First experimental determination of the40Ar((Formula presented))39Ar reaction cross section and39Ar production in Earth’s atmosphere S. Bhattacharya, M. Paul, R.N. Sahoo, R. Purtschert, H.F.R. Hoffmann, M. Pichotta, K. Zuber, D. Bemmerer, T. Döring, R. Schwengner, M.L. Avila, E. Lopez-Saavedra, J.C. Dickerson, C. Fougères, J. McLain, R.C. Pardo, K.E. Rehm, R. Scott, I. Tolstukhin, R. Vondrasek, T. Bailey, L. Callahan, A.M. Clark, P. Collon, Y. Kashiv, A. Nelson, D. Robertson, D. Neto, C. Ugalde, M. Tessler, S. Vaintraub Geochimica Et Cosmochimica Acta, 2026 The cosmogenic 39 Ar(t = 268 years) isotope of argon is used for geophysical dating and tracing of underground and ocean water, as well as ice owing to its appropriate half-life and chemical inertness as a noble gas; 39 Ar serves also in nuclear weapon test monitoring. We measured for the first time the total cross section of the main 39 Ar cosmogenic production reaction in the atmosphere, namely 40 Ar Ar, using 14.8 ± 0.3 neutrons. The neutrons, produced by a deuterium-tritium generator, impinged on a stainless steel sphere filled with Ar gas highly enriched in the 40 Ar isotope and were monitored by a stack of fast-neutron activation foils. The reaction yield was measured by atom counting of long-lived 39 Ar with noble gas accelerator mass spectrometry and, independently, by decay counting relative to atmospheric argon ( 39 Ar/Ar= ). A total 40 Ar Ar cross section of 610 ± 100 mb was determined at 14.8 ± 0.3 incident neutron energy. This result serves as a benchmark for recent theoretical calculations and evaluations, found to reproduce well the experimental total cross section. We use these energy-dependent theoretical cross sections together with experimental spectra of cosmogenic neutrons at different altitudes to calculate the global average rate of neutron-induced 39 Ar atmospheric production, resulting in 39 Ar atoms/cm /day. The secular equilibrium between the 39 Ar calculated production rate and radioactive decay rate leads to a partial isotopic abundance 39 Ar/Ar , showing that 73% of atmospheric 39 Ar is produced by cosmogenic neutrons, the remaining part believed to be induced by muons and high-energy rays. The 40 Ar( ) 39 Ar cross section at 14 MeV is also a key parameter for quantifying the anthropogenic contribution to atmospheric 39 Ar produced during the thermonuclear tests of the 1960s. We estimate that anthropogenic 39 Ar accounts for roughly 20% of the present atmospheric inventory.
Stellar s -process neutron capture cross section of Ce isotopes R. N. Sahoo, M. Paul, Y. Kashiv, M. Tessler, M. Friedman, S. Halfon, A. Kreisel, A. Shor, L. Weissman Physical Review C, 2024 Stellar abundances of cerium are of high current interest based both on observations and theoretical models, especially with regard to the neutron-magic $^{140}\mathrm{Ce}$ isotope. A large discrepancy of $s$-process stellar models relative to cerium abundance observed in globular clusters was highlighted, pointing to possible uncertainties in experimental nuclear reaction rates. In this work, the stellar neutron capture cross section of the stable cerium isotopes $^{136}\mathrm{Ce}$, $^{138}\mathrm{Ce}$, $^{140}\mathrm{Ce}$, and $^{142}\mathrm{Ce}$, were remeasured. A $^{\text{nat}}\mathrm{Ce}$ sample was irradiated with quasi-Maxwellian neutrons at $kT=34.2$ keV using the $^{7}\mathrm{Li}(p,n)$ reaction. The neutron field with an intensity of $3\text{--}5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{10}$ n/s was produced by irradiating the liquid-lithium target (LiLiT) with a mA proton beam at an energy (1.92 MeV) just above the threshold at Soreq Applied Research Accelerator Facility (SARAF). The activities of the $^{\text{nat}}\mathrm{Ce}$ neutron capture products were measured using a shielded high purity germanium detector. Cross sections were extracted relative to that of the $^{197}\mathrm{Au}(n,\ensuremath{\gamma})$ reaction and the Maxwellian-averaged cross section (MACS) of the Ce isotopes were derived. The MACS values extracted from this experiment are generally consistent with previous measurements and show for $^{140}\mathrm{Ce}$ a value $\ensuremath{\approx}15$% smaller than most recent experimental values.

