Abstract: The ion motions in a Penning trap have been studied in detail in the presence of azimuthal dipolar and quadrupolar radio-frequency excitations and buffer gas cooling. The numerical solutions by using the Runge-Kutta method and thus the pictures of the ion trajectories in the trap have been obtained for different cases and summarized in graphical form. For the recentering of the ion of interest and to perform the purification of the ion species, one has to set a reasonable buffer gas pressure in the trap and apply azimuthal quadrupolar excitation at frequency ωrf = ωc.

Abstract: The multinucleon transfer (MNT) reaction is one promising way to produce neutron-rich heavy nuclei and even super heavy nuclei and attracts more and more attentions theoretically and experimentally. A low energy nuclear structure spectrometer called LENSHIAF specific to the MNT reactions will be designed and constructed in the ongoing big project HIAF in China. In the LENSHIAF spectrometer, the most challenge part is how to collect and stop efficiently the high-energy MNT products into the gas cell. By using Monte-Carlo method, the geometry of the gas cell, the thickness of the titanium window/degrader, and the optimal gas pressure filled in the gas cell have been calculated and estimated. For neutron-rich nuclei around N=126 from 136Xe+198Pt reaction, with a titanium window/degrader with a thickness of 2.5–3.5 um, a cylindrical helium gas cell with a length of 0.6 m and a diameter of 1.2 m can satisfy the requirements to stop the target-like fragments. For heavier and super heavy nuclei from 238U+238U reaction, with a 5–8 um thick titanium window/degrader, the cylindrical gas cell has to be as big as a length of at least 1.6 m and a diameter of 1.6 m.

Abstract: A new method including two sub-procedures, global search and local refine, has been developed and presented to design a multiple-reflection time-of-flight (MRTOF) mass analyzer. By using this method, a different type of MRTOF mass analyzer, in which each mirror consists of five cylindrical electrodes, has been designed for isobaric separation for Lanzhou Penning Trap (LPT). The optimal potential parameters of the electrodes have been obtained and the maximal resolving power has been achieved to be 1.3x105 with a total time-of-flight of 6.5 ms for an ion species of 40Ar1+. The simulation shows the inaccuracy of the potentials applied to the mirror electrodes must be less than 50 ppm or preferably 20 ppm.
