Abstract

A specific objective of the recent IAEA Coordinated Research Project on Photonuclear Data and Photon Strength Functions (Code F41032; Duration 2016-2019) has been to measure photonuclear cross-section data where needed, for unexplored nuclei and cases of discrepant existing data. A dedicated experimental campaign has been conducted at the laser Compton-scattering γ-ray source of the NewSUBARU synchrotron radiation facility of SPring8, Japan, where photoneutron reactions for 11 nuclei from 9 Be to 209 Bi have been investigated in the Giant Dipole Resonance energy region. The measurements followed the development of a flat-effi ciency moderated neutron detection array and the associated neutron-multiplicity sorting techniques. The IAEA CRP campaign has been followed at NewSUBARU by new measurements of photofission and photoneutron reactions on 238 U and 232 Th in the energy range of 5.87 MeV – 20.14 MeV. The neutron-multiplicity sorting of high-multiplicity fission neutron coincidence events has been performed using a dedicated energy dependent, multiple firing statistical treatment. The photoneutron (γ, x n) and photofission (γ, f x n) reactions have been discriminated by considering a Gaussian distribution of prompt-fission-neutrons (PFN) multiplicities predicted by the evaporation theory. We here provide preliminary experimental (γ, n), (γ, 2n) and (γ, F) cross sections, average energies of PFN and of photoneutrons emitted in (γ, n) and (γ, 2n) reactions, as well as the mean number of PFN per fission act. The new 238 U cross sections are compared with recent statistical-model calculations performed with the EMPIRE code on existing data.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