Investigation of isotopic dependence on the O + Ni fusion cross section near barrier energies Nabendu Kumar Deb, K. Kalita, Harun Al Rashid, Amar Das, S. Nath, J. Gehlot, N. Madhavan, Rohan Biswas, Rudra N. Sahoo, Pankaj K. Giri, A. Parihari, Niraj K. Rai, Saumyajit Biswas, Amritraj Mahato, B. J. Roy Physical Review C, 2022 Fusion excitation functions have been measured for $^{16}\mathrm{O}+^{61}\mathrm{Ni}$ and $^{18}\mathrm{O}+^{61,62}\mathrm{Ni}$ systems around the Coulomb barrier ($\ensuremath{\approx}0.7{V}_{B}$--$1.3{V}_{B}$) using the recoil mass spectrometer, heavy ion reaction analyzer. The ground state $Q$ value for two neutron stripping is positive for both systems with $^{18}\mathrm{O}$ as the projectile. Strong enhancement of the experimental fusion cross sections were observed below the barrier for all the systems compared to that of the predictions of the one-dimensional barrier penetration model. To understand such enhancement, a coupled-channels formalism has been used. A comparative study of these systems indicated that the coupling of two neutron transfer channels with the collective excitations could play the role behind the sub-barrier fusion enhancement for $^{18}\mathrm{O}$ induced reactions. However, the sub-barrier enhancement for $^{16}\mathrm{O} + ^{61}\mathrm{Ni}$ is found to be due to the coupling of quadrupole vibrations of both the interacting nuclei. Also after comparing these systems with other systems of different Ni isotopes, we have found that the signature of the role of coupling to neutron transfer channels due to ground state positive $Q$ value for neutron transfer is ambiguous.
Role of precursor nuclei in heavy-ion induced reactions at low energies Ishfaq Majeed Bhat, Mohd. Shuaib, M. Shariq Asnain, Manoj Kumar Sharma, Abhishek Yadav, Vijay R. Sharma, Pushpendra P. Singh, Devendra P. Singh, Sunita Gupta, Unnati Gupta, Rudra N. Sahoo, Arshiya Sood, Malika Kaushik, Sushil Kumar, R. Kumar, B. P. Singh, R. Prasad Physical Review C, 2022 In heavy-ion induced reactions, generally, a large number of residues are populated through different reaction channels. In some cases the same residue is populated via two different modes viz., (i) directly from a given reaction and (ii) via $\ensuremath{\beta}$ and/or electron capture decay of a nuclide (precursor). Separation of the two is required for a better understanding of reaction dynamics. The procedure existing in the literature for extracting the independent production cross section from the cumulative cross section employs the assumptions of half-life of the daughter being much larger in comparison to the half-life of the precursor $({t}_{1/2}^{p}\ensuremath{\ll}{t}_{1/2}^{d})$ and require the counting to be performed after large cooling times $({t}_{l}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty})$. A general and more exact expression is obtained in the present work surpassing the assumptions as well as difficulties reported earlier. Analysis of the experimental reaction data sets covering a broader range of possibilities $({t}_{1/2}^{p}>{t}_{1/2}^{d}$; ${t}_{1/2}^{p}\ensuremath{\approx}{t}_{1/2}^{d};$ ${t}_{1/2}^{p}<{t}_{1/2}^{d})$ presented shows the importance of the current formulations. The advantage of the generalized expression even when the assumptions hold true is also discussed. A comparison of results obtained from the traditional method in the context of its assumptions instead of the calculations from the exact expression has been made. The results obtained with the presently derived formulations are found to give justified values of cross sections for all the cases in contrast to the traditional formulation.
