研究用原子炉JRR-3に設置されている高分解能中性子粉末回折装置HRPDは、原子力機構の発足に伴って広く一般ユーザーに開放され、その高精度,操作性,結晶構造解析の重要性の認識などにより、幅広い分野で利用されている。本発表では本装置の現状や得られた成果について報告する。

High Resolution Powder Diffractometer (HRPD) at the neutron beam line of the Japan Research Reactor-3, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) is a versatile general purpose powder diffractometer for a wide field of structural studies. According to the basis of the section of "Utilization of Radiation" in JAEA's commission "Framework for Nuclear Energy Policy", the HRPD has widely opened for user visitors since the establishment of JAEA in October 2005. Because of high quality, easy operation, and a large number of demands for the determination of the crystal structures, the HRPD become one of the most active spectrometers in JRR-3. In this presentation, the details of the current status and topics of the HRPD will be reported.
