被引用回数:0In spontaneous fission (SF) it is found that the mass-asymmetric fission of well-known actinides suddenly changes to the symmetric fission when nucleus has a mass number larger than 257. We have measured for the first time fission-fragment mass and total-kinetic-energy (TKE) distributions of the excited compound nucleus
Md, populated in the reaction
He+
Es, using the rare isotope
Es with a short half-life,
=276 days. The fission of
Md can be interpreted as involving 3 fission modes: an mass-asymmetric mode and two modes of mass-asymmetric fissions, the latter two are manifested by different TKE values. Predominantly symmetric fission was obtained at the excitation energy of 15.0 MeV. By increasing the energy to 18.0 MeV, the asymmetric fission mode dominates. Both such a strong change of fission modes within a small increase of excitation energy and the enhancement of asymmetric split are new phenomena in fission.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Engineering, Electrical & Electronic)We proposed a novel superconducting detector called the current-biased kinetic inductance detector (CB-KID) for constructing a neutron transmission imager. We systematically studied the characteristics of the CB-KID to improve spatial resolution down to 10 m in transmission imaging. By analyzing neutron transmission spectra from 1 meV to 500 keV, we identified copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) as major components in commercial nuts and screws. Additionally, we successfully mapped the distribution of the SmSn
compound using selective energy regions of pulsed neutrons and the CB-KID detector. It can reveal transmission spectra across a wide range of energies, from cold-neutron energies (meV) to higher neutron energies (up to 500 keV).

We optimized the design and operating conditions of our superconducting neutron detector to improve spatial resolution. We obtained the best spatial resolution of 10 m when a Gd Siemens star pattern was mounted at close contact with the detector in the cryostat. We compared the effect of a different sample-detector distance on a spatial resolution when the samples were placed either at cryogenic temperature or at room temperature. We found the appearance of clear Bragg dips by the measurements of natural FeS
single crystals and succeeded in mapping the distribution of differently-oriented crystals by choosing several Bragg dips of the FeS
crystals to compose the transmission images.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Physics, Applied)We built a new cryostat to apply a current-biased kinetic inductance detector (CB-KID) for conducting neutron transmission imaging of room temperature samples under pulsed neutrons. A Wood's metal alloy of melting temperature 75.2C was placed at room temperature to inspect the measurement system at J-PARC. Since one of the four phases of Wood's metal is a fine Cd-rich needle phase (width

飛騨山脈黒部地域には、世界一若い露出プルトンである黒部川花崗岩体を含め、10-0.8Maの若い深成岩体が複数露出する。深成岩体が一般に地下数km以深で形成されることを考えると、削剥速度は数mm/yrないしそれ以上に達する可能性がある。しかし、これらの若い岩体の貫入やこれに伴う熱水活動等の熱擾乱のため、熱年代法による、冷却史に基づく削剥史の復元は簡単ではない。本研究では、地熱条件に依らない削剥評価のため、主に鮮新世から第四紀の深成岩体の固結年代と固結深度から、黒部地域の削剥史の復元を試みた。固結年代はジルコンU-Pb年代測定法、固結深度はAl-in-Hbl地質圧力計により推定した。計14試料から固結年代と固結深度のペアを得た結果、固結深度は約6-10kmでほぼ均一で、東西及び南北のいずれにも系統的な変化を示さなかった。この結果は、黒部-高瀬川破砕帯の東側の断層ブロックが、東に傾動したと考える従来のモデルとは不調和である。固結深度と固結年代のプロットから復元された削剥史は、約5.5-0.8Maにはほとんど削剥が起こらず、それ以降の時代に平均で約7-14mm/yrの急速な削剥が起こったことを示した。この結果は、ダム堆砂量や宇宙線生成核種法から推定された数十から数千年程度の侵食速度や、約1Ma以降に信濃大町方面で黒部地域からの花崗岩礫の供給が急増したことと矛盾しない。0.8Ma以降の黒部地域の急速な隆起・削剥の原因としては、東西圧縮応力の発現以降、黒部地域の地温が高い領域に沿って変位・変形が局在化した可能性が考えられ、現在、レオロジーと地温構造を考慮した変形シミュレーションによる検証を進めている。