Effect of non- α -cluster projectile on incomplete-fusion dynamics: Experimental study of the N 14 + Ta 181 system M. Shariq Asnain, Mohd. Shuaib, Ishfaq Majeed, Manoj Kumar Sharma, Vijay R. Sharma, Abhishek Yadav, Devendra P. Singh, Pushpendra P. Singh, Unnati Gupta, Rudra N. Sahoo, Arshiya Sood, Malika Kaushik, Sushil Kumar, R. Kumar, B. P. Singh, R. Prasad Physical Review C, 2021 In order to study incomplete fusion (ICF) reaction dynamics, the present work manifests the role of a non-$\ensuremath{\alpha}$-cluster $^{14}\mathrm{N}$ projectile on $^{181}\mathrm{Ta}$ target at energies $\ensuremath{\approx}4--7$ MeV/nucleon using the offline $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray spectroscopy. The excitation functions for 15 reaction residues populated in $^{14}\mathrm{N}+^{181}\mathrm{Ta}$ system have been measured and analyzed within the framework of statistical model code PACE4. The experimentally measured excitation functions of evaporation residues populated via xn/pxn channels are found to be well reproduced by the predictions of code PACE4, which confirms their production solely via complete fusion process. However, an enhancement in the measured excitation function as compared to PACE4 calculations, particularly in tail portion of $^{192}\mathrm{Hg}$ residue ($3n$ channel) has been observed indicating the presence of precompound emission. A significant contribution from precursor decay in pxn channels has also been observed. An enhancement in the measured excitation functions for $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-emitting channels as compared to the PACE4 predictions has been observed and attributed to the incomplete fusion process. Further, the contribution from incomplete fusion process in the $^{14}\mathrm{N}+^{181}\mathrm{Ta}$ system has also been deduced in terms of strength function (${F}_{\mathrm{ICF}}$). The results have been discussed in terms of the parameters which influence the dynamics of ICF process. The ${F}_{\mathrm{ICF}}$ is found to depend strongly on projectile energies, the product of projectile and target charges, and $\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{-}Q$ value of the projectile.
Analysis of mass-separated evaporation residues formed in S 32 + Zn 70,68 fusion reactions: The special case of Ru 97,95 Deepak Kumar, Moumita Maiti, Rinku Prajapat, Amit Kumar Singh Chauhan, Rohan Biswas, et al. Physical Review C, 2021 Background: The experimental knowledge of nuclear reaction data and decay properties plays a vital role in searching for novel and exotic radioisotopes, prompting us to widen the experimental study of heavy-ion induced reactions.Purpose: The aim is to study the production of mass separated (i.e., separation of different masses of residues, where each mass group consists of isobaric nuclei) evaporation residues (ERs) populated in $^{32}\mathrm{S}+^{70}\mathrm{Zn}$ and $^{32}\mathrm{S}+^{68}\mathrm{Zn}$ reactions within 115--135 and 130--150 MeV incident energy ranges, respectively, and optimization of masses 97 and 95 u that consist of $^{97}\mathrm{Pd}$, $^{97}\mathrm{Rh}$, $^{97}\mathrm{Ru}$, and $^{95}\mathrm{Pd}$, $^{95}\mathrm{Rh}$, $^{95}\mathrm{Ru}$, $^{95}\mathrm{Tc}$ isobaric residues, respectively.Method: Mass separation of ERs has been achieved at the focal plane of the Heavy Ion Reaction Analyser (HIRA) at the 15 UD Pelletron facility, IUAC, India. The residues were detected at the focal plane of HIRA using a multiwire proportional counter (MWPC).Results: Competing production of masses 97 and 95 u through the fusion of $^{32}\mathrm{S}$ ions with $^{70}\mathrm{Zn}$ and $^{68}\mathrm{Zn}$, respectively, have been observed in comparison to their neighboring masses within the measured energy range. The maximum cumulative production of $^{97}\mathrm{Ru}$ has been found to be $\ensuremath{\approx}99\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}9.9$ $\mathrm{Bq}/\mathrm{h}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{pnA}(\mathrm{mg}/{\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$) at 125 MeV, while for $^{95}\mathrm{Ru}$ it is $\ensuremath{\approx}69\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}6.9$ $\mathrm{Bq}/\mathrm{h}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{pnA}(\mathrm{mg}/{\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$) at 135 MeV. Comparisons of experimental results with the theoretical calculations indicate that the residues are mainly populated through the compound reaction mechanism.Conclusions: As anticipated from theory, significant yields of $^{97}\mathrm{Ru}$ and $^{95}\mathrm{Ru}$ in reactions $^{32}\mathrm{S}+^{70}\mathrm{Zn}$ and $^{32}\mathrm{S}+^{68}\mathrm{Zn}$ have been achieved via cumulative production of different isobars of mass 97 and 95 u, respectively. Cumulative yield of $^{97}\mathrm{Ru}$ has been found to be equivalent, i.e., the same order of magnitude [viz., $\ensuremath{\approx}{10}^{7}$ nuclei/h pnA(mg/${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$)], compared to its independent production through $^{11}\mathrm{B}$ and $^{7}\mathrm{Li}$ projectile induced reactions.
