94Zr的中子谱因子可用于研究93Zr(n,γ)94Zr直接辐射俘获反应的激发函数和天体物理反应率,对研究s-过程的核合成有重要意义。现有的94Zr中子谱因子实验结果仍存在较大的差异。本工作在北京HI-13串列加速器Q3D磁谱仪上测量了12C+94Zr、13C+94Zr弹性散射反应及94Zr(12C,13C)93Zr单中子转移反应的角分布。通过对弹性散射角分布的仔细分析,拟合出了入射道和出射道的光学势参数,并结合扭曲波玻恩近似(Distortedwave Born approximation,DWBA)理论对转移反应的微分截面进行了理论分析,提取出94Zr的中子谱因子为2.60±0.20。
Background: The slow neutron capture (s-) process plays a very important role in the nucleosynthesis, which produces about half of the elements heavier than iron. 94Zr is mainly from 93Zr(n,γ)94Zr in the s-process, and can be used to study the s-process. And the direct component of the 93Zr(n,γ)94Zr capture reaction can be derived from the neutron spectroscopic factors of 94Zr. Purpose: As the existing neutron spectroscopic factors of 94Zr differ from each other up to 60%, a new work should be adopted to measure them exactly. Methods: In the present work, the angular distribution of 94Zr(13C,13C)94Zr, 94Zr(12C,12C)94Zr and 94Zr(12C,13C)93Zr were obtained using the high-precision Q3D magnetic spectrograph. In addition, distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) calculations of the transfer differential cross sections were performed. Results: The calculated result was in good agreement with the experiment data, and a value of 2.60±0.20 for the neutron spectroscopic factor of 94Zr was extracted. Conclusion: With the neutron spectroscopic factor of 94Zr obtained in the work, the direct component of the 93Zr(n,γ)94Zr reaction can be derived in the near future.
