Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:83.53(Astronomy & Astrophysics)Detailed -ray spectroscopy of the exotic neon isotope Ne has been performed using the one-neutron removal reaction from Ne. Based on an analysis of parallel momentum distributions, a level scheme with spin-parity assignments has been constructed for Ne and the negative-parity states are identified for the first time. The measured partial cross sections and momentum distributions reveal a significant intruder p-wave strength providing evidence of the breakdown of the N = 20 and N = 28 shell gaps. Only a weak, possible f-wave strength was observed to bound final states. Large-scale shell-model calculations with different effective interactions do not reproduce the large p-wave and small f-wave strength observed experimentally, indicating an ongoing challenge for a complete theoretical description of the transition into the island of inversion along the Ne isotopic chain.

A concept of a plutonium burner HTGR named as Clean Burn, which has a high nuclear proliferation resistance, had been proposed by Japan Atomic Energy Agency. In addition to the high nuclear proliferation resistance, in order to enhance the safety, we propose to introduce PuO-YSZ TRISO fuel with ZrC coating to the Clean Burn. In this study, we conduct fabrication tests aiming to establish the basic technologies for fabrication of PuO-YSZ TRISO fuel with ZrC coating. Additionally, we conduct a quantitative evaluation of the security for the safety, a design of the fuel and the reactor core, and a safety evaluation for the Clean Burn to confirm the feasibility. This study is conducted by The University of Tokyo, Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Fuji Electric Co., Ltd., and Nuclear Fuel Industries, Ltd. It was started in FY2014 and will be completed in FY2017, and the first year of the implementation was on schedule.

The Periodic Safety Review of TRP is assessment of the validity of safety activities in order to get assurance for continuous operation by adding effective items to extract and to execute for TRP safety. We performed 4 items; for (1) evaluation of safety activity at TRP, as we confirmed organization was ordered and managed. For (2) evaluation of status of safety activities reflecting the latest knowledge, we confirmed improvement of safety was continued adequately reflecting from the experience for safety. For (3) technical review on aging for the safety related structures, systems and components, we evaluated the guaranty of safety under assumption of continuous maintenance till the next Periodic Safety Review. For (4) establishment of long term maintenance program, we found no additional activities into maintenance programs, however, for several installations we established a plan and utilized them for reliability.

We present the inverse slope parameter, mean transverse momentum, and yield per unit rapidity at each energy, and compare them to other measurements at different collisions. We also present the scaling properties such as and scaling and discuss the mechanism of the particle production in collisions. The measured spectra are compared to next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations.

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:49.6(Physics, Nuclear)Measurements of electrons from the decay of open-heavy-flavor mesons have shown that the yields are suppressed in Au+Au collisions compared to expectations from binary-scaled collisions. Here we extend these studies to two particle correlations where one particle is an electron from the decay of a heavy flavor meson and the other is a charged hadron from either the decay of the heavy meson or from jet fragmentation. These measurements provide more detailed information about the interaction between heavy quarks and the quark-gluon matter. We find the away-side-jet shape and yield to be modified in Au+Au collisions compared to collisions.

In the study, simulations of landform development and groundwater flow have been carried out in the Tono area in order to provide a method to evaluate the effects of long term topographic and climatic changes on groundwater flow conditions. Results of the simulations show the influence of the topographic and climatic perturbations on hydraulic gradient and groundwater velocity. In particular, the influence on hydraulic gradient downstream of the faults normal to the major direction of groundwater flow is much smaller than in the area upstream of the faults. Through this study, it has been confirmed that the method of combining simulations of landform development with groundwater flow is useful for the evaluation of effects of topographic and climatic perturbations on groundwater flow conditions.

For the development of a simple and rapid analytical method for actinides (Thorium, Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium, Americium and Curium) in radioactive wastes, capillary electrophoresis-laser -induced fluorescence detecting method (CE-LIF) was studied. In this research, newly synthesized eight probes whose chelating group were acyclic or macrocyclic were applied to the detection of actinides using CE-LIF. As a result, Thorium and Uranium were successfully detected and separated from other actinide ions applied to octadenate acyclic probe and tetradenate planer probe, respectively. Neptunium was detected using hexadenate or heptadenate probes whose chelating groups were acyclic or macrocyclic. Plutonium was detected applied to hexadenate or octadenate acyclic probes. Americium and Curium were detected applied to seven probes except for tetradenate planer probe.
