We developed an active-target type gas counter operating with low He/CO (10%) detector gas for application in studying low-energy nuclear reactions using radioactive beams. A 400-m-thick gas electron multiplier (THGEM) was used as the proportional counter for high injection rate capability. We examined the gas gain stability and the influence of ion feedback on particle tracks at high beam injection rates of up to 10 particles per second (pps) using a low-energy C beam. From the result of this examination, we found that the THGEM was found to be applicable for our active target at high injection rates of up to 10 pps.

The excitation function of the Li(d,t)Li reaction was directly measured using Li beams at E = 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, 0.8, 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 MeV with CD targets. The beam energies covered the Gamow peaks for 1310 K. Large cross sections were observed at around E = 0.8 MeV, implying a resonance state located at 22.4 MeV in Be. The present astrophysical reaction rate is higher in one order magnitude than the presently adopted rate at around 110 K.

KEKCB is an 18 GHz Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion source and is a charge breeder device for converting mass-separated 1 radioactive ions to multi-ionized ones by utilizing an axial injection technique to the ECR plasma. It is a part of the Tokai Radioactive Ion Accelerator Complex (TRIAC) facility. Based on the developments so far, converting efficiencies for metal elements, such as barium and indium, and for gaseous elements, such as krypton and xenon, are improved to be 7 and 2 , respectively. And it is confirmed that the efficiency is nearly the constant for short-lived (t 1 sec) isotopes. Background ions mixed in the output beams are supressed to be 600 pps from 10 pps by applying all aluminum electrodes and high pressure pure-water cleanings.

A research project entitled "Development of the 4D Space Access Neutron Spectrometer (4SEASONS) and Elucidation of the Mechanism of Oxide High- Superconductivity" has started in 2005 (repr. by M. Arai). It is supported by MEXT, Grant-in-Aid for Specially Promoted Research and is going to last until fiscal 2009. The goal of the project is to elucidate the mechanism of oxide high- superconductivity by neutron scattering technique. For this purpose, we will develop an inelastic neutron scattering instrument 4SEASONS (4d SpacE AccesS neutrON Spectrometer) for the spallation neutron source in Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). The instrument will have 100 times higher performance than existing world-class instruments, and will enable detailed observation of anomalous magnetic excitations and phonons in a four-dimensional momentum-energy space. This report summarizes the progress in the research project in fiscal 2007.

4SEASONS is one of the day-one chopper spectrometers for the spallation neutron facility in Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). The spectrometer targets high- superconductors and related strongly correlated materials utilizing incident energies of 5-300 meV. 4SEASONS supplies high flux at a sample by moderating the resolution (-6% at ) and incorporating efficient neutron optic devices. A new Fermi chopper is designed to multiply the measurement efficiency by repetition rate multiplication (RRM). Recently, we have decided to enlarge the detector coverage by in horizontal direction (with the maximum scattering angle being ) to let the spectrometer have more flexibility. The designing of the vacuum scattering chamber has been almost completed. Examination of the 2.5m-He PSD on neutron beam and manufacturing of a prototype of a slit package of the new chopper are going on.
