大爆炸核合成中感兴趣的核反应的理论计算

Theoretical calculation of nuclear reactions of interest for Big Bang Nucleosynthesis

Alex Gnech

摘要:

标准大爆炸核合成(BBN)预测了早期宇宙中轻元素的丰度。即使与实验数据的总体一致性较好,但在${}^7$ Li和${}^6$ Li的残余丰度上仍存在一些差异。为了排除或确认这些情景,BBN模型需要精确的输入参数,特别是BBN核反应网络的横截面。然而,由于库仑势垒对截面的抑制使得测量非常困难,并且因此受到大的系统误差的影响。因此,可靠的理论计算结果的根本,以减少不确定性。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个理论研究的两个核反应连接到${}^6$锂丰度和最近的$α$ +d $\rightarrow$ ${}^6$锂+ $γ$和p+ ${}^6$锂$\rightarrow$ ${}^7$ Be+ $γ$辐射捕获。对于第一个反应,我们使用一个所谓的从头算方法,在该方法中,我们解决了完整的六体问题,通过使用现实的核势来描述核子相互作用。特别是,我们集中在计算和表征的最终状态的反应,${}^6$锂基态,专注于电磁静态结构和相关的量从天体物理的角度来看,如渐近归一化系数。为了做到这一点,我们使用的超球谐方法开发的比萨集团提供了第一次使用这种方法的可能性超过A = 4核系统。第二个反应,而不是研究通过使用两体簇的方法,其中质子和${}^6$锂被认为是无结构的粒子。在这项工作中获得的发射光子的角分布被LUNA合作组织用来确定用于测量反应的探测器的效率。

英文摘要:

Standard Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) predicts the abundances of the light elements in the early universe. Even if the overall agreement with the experimental data is good, still some discrepancies exist on the relic abundances of ${}^7$Li and ${}^6$Li. In order to exclude or confirm these scenarios, the BBN model needs precise input parameters, in particular the cross-sections of the BBN nuclear reaction network. However, the suppression of the cross-sections due to the Coulomb barrier makes the measurement very difficult and so affected by large systematic errors. Therefore, reliable theoretical calculations result fundamental in order to reduce the uncertainties. In this work we present a theoretical study of two nuclear reactions connected to ${}^6$Li abundance and recently the $α$+d$\rightarrow$ ${}^6$Li + $γ$ and the p+${}^6$Li$\rightarrow$${}^7$Be+$γ$ radiative captures. For the first reaction we use a so-called ab-initio approach in which we solve the full six-body problem by using realistic nuclear potentials to describe the nucleon interactions. In particular we concentrate on the calculation and characterization of the final state of the reaction, the ${}^6$Li ground state, focusing on the electromagnetic static structure and the quantities relevant from the astrophysical point of view such as the asymptotic normalization coefficient. For doing this we use the Hyperspherical Harmonic approach developed by the Pisa group providing for the first time the possibility of using this approach beyond A = 4 nuclear systems. The second reaction is instead studied by using a two-body cluster approach where the proton and ${}^6$Li are considered as structureless particles. The angular distribution of the emitted photon obtained in this work were used by the LUNA Collaboration to determine the efficiency of the detector used in the measurement of the reaction.
