Two-neutron transfer in 7 Be + 9 Be collisions

Elastic scattering and transfer cross sections for the 7 Be + 9 Be system have been measured at E lab = 23.1 MeV using the 7 Be radioactive secondary beam produced at Radioactive Ion Beams in Brazil facility at the University of São Paulo. The elastic scattering has been measured by detecting the 7 Be scattered at forward angles in the laboratory system. The transfer reaction 9 Be ( 7 Be , 9 Be ) 7 Be was identified by detecting the 9 Be scattered at the same laboratory angles. The elastic angular distribution has been analyzed by optical model calculations using a Woods-Saxon form factor whose parameters have been varied to best reproduce the experimental data at forward angles. Coupled reaction channels calculations (CRC) have been performed to describe the transfer, considering the coupling to the transfer channel and including contributions to the ground state and to the first excited state of 7 Be ( 1 / 2 − ; 429 keV ) in the final state. The spectroscopic amplitudes used in the CRC calculation have been derived from shell-model calculations. Similar CRC calculations were applied to existing 9 Be ( p , t ) 7 Be data to check the consistency of our results results for the ( 7 Be , 9 Be ) transfer reaction.Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) de Brasil, Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ) de Brasil y Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) de Brasil. 2013/22100-7 y 2016/21434-

Elastic scattering, inelastic excitation, and 1 n pick-up transfer cross sections for 10 B + 120 Sn at energies near the Coulomb barrier

The 10 B + 120 Sn reaction has been systematically studied at laboratory energies around the Coulomb barrier: E LAB = 31.5 , 33.5, 35.0, and 37.5 MeV. Cross sections for the elastic scattering and some reaction processes have been measured: excitation to the 1 + state of 10 B ; excitation to the 2 + and 3 − states of 120 Sn ; and the one-neutron pick-up transfer 120 Sn ( 10 B , 11 B ) 119 Sn . Coupled reaction channel (CRC) calculations have been performed in the context of the double-folding São Paulo potential. The theoretical calculations result in a good overall description of the experimental angular distributions. The effect on the theoretical elastic-scattering angular distributions of couplings to the inelastic and transfer states (through the CRC calculations) and to the continuum states (through continuum-discretized coupled-channels calculations) has been investigated.Instituto Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia–Física Nuclear e Aplicações (INCT-FNA) 464898/2014-5Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad de España y el Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER) FIS2014-51941-P,Junta de Andalucía.

Elastic, inelastic, and 1 n transfer cross sections for the 10 B + 120 Sn reaction

The 10 B + 120 Sn reaction has been investigated at E Lab = 37.5 MeV. The cross sections for different channels, such as the elastic scattering, the excitation of the 2 + and 3 − 120 Sn states, the excitation of the 1 + state of 10 B , and the 1 n pick-up transfer, have been measured. One-step distorted-wave Born approximation and coupled-reaction-channels calculations have been performed in the context of the double-folding São Paulo potential. The effect of coupling the inelastic and transfer states on the angular distributions is discussed in the paper. In general, the theoretical calculations within the coupled-reaction-channels formalism yield a satisfactory agreement with the corresponding experimental angular distributions.Instituto Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia-Física Nuclear e Aplicações de Brasil (INCT-FNA) 464898/2014-

Fibroids not encroaching the endometrial cavity and IVF success rate : a prospective study

BACKGROUND The impact of fibroids, not encroaching the endometrial cavity, have on the rate of success of IVF is still controversial. Recent meta-analyses suggest a detrimental effect of intramural lesions but not subserosal lesions. However, they also emphasize the need for further evidence. In order to elucidate this, we designed a prospective cohort study to compare the rate of success of IVF in women with and without fibroids. METHODS Exposed women were those with asymptomatic intramural or subserosal fibroids with a diameter below 50 mm and who were selected for IVF. Unexposed women were those free of fibroids, who were matched to cases by age and number of previous IVF cycles. All recruited patients underwent hystero-sonography to rule out intra-cavitary lesions. RESULTS There were 119 cases and 119 controls recruited. The number of clinical pregnancies in women with and without fibroids was 28 (24%) and 22 (19%), respectively (P= 0.43). The adjusted odds ratio (OR) for pregnancy in affected women was 1.38 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.73-2.60]. The number of deliveries was 22 (18%) and 16 (13%), respectively (P= 0.38). The adjusted OR was 1.45 (95% CI: 0.71-2.94). Similar results emerged when focusing exclusively on women carrying intramural lesions (n= 80 couples). There was no significant relationship between clinical outcome and either the number or size of the fibroids. CONCLUSIONS In asymptomatic patients selected for IVF, small fibroids not encroaching the endometrial cavity did not impact on the rate of success of the procedure

