核変換システム等の陽子加速器施設では、標的や窓等の構造材に関する損傷の評価が重要となる。構造材の損傷評価には、原子あたりの弾き出し数(DPA)が広く用いられており、カスケードモデルに基づく計算で得られた弾き出し断面積に粒子束を乗ずることで得られる。DPAによる損傷評価は広く一般的に用いられているものの、20MeV以上のエネルギー範囲における陽子に対する弾き出し断面積の実験データは十分でなく、計算モデル間で約8倍異なることが報告されており構造材の弾き出し断面積の実験データ取得が重要となる。そこで、我々はJ-PARCセンターの3GeV陽子加速器施設を用い、400MeV以上のエネルギー範囲の陽子の弾き出し断面積の測定を開始した。弾き出し損傷断面積は、冷凍機で極低温(4K)に冷却された試料に陽子ビームを照射し、照射に伴う抵抗率の変化により得ることができる。実験で得られた断面積とPHITSコードに一般的に用いられるNRTモデルを用いて計算した結果、計算は実験を3倍程度過大評価を示した。一方、Nordlund等による最新モデルの結果は実験をよく再現し、これまでのNRTモデルに基づく標的等の弾き出し損傷は過大評価していることが明らかになった。

We have developed HypTPC consists of TPC and the trigger hodoscope for the J-PARC hadron experiments. The TPC Hodoscope has large scintillators of 80 
7 1 cm
to cover the TPC. Especially, we have developed a readout circuit for multiple MPPCs to detect photons generated over a large area of the scintillator. A general methods of applying voltage to multiple MPPCs are parallel and series connections. In the case of parallel connections, a signal has a long tail due to the large sensor capacitance. MEG collaboration used four MPPC segments as a serial connection. However, in the case of a series connection, the requiring bias voltage is very high, and the gain is low. To avoid this problem, we have developed a new individual biasing method with a summing amplifier for stable multiple MPPC readouts. We also made prototype detectors and performed a cosmic-ray test. Brief descriptions of our prototypes and preliminary results of the cosmic-ray test are presented in this article.

interaction describe not only the light hypernuclei but also a heavier hypernucleus.

beam particles enter a TPC gas volume of approximately 0.2 m, in a direction perpendicular to the electric field. A long-rectangular hollow section is located inside the TPC volume to accommodate a diamond target. We commissioned the TPC using 230 MeV protons with beam rates of up to 1 MHz. The TPC data acquisition system collected 5768 pad signals in full readout mode, with almost 100% efficiency, at a preset trigger rate of 230 Hz. We operated the TPC in an Ar/CH
gas mixture (90/10) without a magnetic field. The spatial resolutions on the pad plane are measured to be 400-700 
m, which correspond to 230-300 m in a magnetic field of 1 T. We confirmed high tracking capability at beam rates of up to 1 MHz.

Experimental results from the J-PARC E13 experiments are summarized. A new experimental set up of E13 has established a platform for the future -ray hypernuclear spectroscopy at J-PARC using kaon beams. New rays are identified in 
He and F. The energy of 1.406 MeV for the He
transition confirmed a sizable effect of Charge Symmetry Breaking (CSB) in interaction in the 
hypernuclear system. The identification of four rays in F is made for the first time in shell hypernuclei. Especially, energy spacing of the ground state doublet is found to be 315.5 keV. A good agreement with two theoretical calculations suggests that the theoretical formalism used in shell hypernuclei is also applicable to heavier hypernuclei. Lastly, an overview of the future J-PARC E63 experiment is given.

For the full understanding of baryon-baryon interactions in flavor 
, the 
interaction is the last missing piece of information. So far, we have revealed the interaction to be attractive (
MeV), and interaction to be repulsive in the medium to heavy mass-number region. The 
bonding energy is weakly attractive. While we have a few experimental observations suggesting the interaction would be attractive, there still exist large theoretical ambiguities weather it is attractive or not. Experimental determinations on the existence of bound states of hypernuclei by observing bound-state peaks are strongly awaited. In this report, a new preliminary result on the missing-mass spectrum of a C reaction, which strongly suggests the existence of -hypernuclear bound states, is presented.

Au collisions at

. After subtraction, the away-side (
of the highest transverse-momentum trigger (
GeV/) correlations is suppressed compared to that of correlations measured in collisions. At the lowest associated particle , the away-side shape and yield are modified. These observations are consistent with the scenario of radiative-jet energy loss. For the lowest- trigger correlations, an away-side yield exists and we explore the dependence of the shape of the away-side within the context of an underlying-event model. Correlations are also studied differentially versus event-plane angle 
. The angular correlations show an asymmetry when selecting the sign of the trigger-particle azimuthal angle with respect to the 
event plane. This asymmetry and the measured suppression of the pair yield out of plane is consistent with a path-length-dependent energy loss. No 
dependence can be resolved within experimental uncertainties.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：100(Astronomy & Astrophysics)Measurements of the differential production of electrons from open-heavy-flavor hadrons with charm- and bottom-quark content in collisions at GeV are presented. The measurements proceed through displaced-vertex analyses of electron tracks from the semileptonic decay of charm and bottom hadrons using the PHENIX silicon-vertex detector. The relative contribution of electrons from bottom decays to inclusive heavy-flavor-electron production is found to be consistent with fixed-order-plus-next-to-leading-log perturbative-QCD calculations within experimental and theoretical uncertainties. These new measurements in collisions provide a precision baseline for comparable forthcoming measurements in AA collisions.

被引用回数：39 パーセンタイル：0.33(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Experimental studies of the collisions of heavy nuclei at relativistic energies have established the properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a state of hot, dense nuclear matter in which quarks and gluons are not bound into hadrons. In this state, matter behaves as a nearly inviscid fluid that efficiently translates initial spatial anisotropies into correlated momentum anisotropies among the particles produced, creating a common velocity field pattern known as collective flow. In recent years, comparable momentum anisotropies have been measured in small-system proton-proton and proton-nucleus (p+A) collisions, despite expectations that the volume and lifetime of the medium produced would be too small to form a QGP. Here we report on the observation of elliptic and triangular flow patterns of charged particles produced in proton-gold (p+Au), deuteron-gold (d+Au) and helium-gold (
He+Au) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy 
= 200 GeV. The unique combination of three distinct initial geometries and two flow patterns provides unprecedented model discrimination. Hydrodynamical models, which include the formation of a short-lived QGP droplet, provide the best simultaneous description of these measurements.

A strong suppression is observed for and meson production at high transverse momentum in central CuAu collisions relative to the results scaled by the number of nucleon-nucleon collisions. In central collisions the suppression is similar to AuAu with comparable nuclear overlap. The 
ratio measured as a function of transverse momentum is consistent with 
-scaling parameterization down to 
2 GeV/, its asymptotic value is constant and consistent with AuAu and and does not show any significant dependence on collision centrality. Similar results were obtained in hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus, and nucleus-nucleus collisions as well as in 
collisions in a range of collision energies 
3-1800 GeV. This suggests that the quark-gluon-plasma medium produced in CuCu collisions either does not affect the jet fragmentation into light mesons or it affects the and the same way.
