摘要: The neutron induced reactions on stable Carbon, Nitrogen, and Oxygen isotopes are investigated by using the Talys1.4 toolkit with the default parameters. The neutron incident energy covers a range from 0.20 MeV to 85.00 MeV. For 12C and 14N, the Talys1.4 results agree with the experimental data, while the parameters should be adjusted for 16O. Some En windows are found by comparing the main channels of n + C/N/O reactions, which induce element change. In these En windows, a specific element is activated to a different one while leaving the other element atoms unchanged. The results will facilitate the research of doping effects in organic materials by using neutron activation technique.

摘要: In radiotherapy, the energy of the rays used could be larger than 10 MeV, which would potentially activate stable nucleus into a radioactive one. The induced reactions on some of the human essential elements are studied to show the probability of changes of nuclei. The Talys1.4 toolkit was adopted as the theoretical model for calculation. The reactions investigated include the (, n) and (, p) channels for the stable Na, Mg, Cl, K, Ca, and Fe isotopes, with the incident energy of ranging from 1 to 30 MeV. It was found that the cross sections for the reactions are very low, and the maximum cross section is no larger than 100 mb. By considering the threshold energy of the channel, the half-life time of the residue nucleus, and the percentage of the element accounting for the weight and its importance in the body, it is suggested to track the radioactive nuclei 22Na, 41Ca, and 42,43K after therapy. The results might be useful for medical diagnosis and disease treatment.

摘要: Context : Understanding the mechanisms that launch and shape powerful relativistic jets from supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in high-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGN) is crucial for probing the co-evolution of SMBHs and galaxies over cosmic time. Aims :We study the high-redshift ($z=3.396$) blazar OH~471 to explore the jet launching mechanism in the early Universe. Methods : Using multi-frequency radio monitoring observations and high-resolution Very Long Baseline Interferometry imaging over three decades, we study the milliarcsecond structure and long-term variability of OH~471. Results : Spectral modelling of the radio flux densities reveals a synchrotron self-absorbed spectrum indicating strong magnetic fields within the compact core. By applying the flux freezing approximation, we estimate the magnetic flux carried by the jet and find that it reaches or exceeds theoretical predictions for jets powered by black hole spin energy via the Blandford-Znajek mechanism. This implies that OH~471 was in a magnetically arrested disk (MAD) state where the magnetic flux accumulated near the horizon regulates the accretion flow, allowing efficient extraction of black hole rotational energy. Conclusions : Our study demonstrates the dominance of MAD accretion in powering the prominent radio flares and relativistic jets observed in the radio-loud AGN OH~471 and statistical studies of large samples of high-redshift AGN will shed light on the role of MAD accretion in launching and accelerating the earliest relativistic jets.
