    The potential energy surfaces of even-even 146−156^{146-156}Sm are investigated in the constrained reflection-asymmetric relativistic mean-field approach with parameter set PK1. It is shown that the critical-point candidate nucleus 152^{152}Sm marks the shape/phase transition not only from U(5) to SU(3) symmetry, but also from the octupole-deformed ground state in 150^{150}Sm to the quadrupole-deformed ground state in 154^{154}Sm. By including the octupole degree of freedom, an energy gap near the Fermi surface for single-particle levels in 152^{152}Sm with β2=0.14∼0.26\beta_2 = 0.14 \sim 0.26 is found, and the important role of the octupole deformation driving pair ν2f7/2\nu 2f_{7/2} and ν1i13/2\nu 1i_{13/2} is demonstrated.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure

    Probing the density dependence of the symmetry potential with peripheral heavy-ion collisions

    Full text link
    The peripheral heavy-ion collisions of 112,124Sn+86Kr^{112, 124}Sn+ ^{86}Kr at Eb=25AMeVE_{b}= 25AMeV are studied by means of the Improved Quantum Molecular Dynamics Model(ImQMD). It is shown that the slope of the average N/Z ratio of emitted nucleons vs impact parameters for these reactions is very sensitive to the density dependence of the symmetry energy. Our study also shows that the yields of 3H^{3}H and 3He^{3}He decrease with impact parameters and slope of the yield of 3H^{3}H vs impact parameters as well as the ratio of Y(3H^{3}H)/Y(3He^{3}He) depend on the symmetry potential strongly for peripheral heavy-ion collisions.Comment: 10 pages,6 figures, accepted by Phys.Rev.

    Robust optimization for energy transactions in multi-microgrids under uncertainty

    Independent operation of single microgrids (MGs) faces problems such as low self-consumption of local renewable energy, high operation cost and frequent power exchange with the grid. Interconnecting multiple MGs as a multi-microgrid (MMG) is an effective way to improve operational and economic performance. However, ensuring the optimal collaborative operation of a MMG is a challenging problem, especially under disturbances of intermittent renewable energy. In this paper, the economic and collaborative operation of MMGs is formulated as a unit commitment problem to describe the discrete characteristics of energy transaction combinations among MGs. A two-stage adaptive robust optimization based collaborative operation approach for a residential MMG is constructed to derive the scheduling scheme which minimizes the MMG operating cost under the worst realization of uncertain PV output. Transformed by its KKT optimality conditions, the reformulated model is efficiently solved by a column-and-constraint generation (C&CG) method. Case studies verify the effectiveness of the proposed model and evaluate the benefits of energy transactions in MMGs. The results show that the developed MMG operation approach is able to minimize the daily MMG operating cost while mitigating the disturbances of uncertainty in renewable energy sources. Compared to the non-interactive model, the proposed model can not only reduce the MMG operating cost but also mitigate the frequent energy interaction between the MMG and the grid
