INTRODUCTION Photodisintegration reactions of light nuclei are interesting in nuclear physics. At low energies they give information about few-nucleon systems behav- ior and upper states of nuclei in the giant reso- nance area [1]. Photonuclear reactions are caused by the well known electromagnetic interactions. That’s why their investigation gives important information about fundamental properties of nuclear forces, such as nucleon-nucleon interactions and exchange meson currents for nuclear physics [2]. Investigation of lithium and beryllium isotopes in- teraction at low energies is important for understand- ing of certain astrophysics and inner stars structure problems [3]. But experimental investigation of their interactions at low energies is difficult. That’s why reverse reactions, such as photodisintegration of nu- clei with listed isotopes generation, are useful for un- derstanding of existent processes. Photonuclear re- actions are important factor in nuclear fusion and astrophysical processes [3, 4]. The monitoring of radionuclide content in near- ground atmospheric shell is an important part of in- formation about nuclear reactions. 7Be short-lived isotope gives significant contribution in air radioac- tivity. It is considered that in the atmosphere 7Be generates in reactions of cosmogenic and solar pro- ton and neutron interaction with nitrogen and oxy- gen nuclei[5]. But it is shown in paper [6], that pho- tonuclear reactions, which were not considered until now mainly because of a lack of experimental data in the literature, can give significant contribution into 7Be isotope generation. 7Be nucleus is interesting not only from the perspective of its radioactive influ- ence on the biological systems, but as an indicator of a pollutants accumulation by environment. In this paper the results of research findings of photodisintegration reaction of 14N nucleus with 7Li and 7Be in the final state are shown. 2. EXPERIMENTAL METHOD Experiment was held on a diffusion chamber, placed in the 15 kOe magnetic field, exposed with bremsstrahlung from Kharkov 300MeV electron lin- ear accelerator with 150MeV peak energy. The chamber filled with 15% nitrogen with helium mix- ture at pressure of 2 at. Nitrogen nucleus photodis- integration event was separated visually with ease. Low pressure in the chamber and target and detec- tor matching made possible to investigate reactions of nitrogen photodisintegration basically from reaction threshold. The reactions with two particles in the final state were selected for studying. The conclu- sion about particle stopping in the working space of the chamber and about that fact if its mass is heav- ier than deuteron mass was made by track density changing. The reactions of two-particle photodisin- tegration of nucleus listed below are matching these criteria: γ + 14N → 7Li+ 7Be , (1) γ + 14N → 4He+ 10B , (2) γ + 14N → 3He+ 11B , (3) γ + 14N → 3H + 11C . (4) Only in the fourth reaction tritium ran out the work- ing space of the chamber, all products of the other reactions stopped in the chamber. ∗Corresponding author E-mail address: rumurtazin@gmail.com ISSN 1562-6016.

Series: Nuclear Physics Investigations (63), p.31-34. 31 The reaction was considered as two-particle one if the ions and γ-quantum momentums were situated in the same plane. An angle of the tracks coinci- dence with the plane was measured with 10◦ accu- racy for every event. An event was rejected if this angle was above 15◦. Since light ions have differ- ent energies, then it is impossible to identify them by ionization. Width and density of the heavy ions tracks almost didn’t distinguish from those parame- ters of the light ions. Calculations show that in the reactions 2...4 a light ion with any γ-quantum energy and outlet angle has longer track. In the first reac- tion the path of the 7Li ion is shorter then the pass of the 7Be ion at γ-quantum energy less than 2MeV above reaction threshold and at outlet angle greater than 90◦. The main criteria for reaction identification were track length data, scaled to the standard con- ditions. During scaling it is also changes of density of the mixed gases because of temperature changes with increasing the distance between track and me- dian plane counted. An obtained value was called track path length. Because of different charges and masses of ions, it would be excepted a difference in track path lengths ratio η in the reactions. With assumption that all events refer to the first reaction there was distribu- tion of η calculated. For this purpose the kinetic en- ergy and the absolute value of momentum of the first ion was defined from its path using path-to-energy relation tables. The momentum direction in space was defined from the track coordinates. Since the reaction is two-particle one, then the γ-quantum en- ergy and the kinematical parameters of the second ion was calculated using the parameters of the first one. From the kinetic energy of the second ion it is possible to get its path and calculate the value of η On Fig.1 events distribution from η is shown with filled circles. Thus if η is lower 2.5, then an event concerns to the first reaction. Com- paring experimentally measured η and calculated one it is possible to determine the first reaction. 