the experimental data for the mass distribution of fission fragments (MDFF) in the reactions of 
S+
U and 
Si+U at several incident energies around the Coulomb barrier. We find that the time scale in the quasi-fission as well as the deformation of fission fragments at the scission point are different between the Si+U and 
S+U systems, causing different mass asymmetries of the quasi-fission.

interactions for the HF calculations, and the residual interactions for RPA derived with the same interactions. We find that inclusion of two hyperons in 
O shifts the energy of the collective states towards higher energies. In particular, the energy of the giant monopole resonance of 
O, as well as that of 
Pb, becomes larger. This implies that the effective incompressibility modulus increases due to the impurity effect of particle, if the 
-stability condition is not imposed.

Assuming that the particle adiabatically follows the fission motion, we discuss the fission barrier height of 
U. We find that the fission barrier height increases slightly when the particle occupies the lowest level. In this case, the particle is always attached to the heavier fission fragment. This indicates that one may produce heavy neutron-rich hypernuclei through fission, whose weak decay is helpful for the nuclear transmutation of long-lived fission products. We also discuss cases where the particle occupies a higher single-particle level.

This is the case even at very low temperatures, which may be relevant to astrophysical purposes.

Using the finite-temperature quasiparticle random phase approximation (FTQRPA) on the basis of the finite temperature Skyrme-Hartree-Fock+Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) method, we study -decay half-lives for even-even nuclei in a finite-temperature environment. We find that the -decay half-life first decreases as the temperature increases for all the nuclei we study, although the thermal effect is found to be small at temperatures relevant to r-process nucleosynthesis. Our calculations indicate that the half-life begins to increase at high temperatures for open-shell nuclei. We discuss this behavior in connection to the pairing phase transition.
hypernuclei with the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approachMinato, Futoshi; Hagino, Koichi*; Chiba, Satoshi
no journal, ,
It has been shown that the shape of a few deformed nuclei change toward spherical when a particle is added to them. This is caused because the interaction between a particle and a nucleon is attractive. This fact has motivated us to investigate the influence of particle on the fission of heavy nuclei. We will discuss the fission-related phenomena of heavy hypernuclei with the constraint Skyrme-Hartree-Fock+BCS (SHF+BCS) method. We employ a Skyrme-type interaction for the interaction and assume adiabaticity, that is, the particle is assumed to be in the lowest state at all deformations. Our result confirms that the particle is stuck to the heavier fission fragment, which is consistent with the experimental result of CERN. We will also discuss the deformation of heavy hypernuclei and the particle motion inside the core nuclei.
