which represents the spatial and dynamical essentialities of the initial
coupling state in Be nucleus. The weighted interaction vertex of

Variation of Tensor Force due to Nuclear Medium Effect
The enhancement of =3(0) state with isospin excited
by the tensor force in the free Li nucleus has been observed, for the
first time, relative to a shrinkable excitation in the Li cluster
component inside its host nucleus. Comparatively, the excitation of
=0(1) state with isospin for these two Li
formations take on an approximately equal excitation strength. The mechanism of
such tensor force effect was proposed due to the intensive nuclear medium role
on isospin =0 state.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Multi-alpha Boson Gas state in Fusion Evaporation Reaction and Three-body Force
The experimental evidence for the Boson gas state in the
C+CMg fusion evaporation reaction is
presented. By measuring the emission spectrum with multiplicity 2 and
3, we provide insight into the existence of a three-body force among
particles. The observed spectrum exhibited distinct tails corresponding to
particles emitted in pairs and triplets consistent well with the
model-calculations of AV18-UX and chiral effective field theory of NV2-3-la*,
indicating the formation of clusters with three-body force in the
Boson gas state.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure
Development of a gating grid driver of TPC for exotic beam experiments
Abstract The Multi-purpose Time Projection Chamber (TPC) for nuclear AsTrophysical and Exotic beam experiments (MATE) is being upgraded for the decay and active target experiments at the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL). We have developed a gating grid driver to control the transitions between the closed and open states of the gating grid of the MATE-TPC to detect interesting rare decay events from a large amount of implanted ions. The gating grid driver is mainly composed of a digital control unit and a high-voltage switch unit. The digital control unit responds to the external trigger and generates control signals for the operation of the high-voltage control part based on the presetting instruction. The high-voltage switch unit is connected to two negative high voltages with different values and changes the voltages of neighboring wires of the gating grid based on the request for closing or opening the gate. A 500 ns switching time of the gating grid driver has been achieved from the closed to open state. The duration of the open state can be adjusted from 1 µs to 99 ms based on the experimental requirements. This gating grid driver can be used in a particle detector with a high voltage bias of up to ± 3000 V
Development of a semi-cylindrical time projection chamber prototype for ( 3 He , t ) charge exchange reaction experiment
Abstract The charge exchange (CE) reaction is an effective probe to study the structure of atomic nuclei in the isospin dimension, which has been studied for decades. To expand the range of nuclei studied by CE reactions to a wider range and research the structure characteristics of unstable nuclei, including the isospin symmetry, spin-isospin excitation, and nuclear symmetry energy, a semi-cylindrical time projection chamber (scTPC) prototype was designed and constructed to probe ( 3 He,t) CE reactions in inverse kinematics. The 266 nm UV laser was used to achieve electron-drift-velocity calibration. The scTPC has an energy resolution (FWHM) of 5.6% for α particles emitted by 241 Am radioactive source. The position resolution of scTPC is described by the residual method. The spatial resolution on the pad plane is 409 \upmu μ m. And the position resolution in the drift direction is 326 \upmu μ m, equivalent to an angular resolution of 0.4 ∘ . These performances suggest that the scTPC can measure Δ E and particle tracks precisely. The successful development of the scTPC prototype provides better conditions for the next step of experimental data analysis and processing
Exploration of grid scheme for Frisch-grid ionization chamber
A new Frisch-grid ionization chamber has been built to explore the appropriate choice of Frisch-grid. Detailed studies of the relationship between grid geometries and detector performance have been performed with an Am source. This paper describes and compares the energy resolution of ionization chambers with parallel-wire and mesh grids of different grid parameters. Some specific recommendations for grid selection are provided based on the data currently available. To obtain optimal energy resolution, the operating voltage of the chamber must satisfy the condition of minimum electron collection on the grid with distinct geometries and parameters, respectively. Since there is no established theory applicable to both types of grids, we have devised a careful simulation procedure incorporating the COMSOL and Garfield++ codes to search for the conditions of the minimum electron collection on the grid. The simulation results fit the experimental data well, suggesting that this simulation method successfully predicts the suitable voltage setting when using a mesh grid or parallel wires grid as the shielding electrode
New trapezoid-shaped Frisch-grid ionization chamber for low-energy particle measurements
A new trapezoid-shaped Frisch-grid ionization chamber (TFG-IC) has been built as a part of a telescope system for the detection and identification of charged particles at energies down to a few MeV. To study the effect of the drift electric field uniformity, two types of sealed windows, namely a pair of SSA (split-strip aluminized mylar film) and a pair of DSA (double-sided aluminized mylar film) sealed windows have been investigated. The detector’s performances were studied using a standard Am source at different gas pressures, and the total energy-deposit resolution achieved is about 1.1%(FWHM). The telescope, which was composed of TFG-IC and a DSSSD (double-sided silicon strip detector), has been tested using a three-component source and the Am source under laboratory conditions. The results show that the energy resolution with the SSA sealed windows which provide uniform drift electric field has a smaller fluctuation than that with the DSA ones; the fluctuations are about 1% and 4% for the former and the latter, respectively. Simulations using the COMSOL software also confirmed the electric-field distortion at the edge of the detector with the DSA windows. A correlation curve between energy resolution and energy deposit of charged particles at various gas pressures and for two gas species is derived for TFG-IC with the SSA sealed windows using the measurement with the Am source. Incorporating the above results, we performed Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the particle-identification capability of the telescope. The results show that the telescope can be extended to the identification of low-energy particles
