被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:8.37(Nuclear Science & Technology)加速器駆動型核変換システム(ADS)等の陽子ビーム加速器施設におけるビーム窓などの構造材の損傷評価には、原子当たりの弾き出し数(dpa)が損傷指標として広く用いられる。dpaの評価は弾き出し断面積に基づいて行われるものの、20MeV以上のエネルギー領域の陽子に対する弾き出し断面積の実験データは乏しく、計算モデルの間でも約8倍の差が存在している。このため、弾き出し断面積を実験的に取得するのは計算に用いるモデルの評価のために重要となる。弾き出し断面積の取得のため、J-PARCの加速器施設において、0.4-3GeVにわたる陽子エネルギー領域における銅と鉄の断面積を測定した。弾き出し断面積は、損傷を保持するために極低温に冷却された試料における、陽子ビームに金する抵抗率変化により得ることができる。本測定で得られた実験結果を元に、計算モデルの比較検討を行った。広く用いられているNorgertt-Robinson-Torrens (NRT)モデルは、実験値を3.5倍過大評価することが判明した。一方、近年の分子動力学に基づく非熱的再結合補正(arc)モデルは実験値をよく再現したため、銅と鉄の損傷評価にはarcモデルを使うべきであると結論づけられた。

加速器駆動型核変換システム(ADS)では、加速器の真空領域と標的領域の隔壁となるビーム入射窓の開発が重要となる。ビーム窓の損傷評価には、原子当たりの弾き出し数(DPA)が用いられるが、DPAの導出に用いられる弾き出し断面積の実験データは20MeV以上のエネルギー領域の陽子に対しほとんどないため、ADSにおいて重要な0.43GeV陽子における弾き出し断面積の測定を開始した。弾き出し断面積は、損傷を維持するため極低温に冷却された試料の陽子入射に伴う抵抗率変化を陽子フルエンスとフランケル対当たりの抵抗率変化で除することにより導出できる。実験はJ-PARCセンターの3GeV陽子シンクロトロン施設で行い、試料には銅を用いた。実験で得られた断面積と一般的に弾き出し断面積の計算に使用されるNRTモデルの計算との比較の結果、NRTモデルの計算は実験を約3倍過大評価することが判明した。

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:100(Physics, Nuclear)Charmonium is a valuable probe in heavy-ion collisions to study the properties of the quark gluon plasma, and is also an interesting probe in small collision systems to study cold nuclear matter effects, which are also present in large collision systems. With the recent observations of collective behavior of produced particles in small system collisions, measurements of the modification of harmonium in small systems have become increasingly relevant. We present the results of measurements at forward and backward rapidity in various small collision systems,

Al,
Au and
He
Au, at
=200 GeV. The results are presented in the form of the observable
, the nuclear modification factor, a measure of the ratio of the
invariant yield compared to the scaled yield in
collisions. We examine the rapidity, transverse momentum, and collision centrality dependence of nuclear effects on
production with different projectile sizes
and
He, and different target sizes Al and Au. The modification is found to be strongly dependent on the target size, but to be very similar for
Au and
He
Au. However, for 0% - 20% central collisions at backward rapidity, the modification for
He
Au is found to be smaller than that for
Au, with a mean fit to the ratio of

Au collisions at
GeV on charged hadron production at forward rapidity (
,
-going direction) and backward rapidity (
,
-going direction). Such effects are quantified by measuring nuclear modification factors as a function of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity in various collision multiplicity selections. In central
Al and
Au collisions, a suppression (enhancement) is observed at forward (backward) rapidity compared to the binary scaled yields in
+
collisions. The magnitude of enhancement at backward rapidity is larger in
Au collisions than in
Al collisions, which have a smaller number of participating nucleons. However, the results at forward rapidity show a similar suppression within uncertainties. The results in the integrated centrality are compared with calculations using nuclear parton distribution functions, which show a reasonable agreement at the forward rapidity but fail to describe the backward rapidity enhancement.

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.

We performed a gamma-ray spectroscopy of at J-PARC Hadron Experimental Facility in 2015. It is the first measurement of
rays emitted from
-shell hypernuclei. In this experiment, we determined the energy spacing between the ground state spin doublet,
and
states, as 316 keV. The excitation energies of
and
states are also determined to be 895 and 1266 keV, respectively. The energy spacing is found to be well reproduced by shell-model calculations which describe

-shell
hypernuclei well. The results show that the present theories of the
interaction describe not only the light hypernuclei but also a heavier hypernucleus.

被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:34.3(Instruments & Instrumentation)We have developed a gas electron multiplier (GEM)-based time projection chamber (TPC) for the H-dibaryon search experiment at J-PARC. High-rate 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.

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

,GeV/

. 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