Investigation of the reaction mechanisms for 10 B + 197 Au at near-barrier energies

The 10 B + 197 Au reaction has been investigated through cross-section measurements for different channels, such as quasielastic and elastic scattering, inelastic excitation of low-lying 197 Au states, and one-neutron pickup and one-proton stripping transfer reactions. Experimental angular distributions were obtained for 20 bombardment energies around the Coulomb barrier: 38 ≤ E l a b ≤ 61 MeV . Coupled reaction channels calculations have been performed in the context of the double-folding São Paulo potential, and details of the data analysis are discussed along the paper. In general, the theoretical calculations provide a satisfactory description of the data.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) 2018/09998-8 y 2017/05660-0,Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico de Brasil (CNPq) 407096/2017-5 y 306433/2017-6Instituto Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia: Física Nuclear de Brasil (INCT-FNA) 464898/2014-5Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades de España.

Understanding the mechanisms of nuclear collisions: A complete study of the B 10 + Sn 120 reaction

Background: Reactions involving exotic and stable weakly bound nuclei have been extensively studied in recent years. Although several models have been successfully used to explain particular reaction outcomes, the answers to many questions remain elusive. In previous works, we presented elastic, inelastic, and transfer angular distributions for the B10+Sn120 system measured at ELab=31.5, 33.0, 35.0, and 37.5 MeV. The data set was analyzed through coupled reaction channels calculations in the context of the double-folding São Paulo potential. Purpose: We investigate nuclear reaction mechanisms for systems involving weakly bound projectiles. Method: Angular distributions for several nuclear reaction processes were measured for the B10+Sn120 system at ELab=39.70 MeV. Results: The new data set involves angular distributions for elastic scattering, projectile and target inelastic excitations, one-neutron pickup transfer, one-proton stripping transfer, deuteron pickup transfer, and He3,4 stripping transfer. We have also observed Be10 nuclei. The effect of the couplings to some nonelastic states on the angular distributions is discussed. Conclusion: The theoretical calculations within the coupled reaction channels formalism provide an overall good agreement with the corresponding inelastic, one-neutron stripping, one-proton pickup, one-deuteron pickup, and He3 stripping transfer data. However, to improve the description of the elastic scattering angular distribution, the inclusion of additional channels in the coupling scheme might be necessary.Fil: Gasques, L. R..

Elastic scattering, inelastic excitation, and neutron transfer for Li 7 + Sn 120 at energies around the Coulomb barrier

Experimental angular distributions for the 7 Li + 120 Sn elastic and inelastic (projectile and target excitations) scattering, and for the neutron stripping reaction, have been obtained at E LAB = 20, 22, 24, and 26 MeV, covering an energy range around the Coulomb barrier ( V (LAB) B ≈ 21 . 4 MeV). Coupled channel and coupled reaction channel calculations were performed and both describe satisfactorily the experimental data sets. The 1 2 − state 7 Li inelastic excitation (using a rotational model), as well as the projectile coupling to the continuum ( α plus a tritium particle) play a fundamental role on the proper description of elastic, inelastic, and transfer channels. Couplings to the one-neutron stripping channel do not significantly affect the theoretical elastic scattering angular distributions. The spectroscopic amplitudes of the transfer channel were obtained through a shell model calculation. The theoretical angular distributions for the one-neutron stripping reaction agreed with the experimental data

Systematic study of optical potential strengths in reactions on Sn 120 involving strongly bound, weakly bound, and exotic nuclei

We present new experimental angular distributions for the elastic scattering of Li6+Sn120 at three bombarding energies. We include these data in a wide systematic involving the elastic scattering of He4,6,Li7, Be9,B10, and O16,18 projectiles on the same target at energies around the respective Coulomb barriers. Considering this data set, we report on optical model analyses based on the double-folding São Paulo potential. Within this approach, we study the sensitivity of the data fit to different models for the nuclear matter densities and to variations in the optical potential strengths.Fil: Alvarez, M. A. G..
