$$beta$$-delayed neutron emission has been of interest since the discovery of nuclear fission. In nuclear power reactors, delayed-neutron data play a crucial role in reactor kinetics calculations and safe operation. $$beta$$-delayed neutron data also have a significant impact in the field of nuclear structure and astrophysics especially as nuclei farther away from stability are explored at the new generation of radioactive beam facilities. Several compilations of $$beta$$-decay half-lives and delayed-neutron emission probabilities are available, however, complete documentation of measurements and evaluation procedures is often missing for these properties. Efforts to address this gap in nuclear data and create an updated compilation and evaluation of $$beta$$-delayed neutron properties were undertaken under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) which formed a Coordinated Research Project (CRP) on "Development of a Reference Database of Beta-delayed Neutron Emission Data". In this paper we summarize the work that was performed and present the results of the CRP.

We report the elongation of embedded Au nanoparticles (NPs) in three different matrices under irradiations of 4 MeV C$$_{60}$$ ions and 200 MeV Xe ions. Large elongation of Au NPs was observed for crystalline indium tin oxide (ITO) under both 4 MeV C$$_{60}$$ and 200 MeV Xe irradiation. The ITO layer preserved the crystallinity even after large elongation was induced. This is the first report of the elongation of metal NPs in a crystalline matrix.

Fission-fragment mass distributions were measured for $$^{237-240}$$U, $$^{239-242}$$Np and $$^{241-244}$$Pu populated in the excitation-energy range from 10 to 60 MeV by multi-nucleon transfer channels in the reaction $$^{18}$$O + $$^{238}$$U at the JAEA tandem facility. Among them, the data for $$^{240}$$U and $$^{240,241,242}$$Np were observed for the first time. It was found that the mass distributions for all the studied nuclides maintain a double-humped shape up to the highest measured energy in contrast to expectations of predominantly symmetric fission due to the washing out of nuclear shell effects. From a comparison with the dynamical calculation based on the fluctuation-dissipation model, this behavior of the mass distributions was unambiguously attributed to the effect of multi-chance fission.

We report on the event structure and double helicity asymmetry ($$A_{LL}$$) of jet production in longitudinally polarized $$p + p$$ collisions at $$sqrt{s}$$ = 200 GeV. Photons and charged particles were measured by the PHENIX experiment. Event structure was compared with the results from PYTHIA event generator. The production rate of reconstructed jets is satisfactorily reproduced with the next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD calculation. We measured $$A_{LL}$$ = -0.0014 $$pm$$ 0.0037 at the lowest $$P_T$$ bin and -0.0181 $$pm$$ 0.0282 at the highest $$P_T$$ bin. The measured $$A_{LL}$$ is compared with the predictions that assume various $$Delta G(x)$$ distributions.

Transverse momentum distributions and yields for $$pi^{pm}, K^{pm}, p$$, and $$bar{p}$$ in $$p + p$$ collisions at $$sqrt{s}$$ = 200 and 62.4 GeV at midrapidity are measured by the PHENIX experiment at the RHIC. We present the inverse slope parameter, mean transverse momentum, and yield per unit rapidity at each energy, and compare them to other measurements at different $$sqrt{s}$$ collisions. We also present the scaling properties such as $$m_T$$ and $$x_T$$ scaling and discuss the mechanism of the particle production in $$p + p$$ collisions. The measured spectra are compared to next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations.

The PHENIX experiment at RHIC has measured the invariant differential cross section for production of $$K^0_s$$, $$omega$$, $$eta'$$ and $$phi$$ mesons in $$p + p$$ collisions at $$sqrt{s}$$ = 200 GeV. The spectral shapes of all hadron transverse momentum distributions are well described by a Tsallis distribution functional form with only two parameters, $$n$$ and $$T$$, determining the high $$p_T$$ and characterizing the low $$p_T$$ regions for the spectra, respectively. The integrated invariant cross sections calculated from the fitted distributions are found to be consistent with existing measurements and with statistical model predictions.

