To achieve beam operation at a repetition rate of 25 Hz at high intensities, the RCS was elaborately designed. After starting the RCS operation, we carefully verified the validity of its design and made certain improvements to establish a reliable operation at higher power as possible. Consequently, we demonstrated beam operation at a high power, namely, 1 MW. We then summarized the design, actual performance, and improvements of the RCS to achieve a 1 MW beam.

It is important to understand why the beam loss occurs during user operation. It is understandable that the beam loss results from RF cavities failure. However, it would be still useful to study the beam loss detailed mechanism and to know which beam loss monitor (BLM) experiences the highest loss or is most sensitive. This may lead a reduction in the number of interlocked events and a more stable accelerator operation. The J-PARC Linac BLM has a simple data recorder that comprises multiple oscilloscopes. Although its functionality is limited, it can record events when an interlock is triggered. Of particular interest here are the events associated with only the BLM Machine Protection System (MPS). These may reveal hidden problems with the accelerator.

In the J-PARC, a 3 MeV linac has been developed for the tests of beam scraper irradiation and charge exchange by high-power laser. To accomplish tests efficiently and safely, the control system for 3 MeV was designed and developed, and this system consists of four subsystems, personal protection system, machine protection system, timing system, and remote control system using the EPICS. In this paper, the details of control system for a 3 MeV linac are presented.

Times Cited Count:80 Percentile:98.17(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Neutron transport calculations have been carried out to assess the capability of zirconium borohydride (Zr(BH)) and zirconium hydride (ZrH) as advanced shield materials, because excellent shields can be used to protect outer structural materials from serious activation. The neutron shielding capability of Zr(BH) is lower than ZrH, even though the hydrogen density of Zr(BH) is slightly higher than that of ZrH. High-Z atoms are effective in neutron shielding as well as hydrogen atoms. The combination of steel and Zr(BH) can improve the neutron shielding capability. The combinations of (Zr(BH) + F82H) and (ZrH + F82H) can reduce the thickness of the shield by 6.5% and 19% compared to (water + F82H), respectively. The neutron flux for Zr(BH) is drastically reduced in the range of neutron energy below 100 eV compared to other materials, due to the effect of boron, which can lead to a reduction of radwaste from fusion reactors.

Assuming toroidal symmetry in the erosion and deposition patterns, the net carbon erosion and deposition in the divertor area were estimated to be 0.34 kg and 0.55 kg, respectively. In a whole, the increment of carbon in the divertor region was 0.21 kg, which should be originated from the first wall. The hydrogen concentration in the thick deposition layer of the inner divertor was 0.02 in (H+D)/C. In the plasma-shadowed area underneath the divertor region at around 420 K, re-deposited layers of 2 m-thick were found with high hydrogen concentration of 0.8 in (H+D)/C. The carbon deposition rate in the plasma-shadowed area, however, was 810 atoms/s, which was one order smaller than that (610 atoms/s) on the wall surface.

Evaluation of fuel inventory and its retention process are critical issues for a next-step fusion device, especially with carbon-based wall. In order to resolve the issues, the hydrogen retention and carbon deposition analyses for the plasma facing surfaces and plasma-shadowed area of JT-60U have been performed. In JT-60U, erosion/deposition analyses for the plasma facing wall have shown that deposition was dominant at the inner-middle first wall and the inner divertor, whereas erosion dominant at the upper first wall and the outer divertor. Assuming toroidal symmetry in the erosion and deposition patterns, the net carbon erosion and deposition in the divertor area were estimated to be 0.34 kg and 0.55 kg, respectively. In a whole, the increment of carbon in the divertor region was 0.21 kg, which should be originated from the first wall.

Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:22.76(Physics, Condensed Matter)We have performed muon spin relaxation and resistivity measurements under high pressure in LaBaCuO with x=0.125 and 0.135. With increasing pressure, the superconducting critical temperature increases for both samples. Even by applying pressure, static magnetic order still exists. This result indicates the LTT structure is not always necessary for stabilizing the static magnetic order. However, the magnetic volume fraction estimated is reduced by applying pressure. The reduction of the magnetic volume fraction for x=0.125 is less than that for x=0.135. This means hole concentration is one of the important factors for the appearance of the static magnetic order.

Times Cited Count:21 Percentile:78.83(Nuclear Science & Technology)Neutron transport calculations were carried out to evaluate the capability of metal hydrides and borohydrides as an advanced shielding material. Some hydrides indicated considerably higher hydrogen content than polyethylene and solid hydrogen. The hydrogen-rich hydrides show superior neutron shielding capability to the conventional materials. From the temperature dependence of dissociation pressure, ZrH and TiH can be used without releasing hydrogen at the temperature of less than 640 C at 1 atm. ZrH and Mg(BH) can reduce the thickness of the shield by 30% and 20% compared to a combination of steel and water, respectively. Mixing some hydrides with F82H produces considerable effects in -ray shielding. The neutron and -ray shielding capabilities decrease in order of ZrH Mg(BH) and F82H TiH and F82H water and F82H.
