Abstract

Measurements of double charge exchange cross sections at an incident π⁺ energy of 50 MeV in the angular range 10°–90° are reported for analog and non-analog transitions on ³⁴S and ⁵⁶Fe. In the case of ⁵⁶Fe several individual non-analog transitions have been observed and their angular distributions measured. A state 1.5 MeV below the double isobaric analog state in ⁵⁶Ni, which recently has been observed at high incident pion energies as well, shows a peculiar backward peaked angular distribution.

In the latter case most of the pions produced at the production target have already decayed before reaching the final target for the actual measurement. An even more exciting feature of non-analog transitions has been revealed by subsequent measurements [221–227] at low energies. There these transitions exhibit in general not only larger cross sections than at higher energies, but also a very pronounced narrow resonant structure in the energy dependence (Fig. 4), which we will discuss in detail in the following.
Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 34
2012, Nuclear Data Sheets
Nuclear spectroscopic information for experimentally investigated nuclides of mass 34 (Ne, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar, K, Ca) has been evaluated. The principal sources of the Adopted Levels presented for nuclides close to the stability line are Endtʼs evaluations (1990En08, 1978En02). The data sets for reactions and decays, including all available gamma–ray data, are based mostly on the original literature. There are no data available for the excited states in ³⁴Ne and ³⁴Na. The existence of the ³⁴K and ³⁴Ca nuclides has been searched and reported in a secondary publication but no evidence was found for their detection. Both nuclides are possible candidates for one or two–proton emission. Only upper limits of half–lives have been proposed based on expected cross sections. Decay schemes for the β decays of ³⁴Ne, ³⁴Na, ³⁴Mg, and ³⁴Si are not known. Very little information is available for β–delayed neutron decays of ³⁵Na, ³⁵Mg and ³⁵Si which lead to population of levels in A = 34 nuclides. Neutron–rich nuclides in this mass region are relevant to “island of inversion”.
d′ production in heavy-ion collisions
1999, Nuclear Physics A
The production of d′ dibaryons in heavy-ion collisions due to the elementary process NN → d′π is considered. The NN → d′π cross section is estimated using the vacuum d′ width Γ_d′ ≈ 0.5 MeV extracted from data on the double charge exchange reactions on nuclei. The d′ production rate per single collision of heavy ions is estimated at an incident beam energy of 1 A GeV within the framework of the Quantum Molecular Dynamics transport model. We suggest to analyse the invariant mass spectrum of the NNπ system in order to search for an abundance of events with the invariant mass of the d′ dibaryon. The d′ peak is found to exceed the statistical fluctuations of the background at a 6σ level for 2 × 10⁵ · A central collisions of heavy ions with the atomic number A.
Equation of state of hadronic matter with dibaryons in an effective quark model
1999, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
The equation of state of symmetric nuclear matter with the inclusion of non-strange dibaryons is studied. We pay special attention to the existence of a dibaryon condensate at zero temperature. These calculations have been performed in an extended quark-meson coupling model with density-dependent parameters, which takes into account the finite size of nucleons and dibaryons. A first-order phase-transition to pure dibaryon matter has been found. The corresponding critical density is strongly dependent on the value of the dibaryon mass. The density behavior of the nucleon and dibaryon effective masses and confining volumes have been discussed.
Nuclear matter with a Bose condensate of dibaryons in relativistic mean-field theory
1997, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
If sufficiently light dibaryon resonances exist, a Bose condensate of dibaryons can occur in nuclear matter before the quark-hadron phase transition. Within a relativistic mean-field model we show that heterophase nuclear-dibaryon matter is for a wide set of parameters energetically more favorable than normal nuclear matter. Production of dibaryons is, however, relatively suppressed as compared to estimates based on the model of non-interacting nucleons and dibaryons.
