The neutron-capture cross-section measurements by the time-of flight method were performed using an apparatus called "Accurate Neutron-Nucleus Reaction measurement Instrument (ANNRI)" installed at the neutron Beam Line No.4 of the Materials and Life science experimental Facility (MLF) in the J-PARC. The neutron-capture cross sections of Pd and Pd have been measured in the neutron energy range from thermal to 300 eV. Some new information was obtained for resonances of these Pd nuclei.

Times Cited Count：9 Percentile：53.04(Physics, Multidisciplinary)For the improvement of the accuracy on the neutron capture cross sections, a 4 Ge spectrometer was developed. The 4 Ge spectrometer is a unique tool due to its superior energy resolution for studying properties on neutron capture reactions, not only capture cross sections but also resonance identification, -ray intensity distribution, and spin-parity assignment. For example, its performance on the resonance identification was demonstrated using a 
Ag sample. On the measurement of a -ray intensity distribution for each resonance, the results of 
U will be shown. Using the 4 Ge spectrometer, the measurements of neutron capture cross sections were started at the J-PARC/MLF/ANNRI. The preliminary results on the measurements of neutron capture cross sections will be discussed mainly based on measurements of neutron capture cross sections for 
Am, together with related techniques.

Times Cited Count：13 Percentile：61.59(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The project of the comprehensive nuclear data research for the development of the advanced reactor systems had been executed successfully by eight organizations from 2005 to 2009. In this project, we constructed the pulsed neutron beamline that was aimed to obtain neutron capture cross-sections of long-lived fission products and minor actinides accurately. The energy spectra, spatial distributions, and pulses of the beam were studied by measurements and simulation calculations, and they were found to be consistent with those of the beamline design. In this paper, we present the overview of the project and the properties of the neutron beam provided by this beam line.

Times Cited Count：47 Percentile：95.05(Instruments & Instrumentation)We measured the energy spectra and spatial distributions of the neutron beam of ANNRI beamline at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex / Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (J-PARC/MLF). Our research team designed and built this beamline to measure nuclear data with high precision. The measurements were performed on three types of beams provided by the beamline in the neutron energy range of 1.5 meV to 10 keV. The energy spectra show a typical feature of para-hydrogen moderator, and the absolute intensities almost agree with predictions based on both a simulation calculation of the JSNS (Japan Spallation Neutron Source) and a neutron transmission calculation of the beamline. The available neutron intensities at 21.5 m are 7.5

/sec in the energy ranges of 1.5-25 meV, 0.9-1.1 eV, and 0.9-1.1 keV, respectively, under the 17.5 kW JSNS operation. The measured spatial distributions of the beams formed by three different collimators are consistent with those expected from the collimator-system design of the beamline. The beam sizes in FWHM are about 29, 14, and 11 mm for the three different beam collimators. The edges of the spatial distributions are relatively sharp, enabling us to measure the nuclear data successfully.

The neutron-nucleus reaction instrument (NNRI) was installed at the J-PARC MLF BL04, which was designed for measuring neutron cross sections with a neutron time-of-flight technique. This includes two kinds of capture -ray spectrometers: the 4 Ge spectrometer and the NaI spectrometers. The measurements of neutron capture cross sections for minor actinides and fission products have been started at the NNRI using these spectrometers since 2009. In this paper, the preliminary results and future perspectives are discussed.

Times Cited Count：6 Percentile：39.56(Nuclear Science & Technology)To obtain the accurate nuclear data of minor actinides required for a nuclear transmutation system or an innovative nuclear fuel cycle system, measurement of neutron-capture cross section of Cm was performed using NNRI installed at beam line No.4 (BL04) of MLF in J-PARC. Using "4 Ge spectrometer" that is a component of NNRI, neutron time of flight spectra and prompt ray spectra were measured. Then neutron-capture cross section ratios of Cm resonances were derived and compared with the evaluated values of JENDL-3.3. The previous experimental data was measured using a nuclear explosion as a pulsed neutron source, and the present result is the first time in the world that such measurements have been carried out at an accelerator facility. By developing techniques for more detailed analysis and improvement of the experimental conditions, the absolute values of capture cross section are expected to be obtained.

Spatial distributions of neutron intensities were measured based on the pinhole camera principle to confirm a peculiar one for a para-hydrogen (H
) moderator by neutron transportation calculations. Para- H and ortho-rich-H (ortho/para ratio was 60:40-70:30) were utilized. The results are consistent with the calculations. Position dependences of energy spectra were measured for further discussions. Both moderators exhibit the intensity enhancements at the fringe part between 15 and 100 meV. Below 15 meV, the para-H moderator exhibits higher intensity at the fringe part, while a intensity decrease was recognized at the fringe part of the ortho-rich-H one. The reasons for the peculiar distribution are due to the characteristics of para- H: the effective slowing-down reaction for thermal neutrons and the higher transmission rate for cold neutrons. The present result is one of the basis confirming the reliability of design calculation used in the J-PARC project.

The measurements of neutron capture cross sections have been started using a 4Ge spectrometer at the neutron nucleus reaction instrument (NNRI) in the J-PARC materials and life science facility (MLF). First set of test measurements using the spectrometer at the J-PARC/MLF/NNRI have been performed for radioactive samples such as Cm-244, etc. The initial test experiments have demonstrated the capability of measuring the neutron capture cross section of Cm-244 with a sample mass of less than 1mg. In this talk, we will report preliminary results of the initial experiments, and discuss the new capability and future perspectives. * Present study is the result of "Study on nuclear data by using a high intensity pulsed neutron source for advanced nuclear system" entrusted to Hokkaido University by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan (MEXT).

The spatial distributions of low-energy neutron intensity from a normal- and a para-hydrogen moderator were measured. Position sensitive helium-3 detectors were used to observe neutrons through a cadmium plate with pin-hole,which was located at the middle of the flight-path. The distribution on the para-hydrogen moderator surface exhibited a intensity increase toward the edge near premoderator,while a decrease at the edge part was found in the normal-hydrogen one. Neutron energy spectra were also measured for both moderator sat various positions on the moderator surfaces, finding that the position dependence on the energy spectrum was quite different. In the para-hydrogen case, the intensity increased toward the edge below 100 meV. In the normal-hydrogen case, the intensity also increased toward the edgebetween 10 to 100 meV, while below 10 meV an almost flat distribution was found except the lower intensity at the edge.
