3. 能级密度的重要性 ● controlling the statistical decay of excited nuclei ● an crucial input for nucleosynthesis calculations (r-process), reactor science, etc.

4. Fermi-gas level-density expression It is employed in most statistical-model calculations

5. The level density parameter a is parametrized as:

6. 1. Evaporation process: evaporation spectra R.J.Charity, PRC82,014610(2010), and many other works To fit energy spectra of evaporated particles, is large at low E* and small at higher E*, suggesting that must be dependent on E*

7. 2. Fission process: cross sections, particle yields Critical factors that strongly influence the decay mechanism of heavy nuclei at high energy include: A, E*, J, a(U) [a f /a n ],, etc.

8. Experimental observation of enhanced emission of light particles prior to fission (with respect to predictions from standard statistical models) with increasing excitation energy in fusion-fission reactions. This is due to dissipation effects.

9. Theoretical Model

10. The Langevin equation reads q is the dimensionless fission coordinate and is defined as half of the distance between the center of mass of the future fission fragments divided by the radius of the compound nucleus. T is temperature, M is inertia parameter and is friction strength  (t) is a time-dependent stochastic variable which satisfies =0 and = 2δ(t-t ’ )

11. The driving force of the Langevin equation is calculated from the entropy: E* is the total internal energy of the system, V(q) is potential energy. deformation-dependent level density parameter a(q) = a 1 A + a 2 A 2/3 B s (q) where B s (q) is the dimensionless surface area (for a sphere B s = 1). It is used to calculate a f /a n.

21. Recent work on excitation-energy dependent a f /a n (E*) and its effects on the decay of hot nuclei suggested probes: excitation energy at scission E* = E* sc + V(q) + E coll + E evap (t sc ) E coll is the kinetic energy of the collective degrees of freedom, and E evap (t) is the energy carried away by all evaporated particles by the scission time t sc

22. picture of fission process

23. Choose spallation reactions induced by high energy protons Models: QMD + SM, L.Ou, Z.X.Li, X.Z.Wu, etc. BUU + SM, G.C.Yong, W.Zuo INCL + SM, Belgium

24. main characteristics: ● the thermal excitation energy of the produced excited nuclei in spallation can reach 1 GeV ● significantly reduce side effects from compression, deformation and high spins. These distortions complicate the description of de-excitation process of excited nuclear systems

25. W.Ye, PRC85 (2012) 011601(R)

29. ● The sensitivity of E* sc to nuclear friction depends on the a f /a n (E*). ● Experimentally, to probe information of a f /a n (E*), populating heavy systems with spallation reactions can significantly lower side effects associated with angular momentum, deformation, etc. ● Applications to spallation-induced reactions and the decay of superheavy nuclei.