A Dispersive, lane-consistent coupled-channel optical model based on soft-rotator theory for accurate calculation of nuclear reaction data

Chiba, Satoshi; Soukhovitski, E. Sh.*; Capote, R.*; Quesada, J.*

Proceedings of 2009 International Congress on Advances in Nuclear Power Plants (ICAPP '09) (CD-ROM), p.9172_1 - 9172_7, 2009/05

Coupled-channels optical model code OPTMAN is widely applied to analyze experimental nucleon-nucleus interaction data. Sophisticated dispersive optical potential forms had been included in the code along with the possibility to calculate direct excitations of isobar analog states in (p,n) reactions. The latter along with accounting of the proton "effective" energy decrease due to Coulomb repulsion by nuclei, leads to full Lane-consistent optical potential. Such approach had been successfully applied to nucleon-nucleus interaction reaction analyses of experimental data for several nuclei up to 200 MeV incident energies.

A coupled-channel code to calculate nuclear cross sections, OPTMAN, has been improved after OPTMAN version 8 was published as JAERI-Data/Code 2005-002. The most important addition is the inclusion of dispersive relationships between imaginary and real parts of the optical potential within a Lane consistent formalism. The obtained CCOM potentials allow for the description of nucleon induced reactions up to 200 MeV, including (p,n) reactions with excitation of isobaric analog states. Relativistic corrections consistent with those used in the ECIS06 code are also added.

A Global dispersive coupled-channel optical model potential for actinides

Capote, R.*; Chiba, Satoshi; Soukhovitskij, E. Sh.*; Quesada, J. M.*; Bauge, E.*

A global dispersive coupled-channel optical model (DCCOM) potential is proposed to describe neutron and proton interactions with actinide nuclei at 0.001 to 200 MeV range. A linear dependence of the geometrical parameters on mass number $$A$$ is employed, and deformation parameters are adjusted for each nucleus to extend the DCCOM determined previously for $$^{238}$$U and $$^{232}$$Th to neighboring nuclei, $$^{241}$$Am, $$^{242,240,239}$$Pu and $$^{235,233}$$U. Fitted deformations are in reasonable agreement with those derived theoretically. The present DCCOM is capable of describing not only the cross sections but also the total cross section differences between $$^{232}$$Th and $$^{238}$$U up to 200 MeV within experimental uncertainty, verifying that the isovector potential and assumed geometrical parameters are adequate to describe the minute difference of the cross sections of actinide nuclei and its energy dependence.

Approximate Lane consistency of the dispersive coupled-channel potential for actinides

A previously derived dispersive coupled-channel optical model potential for nucleon scattering on $$^{232}$$Th and $$^{238}$$U nuclei has been challenged against experimental data on quasi-elastic ($$p,n$$) scattering to the isobaric analog states of corresponding target nuclei. The Lane potential derived from the isovector term of the dispersive coupled-channel optical model potential has been shown to approximately reproduce available experimental differential cross-section data for the quasi-elastic ($$p,n$$) reaction; therefore the approximated Lane consistency of that potential has been established.

Elastic and inelastic scattering of unpolarized and polarized protons by $$^{40}$$Ar nuclei for incident energies between 20 and 50 MeV has been studied by reanalyzing experimental scattering spectra for the 2$$^{+}$$ (1.46 MeV) and 3$$^{-}$$ (3.68 MeV) levels in the angular range 30$$^{circ}$$ - 160$$^{circ}$$ for incident protons of energies of 25.1, 32.5, and 40.7 MeV. An isospin dependent soft-rotator coupled channels optical model with the potential containing a dispersive term with a nonlocal contribution is used to analyze the data.

Lane consistent coupled channels optical model potential (OMP) containing a dispersive term including nonlocal contribution is used to simultaneously fit the available experimental database (including strength functions and scattering radius) for neutron and proton scattering on strongly deformed $$^{232}$$Th nucleus. The energy range 0.001-200 MeV is covered. A dispersive coupled-channel optical model (DCCOM) potential with parameters that show a smooth energy dependence and energy independent geometry are determined from fits to the entire data set. Dispersive contribution is shown to be the dominant Coulomb correction to the proton real potential below the Coulomb barrier. Inclusion of nonlocality effects in the absorptive volume potential and its corresponding dispersive contribution to the real potential is needed to achieve an excellent agreement above 100 MeV.
