Due to the uncertainty effects of different chemical separation processes for removing 36S, there is a high degree of uncertainty in 36Cl accelerator mass spectrometry （AMS） measurements if the ratio of 36Cl/Cl is lower than 10-14. A 36Cl1 AMS higher sensitivity measurement has been set up by using a AE-Q3D method at the China Institute of Atomic Energy （CIAE）. The performances of AE-Q3D method for 36Cl-AMS measurement had been systemically studied. The experimental results show that the AE-Q3D method has a higher isobar suppression factor. Taking advantage of direct removing 36S, the sample preparation can be simplified and the uncertainty effects of different chemical separation processes can be reduced in 36Cl AMS measurements.展开更多

After a careful exploration of the contributions of the S11（1535）, P11（1710）, P13（1900）, S11（2090） and Pl,（2100） resonances, we conclude that either a subthreshold resonance or a broad P-wave state in the near threshold range seems to be indispensable to describe the present data of the πN→η′.Furthermore, at least one broad resonance above rl＇N threshold is preferred. With this detailed analysis, we give the invariant mass spectrum and Dalitz plot of the J/ψ →pqη′decay for the purpose of assisting the future detailed partial wave analysis. It is found that the J/ψ →pqη′ data are useful for disentangling the above or below threshold resonant contribution, though it still further needs the differential cross section data of πN→η′ to realize some of the resonant and non-resonant contribution.展开更多
