摘要:

我们区分事件的n- $γ$多重性数据从\ce{^{252}Cf}(SF)相对于发射粒子的能量以及它们的相对发射角。我们确定,在$0.7$和$1.2$ MeV附近,中子发射增强了$γ$ -射线发射,但对于$E_γ\leq 0.7$ MeV,观察到了唯一的定向排列,并且倾向于与同一事件中发射的中子平行和反平行。其他能量的$γ$射线的发射被确定为几乎是各向同性的。的存在下的发射和对齐增强的解释由中子发射和四极$γ$ -射线发射沿旋转带中的退激碎片之间的正相关性。这一观察结果证实了碎片的角动量与其固有激发能之间正相关的假设。鉴于最近对裂变角动量产生的理论和实验兴趣,这项工作的结果尤其相关。具体来说,我们已经确定了一个对齐的碎片角动量在垂直于运动方向的方向。我们解释的$n$ - $γ$角相关的裂变碎片附近的封闭壳层作为一个弱化的球形核的对齐过程。最后,我们观察到统计$γ$射线是各向同性发射的,这表明这种辐射去除的平均角动量很小。这些结果,并在这项工作中提出的分析工具,代表了一个垫脚石,为未来的分析$n$ - $γ$发射相关性和它们的连接角动量属性。

英文摘要:

We differentiate the event-by-event n-$γ$ multiplicity data from \ce{^{252}Cf}(sf) with respect to the energies of the emitted particles as well as their relative angles of emission. We determine that neutron emission enhances $γ$-ray emission around $0.7$ and $1.2$ MeV, but the only directional alignment was observed for $E_γ\leq 0.7$ MeV and tended to be parallel and antiparallel to neutrons emitted in the same event. The emission of $γ$ rays at other energies was determined to be nearly isotropic. The presence of the emission and alignment enhancements is explained by positive correlations between neutron emission and quadrupole $γ$-ray emission along rotational bands in the de-exciting fragments. This observation corroborates the hypothesis of positive correlations between the angular momentum of a fragment and its intrinsic excitation energy. The results of this work are especially relevant in view of the recent theoretical and experimental interest in the generation of angular momentum in fission. Specifically, we have determined an alignment of the fragments angular momenta in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion. We interpret the lack of $n$-$γ$ angular correlations for fission fragments near closed shells as a weakening of the alignment process for spherical nuclei. Lastly, we have observed that statistical $γ$ rays are emitted isotropically, indicating that the average angular momentum removed by this radiation is small. These results, and the analysis tools presented in this work, represent a stepping stone for future analysis of $n$-$γ$ emission correlations and their connection to angular momentum properties.
