文摘The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory(JUNO)is a multi-purpose neutrino experiment under construction in South China.This paper presents an updated estimate of JUNO’s sensitivity to neutrino mass ordering using the reactor antineutrinos emitted from eight nuclear reactor cores in the Taishan and Yangjiang nuclear power plants.This measurement is planned by studying the fine interference pattern caused by quasi-vacuum oscillations in the oscillated antineutrino spectrum at a baseline of 52.5 km and is completely independent of the CP violating phase and neutrino mixing angleθ_(23).The sensitivity is obtained through a joint analysis of JUNO and Taishan Antineutrino Observatory(TAO)detectors utilizing the best available knowledge to date about the location and overburden of the JUNO experimental site,local and global nuclear reactors,JUNO and TAO detector responses,expected event rates and spectra of signals and backgrounds,and systematic uncertainties of analysis inputs.We find that a 3σmedian sensitivity to reject the wrong mass ordering hypothesis can be reached with an exposure of about 6.5 years×26.6 GW thermal power.

文摘This paper presents an energy resolution study of the JUNO experiment,incorporating the latest knowledge acquired during the detector construction phase.The determination of neutrino mass ordering in JUNO requires an exceptional energy resolution better than 3% at 1 MeV.To achieve this ambitious goal,significant efforts have been undertaken in the design and production of the key components of the JUNO detector.Various factors affecting the detection of inverse beta decay signals have an impact on the energy resolution,extending beyond the statistical fluctuations of the detected number of photons,such as the properties of the liquid scintillator,performance of photomultiplier tubes,and the energy reconstruction algorithm.To account for these effects,a full JUNO simulation and reconstruction approach is employed.This enables the modeling of all relevant effects and the evaluation of associated inputs to accurately estimate the energy resolution.The results of this study reveal an energy resolution of 2.95% at 1 Mev.Furthermore,this study assesses the contribution of major effects to the overall energy resolution budget.This analysis serves as a reference for interpreting future measurements of energy resolution during JUNO data collection.Moreover,it provides a guideline for comprehending the energy resolution characteristics of liquid scintillator-based detectors.

文摘The NUBASE2020 evaluation contains the recommended values of the main nuclear physics properties for all nuclei in their ground and excited,isomeric(T1/2≥100 ns)states.It encompasses all experimental data published in primary(journal articles)and secondary(mainly laboratory reports and conference proceedings)references,together with the corresponding bibliographical information.In cases where no experimental data were available for a particular nuclide,trends in the behavior of specific properties in neighboring nuclei were examined and estimated values are proposed.Evaluation procedures and policies that were used during the development of this evaluated nuclear data library are presented,together with a detailed table of recommended values and their uncertainties.

文摘This is the second part of the new evaluation of atomic masses,Ame2020.Using least-squares adjustments to all evaluated and accepted experimental data,described in Part I,we derived tables with numerical values and graphs which supersede those given in Ame2016.The first table presents the recommended atomic mass values and their uncertainties.It is followed by a table of the influences of data on primary nuclides,a table of various reaction and decay energies,and finally,a series of graphs of separation and decay energies.The last section of this paper provides all input data references that were used in the Ame2020 and the Nubase2020 evaluations.
文摘The^(nat)Mo(γ,xnp)^(95m,g)Nb photonuclear reaction was studied using the electron beam from the NSC KIPT linear accelerator LUE-40.The experiment was performed using the activation and off-lineγ-ray spectrometric technique.The experimental isomeric yield ratio(IR)was determined for the reaction products^(95m,g)Nb at the bremsstrahlung end-point energy E_(γmax)range of 38-93 MeV.The obtained values of IR are in satisfactory agreement with the results of other studies and extend the range of previously known data.The theoretical values of the yields Y_(m,g)(E_(γmax))and the IR for the isomeric pair^(95m,g)Nb from the^(nat)Mo(γ,xnp)reaction were calculated using the partial cross-sectionsσ(E)from the TALYS1.95 code for six different level density models.For the investigated range of E_(γmax),the theoretical dependence of IR on energy was confirmed-the IR smoothly increases with increasing energy.The comparison showed a noticeable difference(more than 3.85 times)in the experimental IR relative to all theoretical estimates.
文摘Nearly degenerate quantum states arise from fundamental symmetries, which are often broken in finite many-body systems like atomic nuclei. Chirality can be static, like in molecules composed of more than four atoms, or dynamic, like in particle physics distinguishing between parallel and antiparallel orientation of the spin with respect to the momentum of massless fermions.
