J-PARCの物質・生命科学実験施設(MLF)では、大強度核破砕中性子源の水銀ターゲットに3GeV・1MWの陽子ビームを照射し、大強度の中性子ビームを中性子実験装置に供給する。水銀ターゲットと水銀循環システムから漏洩する放射性物質をゲルマニウム半導体検出器によるガンマ線エネルギー分析で検出し、水銀ターゲットと水銀循環システムの故障の兆候を見つけるための統合水銀放射能モニター(UHAM)が設置されている。サンプリングポートと放射線モニタからなる3つのユニットで構成される: 1)ターゲット容器とセーフティハルとの間のヘリウムガス層を測定するHAM、2)水銀循環システムが設置されているホットセル内の雰囲気を測定するCAM、3)ターゲット容器が設置されるヘリウム容器内のヘリウムガスを測定するVAMである。放射性物質の漏えいが検出されると、直ちに加速器制御システムに警報信号が発せられ、ビーム運転が停止される。ソフトウェアとハードウェアは毎年アップグレードされている。例えば、HAMには冗長性を持たせるために2台のGe検出器が使用されており、高計数率事象に対するシステムの可用性を維持するためにGe検出器の補助としてNaIシンチレーション検出器も使用されている。さらに、CAMにはトリチウムを検出するためのガスモニターが設置されている。現在までに以下のような運転実績がある。1)CAMではXe-121とXe-123ガスを検出できる。これらの放射性ガス状放射性核種は、水銀ターゲットのカバーガスからわずかに漏洩する。2)VAMでは、ヘリウム容器内の湿度が検出され、消滅ガンマ線とN-15の検出が増加した。3)Ar-41の検出は、ヘリウム雰囲気中の空気の混合を示す。

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Instruments & Instrumentation)A current-biased kinetic inductance detector (CB-KID) is a novel superconducting detector to construct a neutron transmission imaging system. The characteristics of a superconducting neutron detector have been systematically studied to improve spatial resolution of our CB-KID neutron detector. In this study, we investigated the distribution of spatial resolutions under different operating conditions and examined the homogeneity of spatial resolutions in the detector in detail. We found that controlling the detector temperature precisely enough to realize stable propagation velocities of the signals in the detector to achieve the best spatial resolution with a delay-line CB-KID technique.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：62.61(Instruments & Instrumentation)JSNS investigates short-baseline neutrino oscillations using a 24-meter baseline and a 17-tonne Gd-loaded liquid scintillator target. Accurate event-reconstruction algorithms are crucial for analyzing experimental data. The algorithms undergo meticulous validation through calibration with a Cf source. This paper outlines the methodology and evaluates the reconstruction performance, focusing on neutrino interactions up to approximately 50 MeV for sterile neutrino searches. Both Cf and Michel electron events are studied to evaluate reconstruction accuracy. The analysis concludes that the uncertainty of the fiducial volume, with an appropriate correction, is much less than the requirement of JSNS requirement (10%). Furthermore, the energy resolution is measured to be 3.3 
0.1% for the Michel electron endpoint and 4.3 0.1% for the n-Gd peak in the central region.

被引用回数：9 パーセンタイル：90.65(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We present the first measurement of the missing energy due to nuclear effects in monoenergetic, muon neutrino charged-current interactions on carbon, originating from 
decay at rest (
), performed with the J-PARC Sterile Neutrino Search at the J-PARC Spallation Neutron Source liquid scintillator based experiment. Toward characterizing the neutrino interaction, ostensibly 
or 
C 
N, we define the missing energy as the energy transferred to the nucleus (
) minus the kinetic energy of the outgoing proton(s), 
, and relate this to visible energy in the detector, ![$$E_m = E_{nu_{mu}} (235.5 MeV) - m_{mu}(105.7 MeV) + [m_n - m_p(1.3 MeV)] - E_{vis}$$](/search/images/ERCV41JAHUQEKX11LRXHKX11LRWXK5L3EAUDEMZVFY0SATLFKYUSALJANVPXWXDNOV4SQMJQGUXDOICNMVLCSIBLEBNW0X1OEAWSA1K5OAUDCLRTEBGWKVRJLUQC0ICFL33XM0LTPUSA.gif)
. The missing energy, which is naively expected to be zero in the absence of nuclear effects (e.g., nucleon separation energy, Fermi momenta, and final-state interactions), is uniquely sensitive to many aspects of the interaction, and has previously been inaccessible with neutrinos. The shape-only, differential cross section measurement reported, based on a 
pure double-coincidence kaon decay-at-rest signal (621 total events), provides detailed insight into neutrino-nucleus interactions, allowing even the nuclear orbital shell of the struck nucleon to be inferred. The measurement provides an important benchmark for models and event generators at hundreds of MeV neutrino energies, characterized by the difficult-to-model transition region between neutrino-nucleus and neutrino-nucleon scattering, and relevant for applications in nuclear physics, neutrino oscillation measurements, and Type-II supernova studies.

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

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 investigated neutron flux at a sample position and energy resolution of a direct-geometry disk-chopper spectrometer AMATERAS under various chopper conditions and compared them with simulations and calculations. The measured flux was comparable to other similar spectrometers with high flux. The resolution when using a pulse-shaping chopper was in close agreement with the analytical calculations, including the thickness of the disk chopper, the sample size, and the penetration depth into the detector. It is found that the chopper, placed at the intermediate distance of the primary spectrometer, works as a pulse shaper that optimizes the flux and resolution below the incident energy of 10 meV.

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：1 パーセンタイル：7.96(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 75.2
C 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 
25 m and length 5 mm), it is suitable for observing fine mosaic structure selectively by neutron imaging. The spatial resolution of the CB-KID imager was estimated as 10 m by using a Gd Siemens-star pattern. The CB-KID system is useful to conduct transmission imaging for various materials rather easily at room temperature.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：26.15(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.

, 
elastic scatterings and the 
scattering by identifying a lot of 
particles in the momentum ranging from 0.4 to 0.8 GeV/
produced by the 
reactions. We successfully measured the differential cross sections of these three channels with a drastically improved accuracy with a fine angular step. These new data will become important experimental constraints to improve the theories of the two-body baryon-baryon interactions. Following this success, we proposed a new experiment to measure the differential cross sections and spin observables by using a highly polarized 
beam for providing quantitative information on the 
interaction. The results of three 
channels and future prospects of the 
scattering experiment are described.

被引用回数：6 パーセンタイル：33.85(Physics, Applied)The local structure around boron doped in a 6H-type silicon carbide (SiC) was investigated using neutron holography. Three dimensional atomic images reconstructed from multiple-wavelength holograms revealed the boron substitution for both silicon and carbon. To determine the boron locations accurately, we calculated holograms with varying occupancies of six different sites and fitted the image intensities with those obtained from the experimental holograms by the steepest descent method. As a result, it was found that boron atoms were selectively located at the Si-C-cubic site layer. Furthermore, boundaries right above the boron locations were suggested from the absence of atomic images in the upper region of the reconstruction.