0 2 4 6 8 10 0 400 800 1200 N Fig.1. Number of events distribution versus η The filled triangles show the second reaction events distribution. The distribution begins at η value greater then 2.5 and continues till 7.0. The distribu- tion for the third reaction is shown empty circles. It begins at η greater 2.5 and lasts till 8.0. The events of the second and the third reactions are situated in this interval. Comparing experimentally measured η and calculated one it is possible to determine these reactions. The curve with empty triangles shows the fourth reaction distribution. 3H ion is single-charged therefore it has much longer path then 3He ion with the same energy. Therefore the curve starts at η = 6 and lasts till η = 30. An event considered identificated, if the measured ratio matched with calculated one within the limits of errors. But because of measurement errors of path lengths of heavy ions, the ratio comparison not al- ways gave an opportunity to identificate the reaction. That’s why the other data were used. The length of the short measured track with its calculated value was compared. It is possible to determine γ-quantum energy from the parameters of each ion. For each one of the four reactions the difference δE = E1−E2 was calculated, where E1 is a γ-quantum energy, deter- mined from the longer track, and E2 is from the short one. The lowest value of δE determined the reaction, if the previous two criteria didn’t allow doing this. Diffusion chamber was placed in the magnetic field. Momentum, which is defined from track’s cur- vature, is an average of its length. Its compari- son with an average momentum determined by path, helps to identificate reaction if the track path length is enough. Because of ion recharge with medium, the ion charge is decreasing. According to tables [7] the proton and ion path length ratio at equal kinetic en- ergy is greater on one nucleon then 5MeV equal to A/z2, where A – atomic number of the ion, z – its charge. Ion path increasing comparing to A/z2 mul- tiplied proton path at low energies of ion can be ex- plained by ion charge decreasing. Paths ratio allowed determining coefficients of charge decreasing for all ions. They don’t have much changes with energy and on average is equal to 0.85 and 0.71 respectively for helium and lithium ions at energies to 2MeV . The charge decreasing is considered in momentum deter- mination by track curvature. Path-energy relation [7] for light ions was exam- ined by comparing with the experimental data and the data from literature. Energy of heavy ions was determined from light ions data. An energy depen- dence form path length changing was plotted. A sat- isfactory correlation of dependence with data was ob- tained [7] at energies up to 2MeV . An error of a track length measurement is 0.025 cm, of a noncomplanar angle 10◦, of a polar angle of the long tracks 1.0◦ and 2.0◦ for short tracks. 3. THE RESULTS OF THE EXPERIMENT The γ-quantum energy was determined from kine- matical parameters of the light ion, which were mea- sured with the better accuracy due to longer track. 32 The events considered to the first reaction were dis- tributed by the γ-quantum energy. The histograms with 1MeV step were plotted. All results are rep- resented with points, placed in the middle of a step. Errors are statistical. In order to get full cross-section a calculated γ-quantum spectrum was taken. It has a shiff form. A soft component was removed by the beryllium filter with 2.5 radiation unit length. Full cross-section dependence versus energy is shown on Fig.2. Near threshold the cross-section is increasing rapidly, then it is decreasing smoothly with energy. This reaction cross-section didn’t measured earlier.

The differential cross-section The angle cross-section dependence is not isotropic an it has a distinct asymmetry relative to 90◦, which is caused by electrical quadrupole transi- tion contribution. The total cross-section dependence with respect to the polar angle θ approximated with function: dσ/dΩ = a+ b · sin2 θ + c · sin2 θ cos θ As the result, the coefficients were obtained: a = 2.2± 1.1, b = 3.8± 1.7, c = 5.9± 2.4. 4. THE RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS In paper [8] aluminum nitride targets, con- tained 0.3 g/cm2 of nitrogen, were radiated with bremsstrahlung from electrons with energies 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90MeV . The converter was a tan- talum bars with total thickness 4mm. The expo- sure lasted for 12.5 hours with 1mkA current. The bremsstrahlung spectrum was calculated for every energy using electron transmission through the con- verter and the target modeling. The target activ- ity, corresponded to unstable 7Be nuclei disintegra- tion from unknown reactions 14N(γ, X)7Be for all six electron energies, was measured. Using the reaction 14N(γ,7 Li)7Be cross-section and the bremsstrahlung spectra for each electron en- ergy, the number of 7Be nuclei N0 was obtained, which were generated in the target at the time of each exposition. The number of 7Be nuclei, which are disintegrating per second N = λN0e −λt, where λ = ln2/T0, half-life period T0 = 53.3 days. Since t≪T0, then e−λt≈1, and the activity of the target N = λN0. At energy of the electrons 40MeV the calculated activity is 2.4 kBq, which is 2.5 times as much as experimental value. Calcu- lated activity versus electron energy dependence is shown with solid curve in Fig.4. The points shows the results of activity measurements in paper [8]. The curve is normalized on the first point. The increasing disagreement with energy testifies that 14N(γ,7 Li)7Be is not single photonuclear reaction on nitrogen, in which 7Be nucleus is generation. 40 50 60 70 80 90 0 3 6 9 12 15 A ct iv ity , k B q Ee, MeV Fig.4. 7Be activity Authors express their sincere gratitude to O.S.Deiev and B.I.
