被引用回数：11 パーセンタイル：74.44(Physics, Nuclear)The prompt fission -ray energy spectrum for cold-neutron induced fission of U was measured in the energy range 
= 0.8 - 20,MeV, by gaining a factor of about 10
in statistics compared to the measurements performed so far. The spectrum exhibits local bump structures at 
4,MeV and 
6,MeV, and also a broad one at 15,MeV. In order to understand the origins of these bumps, the -ray spectra were calculated using a statistical Hauser-Feshbach model, taking into account the de-excitation of all the possible primary fission fragments. It is shown that the bump at 4,MeV is created by the transitions between the discrete levels in the fragments around 
Sn, and the bump at 6,MeV mostly comes from the complementary light fragments. It is also indicated that a limited number of nuclides, which have high-spin states at low excitation energies, can contribute to the bump structure around 15,MeV, induced by the transition feeding into the low-lying high-spin states.

We are promoting a fission study using multi-nucleon transfer reactions, where excited states in neutron-rich actinide nuclei, which cannot be accessed by particle capture and/or fusion reactions, are populated. This allows us to study fission in the new region of chart of nuclei. Also, the excited states in the fissioning nucleus are widely populated in the reactions, thus the effects of excitation energy on fission can be investigated. Experiments were carried out at the JAEA tandem facility in Tokai, Japan. We studied reactions using the O beam (9MeV/u) and several actinide target nuclei such as 
Th, U, 
Np, 
Cm. Ejectile nuclei and thus the transfer channels were identified by a newly developed silicon 
E-E detectors. The produced nuclei in one experiment reached more than fifteen. Fission fragment mass distributions (FFMDs) were measured for each isotopes. Measured FFMDs are reproduced by a calculation based on the fluctuation-dissipation model (Langevin-type calculation), where effects of multi-chance fission were included. We also started to measure the prompt neutrons accompanied by fission.

被引用回数：3 パーセンタイル：86.43(Nuclear Science & Technology)The objective of this work is to extend fission data for actinide nuclei not investigated so far in order to understand the fission mechanism, especially for neutron-rich nuclei. Multi-nucleon transfer reactions were used to populate the compound nuclei which cannot be accessed by particle capture or fusion reactions. The experiment was carried out at the tandem facility of Japan Atomic Energy Agency. In the multi-nucleon transfer reactions using O beam, a wide variety of nuclei around a target nucleus was produced. By identifying transfer channels, fission data of nuclei more than fifteen compound nuclei were generated in one experiment. Another feature of transfer reaction is that the excitation energies of a compound nucleus can be populated continuously from the ground state up to several tens MeV, allowing us to study the excitation energy dependence of fission properties. From the excitation function of fission probabilities, fission-barrier heights of neutron-rich actinide nuclei were obtained. Experiments were carried out in the reactions of O + U, Th, Cm, Np. The obtained fission fragment mass distributions were reproduced by a model calculation based on a fluctuation dissipation model.

被引用回数：40 パーセンタイル：92.94(Astronomy & Astrophysics)It is shown that the multinucleon transfer reactions is a powerful tool to study fission of exotic neutron-rich actinide nuclei, which cannot be accessed by particle-capture or heavy-ion fusion reactions. In this work, multinucleon transfer channels of the O + Th reaction are used to study fission of fourteen nuclei 
Th, 
Pa, and 
U. Identification of fissioning nuclei and of their excitation energy is performed on an event-by-event basis, through the measurement of outgoing ejectile particle in coincidence with fission fragments. Fission fragment mass distributions are measured for each transfer channel, in selected bins of excitation energy. In particular, the mass distributions of 
Th and 
Pa are measured for the first time. Predominantly asymmetric fission is observed at low excitation energies for all studied cases, with a gradual increase of the symmetric mode towards higher excitation energy. The experimental distributions are found to be in general agreement with predictions of the fluctuation-dissipation model.

