Study of the Hindrance Effect in Sub-barrier Fusion Reactions
We have measured the fusion cross sections of the 12C(13C, p)24Na reaction
through off-line measurement of the beta-decay of 24Na using the beta-gamma
coincidence method. Our new measurements in the energy range of Ec.m. = 2.6-3.0
MeV do not show an obvious S-factor maximum but a plateau. Comparison between
this work and various models is presented.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures, Talk at the "10th International Conference on

Superconductivity and single crystal growth of Ni0:05TaS2
Superconductivity was discovered in a Ni0:05TaS2 single crystal. A Ni0:05TaS2
single crystal was successfully grown via the NaCl/KCl flux method. The
obtained lattice constant c of Ni0:05TaS2 is 1.1999 nm, which is significantly
smaller than that of 2H-TaS2 (1.208 nm). Electrical resistivity and
magnetization measurements reveal that the superconductivity transition
temperature of Ni0:05TaS2 is enhanced from 0.8 K (2H-TaS2) to 3.9 K. The
charge-density-wave transition of the matrix compound 2H-TaS2 is suppressed in
Ni0:05TaS2. The success of Ni0:05TaS2 single crystal growth via a NaCl/KCl flux
demonstrates that NaCl/KCl flux method will be a feasible method for single
crystal growth of the layered transition metal dichalcogenides.Comment: 13pages, 6 figures, Published in SS
Single crystal growth and characterizations of Cu0.03TaS2 superconductors
Single crystal of Cu0.03TaS2 with low copper intercalated content was
successfully grown via chemical iodine-vapor transport. The structural
characterization results show that the copper intercalated 2H-Cu0.03TaS2 single
crystal has the same structure of the CdI2-type structure as the parent 2H-TaS2
crystal. Electrical resistivity and magnetization measurements reveal that
2H-Cu0.03TaS2 becomes a superconductor below 4.2 K. Besides, electrical
resistivity and Hall effects results show that a charge density wave transition
occurs at TCDW = 50 K.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures,revised versio

By analyzing the data sets of 17.3, 6.5 and 1.0 pb taken,
respectively, at , 3.650 and 3.6648 GeV with the BES-II
detector at the BEPC collider, we measure the observed cross sections for

Partial wave analysis of J/\psi \to \gamma \phi \phi
Using events collected in the BESII detector, the
radiative decay is
studied. The invariant mass distribution exhibits a near-threshold
enhancement that peaks around 2.24 GeV/.
A partial wave analysis shows that the structure is dominated by a
state () with a mass of
GeV/ and a width of GeV/. The

A study of charged kappa in
Based on events collected by BESII, the decay

spectrum recoiling against the charged , the charged
particle is found as a low mass enhancement. If a Breit-Wigner function of
constant width is used to parameterize the kappa, its pole locates at MeV/. Also in this channel,
the decay is observed for the first time.
Its branching ratio is .Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure
Measurements of the observed cross sections for exclusive light hadron production in e^+e^- annihilation at \sqrt{s}= 3.773 and 3.650 GeV
By analyzing the data sets of 17.3 pb taken at GeV

the branching fractions for decay to these final states at 90%

First direct measurement of 12C (12C,n) 23Mg at stellar energies
© 2016 Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences. Neutrons produced by the carbon fusion reaction12C(12C,n)23Mg play an important role in stellar nucleosynthesis. Past studies have shown large discrepancies between experimental data and theory, leading to an uncertain cross section extrapolation at astrophysical energies. We present the first direct measurement which extends deep into the astrophysical energy range along with a new and improved extrapolation technique based on experimental data from the mirror reaction12C(12C,p)23Na. The new reaction rate has been determined with a well-defined uncertainty which exceeds the precision required by astrophysics models. Using our constrained rate, we find that12C(12C,n)23Mg is crucial to the production of Na and Al in Pop-III Pair Instability Supernovae
Measurements of psi(2S) decays to octet baryon-antibaryon pairs
With a sample of 14 million psi(2S) events collected by the BESII detector at
the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC), the decay channels psi(2S)->p
p-bar, Lambda Lambda-bar, Sigma0 Sigma0-bar, Xi Xi-bar are measured, and their
