被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：0.00(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We investigated decays of 
K at the ISOLDE Decay Station at CERN in order to understand the mechanism of the -delayed neutron-emission (n) process. The experiment quantified neutron and 
-ray emission paths for each precursor. We used this information to test the hypothesis, first formulated by Bohr in 1939, that neutrons in the n process originate from the structureless "compound nucleus". The data are consistent with this postulate for most of the observed decay paths. The agreement, however, is surprising because the compound-nucleus stage should not be achieved in the studied decay due to insufficient excitation energy and level densities in the neutron emitter. In the 
K n decay, we found a preferential population of the first excited state in 
Ca that contradicted Bohr's hypothesis. The latter was interpreted as evidence for direct neutron emission sensitive to the structure of the neutron-unbound state. We propose that the observed nonstatistical neutron emission proceeds through the coupling with nearby doorway states that have large neutron-emission probabilities. The appearance of "compound-nucleus" decay is caused by the aggregated small contributions of multiple doorway states at higher excitation energy.

被引用回数：4 パーセンタイル：40.37(Physics, Multidisciplinary)重陽子は弱束縛系でありクーロン力と核力の下で容易に陽子と中性子に分解する。これまでの実験からは、核子当たり50から200MeVといった高入射エネルギーではこの分解過程が残留核生成に大きな影響を与えることが示されている。しかし、核子当たり50MeV以下のエネルギーでの断面積データはまだ不足している。本研究では、BigRIPSセパレータ、OEDOビームライン、SHARAQスぺクトロメータを用いて、Zr+d反応断面積を核子当たり約28MeVにおいて逆運動学法を用いて測定した。本研究で得られた断面積を過去の測定結果や理論計算と比較した。重陽子の分解の効果を定量的に考慮したDEURACS計算により実験データがよく再現された。本研究で測定された低エネルギー領域におけるデータは、将来の核廃棄物処理施設の検討に役立つと考えられる。

被引用回数：8 パーセンタイル：80.53(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The changes in mean-squared charge radii of neutron-deficient gold nuclei have been determined using the in-source, resonance-ionization laser spectroscopy technique, at the ISOLDE facility (CERN). From these new data, nuclear deformations are inferred, revealing a competition between deformed and spherical configurations. The isotopes 
Au are observed to possess well-deformed ground states and, when moving to lighter masses, a sudden transition to near-spherical shapes is seen in the extremely neutron deficient nuclides, 
Au. A case of shape coexistence and shape staggering is identified in 
Au which has a ground and isomeric state with different deformations. These new data reveal a pattern in ground-state deformation unique to the gold isotopes, whereby, when moving from the heavy to light masses, a plateau of well-deformed isotopes exists around the neutron midshell, flanked by near-spherical shapes in the heavier and lighter isotopes-a trend hitherto unseen elsewhere in the nuclear chart. The experimental charge radii are compared to those from Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations using the D1M Gogny interaction and configuration mixing between states of different deformation. The calculations are constrained by the known spins, parities, and magnetic moments of the ground states in gold nuclei and show a good agreement with the experimental results.

被引用回数：9 パーセンタイル：61.95(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The J-PARC Main Ring (MR) has supplied the high-intensity proton beam for the T2K long- baseline neutrino experiment since 2010. The present beam power is 510 kW and the total number of protons on the target reaches 3.64
10
. To observe charge-conjugation and parity- transformation (CP) violation in the lepton sector with high accuracy, more protons need to be delivered to the T2K target. The project to upgrade the beam power to 1.3 MW started as a mid-term plan of the MR. In parallel to preparing a full technical design report, the technical designs of hardware upgrades using new technologies and all accelerator components that are necessary to deliver the 1.3 MW beam power are summarized and consolidated in this short paper. Further, this paper includes beam dynamics studies and simulation results for handling 3.310
protons per pulse without significant beam loss in the ring and transport lines.

被引用回数：12 パーセンタイル：51.08(Engineering, Electrical & Electronic)We are developing a new technique to apply transition-edge sensors (TESs) to X-ray spectroscopy of exotic atoms, especially of kaonic atoms. To demonstrate the feasibility of this pioneering project, performance of a TES-based X-ray detector was evaluated in pion- and kaon-beam environments at particle accelerators. We successfully observed X-rays from pionic-carbon atoms with a resolution as good as 7 eV FWHM at 6 keV. Also at a kaon beamline, we confirmed that the TES spectrometer will be able to achieve our resolution goal, 6 eV, in our first scientific campaign to measure X-rays from kaonic-helium atoms.

We are developing a new technique to study the strong interaction between a hadron and an atomic nucleus: high-resolution TES-based X-ray spectroscopy of hadronic atoms. The strong interaction induces a shift and broadening of the atomic energy levels from their purely electromagnetic values. Thus, precise measurements of the X-ray-emission lines of a hadronic atom can reveal the hadron-nucleus strong interaction at zero kinetic energy. Presently, we are preparing to measure the 
-
X-ray lines of kaonic helium-3 and helium-4 (6.2 keV and 6.4 keV, respectively) at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC; Tokai, Japan). If we determined the strong-force shift in the helium 2p orbital to a precision of 0.2 eV, we could distinguish between the two leading antikaon-nucleus strong-interaction models. Here, we plan to use a 240-pixel TES array of about 23 mm
collecting area with 4 
m thick Bi absorbers. Our project represents the first attempt to use a TES-based X-ray spectrometer in a charged-particle beamline, and we have identified some challenges: (1) energy resolution is deteriorated by charged-particle passages; (2) a continuum background in the X-ray spectrum is generated by charged particles; (3) the science X-ray yield is expected to be very low, at 200 counts per week for the kaonic-helium-atom experiment. Here we present the status of our project.
