GAMMA-RAY SPECTRAL CLUES TO FLEETING PARTNERS INSIDE NUCLEI

中文摘要英文摘要

原子核由质子和中子构成,组成原子核的质子和中子大多数时候受整体核力环境支配并产生运动,通常称之为费米运动.这些中子和质子,偶尔会在极短距离内形成转瞬即逝的"搭档",并获得异常大的相对动量,物理学家称之为短程关联.这样的搭档不能被直接"拍照",却会在重离子碰撞早期留下线索:跑得特别快的中子和质子相遇时,更容易放出高能伽马光子,使伽马能谱的高能端被抬高、变"硬".近期的锡-锡碰撞实验利用这一线索,通过测量碰撞产生的高能轫致辐射光子,结合输运模型、探测器校准和背景检验,推断锡-124原子核中约20%的核子具有与短程关联相关的高动量成分.该结果为研究原子核内部短距离运动提供了一种新的、与电子散射和强子敲出互补的方法,也让低能重离子碰撞成为探测核内核子运动形态与基态核结构特征的新窗口.

Nuclei are not bags of static balls.Most protons and neutrons move under the over-all nuclear environment,but a small fraction can form fleeting close-range partners and carry unusually large momenta.These short-range correlations cannot be photographed directly.Instead,they leave statistical clues in the high-energy gamma-ray spectrum emitted at the ear-liest stage of a heavy-ion collision:faster neutron-proton encounters are more likely to produce energetic gamma rays,hardening the spectral tail.A recent 124Sn+124Sn experiment at 25MeV per nucleon used this idea,together with transport-model comparisons,detector calibration,and background checks,to infer that about 20%of nucleons in 124Sn belong to short-range-correlation-related high-momentum components.The result provides a complementary gam-ma-ray route for studying short-distance motion inside nuclei.
