Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:54.42(Physics, Nuclear)The spallation and fragmentation reactions of Xe induced by proton, deuteron and carbon at 168 MeV/nucleon were studied at RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory via the inverse kinematics technique. The cross sections of the lighter products are larger in the carbon-induced reactions due to the higher total kinetic energy of carbon. The energy dependence was investigated by comparing the newly obtained data with previous results obtained at higher reaction energies. The experimental data were compared with the results of SPACS, EPAX, PHITS and DEURACS calculations. These data serve as benchmarks for the model calculations.

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:56.49(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Searching for effective pathways for the production of proton- and neutron-rich isotopes through an optimal combination of reaction mechanism and energy is one of the main driving forces behind experimental and theoretical nuclear reaction studies as well as for practical applications in nuclear transmutation of radioactive waste. We report on a study on incomplete fusion induced by deuteron, which contains one proton and one neutron with a weak binding energy and is easily broken up. This reaction study was achieved by measuring directly the cross sections for both proton and deuteron for Pd at 50 MeV/u via inverse kinematics technique. The results provide direct experimental evidence for the onset of a cross-section enhancement at high energy, indicating the potential of incomplete fusion induced by loosely-bound nuclei for creating proton-rich isotopes and nuclear transmutation of radioactive waste.

From March 1988, TPL has been operated with tritium, and no tritium release accident has been observed. The average tritium concentration in a stream from a stack of the TPL to environment was 71 Bq/m, and was 1/70 of the Japanese regulation value for HTO. The failure data have been analyzed for several main components of the safety systems such as pumps, valves, and monitors. The data on the tritium waste and accountancy has also been accumulated. As a study of the Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, these data are analysed and are reported.

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:52.33(Physics, Nuclear)Measurements of electrons from the decay of open-heavy-flavor mesons have shown that the yields are suppressed in Au+Au collisions compared to expectations from binary-scaled collisions. Here we extend these studies to two particle correlations where one particle is an electron from the decay of a heavy flavor meson and the other is a charged hadron from either the decay of the heavy meson or from jet fragmentation. These measurements provide more detailed information about the interaction between heavy quarks and the quark-gluon matter. We find the away-side-jet shape and yield to be modified in Au+Au collisions compared to collisions.

Times Cited Count:21 Percentile:78.11(Nuclear Science & Technology)The effect of ratcheting on fatigue strength was investigated in order to rationalize the strain limit as a design criterion of commercialized fast reactor systems. Ratcheting fatigue tests were conducted at 550C. Duration of the ratchet straining was set for a certain number of strain cycles taking the loading condition of fast reactors into account, and the number of cycles for strain accumulation was defined as the ratchet-expired cycle. Fatigue lives decrease as the accumulated strain by ratcheting increases. Fatigue life reduction was negligible when the maximum mean stress was less than 25 MPa, corresponding to an accumulated strain of 2.2 percent. Accumulated strain is limited to 2 percent in the present design guidelines and this strain limit is considered effective to avoid reducing fatigue life by ratcheting. Micro-crack growth behaviors were also investigated in these tests in order to discuss the life reduction mechanisms in ratcheting conditions.

For expansion of non-creep design area and simplification of design procedures, a rational identification method of creep design area by negligible creep (NC) curves was studied. NC curves of six kinds of stainless and ferrite steels for fast reactors were determined at 1.5Sm (Sm: design stress intensity). These NC curves are based on domestic material data. NC curves provide the relation between temperature and time that does not induce meaningful creep strain under the constant primary stress. As for 316FR steel, which is used for reactor vessel in Japanese fast reactor, non-creep design area is identified with comparing the highest temperature and 425C (constant upper limit for austenite stainless steal) by existing Japanese Guides. However, this temperature limit can be enhanced by NC curve concept when operating (thermal transient) time is long. NC curves under higher primary stress, and the curves under secondary stress were also studied. However, at the present stage, NC curves for stress level 1.5Sm were adopted to identify creep design area. The concept of NC curve was introduced into the interim FDS (fast reactor design standard for commercialized fast reactors in Japan) to simplify the creep design of fast reactor systems. Utilizing these curves, design becomes easier for components which are employed at comparatively lower temperature under normal condition and short holding time at high temperature.

We found that uranyl-phosphate nanocrystallization, though initiated by adsorption, is a dominating mechanism of the U uptake and controls long-term U transport at low U concentrations.

Times Cited Count:24 Percentile:71.80(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The present resonant X-ray scattering has been performed on a monoclinically-split single domain of NaVO. The observation of a critically enhanced contrast between V and V ions has led us to the unequivocal conclusion of the charge-order pattern of low-temperature phase of NaVO below = 35 K. In spite of the possible four types of configuration of the zig-zag-type charge-order patterns in the -plane (A, A', B and B'), the stacking sequence along the -axis is determined as the AAA'A' type by comparison with model calculations. By assigning the A and A' configurations to Ising spins, one can reasonably explain the previously discovered "devil's staircase"-type behavior with respect to the modulation of layer-stacking sequences at high pressures and low temperatures, which clearly resembles the global phase diagram theoretically predicted by the ANNNI model.
