The Onset of Nuclear Structure Effects in Near-Barrier Elastic Scattering of Weakly-Bound Nuclei: He and Li Compared
The elastic scattering of the halo nucleus He from heavy targets at
incident energies near the Coulomb barrier displays a marked deviation from the
standard Fresnel-type diffraction behavior. This deviation is due to the strong
Coulomb dipole breakup coupling produced by the Coulomb field of the heavy
target, a specific feature of the nuclear structure of He. We have
performed Continuum Discretized Coupled Channels calculations for the elastic
scattering of He and Li from Ni, Sn, Sm,
Ta and Pb targets in order to determine the range of
where this nuclear-structure specific coupling effect becomes
manifest. We find that the strong Coulomb dipole breakup coupling effect is
only clearly experimentally distinguishable for targets of .Comment: 10 pages with 3 figure
Failure of the Standard Coupled-Channels Method in Describing the Inelastic Reaction Data: On the Use of a New Shape for the Coupling Potential
We present the failure of the standard coupled-channels method in explaining
the inelastic scattering together with other observables such as elastic
scattering, excitation function and fusion data. We use both microscopic
double-folding and phenomenological deep potentials with shallow imaginary
components. We argue that the solution of the problems for the inelastic
scattering data is not related to the central nuclear potential, but to the
coupling potential between excited states. We present that these problems can
be addressed in a systematic way by using a different shape for the coupling
potential instead of the usual one based on Taylor expansion.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, 1 table, Latex:RevTex4 published in J. Phys. G:

Global Examination of the C+C Reaction Data at Low and Intermediate Energies
We examine the C+C elastic scattering over a wide energy range
from 32.0 to 70.7 MeV in the laboratory system within the framework of the
Optical model and the Coupled-Channels formalism. The C+C system
has been extensively studied within and over this energy range in the past.
These efforts have been futile in determining the shape of the nuclear
potential in the low energy region and in describing the individual angular
distributions, single-angle 50 to 90 excitation functions and
reaction cross-section data simultaneously. In order to address these problems
systematically, we propose a potential that belongs to a family other than the
one used to describe higher energy experimental data and show that it is
possible to use it over this wide energy range. This potential also predicts
the resonances at correct energies with reasonable widths.Comment: 30 pages with 13 eps figues and 3 tables, LaTeX-Revtex

Drying kinetic analysis of municipal solid waste using modified page model and pattern search method
This work studied the drying kinetics of the organic fractions of municipal solid waste (MSW) samples with different initial moisture contents and presented a new method for determination of drying kinetic parameters. A series of drying experiments at different temperatures were performed by using a thermogravimetric technique. Based on the modified Page drying model and the general pattern search method, a new drying kinetic method was developed using multiple isothermal drying curves simultaneously. The new method fitted the experimental data more accurately than the traditional method. Drying kinetic behaviors under extrapolated conditions were also predicted and validated. The new method indicated that the drying activation energies for the samples with initial moisture contents of 31.1 and 17.2 % on wet basis were 25.97 and 24.73 kJ mol−1. These results are useful for drying process simulation and industrial dryer design. This new method can be also applied to determine the drying parameters of other materials with high reliability
β-delayed γ-proton decay in 56Zn: analysis of the charged-particle spectrum
A study of the beta decay of the proton-rich T-z = 2 nucleus Zn-56 has been reported in a recent publication. A rare and exotic decay mode, beta-delayed gamma-proton decay, has been observed there for the first time in the fp shell. Here, we expand on some of the details of the data analysis, focussing on the charged particle spectrum
