被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.10(Nuclear Science & Technology)Gamma-ray strength function (GSF) as well as nuclear level density is important ingredients to calculate neutron capture cross sections, since it gives energy-dependent transition strength of gamma-rays from a capture state and directly relates to spectrum of emitted gamma-rays. Therefore, the improvement of GSF is essential to enhance the reliability of neutron capture cross sections. The shape of GSF has been determined by experiments of neutron capture reactions, (p,p') reactions and nuclear resonance fluorescence. In addition, the use of the information of gamma-ray spectrum (i.e., pulse-height (PH) spectrum) measured by time-of-flight experiments is effective to evaluate the GSF. A lot of PH spectra have been measured by the Ge and NaI(Tl) detectors of the ANNRI installed at the Material and Life Science Experimental Facility in J-PARC. However, those spectra have not been actively used to extract the information of GSF so far. In the present study, we measured the PH spectrum of gold by using the NaI(Tl) detectors in ANNRI and used it for the evaluation of GSF. The gamma-ray spectrum for gold was calculated by a nuclear reaction model code CCONE. The obtained gamma-ray spectrum was applied to the Monte Carlo particle transport simulation code PHITS to derive PH spectrum comparable with the measured data. After this evaluation, we obtained GSF, reasonably explained the measured PH spectrum.

To develop an imaging technique of neutron resonance thermometry with tantalum (Ta)-181, the neutron transmission spectrum for a tantalum foil (30 or 300 micro-meters in thickness) which was set up in a constant temperature furnace was measured by the time-of-flight method. Several temperature conditions were set from 20 to 500 degree Celsius. The measurements were performed on the BL10 of MLF at J-PARC. To cutoff neutrons below thermal neutron energy, a cadmium filter was inserted on the neutron beam line. The measured neutron transmission spectrum in the eV energy region was compared to the calculated one with the PHITS code. In the calculation, the time distribution of neutron emission from a source was defined as the pulse function of BL10. The evaluated nuclear data of ENDF/B-VIII.0 or JENDL-4.0 were utilized for each calculation with respect to the neutron-induced nuclear reactions of Ta-181. The differences of both results are discussed based on the measured spectra.

被引用回数:8 パーセンタイル:50.32(Physics, Nuclear)Time-of-flight spectra of the neutron capture events of Nd were measured using a spallation neutron source at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. The first six resonances of
Nd reported in a previous work were not observed. The experimental results and cross-search of resonance energies in nuclear data libraries suggested that resonances of impurity nuclide
Pr have been mistakenly assigned as
Nd in the previous experiment. To investigate the impact of non-existence of the resonances to the s-process nucleosynthesis model, the Maxwellian averaged neutron capture cross sections with and without the misassigned resonances were compared.

Recently, neutron shields of a large Ge detector array at the Accurate Neutron-Nucleus Reaction Measurement Instrument (ANNRI) in the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) were modified to suppress the background from boron rubber sheets to enriched LiF tiles. For the new experimental set-up, efficiencies and response functions of the cluster Ge detectors with the BGO anti-coincidence detectors were measured with
-rays from standard sources and prompt
-rays from the
Si(n,
) and
Cl(n,
) reactions. The simulation parameters were adjusted with the EGS5 code so as to reproduce the data set of efficiencies and response functions. Based on this information, a pulse height weighting function will be deduced in the energy range of 0.1-10 MeV.

被引用回数:19 パーセンタイル:75.79(Physics, Nuclear)Accurate determination of the neutron capture cross sections of radioactive nuclei is required in the fields of nuclear waste transmutation study and also nuclear astrophysics. The accurate neutron-nucleus reaction measurement instrument (ANNRI), which was installed in the materials and life science experimental facility (MLF) at the J-PARC, is expected to satisfy these demands. The capture cross section of Am was measured using a high efficiency Ge spectrometer installed in the ANNRI. By taking advantage of its high
-ray energy resolution, background components were precisely subtracted. The capture cross section of
Am was deduced for a neutron energy region between 0.01 and 20 eV. The obtained cross section and the Westcott factor are compared with the preceding experiments and evaluated values.

被引用回数:31 パーセンタイル:91.62(Instruments & Instrumentation)We studied the energy resolution of the pulsed neutron-beam of Accurate Neutron-Nucleus Reaction Measurement Instrument (ANNRI) at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex/Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (J-PARC/MLF). A simulation in the energy region from 0.7 meV to 1 MeV has been performed. Moreover, measurements have been done in the thermal and epithermal energies. The neutron energy resolution at ANNRI, which is determined by the time-of-flight technique, depends on the time structure of the neutron pulse. We obtained the neutron energy resolution as a function of the neutron energy by the simulation in the two operation modes of the neutron source: double and single bunch modes. In the double bunch mode, the resolution deteriorates above about 10 eV because the time structure of the neutron pulse splits into two peaks. The time structures at 13 energy points by measurements in the thermal energy region are in agreement with those of the simulation. In the epithermal energy region, the time structures at 17 energy points were obtained by measurements. The FWHM values of the time structures by the simulation and measurements are almost consistent. In the single bunch mode, the energy resolution is better than about 1% between 1 meV and 10 keV at the neutron source operation of 17.5 kW.
