The cluster structure of the neutron-rich isotope Be has been probed via the () reaction. The triple differential cross-section was extracted and compared to distorted-wave impulse approximation reaction calculations performed in a microscopic framework using the Tohsaki-Horiuchi-Schuck-Rpke wave function and the wave function deduced from Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics calculations. The remarkable agreement between calculated and measured cross-sections in both shape and magnitude validates the description of the Be ground-state as a rather compact nuclear molecule.

The Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS), whose beam energy ranges from 400 MeV to 3 GeV and which is located in the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex, is a kicker-impedance dominant machine, which violates the impedance budget from a classical viewpoint. Contrary to conventional understanding, we have succeeded to accelerate a 1-MW equivalent beam. The machine has some interesting features: for instance, the beam tends to be unstable for the smaller transverse beam size, the beam is stabilized by increasing the peak current . Space charge effects play an important role in the beam instability at the RCS. In this study, a new theory has been developed to calculate the beam growth rate with the head-tail and coupled-bunch modes () while taking space charge effects into account. The theory sufficiently explains the distinctive features of the beam instabilities at the RCS.

For the reduction of radioactive toxicities, feasibility study of nuclear transmutation of minor actinides (MAs) and long-lived fission products (LLFPs) by utilizing innovative nuclear reactor system (i.e. fast breeder reactors and accelerator-driven systems) has been actively conducted. To design these nuclear reactor systems, the accurate nuclear data are required. Therefore, to obtain more accurate nuclear data, the project entitled as "Research and development for Accuracy Improvement of neutron nuclear data on Minor ACtinides(AIMAC)" has been started as one of the "Innovative Nuclear Research and Development Program". In a part of this project, the nuclear data of MAs are verified in the variable neutron spectra field at Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute-LINear ACcelerator (KURRI-LINAC) and Kyoto University Critical Assembly (KUCA). And the differential TOF data is cross-checked with an integral data for the validation of Np, Am, and Am. In this summary, the results of reaction rate of neutron capture cross section of Np are reported as an example in the study.
