摘要:

裂变碎片发射的中子和伽马射线揭示了有关裂变后碎片性质的重要信息。最初的碎片属性,碎片之间的相关性,和排放竞争引起的相关性,在中子-γ发射。中子-伽马相关性在不扩散应用中很重要,因为可裂变样品的特性取决于对测量辐射中特征的识别。此外,最近的理论和实验进展提出了解释裂变中角动量产生的机制。在本文中,我们提出了一种新的分析方法的中子和γ射线发射的裂变碎片,使我们能够辨别所观察到的相关性的结构。我们分析了在洛斯阿拉莫斯中子科学中心的Chi-Nu阵列上收集的\ce{^{252}Cf}(SF)数据。通过我们的能量微分中子-伽马多重性协方差的分析,我们已经观察到增强的中子-伽马相关性,对应于旋转带伽马射线跃迁,在伽马射线能量为$0.7$和$1.2$ MeV。为了阐明这种结构的起源,我们将实验数据与三种模型计算的预测进行了比较。观察到的相关结构的起源被理解为裂变角动量产生中的正自旋-能量相关。

英文摘要:

The emission of neutrons and gamma rays by fission fragments reveal important information about the properties of fragments immediately following scission. The initial fragment properties, correlations between fragments, and emission competition give rise to correlations in neutron-gamma emission. Neutron-gamma correlations are important in nonproliferation applications because the characterization of fissionable samples relies on the identification of signatures in the measured radiation. Furthermore, recent theoretical and experimental advances have proposed to explain the mechanism of angular momentum generation in fission. In this paper, we present a novel analysis method of neutrons and gamma rays emitted by fission fragments that allows us to discern structure in the observed correlations. We have analyzed data collected on \ce{^{252}Cf}(sf) at the Chi-Nu array at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. Through our analysis of the energy-differential neutron-gamma multiplicity covariance, we have observed enhanced neutron-gamma correlations, corresponding to rotational band gamma-ray transitions, at gamma-ray energies of $0.7$ and $1.2$ MeV. To shed light on the origin of this structure, we compare the experimental data with the predictions of three model calculations. The origin of the observed correlation structure is understood in terms of a positive spin-energy correlation in the generation of angular momentum in fission.
