Times Cited Count:60 Percentile:93.36(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Masses of Es, Fm and the transfermium nuclei Md, and No, produced by hot- and cold-fusion reactions, in the vicinity of the deformed neutron shell closure, have been directly measured using a multi-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrograph. The masses of Es and Md were measured for the first time. Using the masses of Md as anchor points for decay chains, the masses of heavier nuclei, up to Bh and Mt, were determined. These new masses were compared with theoretical global mass models and demonstrated to be in good agreement with macroscopic-microscopic models in this region. The empirical shell gap parameter derived from three isotopic masses was updated with the new masses and corroborate the existence of the deformed neutron shell closure for Md and Lr.

Times Cited Count:48 Percentile:96.07(Physics, Nuclear)Using a multireflection time-of-flight mass spectrograph located after a gas cell coupled with the gas-filled recoil ion separator GARIS-II, the masses of several -decaying heavy nuclei were directly and precisely measured. The nuclei were produced via fusion-evaporation reactions and separated from projectilelike and targetlike particles using GARIS-II before being stopped in a helium-filled gas cell. Time-of-flight spectra for three isobar chains, Fr-Rn-At-Po, Fr- Rn-At-Po-Bi, and Fr-Rn-At, were observed. Precision atomic mass values were determined for Fr, Rn, and At. Identifications of Bi, Po, Rn, and At were made with N10 detected ions, representing the next step toward use of mass spectrometry to identify exceedingly low-yield species such as superheavy element ions.

The JT-60 SA project is a combined project of JA-EU satellite tokamak program under the Broader Approach (BA) agreement and JA domestic program. Major components of JT-60SA for assembly are vacuum vessel (VV), superconducting coils (TF coils, EF coils and CS coil), in-vessel components such as divertor, thermal shield and cryostat. An assembly frame (with the dedicated cranes), which is located around the tokamak, is adopted to carry out effectively the assembly of tokamak components in the tokamak hall, independently of the facility cranes in the building. The assembly frame also provides assembly tools and jigs with jacks to support temporarily the components as well as to adjust the components at right positions. In this paper, the assembly scenario and scequence of the major components such as VV and TFC and the concept of the assembly frame including special jigs and fixtures are discussed.

Times Cited Count:13 Percentile:51.72(Instruments & Instrumentation)KEKCB is an 18 GHz Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion source and is a charge breeder device for converting mass-separated 1 radioactive ions to multi-ionized ones by utilizing an axial injection technique to the ECR plasma. It is a part of the Tokai Radioactive Ion Accelerator Complex (TRIAC) facility. Based on the developments so far, converting efficiencies for metal elements, such as barium and indium, and for gaseous elements, such as krypton and xenon, are improved to be 7 and 2 , respectively. And it is confirmed that the efficiency is nearly the constant for short-lived (t 1 sec) isotopes. Background ions mixed in the output beams are supressed to be 600 pps from 10 pps by applying all aluminum electrodes and high pressure pure-water cleanings.

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.01(Nuclear Science & Technology)The structural design of the tile as a ripple reduction for toroidal magnetic field in JT-60U was outlined. 8Cr-2W-0.2V ferritic steel plates were fabricated and mechanical and vacuum properties were evaluated to assess the design conditions. Tensile properties were uniform in yield and tensile strength at ambient temperature and sufficient strength as the structural integrity at operational temperature of 423 K and 573 K. Vacuum property was measured with the baking at 473 K and similar to the conventional stainless steel but not satisfy the JT-60 standard of the in-situ material of the vacuum vessel. The ferritic steel was judged as an installable because of that the JT-60 baking temperature is 573 K higher than this test temperature of 473 K, and of that residual out-gassing was hydrogen which was the fuel of the operational plasma.

A self-sustained state driven by the bootstrap current was achieved in JT-60U. Based on a high confinement reversed magnetic shear plasma, a plasma in which the bootstrap current frafciton of almost 100 percent (plasma current 0.55 MA) was successfully maintained for 2.5 s. The dynamic response of a completely self-driven system with negligible external current drive was studied. Repetition of beta collapses and recoveries were often observed. Furthermore, discharges in which the bootstrap current fraction can be expected to be larger than 100 percent were obtained.

Times Cited Count:11 Percentile:37.01(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)This papaer studies on tokamak plasma start-up completely without central solenoid (CS). On the JT-60 tokamak it is demonstrated that a completely CS-less Ip start-up to 100 kA was achieved even without any null-point by Electron cyclotron range of frequencies (ECRF) and outer PF coil current swing only. Necessary conditions (the EC power, the toroidal field etc.) were clarified. Moreover, it was succeded to maintain Ip = 260kA for 1 sec without CS by NB only. In addition Ip ramp-up by EC and NB only (without LHCD) from 215 to 310kA was achieved. In a high confinement reversed shear discharge, a result suggesting bootstrap over drive was obtained.
