Here we report observations of Ryugu's subsurface material by the Near-Infrared Spectrometer (NIRS3) on the Hayabusa2 spacecraft. Reflectance spectra of excavated material exhibit a hydroxyl (OH) absorption feature that is slightly stronger and peak-shifted compared with that observed for the surface, indicating that space weathering and/or radiative heating have caused subtle spectral changes in the uppermost surface. However, the strength and shape of the OH feature still suggests that the subsurface material experienced heating above 300 $$^{circ}$$C, similar to the surface. In contrast, thermophysical modeling indicates that radiative heating does not increase the temperature above 200 $$^{circ}$$C at the estimated excavation depth of 1 m, even if the semimajor axis is reduced to 0.344 au. This supports the hypothesis that primary thermal alteration occurred due to radiogenic and/or impact heating on Ryugu's parent body.

The high-performance computer system Helios which is located at The Computational Simulation Centre (CSC) in The International Fusion Energy Research Centre (IFERC) started its operation in January 2012 under the Broader Approach (BA) agreement between Japan and the EU. The Helios system has been used for magnetised fusion related simulation studies in the EU and Japan and has kept high average usage rate. As a result, the Helios system has contributed to many research products in a wide range of research areas from core plasma physics to reactor material and reactor engineering. This project review gives a short catalogue of domestic simulation research projects. First, we outline the IFERC-CSC project. After that, shown are objectives of the research projects, numerical schemes used in simulation codes, obtained results and necessary computations in future.

We describe the parallelization and performance evaluation of the simulation program for emission of terahertz electromagnetic wave from high-Tc cuprate superconductors, where high performance was achieved as a result of tuning on multi-core system. Firstly the simulation space was divided for parallel processing, where MPI communication was implemented. The divided simulation space was further assigned to processes on multi-processors. Secondly parallel performance on each processor was accelerated by multi-threads implemented by OpenMP with a ratio at the number of core's. We have evaluated the parallelized program on HA8000 cluster system at Information Technology Center of the University of Tokyo, and, thus, achieved high performance in the analysis of terahertz electromagnetic wave emission from superconductors.

In the feasibility study on commercialized fast breeder cycle system, a medium scale sodium cooled reactor with 750MW electricity has been designed. In this study, EMPs are applied to the secondary sodium main pump. The EMPs type is selected to be an annular linear induction pump (ALIP) type with double stators which is used in the 160m$$^3$$/min EMP demonstration test. The inner structure and electromagnetic features are decided reviewing the 160m$$^3$$/min EMP. Two dimensional electromagnetic fluid analyses by EAGLE code show that Rms (magnetic Reynolds number times slip) is evaluated to be 1.08 which is less than the stability limit 1.4 confirmed by the 160m$$^3$$/min EMP test, and the instability of the pump head is evaluated to be 3% of the normal operating pump head. Since the EMP stators are cooled by contacting coolant sodium duct, reliability of the inner structures are confirmed by temperature distribution and stator-duct contact pressure analyses. Besides, a power supply system, maintenance and repair feature and R&D plan of EMP are reported.

Based on the concept of a plant consisting of four modules with a capacity of 750 MWe each, which has been established by the end of FY2002, a concept of the entire plant was proposed, reflecting the modifications related to the high internal conversion type core, the double-wall straight tube steam generator (SG), and the fuel storage system. Concept studies were also performed to overcome the drawbacks of the sodium and to achieve in-service inspection and repair as easily as in light water reactor. Furthermore, feasibility studies were carried out to confirm the design, which included safety, thermal-hydraulics and the structures of the primary reactor auxiliary cooling system and the double-wall straight tube SG. A prospect for realization of this plant concept has been obtained through the evaluation results. In addition, as the interim evaluation of the candidate concepts of the FBR fuel cycle is to be conducted, cost effectiveness and achievability for the development goal were evaluated and the data of the three medium-scale reactor candidate concepts were prepared.

