利用兰州重离子加速器(HIRFL)所提供的60MeV/u的18O离子束照射天然铀靶,通过多核子转移反应生成238Th.由快速放射化学分离技术从铀及其反应产物的混合物中分离出钍.使用2台高纯锗(HPGe)探测器对样品的γ(X)活性进行测量,观测到了238Th的β-衰变子体238Pa的635.0keV和1060.5keV2条γ射线峰的增长、衰变行为.利用分析递次衰变的计算机程序对其后一条进行了拟合,得到母、子体半衰期分别为(9.4±2.0)min和(2.1±0.4)min,二者分别与预言值和文献值相符.另外,在由238Pa的X射线开门的γ谱中,发现一条能量为89.0keV的新γ射线,经计算,其半衰期为(8.9±1.5)min,由跃迁能量和半衰期的关系认定该射线来源于238Th的β-衰变.从而证明本实验合成和鉴别了重丰中子新核素238Th,并测定它的半衰期为(9.4±2.0)min.
The natural uranium target was irradiated with 60MeV / u 18O ion beam provided by Lanzhou Heavy Ion Accelerator (HIRFL) and 238Th was generated by multi-nuclear transfer reaction. Thorium was isolated from a mixture of uranium and its reaction products by a rapid radiochemical separation technique. The γ (X) activity of the sample was measured using two HPGe detectors, and the growth and decay behavior of the γ-ray peaks at 635.0 keV and 1060.5 keV at 238 Pa of the 238Th β-decayed body was observed. The second one was fitted by the computer program which analyzed the successive decay, and the half-lives of the mother and the daughter were (9.4 ± 2.0) min and (2.1 ± 0.4) min, respectively In line with the predictive value and literature value. In addition, a new gamma ray with an energy of 89.0 keV was found in the γ spectrum of the door opened by 238 Pa, and its half-life was calculated to be (8.9 ± 1.5) min, calculated from the relationship between the transition energy and the half-life The ray was found to be derived from the 238Th beta-decay. Thus, we proved that 238Th of heavy heavy neutron neutron was synthesized and identified in this experiment and its half-life was (9.4 ± 2.0) min.
