-ray circular polarization emitted from neutron capture reactions provide valuable information for nuclear physics studies. The spin and parity of excited states can be determined by measuring the circular polarization from polarized neutron capture reactions. Furthermore, the -ray circular polarization in a neutron capture resonance is crucial for studying the enhancement effect of parity nonconservation in compound nuclei. The -ray circular polarization can be measured using a polarimeter based on magnetic Compton scattering. A polarimeter was constructed, and its performance indicators were evaluated using a circularly polarized -ray beam. Furthermore, as a demonstration, the -ray circular polarization was measured in

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Physics, Nuclear)Neutron transmission experiments can offer a new type of highly sensitive search for time-reversal invariance violating (TRIV) effects in nucleon-nucleon interactions via the same enhancement mechanism observed for large parity violating (PV) effects in neutron-induced compound nuclear processes. In these compound processes, the TRIV cross-section is given as the product of the PV cross-section, a spin-factor 
, and a ratio of TRIV and PV matrix elements. We determined to be 0.59 
0.05 for 
La+n using both (n, ) spectroscopy and (+) transmission. This result quantifies for the first time the high sensitivity of the La 0.75 eV -wave resonance in a future search for -odd/-odd interactions in (+) forward transmission.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：77.10(Nuclear Science & Technology)Japanese Evaluated Nuclear Data Library version 5 (JENDL-5) was released in 2021. JENDL-5 is intended to extend its generality from JENDL-4.0 by covering a wide variety of nuclear data for applications not only to nuclear design and decommissioning, but also to radiation-related fields. Overview of JENDL-5 and a future plan for the next of JENDL-5 are presented. JENDL-5 includes up-to-date neutron reaction cross sections incorporating other various types of data such as newly evaluated nuclear decay, fission yield, and thermal neutron scattering law. The neutron induced reaction cross sections especially on minor actinides in the resonance regions are improved by the experimental data measured at ANNRI. The extensive benchmark analyses on neutron nuclear data were made and the performance of JENDL-5 was confirmed by benchmark tests of ICSBEP and IRPhEP as well as fast reactors, radiation shielding calculations, and so on. So far, several JENDL special-purpose files have been developed for various applications. The data cover neutron, charged particles, and photon induced reactions. As the neutron induced reaction files, two special purpose files of JENDL/AD-2017 and JENDL/ImPACT-2018 were released to meet needs of nuclear backend applications including activation evaluation for nuclear facilities and nuclear transmutations of high-level radioactive wastes of long-lived fission products, respectively. Furthermore, the photon, proton and deuteron data were released as JENDL/PD-2016.1, JENDL-4.0/HE and JENDL/DEU-2020, respectively, for accelerator applications. With updating the data, they were incorporated in JENDL-5 as sub-libraries for facilitation of usability of JENDL. As the next step of JENDL-5, provision of the proper and sufficient covariance will be a major challenge, where cross correlations across different reactions or data-types may play a significant role in connection with data assimilation for various applications.

被引用回数：3 パーセンタイル：17.72(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)The structural formation mechanism of phenolic resin-silica interfaces was investigated in situ by neutron reflectometry during curing. There was a 4 nm thick novolac resin adsorption layer on the silica surface before curing. The curing reaction of the novolac resin with hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) increased the coherent neutron scattering length density of the resin due to the cure shrinkage accompanied by the volatilization of ammonia, which is a byproduct of HMTA decomposition. As curing proceeded at 180
C, the thickness of the bulk layer increased despite the cure shrinkage, and the thickness of the interfacial layer decreased from 4 to 1 nm. This is attributed to the diffusion of decomposed HMTA fragments generated in the bulk layer into the interfacial novolac adsorption layer during diffusion throughout the bulk layer, incorporating the upper part of the interfacial layer reacting with the fragment into the bulk layer. On the other hand, the fragments could not diffuse into the tightly bound immobile segments of novolac resin in direct contact with the silica surface, retaining the 1-2 nm thick interfacial layer in the cured resin. This structural formation mechanism caused interfacial cross-link inhomogeneity in the cured resin on the silica surface.

被引用回数：7 パーセンタイル：27.12(Polymer Science)The interfacial structure of a hexamethylenetetramine-cured phenolic resin on a silica surface was investigated by the complementary use of X-ray and neutron reflectivity (XRR and NR, respectively). The contrast-variation technique was applied using D
O for the NR analysis in which the coherent neutron scattering length density (SLD) largely changed owing to the DO absorption of the dry phenolic resin and the hydrogen-to-deuterium exchange of phenolic hydroxyl groups. The XRR profile indicated no clear interfacial structure in terms of the mass density, whereas the NR profile indicated the presence of an interfacial nanolayer on the native silica surface according to the SLD. The thickness of the interfacial layer was 1-2 nm, which was independent of the thickness of the bulk resin layer. The formation of the interfacial layer on the silica surface could be caused by preferential adsorption of the novolac resin on the silica surface via strong hydrogen bonding between phenolic units in the novolac resin and silica surface comprising silanol and silyl ether groups resulting in interfacial cross-link inhomogeneity of the phenolic resin on the silica surface in the thickness direction. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an experimental elucidation of the buried interfacial structure between the phenolic resins on the silica surface at a nanometer level.

