1 Nuclear Reactions Shape, interaction, and excitation structures of nuclei scattering expt. cf. Experiment by Rutherford (a scatt.) scattered particles detector solid angle projectile target transmitted particles K. Muto (TIT)

2 Nuclear fusion reactions two positive charges repel each other nuclear attractive intraction compound nucleus

3 Why subbarrier fusion? Two obvious reasons: discovering new elements (SHE by cold fusion reactions) nuclear astrophysics (fusion in stars)

4 Heavy-ion subbarrier fusion reactions Inter-nucleus potential Two forces: 1. Coulomb force Long range, repulsive 2. Nuclear force Short range, attractive above barrier sub-barrier deep subbarrier Potential barrier due to the compensation between the two (Coulomb barrier)

5 Fusion cross sections at subbarrier energies Fusion cross sections of structure-less nuclei (a potential model) Simple potential model: OK for relatively light systems underestimates s fus for heavier systems at subbarrier energies

6 Strong target dependence at E < V b low-lying collective excitations?

7

8 Effect of deformation on subbarrier fusion Excitation spectra of 154 Sm (MeV) 8 + cf. Rotational energy of a rigid body (Classical mechanics) Sm Sm is deformed

9 154 Sm 16 O The barrier is lowered for =0 because an attraction works from large distances. The barrier increases for =p/2. because the rel. distance has to get small for the attraction to work Def. Effect: enhances s fus by a factor of 10 ~ 100 Fusion: interesting probe for nuclear structure

10 Physics of superheavy elements Periodic table of chemical elements What is the heaviest element?

11 Periodic table of chemical elements natural elements: What is the heaviest element? Pu (Z=94) a tiny amount in nature U (Z=92) What determines these numbers??

12 natural elements: What is the heaviest element? Pu (Z=94) a tiny amount in nature U (Z=92) What determines these numbers?? heavy nuclei large Coulomb repulsion unstable against a decay 4 He nucleus = a particle + (Z,N) (Z-2,N-2) (Z=2,N=2)

13 Decay half-lives of heavy nuclei 13.7 billion years 4.6 billion years 232 Th x years 238 U x 10 9 years 244 Pu 8.08 x 10 7 years 247 Cm 1.56 x 10 7 years Heavier nuclei: unstable against fission

14 Periodic table of chemical elements artificially synthesized ( man-made ) nuclear reactions superheavy elements (SHE)

15 Prediction of island of stability: an important motivation of SHE study Yuri Oganessian island of stability around Z=114, N=184 W.D. Myers and W.J. Swiatecki (1966), A. Sobiczewski et al. (1966) modern calculations: Z=114,120, or 126, N=184 e.g., H. Koura et al. (2005)

16 Island of stability (SHE) Thorium Uranium Lead Continent Yuri Oganessian

17 who is she? (*) Z=110 Darmstadtium (Ds) 1994 Germany Z=111 Roentgenium (Rg) 1994 Germany Z=112 Copernicium (Cn) 1996 Germany Z=113 No name yet 2003 Russia / 2004 Japan Z=114 Flerovium (Fl) 1999 Russia (*) Z=115 No name yet 2003 Russia Z=116 Livermoriun (Lv) 2000 Russia Z=117 No name yet 2010 Russia Z=118 No name yet 2002 Russia island of stability: Z=114, N=184 Fl discovered: Z=114, N= island not yet confirmed

18 How to synthesize SHE? Nuclear fusion reactions Fusion of medium-heavy systems: Fusion of heavy and super-heavy systems: re-separation

19 extra push Z 1 *Z 2 = 1296 Z 1 *Z 2 = 2000 C.-C. Sahm et al., Z. Phys. A319( 84)113

20 2-body potential before touching 1-body potential after touching The red potential has to be overcome even if the blue potential has been overcome. Re-separation if failed (quasi-fission)

34 Naming rights? Under discussions in the joint IUPAC/IUPAP Joint Working Party IUPAC = International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry IUPAP = International Union of Pure and Applied Physics RIKEN (Japan) much less ambiguity with cold fusion Dubna (Russia) much larger number of events

35 Chemistry of superheavy elements Are they here in the periodic table? That is, does e.g., Lv show the same chemical properties as O, S, Se, Te, and Po?

36 relativistic effect : important for large Z E = mc 2 Solution of the Dirac equation (relativistic quantum mechanics) for a hydrogen-like atom: relativistic effect

37 Famous example of relativistic effects: the color of gold Gold looked like silver if there was no relativistic effects!

38 3.7 ev 2.4 ev 5s 4d Rel. Non-Rel. Non-Rel. Rel. 3.7 ev 2.4 ev 6s 5d cf. visible spectrum Silver (Ag) Gold (Au) 2.76 ev 1.65 ev

39 Rel. Non-Rel. Non-Rel. Rel. 3.7 ev 2.4 ev no color absorbed Silver (Ag) Gold (Au) blue: absorbed Ag Au

40 Chemistry of superheavy elements How do the relativistic effects alter the periodic table for SHE? a big open question