被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:43.78(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Recent progress in high-power pulsed neutron sources has stimulated the development of the Bragg dip and Bragg edge analysis methods using a two-dimensional neutron detector with high temporal resolution to resolve the neutron energy by the time-of-flight method. A delay-line current-biased kinetic inductance detector (CB-KID) is a two-dimensional superconducting sensor with a high temporal resolution and multi-hit capability. Here, it is demonstrated that a delay-line CB-KID with a B neutron conversion layer can be applied to high-spatial-resolution neutron transmission imaging and spectroscopy up to 100 eV. Dip structures are observed in the transmission spectra of YbSn
single crystals, induced by Bragg diffraction and nuclear resonance absorption. The orientation mapping of YbSn
crystals is successfully drawn based on the analysis of observed Bragg dip positions in the transmission spectra.

被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:14.64(Geosciences, Multidisciplinary)Solidification pressure conditions and U-Pb zircon ages were determined and compared between mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs) and their host granite from two sample localities in the Kurobegawa Granite (Hida Mountain Range, central Japan). The ages for MMEs tend to be younger than the host granites, although they overlap within uncertainty. In both lithologies, zircon occurs as the matrix mineral and as inclusions in plagioclase rims. Meanwhile, only in the host granites, zircon also occurs as early phases in plagioclase cores. Such differences in mode of occurrence of zircon suggest that the age variation reflects the difference in the timing of zircon crystallization between the MMEs and the host granites. Therefore, the MMEs record the same solidification pressures as the host granites and better represent the final solidification timing of the Kurobegawa Granite.

We demonstrated the CB-KID could be used to identify (1) tiny voids in a thermally sprayed continuous GdO
film in and (2) various mosaic morphologies and different eutectic microstructures in Wood's metal samples. The fact that the CB-KID system could be used to identify features of samples with a wide distribution of sizes and thicknesses is promising for real application of the device for imaging samples of interest to material scientists. Operating the CB-KID at higher temperatures appreciably improved the efficiency for simultaneously identifying the X and Y positions of hotspots. We also compared the detection efficiency with the PHITS simulations. We now plan to improve the detection efficiency by increasing the thickness of the
B neutron conversion layer

To realize the reasonable and effective maintenance of nuclear power plants, it is essential to optimize the maintenance scheduling management from the viewpoints of both safety and efficiency. As a fundamental study, we propose an inspection-process-scheduling model that minimizes the total number of inspections in a fast reactor. In this study, we formulate the inspection-process-scheduling problem as an integer programming problem. Computing the inspection-process schedules for a simplified fast reactor plant model, we verified that the proposed model can provide the optimal schedule automatically.

We examined the precise pattern of a B-dot-array absorber and found the X-direction pitch (Px) = 250.7 um with a scatter of (Hx)= 5.4 um and the Y-direction pitch (Py)= 249.1 um with a scatter of (Hy)= 3.4 um while the
B dot array was fully extended toward the X direction across the detector sensitive area. We consider that this demonstrates detection with good spatial homogeneity and conclude. The transmission-imaging system is suitable for use at pulsed neutron facilities. We also reported a clear transmission image of tiny screws and nuts, and ladybug (insect). We recognize that further efforts to improve the detection efficiency are necessary to make using the detector more practical.

被引用回数:10 パーセンタイル:41.84(Metallurgy & Metallurgical Engineering)To investigate the characteristics of dislocation evolution in ferritic and austenitic stainless steels under tensile deformation, neutron diffraction line-profile analysis was carried out. The austenitic steel exhibited higher work hardening than the ferritic steel. The difference in the work hardening ability between the two steels was explained with the dislocation density estimated by the line-profile analysis. The higher dislocation density of the austenitic steel would originate from its lower stacking fault energy. Dislocation arrangement parameters indicated that the strength of interaction between dislocations in the austenitic steel was stronger than that in the ferritic steel.
