We aim to improve the detection limit of the ESR dosimetry method. In this study, the saturation behavior of each radical was investigated by varying the microwave power during ESR measurement. Based on the difference in spin relaxation time between carbonate radicals and native radicals, it is expected that the signal-to-noise ratio improves and the detection limit can be lowered when the microwave power is increased to 4.0 mW.

To clarify the radiation effects of the accident at the TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi NPP on living organisms, it is important to accurately estimate the dose to each individual. We have developed a multi-component analysis program using random number optimization to extract only the components derived from carbonate radicals from the ESR spectra.

Confinement degradation of energetic ions due to Alfvn Eigenmodes (AEs) induced by negative-ion-based neutral beam injection for the classical confinement is quantitatively evaluated for the first time. AEs, whose frequency largely sweep with the time scale of a few hundreds millisecond as the minimum value of the safety factor decrease, have been observed in JT-60U. These mode behavior can be explained by reversed-shear induced AEs (RSAEs). Measured total neutron emission rate (Sn) in the presence of the AEs is compared with that predicted by a classical theory. As a result, confinement degradation of energetic ions is confirmed, Line-integrated neutron emission profile is also compared with that predicted when assuming that the confinement is classical. The result indicates energetic ions are transported from core region of the plasma due to these AEs. Further, changes in energy distribution of charge exchange neutral fluxes suggest radial transport is due to the resonance interaction between energetic ions and AEs.

Times Cited Count：38 Percentile：73.74(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)To investigate energetic ion transport induced by Alfven eigenmodes (AEs) the neutron emission profile measurement and the charge exchange (CX) neutral particle flux measurement by Natural Diamond Detector has been performed simultaneously in the JT-60U for the first time. The energetic ion profiles inferred from these measurements indicate that ALEs cause a radial redistribution of energetic ions of limited energy range from the core region to the outer region of the plasma in weak shear plasmas. This energy range is consistent with the resonance condition between the mode and the energetic ions. In reversed shear plasmas, reversed-shear-induced AEs (RSAEs) and their transition to TAEs as the minimum value of the safety factor decreases has been observed. Neutron measurements suggest energetic ion loss is large in the transition phase from RSAEs to TAEs.

The energetic neutral particles have been successfully measured with a natural diamond detector in the neutron and 
ray radiation circumstance of the JT-60U deuterium discharges. The diamond detector was covered with polyethylene and lead in order to reduce the neutron and ray background. The shield has shown expected shielding capability. A rapid increase in neutral particles has been observed at the onset of the Toroidal Alfven Eigenmode (TAE) excited by the negative-ion-based neutral beam injection. The energy range of increased neutral particles has agreed well with that predicted from the resonant interaction between the energetic ions and the TAE.

Times Cited Count：6 Percentile：35.17(Instruments & Instrumentation)Measurement of energy distribution of charge exchange neutral particles by using Natural Diamond Detector (NDD) has been started on the JT-60U Tokamak. Because the NDD is sensitive to neutrons and -rays too, the radiation shield has been set up around the NDD. Then energy distribution of neutral particles corresponding to injected neutral beam energy are successfully obtained. Also, enhance of neutral particle flux due to sawtooth oscillation and Alfven Eigenmode induced by N-NBI was observed. The performance of the NDD as CX neutral particle analyzer under the DD neutron filed was demonstrated on JT-60U.

In order to clarify the radiation effects of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident on living organisms, it is important to estimate the radiation dose to individual organisms. We have focused on carbonate radicals that induced in tooth enamel due to radiation, and have estimated the dose by using electron spin resonance technique. In this presentation, we report the results of dose response of radiation-induced radicals and the application of this method to low-dose area by using tooth enamel of Japanese macaque and hydroxyapatite.

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) instabilities with a frequency sweeping and then saturation of frequency as qmin decrease have been observed during Negative-ion-based Neutral Beam (NNB) injection in JT-60U Weak Shear (WS) plasmas. The frequency evolution of those MHD instabilities can be explained by Reversed-Shear-induced Alfvn Eigenemode model or Alfvn Cascade model. In recent experiments, a confinement degradation of energetic ions by such instabilities was clearly observed. In this work, we evoluate the confinement degradation of energetic ions by the instabilities usigng measurement of total neuron flux and neutron emission profile. Further, we will compare the confinement degradation by the above instabilities with that by Abrupt Large-amplitude Events (ALEs), which are bursting modes.
