In the Best-Estimate Plus Uncertainty (BEPU) framework, the use of best-estimate code requires to go through a Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification process (VVUQ). The relevance of the experimental data in relation to the physical phenomena of interest in the VVUQ process is crucial. Adequacy analysis of selected experimental databases addresses this problem. The outcomes of the analysis can be used to select a subset of relevant experimental data, to encourage designing new experiments or to drop some experiments from a database because of their substantial lack of adequacy. The development of a specific transparent and reproducible approach to analyze the relevance of experimental data for VVUQ still remains open and is the topic of this contribution. In this paper, the concept of adequacy initially introduced in the OECD/NEA SAPIUM (Systematic APproach for model Input Uncertainty quantification Methodology) activity is formalized. It is defined through two key properties, called representativeness and completeness, that allows considering the multifactorial dimension of the adequacy problem. A new systematic approach is then proposed to analyze the adequacy of a set of experimental databases. It relies on the introduction of two sets of criteria to characterize representativeness and completeness and on the use of multi-criteria decision analysis method to perform the analysis. Finally, the approach is applied in the framework of the new OECD/NEA ATRIUM activity which includes a set of practical IUQ exercises in thermal-hydraulics to test the SAPIUM guideline in determining input uncertainties and forward propagating them on an application case. It allows evaluating the adequacy of eight experimental databases coming from the Super Moby-dick, Sozzi-Sutherland and Marviken experiments and identifying the most adequate ones.

被引用回数:14 パーセンタイル:84.12(Physics, Nuclear)The structure of the doubly magic Sn has been investigated at the ISOLDE facility at CERN, populated both by the -decay of In and -delayed neutron emission of In. The level scheme of Sn is greatly expanded with the addition of 68 -ray transitions and 17 levels. The identification of particle-hole multiplets both for protons and neutrons and the transition rates connecting different particle-hole configurations may provide input on the two-body matrix elements and single-particle states for state-of-the-art calculations.

被引用回数:11 パーセンタイル:74.44(Physics, Nuclear)Excited states in Sn were investigated through the decay of In at the ISOLDE facility. The ISOLDE Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS) provided isomer-selective ionization for In, allowing us to study separately, and in detail, the -decay branch of In = (9/2) ground state and its = (1/2) isomer. Thanks to the large spin difference of the two -decaying states of In, it is possible to investigate separately the lower and higher spin states in the daughter, Sn, and thus to probe independently different single-particle and single-hole levels. We report here new transitions observed in the decay of In, including those assigned to the deexcitation of the neutron-unbound states.

These include the 4 to 2 in Zn and the 2 to 0 and 4 to 2 in Zn. The reduced E() energies and increased E(4)/E(2) ratios at =52,54 compared to Zn attest that the magicity is confined just on the neutron number =50 only. The levels observed in Zn suggest the onset of deformation towards heavier Zn isotopes. The data were compared to state-of-the-art shell model calculations.

Excited states in these isotopes were populated via (p,2p) reactions using radioactive Rb beams accelerated to 220 MeV/nucleon. The new data show a significant increase in deformation beyond N=60, as well as competing configurations (shape-coexistence) at low energy. The data were compared with beyond-mean-field calculations which predict level energies in good agreement with observation, and suggest oblate-prolate shape coexistence.

被引用回数:21 パーセンタイル:77.24(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Excited states in Sn were populated following one-neutron knockout reaction from an unstable Sn beam at the RIBF laboratory in RIKEN. In addition to the already known rays, additional strength was observed for the first time in the excitation-energy range 3.5-5.5 MeV. Since the neutron separation energy of Sn is low, this observation provides direct evidence for the radioactive decay of neutron-unbound states in this nucleus. The ability of decay to compete with neutron emission was attributed to a mismatch between the wave functions of the initial and final states in the neutron emission case. These findings suggest that in the region south-east of Sn, nuclear structure effects play a significant role in the decay of unbound states, which are instead usually ignored in the evaluation of neutron-emission probabilities in astrophysical simulations.