In Phase I of the "Feasibility Study on Commercialized Fast Reactor Cycle Systems (F/S)", an advanced loop type reactor has been selected as a promising concept of sodium-cooled middle-scale modular reactor, which has a possibility to fulfill the design requirements of the F/S. This report summarizes the results of the design study on the sodium-cooled middle-scale modular reactor performed in JFY2002, which is the second year of Phase 2. The construction cost of the sodium-cooled middle-scale modular reactor, which has been constructed in JFY2002, was almost achieved the economical goal. But its achievability was not sufficient to accept the concept. In order to reduce the construction cost, the plant concept has been re-constructed based on the 50 MWe plant studied in JFY2002. After that, fundamental specifications of main systems and components for the new concept have been set, and critical subjects have been examined and evaluated. In addition, in order to achieve the further cost reduction, the plant with simplified secondary system, the plant with electric magnetic pump in secondary system, and the fuel handling system are examined and evaluated. As a result of this study, the plant concept of the sodium-cooled middle-scale modular reactor has been constructed, which has a prospect to satisfy the economic goal (construction cost: less than 200,000 yens/kWe, etc.) and has a prospect to solve the critical subjects. From now on, reflecting the results of elemental experiments, the preliminary conceptual design of this plant will be preceded toward the selection for narrowingdown candidate concepts at the end of Phase 2.

The relativistic energy-band calculations have been carried out for $${rm UFeGa_{5}}$$, $${rm UCoGa_{5}}$$ and $${rm URhGa_{5}}$$ under the assumption that 5$$f$$-electrons are itinerant. A hybridization between the U 5$$f$$ state and Ga 4$$p$$ state occurs in the vicinity of the Fermi level. The Fermi surface of $${rm UCoGa_{5}}$$ is quite similar to that of $${rm URhGa_{5}}$$, which are all small in size and closed in topology. $${rm UFeGa_{5}}$$ has the quasi-two-dimensional Fermi surface which looks like a lattice structure.

Electronic structure and the Fermi surface of UBe$$_{13}$$

Maehira, Takahiro; Higashitani, Atsushi*; Higuchi, Masahiko*; Yasuhara, Hiroshi*; Hasegawa, Akira*

UBe$$_{13}$$ is a typical heavy-fermion superconductor compound. The lowtemperature electronic specific heat coefficient has the anomalous large value, $$gamma_{exp}$$=1.1J/K$$^2$$mol, which is the largest among the heavy fermion uranium compounds. It also becomes the superconductor below T$$_C$$=0.85K. Therefore, UBe$$_{13}$$ is an important material as a strongly correlated electron system, and it is necessary to study from both sides of the theory and the experiment. The measurement suggests that the Fermi surface of UBe$$_{13}$$ may consist of small sheets. The energy band structure and the Fermi surface for UBe$$_{13}$$ are calculated by the relativistic linear APW method.

Fermi surface of heavy Fermion compounds CeTIn$$_5$$ (T=Rh, Ir, and Co); Band-calculation and tight-binding approach

Maehira, Takahiro; Takimoto, Tetsuya; Hotta, Takashi; Ueda, Kazuo*; Higuchi, Masahiko*; Hasegawa, Akira*

Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, Vol.71, Supplement, p.285 - 287, 2002/00

Recently a new family of Ce-based heavy fermion superconductor $${rm CeTIn_{5}}$$ (T=Rh, Ir, and Co) has been reported. The dHvA effect has been successfully observed in $${rm CeIrIn_{5}}$$ and $${rm CeCoIn_{5}}$$.The angular dependence of dHvA branches is well explained by a quasi-two dimensional Fermi surface(F.S.). In order to clarify band structures of Ce-115 systems such as CeIrIn$$_5$$ and CeCoGa$$_5$$, two-step strategy is here employed. In the first step, the F.S. are derived by using the RLAPW method. In the next step, the band structure near the Fermi level is reanalyzed by using a simple tight-binding model. Namely, hopping amplitudes of $$f$$-electrons between neighboring Ce ions are parameterized to reproduce the F.S. obtained in the band-calculation. By further adding the Coulomb interaction terms into this tight-binding model, a simple many-body Hamiltonian for Ce-compounds can be constructed. This Hamiltonian opens a way to discuss magnetism and superconductivity in $$f$$-electron systems from the microscopic viewpoint.
