Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:20.65(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We took P NMR measurements of mainly paramagnetic phase to reveal the itinerant-electron metamagnetic transition, and of its magnetically ordered phase, and characterized their spin fluctuations by estimating the spin fluctuation parameter corresponding to the width of the spin fluctuation in the spectrum in frequency space. As increases from 0 to 0.5, the in-plane component of decreases proportionally with the metamagnetic transition field. In the antiferromagnetic cT phase, is constant and spin fluctuations show an isotropic character in contrast to their behavior in the paramagnetic ucT phase. These results indicate that the in-plane spin fluctuations due to the quasi-two-dimensional crystal structure play a significant role in the metamagnetic transition of this system.

With numerical simulations and laser-driven experiments we show prospects for the Laser-driven Exotic Nuclei extraction-acceleration method proposed in [M. Nishiuchi et al., Phys. Plasmas 22, 033107 (2015)]: a femtosecond petawatt laser, irradiating a target bombarded by an external ion beam, extracts from the target and accelerates to few GeV highly charged short-lived heavy exotic nuclei created in the target via nuclear reactions.

Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:6.63(Biology)While X-ray laser is expected to be widely applied to biomedical studies, this has not been achieved to date and its biological effects such as DNA damage have not been evaluated. As a first step for its biological application, we developed a culture cell irradiation system using laser-plasma soft X-ray laser and investigated whether the soft X-ray laser is able to induce the DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) in living cells or not. The human adenocarcimona cell line A549 was irradiated with the soft X-ray laser at a photon energy of 89 eV and then the repair focus formation of the DSBs was assessed by immunofluorescence staining with anti-phosphorylated DNA-PKcs antibody. As a result, the phosphorylated DNA-PKcs foci were clearly identified even with just a single shot of the soft X-ray laser. In this study, we successfully demonstrated for the first time that soft X-ray laser at 89 eV induced the DNA double strand breaks in living cells.

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.00(Engineering, Electrical & Electronic)Experimental demonstration of multi-charged heavy ion acceleration from the interaction between the ultra-intense short pulse laser system and the metal target is presented. The laser pulse of 10 J laser energy, 36 fs pulse width, and the contrast level of 10 from 200 TW class Ti:sapphire J-KAREN laser system at JAEA is used in the experiment. Almost fully stripped Fe ions accelerated up to 0.9 GeV are demonstrated. This is achieved by the high intensity laser field of 10Wcm interacting with the solid density target. The demonstrated iron ions with high charge to mass ratio (Q/M) is difficult to be achieved by the conventional heavy ion source technique in the accelerators.

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.

Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:30.14(Nuclear Science & Technology)Plasma neutralizer is one of key components to achieve the required system efficiency ( 50 %) for a negative-ion based neutral beam (N-NB) system in a fusion power plant. In the plasma neutralizer, highly ionized plasma is required at lower pressure, e.g., ionization degrees of 30 % at 0.08 Pa for 1 MeV negative ions. In such low pressure, mean free path of fast electron that contributes to ionizations becomes longer than the neutralizer's dimensions. Therefore, suppression of fast electron leakage from large openings that are beam entrance and exit is a crucial issue to realize plasma neutralizers. To suppress the fast electron leakage from the openings, authors propose a shield field, which is a weak transverse magnetic field of only 30 Gauss applied locally around the opening. The shield field are numerically examined and designed by using a three dimensional particle orbit code. In the experimental studies, this weak shield field is applied at the openings (diam. = 20 cm) of an arc discharge driven plasma neutralizer (length = 200 cm, diam. = 60 cm). The plasma parameters inside and outside of the opening were measured by a Langmuir probe. The electron energy distribution function (EEDF) showed that considerable fast electrons, which were leaked from the opening, were suppressed successfully by the weak shield field of 30 Gauss. Thus the leaking fast electrons were repelled into the neutralizer to deposit their energy for the plasma production. At a result, the plasma production efficiency (plasma density / arc power) was improved by a factor of 1.5 at 0.08 Pa.
