Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：34.56(Chemistry, Analytical)In Earth and planetary science, Pb isotopic composition is well known to play a key role in deciphering the origin and evolution of materials because they provide unique chronological and/or indigenous regional information as a radiogenic daughter nuclide from U and Th. To determine such an isotopic composition, a mass spectrometer has been widely used over several decades, which requires a destructive treatment such as laser ablation and thermal ionization, so on. Here we first report the non-destructive Pb isotopic measurement of the natural galena (PbS) using an energy-shift of muon-induced characteristic X-rays. The observed Pb isotopic composition of the natural galena is in good agreement with that obtained by conventional mass spectrometry.

Times Cited Count：24 Percentile：70.06(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Electron- or X-ray-induced characteristic X-ray analysis has been widely used to determine chemical compositions of materials in vast research fields. In recent years, analysis of characteristic X-rays from muonic atoms, in which a muon is captured, has attracted attention because both a muon beam and a muon-induced characteristic X-ray have high transmission abilities. Here we report the first non-destructive elemental analysis of a carbonaceous chondrite using one of the world-leading intense direct current muon beam source (MuSIC; MUon Science Innovative Channel). We successfully detected characteristic muonic X-rays of Mg, Si, Fe, O, S and C from Jbilet Winselwan CM chondrite, of which carbon content is about 2 wt percent, and the obtained elemental abundance pattern was consistent with that of CM chondrites.

Times Cited Count：13 Percentile：40.56(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)The National Centralized Tokamak (NCT) facility program is a domestic research program for advanced tokamak research to succeed JT-60U incorporating Japanese university accomplishments. The mission of NCT is to establish high beta steady-state operation for DEMO and to contribute to ITER. The machine flexibility and mobility is pursued in aspect ratio and shape controllability, feedback control of resistive wall modes, wide current and pressure profile control capability for the demonstration of the high-b steady state.

The JT-60SA tokamak, which is a large superconducting tokamak, needs to be assembled consistently with high precision; assembly of the JT-60SA tokamak has been studied. The absolute coordinate system for the assembly is defined on the basis of the coordinate system of the JT-60 torus hall. The origin ((x, y, z) = (0, 0, 0)) of the absolute coordinate system is defined to be the center of the VV in the plasma operation. A consistent global scenario of the assembly is studied. Assembly procedures and tools for major components such as the TFCs are studies.

In recent years, analysis of characteristic X-rays from muonic atoms, in which a muon is captured, has attracted attention because both a muon beam and a muon-induced characteristic X-ray have high transmission abilities, of which energies are about 200 times higher. From these features, a muonic X-ray analysis has great advantages in several ways. At the conference, we will report on our recent progress of muonic X-ray analysis and discuss on a future prospect for applications for Earth and planetary science.
