1.3, 2.2および3.0GeVの陽子入射によるMnおよびCoの核種生成断面積を放射化法によりJ-PARCで測定した。Mn(p,X)S, Mn(p,X)Ar、およびCo(p,X)Sの生成断面積を世界で初めて取得した。安定した陽子ビームと確立されたビームモニタにより、系統的不確かさを典型的に5%以下に低減することができ、過去のデータよりも優れたものとなった。核破砕反応モデルと評価済み核データライブラリの予測精度の検証のため、測定データをPHITSの核破砕反応モデル(INCL4.6/GEM, Bertini/GEM, JAM/GEM)、INCL++/ABLA07、およびJENDL/HE-2007ライブラリの断面積と比較した。平均二乗偏差係数の比較により、INCL4.6/GEMとJENDL/HE-2007は他のモデルよりも実測データとのよい一致を示すことがわかった。

Nuclide production cross sections for proton-induced reactions on Mn and Co at incident energies of 1.3, 2.2, and 3.0 GeV were measured by the activation method at the J-PARC. In total, 143 production cross sections of reaction products were obtained. Among them, the cross sections of Mn(p,X)S and Mn(p,X)Ar were measured for the first time. The stable proton beam and well established beam monitoring system contributed to the reduction of the systematic uncertainties to typically less than 5%, which was better than those of the previous data. To examine the prediction capabilities of spallation reaction models and evaluated data library, the measured data were compared with the spallation reaction models in PHITS (INCL4.6/GEM, etc.), INCL++/ABLA07, and the JENDL/HE-2007 library. The comparison of the mean square deviation factors indicated that both INCL4.6/GEM and JENDL/HE-2007 showed better agreement with the measured data than the others.