被引用回数：12 パーセンタイル：40.60(Polymer Science)The dynamics of methanol confined in highly cross-linked phenolic resins was investigated using incoherent quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) and atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The QENS analysis for adeuterated phenolic resin and both deuterated and nondeuterated methanol indicated the presence of resin dynamics induced by methanol invasion and confined diffusion of the methanol molecules. QENS results suggested that methanol had a diffusion coefficient of 1.6 
10
cm

cm/s. The MD trajectories also showed that the methanol diffusion was limited by the resin network, consistent with QENS results in terms of the diffusion coefficient and diffusion-like behavior.

ITER TFコイルに用いられるケーブルインコンジット(CIC)導体には、NbSn超伝導線が用いられている。CIC導体内部のNbSn超伝導線は、電磁力によって、波状の曲げ変形を受けることで、その超伝導性能が劣化する。導体性能を正確に評価するためには、この劣化量を正確に把握しておく必要がある。波状の曲げ変形を受けた時の素線の超伝導性能評価手法は、既に開発されているが、このような既存の手法は、膨大な計算時間を必要とするものであるため、導体内数百本分のNbSn超伝導線に同時に適用することは、計算時間やメモリ容量の観点から、不可能である。そのため、このようなNbSn超伝導線の波状曲げ変形に対して、計算時間を大幅に短縮することのできる新たな評価手法を確立する必要があった。そこで、われわれは、超伝導線内のフィラメント間で電流が転流しないことを仮定した高抵抗モデル(HTRM)と呼ばれる評価手法の概念を波状曲げ変形に導入することによって、定量的かつ高速に波状曲げ変形特性を評価することのできる手法を開発した。開発した手法を用いて計算したNbSn超伝導線の波状曲げ変形特性は、試験結果のそれと比較的よく一致し、本手法の妥当性を確認することができた。この結果は、NbSn超伝導線の波状曲げ変形特性を高速に評価できるようになったことによって、導体内数百本のNbSn超伝導線に対しても適用できることを示す。以上より、導体性能の定量的な評価が可能となった。

aire d'Orsay The Mg(O, 21n)S fusion evaporation reaction was used to populate high-spin states in S. The germanium -ray detector array ORGAM was employed to measure rays from high-spin states and charged particles evaporated from the compound nuclei were detected by a segmented silicon detector, Si-Ball. A level scheme for S was deduced based on the gamma-gamma-coincidence analysis and -ray angular correlation analysis. The half-life of the transition in the superdeformed band was estimated by measuring the residual Doppler shift. The deduced half-life shows the large collectivity of the band.

被引用回数：3 パーセンタイル：24.66(Nuclear Science & Technology)Neutron resonance densitometry (NRD) is a non-destructive analysis method, which can be applied to quantify special nuclear materials (SNM) in small particle-like debris of melted fuel that is formed in severe accidents of nuclear reactors such as the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants. NRD uses neutron resonance transmission analysis (NRTA) to quantify SNM and neutron resonance capture analysis (NRCA) to identify matrix materials and impurities. In order to generalize NRD for the characterization of arbitrary-shaped thick materials, a generalized method to analyze NRTA data has been developed. The method has been applied on data resulting from transmission through non-uniform thick samples with varying areal density of SNM up to 0.253 at/b (
100 g/cm). The investigation shows that NRD could be used to quantify SNM in not only uniform samples made of small particle-like debris but also non-uniform samples made of large rock-like debris with high accuracy by utilizing the generalized analysis method for NRTA.

Micro-processing procedures have been extensively studied using a Proton Beam Writing (PBW) technique in order to fabricate two or three dimensional microscopic patterns in single-crystal chemical vapor deposition (SC-CVD) diamonds. In this study, various microscopic patterns were drawn on SC-CVD diamonds (3.0 mm 3.0 mm 0.5 mm IIa single-crystal) at various fluences with PBW using 0.75 and 3 MeV proton beams. The beam conditions of PBW other than the beam energy were as follows; a beam size of 1 
m, a scanning area of 800 m 800 m and beam current of up to 100 pA. From the result of the observations based on the optical and electrical modification of SC-CVD, the microscopic patterns were fabricated in the diamonds by the micro-processing procedure varying fluence and beam energy. This result demonstrated that the micro-processing procedure with PBW enables us to fabricate the two or three dimensional microscopic patterns, which are optically and electrically modified, in SC-CVD diamonds by optimizing fluence and beam energy.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been developing the centrifugal contactor for spent fuel reprocessing. In this study, we investigated the sludge behavior in centrifugal contactors at three different scales. The operational conditions (the flow rate and rotor speed) were varied. Most insoluble particles such as sludge remained in the rotor via centrifugal force. The capture ratio of sludge in the contactor was measured as a function of particle size at various flow rates, rotor speeds, and contactor scales. The sludge adhered and accumulated inside the rotor as the operational time increased, and the operational conditions influenced the capture ratio of the sludge; a lower flow rate and higher rotor speed increased the capture ratio. The results confirmed that Stokes' law can be applied to estimate the experimental result on the behavior of the capture ratio for centrifugal contactors with different scales.

Recently, neutron shields of a large Ge detector array at the Accurate Neutron-Nucleus Reaction Measurement Instrument (ANNRI) in the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) were modified to suppress the background from boron rubber sheets to enriched 
LiF tiles. For the new experimental set-up, efficiencies and response functions of the cluster Ge detectors with the BGO anti-coincidence detectors were measured with -rays from standard sources and prompt -rays from the 
Si(n,) and Cl(n,) reactions. The simulation parameters were adjusted with the EGS5 code so as to reproduce the data set of efficiencies and response functions. Based on this information, a pulse height weighting function will be deduced in the energy range of 0.1-10 MeV.
