The double differential cross section of emitting particles, the mass and charge distribution of the residual nuclei from proton-induced reaction on Pb-208 with incident energy 590 MeV and 322 MeV have been analyzed by the quantum molecular dynamics (QMD). The time scale of the change of reaction mechanism in the process of reaction is investigated. The reaction process can be divided into three-stages i.e.. the direct, the cascade and the evaporation stage with the corresponding time scale of about 100 fm/c, respectively.

By 22 MeV proton inelastic scattering at the forward angle of 10°, the orbital character of new low-lying M1 excitation states in 160Gd has been verified. At the same time, several new energy levels of 160Gd are observed, and values of spin, parity and deformation length for two new energy levels with excitation energies of 2.558 and 2.607 MeV are given via collective distorted wave Born approximation calculations.

High-energy γ-rays from the deexcitation of giant dipole resonance have been measured from the decay of compound nucleus 132Ce* formed by the 16O+116Sn reaction at an incident particle energy of 85.0 MeV of 16O. The γ-ray multiplicity distribution of this reaction is calibrated with a multiplicity filter composed of 14 hexagonal BGO crystals. The shape evolution of the 132Ce* has been studied as a function of spin. The results reveal that the deformation parameter of prolate 132Ce reduces when spin increases.
