  • 在中子发生器上开展了70 keV~250 keV能段的D-D聚变反应截面测量实验.本次实验使用了可同时对八个角度进行测量的靶室和氘代聚苯乙烯超薄靶,使用表面钝化粒子注入型(passivated implanted planar silicon, PIPS)半导体探测器测量聚变反应带电粒子产物,使用皮安表测量靶流,获得了70 keV~250 keV能段中六个能点上的D-D聚变反应实验室系微分截面.使用勒让德多项式对质心系微分截面进行拟合,通过总截面计算公式计算出总截面数据.基于本次实验获得的微分截面和总截面数据,与历史实验数据和ENDF/B-VIII.0数据库的评价数据进行了比较.通过总截面实验数据,计算出天体物理S函数,并与历史数据进行了比较.本工作进一步丰富了D-D聚变反应截面的实验数据,可以为标准大爆炸原子核合成理论(standard Big Bang nucleosynthesis,SBBN)的检验和聚变核参数数据评价提供更多的数据支持.本文数据集可在科学数据银行https://www.doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00213.00243中访问获取 (审稿阶段请通过私有访问链接查看https://www.scidb.cn/s/I3aumu) .

    According to the standard Big Bang nucleosynthesis theory (SBBN), in the first few minutes the light elements were produced in the primordial universe. Among these created light elements, the abundance of deuterium was considered as the best baryometer to check the SBBN model. For the 2H(d,p)3H and 2H(d,n)3He processes of deuterium, the SBBN relevant energies are from 50 keV to 350 keV. An experimental measurement of the D-D fusion cross-section was carried out at the neutron generator. The experimental energy range spanned from 70 keV to 250 keV, approximately approaching the minimum energy level of D+ beam of the neutron generator. A fusion reaction chamber with eight angles and a thin deuterated polystyrene target of 121 nm were used in the experiment. A high precision digital electrometer was employed to measure the current from the target. The differential cross-sections of six energies in the energy range were measured. The differential cross-section curves obtained in this experiment were compared with the results of Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The comparison results indicated that the reaction channel of 2H(d,n)3He in this experiment is effected by the scattering of beam ions, especially at the large angles. The Legendre polynomials were used to fit the experimental differential cross-sections, and the coefficients of the Legendre polynomials were obtained. According to the fitting results, the integral cross-sections of different energies were extracted. The integral cross-sections of different energies were compared with the historical experimental results, such as the data of W. R. Arnold obtained in the thin window gas target experiment, the results of different no-window gas target experiments of A. Krauss, R. E. Brown and U. Greife, and the data of D. S. Leonard with a deuterated carbon target. The ratios of historical experimental data to evaluation data of ENDF/B-VIII.0 database are calculated and analyzed. Detailed results are shown in the following figure. The results revealed that the evaluation data of ENDF/B-VIII.0 database is significantly affected by the data of R. E. Brown. Moreover, U. Greife's data is systematically larger than the evaluation data and Brown's data. Then calculations of the astrophysical S(E) function were performed on the historical experimental cross-section data, from which the corresponding results are shown in the figure below. In U. Greife's paper, the part of the S(E) values larger than the compilation curve of Bosch and Hale was explained as the electron screening effect. Based on the forgoing analysis, the electron screening effect in U. Greife's experiment maybe overestimated. Follow-up work will focus on the lower energy up to 10 keV and the higher energy up to 1.5 MeV at other accelerators, delivering stronger data backing for an accurate calculation of the reaction rates of SBBN model. The datasets presented in this paper, including a brief introduction to the experimental setup, the differential cross-section data and the integral cross-section data, are openly available at https://www.doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00213.00243(Please use the private access link https://www.scidb.cn/s/I3aumu to access the dataset during the peer review process)
