  1. Common Nuclear Data Problems for Fission Cycling in r-process and Nuclear Energy S. Chiba JAEA

  2. Fission (cycling) in r-process nucleosynthesis • Discovery of Ｔｈ and Ｕ in metal poor stars • For realistic calculation of r-process nucleosynthesis • Is there a termination point?Where is that? • Possibility of SHE generation and discovery of its relics in meteorites • Impacts on universality (56≦Z≦75) • Impacts on nucleo-cosmochronometers • Th/Eu, U/Th, Th/Os,....

  3. 238U S=250 208Pb Supply to medium-weight region by fission, which is less sensitive to the physical conditions of r-process sites 132Sn Continuous flow from the bottom

  4. Regions where fissions take place in terms of KTUY05

  5. Competing processes in calculation of fission cycling • Spontaneous fission • Neutron-induced reactions • Neutron-capture and inverse reaction • Neutron-induced fission  FFMD • β-decay • β-delayed fission  FFMD • β-delayed neutron emission • ν-induced reactions • (ν,e-xn) reaction • (ν,f)  FFMD

  8. Dynamical network calculationTerasawa et al.,ApJ 562, 470(2001)originally from Prof. Meyer ?? • Reaction rates • Thielamann , Caughlan-Fowler, Maleney-Fowler, Fowler-Hoyle, Rauscher, Mohr, Wagoner, Kajino-Boyd, Orito-Kajino-Mathews, Kajino-Fukugita,Ohsaki, NACRE96 • Nuclear mass • Hilf-Groote-Takahashi (modified) KTUY05 (Prog. Theor. Phys. 305（2005 ）113) • β-decay rates • Klapdor GT-2 with KTUY05 mass, including 1n emission(2007) • ν-induced spallation rate (A(ν,e- xn)A') (x=0, 8) • Langanke (5 ≦ Z ≦100) with dumping • no fission mode ⇒β-delayed fission, spontanious fission(KTUY05) • α-decay (KTUY05 mass) • Data on expanding matter of SNeII : numerically read ⇒ exponential model

  10. Entropy-dependence of r-process abundance

  11. β-delayed fission：Bf-dependence

  13. FFMD (Konan model):248Cm, 236U

  14. β-delayed fission：FFMD-dependence

  15. Jπ-dependence of CN decay β-decay, ν-反応 TS-1 TS-2 Jπ En Tn Tγ target Ex Bn Bfi Bfo PES Compound deformation (elongation)

  18. Fission Probability • Very strong Jπ-dependence • No-experimental evidence • How can we verify it？ • Various projectile？(d, 3He, 18O)

  19. Level density on the saddle • How to verify it？

  20. Nuclear Structure Effects：SRM-CC • 238U + n • Coupling scheme : G.S. band (0+ - 2+ - 4+ - 6+ - 8+)+4 side bands • Soft Roator Model prediction of coupling strengths • OMP : E.S. Soukhovitsij, S. Chiba et al., J. Phys. G. 30, 905-920(2004). (coupled-levels)

  21. Effects of low-lying levels on reaction c.s. G.S. Band

  25. Resonances

  26. Effects of resonances on MACS

  27. Summary • There are many ambiguities in calculation of β-delayed fission rates, neutron-induced fission rates necessary for fission cycling • Fission barriers, level density (especially at the saddle), their Jπ-dependence, FFMD, deformation parameters and GDR parameters • Neutron binding energies affect the relative magnitude of DSD and HF cross sections • DSD c.s. is sensitive to the presence and energies of the p-states • Nuclear structure (low-lying levels) is important for reaction c.s. calculation