The low-energy excitations of these nuclei were investigated using - coincidences, and the first and second excited 2 states were found at remarkably low energies.

被引用回数:43 パーセンタイル:88.64(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The first measurement of rays emitted by the very neutron rich nuclei Mo (Z=42) and Zr (Z=40) was carried out at the RIBF facility at RIKEN. These data shine light on the postulated N=70 harmonic oscillator shell. If the spin-orbit splitting which gives rise to the N=82 shell gap is reduced in very neutron-rich nuclei, the harmonic oscillator gap at N=70 should open instead. However, both the measured energy of the first excited state Mo and Zr, respectively 235(7) keV and 185(11) keV, and their E(4)/E(2) ratio, indicate that these nuclei are good rotors, and exclude the shell stabilization scenario at Z=40 and N=70. These results were compared to state-of-the-art density functional theoretical calculations using Gogny and Skyrme effective interactions.

For this task, the FPPCC PSs have to be as fast as possible and provide as much voltage as possible. Further, these will be open loop feed forward voltage controlled. The main characteristics are: 4-quadrant AC/DC converter 12-pulse with circulating current, DC load voltage 1000 V and DC load current 5 kA. The induced overvoltage in FPPC coil during a plasma disruption can reach 10 kV and it is bounded by a nonlinear resistor in parallel to the crowbar. All these technical characteristics have strongly influenced the design of the FPPC converter and of the FPPC transformers, that have been validated by simulation model of FPPCC PS. The outcomes of the simulation have allowed to finalize the performances and dynamic behavior of voltage response.

In JT-60SA, Fast Plasma Position Control Coils (FPPCC) PSs allow controlling the vertical position of the plasma during a plasma shot, against Vertical Displacements Event (VDE). An open loop feed forward voltage control is adopted in order to achieve a fast control of FPPCC PSs. The characteristics of the PS are: 4-quadrant AC/DC converter 12-pulse, DC load voltage 1000 V and DC load current 5 kA. The design of the FPPCC converters has been validated by a simulation model, finalizing the performances and dynamic behavior of voltage response. After the completion of the realization phase, the testing phase has been carried out in accordance to the IEC60146 Standards and this is the focus of the paper. The tests performed have pointed out a good dynamic behavior of the FPPCC converter in open loop feed forward voltage control, for a reference voltage step of 1kV, the rise time of output voltage is 2.88 ms, confirming outcomes achieved by simulations.

To develop the gyrotron local controller for ITER, a prototype controller was developed according to ITER CODAC standard hardware and software. The prototype controller was installed into JAEA gyrotron test stand for test operation using a high power gyrotron. JAEA gyrotron test stand includes several high-voltage(HV) power-supplies(PS). Since every PS has different ramp-up time sequence, the controller adjusts the start-up timing of each PS for synchronization. The integration test of gyrotron local controllers and other subsystem controllers is planned. The functional architecture design of ITER EC plant control system was started and the EPICS-based interface of subsystem controllers will be implemented for integration test. In JAEA test stand, integration test of the gyrotron, the transmission line, and the equatorial launcher controller is planned.

ITERの電子サイクロトロン加熱電流駆動システムは、170GHzのミリ波をプラズマに対して20MW入射する設計であり、24本の1MW出力ジャイロトロンの運転を予定している。日本は24本のうち8本のジャイロトロンを調達するが、これに伴いITERで動作させるためのジャイロトロン制御システムの開発が必要となる。今回、そのITER用ジャイロトロン制御装置の開発を目的として、原子力機構が有するジャイロトロン試験装置の電源システムに接続し、170GHzジャイロトロンの発振実験を行った。制御系は、ITERのプラント制御デザインハンドブック(PCDH: Plant Control Design Handbook)で指定されるシステム構成に準じており、世界的に見ても、ITER CODAC(計測・制御系)の体系で実際の機器を駆動する初めての例である。また、この試験では、新たに開発した電子ビーム加速電源を用いていることも特長であり、ITERジャイロトロンシステムの調達に向け大きな進展が得られた。
