( $α$ ,n) reactions in oxide compounds calculated from the R-matrix theory

Journal Article Pigni, Marco T. ; Gauld, Ian C. ; Croft, Stephen - Progress in Nuclear Energy

In this paper, we present an analysis of the neutron yield and energy distribution of neutron source terms generated from the interaction of α-particles with ^17,18O nuclei in fissile actinide compounds. When compared with measured data, the neutron yield and energy distribution data calculated for several isotopic configurations are used to validate the energy-dependent ^17,18O(α,n) cross sections modeled by a set of resonance parameters based on the Reich-Moore approximation of the R-matrix theory. Lastly, the present analysis shows the fundamental importance of the partial contribution of the (α,n) cross sections to each excited state in determining the shape and magnitudemore »« less

Electronic Structure, Phonon Dynamical Properties, and ${CO}_{2}$ Capture Capability of ${Na}_{2 - x} M_{x} Zr O_{3}$ ( $M = Li$ ,K): Density-Functional Calculations and Experimental Validations

Journal Article Duan, Yuhua ; Lekse, Jonathan ; Wang, Xianfeng ; ... - Physical Review Applied

The electronic structural and phonon properties of Na _2-αM _αZrO ₃ (M ¼ Li,K, α = ¼ 0.0,0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0) are investigated by first-principles density-functional theory and phonon dynamics. The thermodynamic properties of CO ₂ absorption and desorption in these materials are also analyzed. With increasing doping level α, the binding energies of Na _2-αLi _αZrO ₃ are increased while the binding energies of Na _2-α K _αZrO ₃ are decreased to destabilize the structures. The calculated band structures and density of states also show that, at the same doping level, the doping sites play a significant role in the electronic properties.more »« less

Measurement of transverse energy–energy correlations in multi-jet events in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7 TeV$ using the ATLAS detector and determination of the strong coupling constant $α_{s} (m_{Z})$

Journal Article Aad, G. ; Abbott, B. ; Abdallah, J. ; ... - Physics Letters B

High transverse momentum jets produced in pp collisions at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV are used to measure the transverse energy–energy correlation function and its associated azimuthal asymmetry. The data were recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in the year 2011 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 158 pb ^–1. The selection criteria demand the average transverse momentum of the two leading jets in an event to be larger than 250 GeV. The data at detector level are well described by Monte Carlo event generators. They are unfolded to the particle level and comparedmore »« less

Production cross sections of elements near the $N = 126$ shell in ${}^{48}{Ca}$ -induced reactions with ${}^{154}{Gd}, {}^{159}{Tb}, {}^{162}{Dy}$ , and ${}^{165}{Ho}$ targets

Journal Article Mayorov, D. A. ; Werke, T. A. ; Alfonso, M. C. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

Excitation functions for shell-stabilized evaporation residues produced in 48 Ca -induced reactions with 154 Gd , 159 Tb , 162 Dy , and 165 Ho targets have been measured in experiments performed at the Cyclotron Institute at Texas A&M University. The examined energy range predominantly covers the 3 n and 4 n evaporation channels with higher cross sections measured for the 4 n products. The σ 4 n are nearly invariant within experimental uncertainty in reactions with 159 Tb , 162 Dy , and 165 Ho with the maxima at 12.6 ± 1.9, 12.6 ± 1.7, and 9.4 ± 1.3more »« less