Zr reaction and -ray coincidence measurements were carried out with the GASP spectrometer. A rich level scheme was developed including 14 new bands of quadrupole transitions at very high spins. Linking transitions connecting 11 high-spin bands to low-energy states have been observed. Calculations based on the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky formalism have been used to assign configurations to the observed bands. The main result of these calculations is that all 14 bands exhibit a stable triaxial deformation up to the highest observed spins, giving strong support to the existence of a triaxial minimum with normal deformation and positive asymmetry parameter in nuclei with a few holes in the

Nucleon-transfer reaction allows us to produce neutron-rich nuclei, which cannot be accessed by fusion-evaporation reaction. We are promoting a campaign to measure fission-fragment mass distributions for actinide nuclei populated by transfer reactions. Unique feature in this approach in this fission study is that we can populate the fissioning nuclei from its ground state up to excitation energy of several tens MeV. We thus obtain the excitation energy dependence of the mass distribution for several nuclei. The fission barrier height can be determined from the excitation function of the fission probability. These data are important to develop a fission theory. The experiment was carried out at the 20 MV JAEA tandem facility at Tokai. We report on the data obtained in the reaction O + Th. Transfer-channels and excitation energies of the fissioning nuclei were identified using silicon E-E detectors located to the forward direction of the Th target. Two fission fragments were detected in coincidence using multi-wire proportional counters. Fission fragment masses were determined by kinematic consideration. We obtained the fission fragment mass distributions for 12 nuclei of thorium, protactinium and uranium. The data include those for 
Th and 
Pa obtained for the first time. In this run, we also report prompt neutrons in fission obtained using liquid scintillation detectors.

福島第一原子力発電所では廃止措置に向け、溶解しデブリとなった核燃料の取り出しが計画されている。その際、体系が未臨界であることを保証しながら作業を進める必要があるが、そのためには核分裂事象の頻度を観測する必要がある。しかしながら、使用済核燃料から放出されるバックグラウンド線等により、核分裂事象に伴い発生する即発中性子を観測することは容易ではない。一方、Cfの自発核分裂事象においては、核分裂生成物の

In a model for fusion between heavy-nuclei and survival probability of the excited compound nucleus to calculate a cross section to produce super-heavy elements, a shell damping energy which represents the degree of washing out the shell-correction energy with excitation energy is one of the key parameters. This value is also crucial to calculate fission properties such as fragment mass distribution. The value was originally determined from the spacing of the excited energy levels. However, it is still an open question if the value depends on nuclei or is universal over nuclei. We are studying the shell damping energy and its dependence with nuclei by measuring the fission fragment mass distributions and comparing them with a calculation based on the fluctuation-dissipation model where the shell damping energy E
is an input parameter. Excited fissioning nuclei were populated by multi-nucleon transfer reactions such as O + Th,U, and excitation energy dependence of the fission fragment mass distributions was measured up to E* = 50 MeV. The experiment was carried out at the JAEA tandem facility. Although the E value obtained in this manner is model dependent, the applied model itself can describe the fusion reaction for the synthesis of SHE, allowing us to give a constrain in the value.

We have developed a measurement system for the multi-nucleon transfer reaction and been studying fission of short-lived minor actinides and neutron-rich nuclides. The experiment was performed at the tandem accelerator facility of Japan Atomic Energy Agency where targets of U, Th, Cm were irradiated with O beams. In this experiment, more than ten nuclides were excited up to few tens of MeV at a time. Projectile-like scattered particles after the multi-nucleon transfer reaction were detected and identified using a E-E silicon telescope. The mass distribution was deduced from the time difference between two fission fragments from the compound nucleus which were detected using two pairs of multi-wire proportional counters. Neutrons accompanied by fission were also measured using liquid scintillators placed around the reaction chamber. In the nucleon transfer reaction, the axis of the angular-momentum transfer can be determined from the direction of the scattered particle. This is one of the most different point from the neutron/ion-induced fusion-fission reaction where only the plane on which the axis lies can be determined. The fission angular distributions with respect to this axis as well as the mass yield, the prompt neutron multiplicity and so on will be presented.
