Random Matrix Theory (RMT) has been proposed to deal with the statistics of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of complex many-body quantum systems. For the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE) of matrices, RMT is expected to correctly describe fluctuation properties of nuclear levels at relatively high excitations, such as near the neutron threshold. The reduced partial width amplitudes, which determine the strength of the coupling between a resonance and a particular channel, have a Gaussian probability distribution centered at zero, while the reduced partial widths (the squares of the partial width amplitudes) have a chi-square distribution with one degree of freedom: the Porter-Thomas distribution. The fluctuation properties of partial radiative widths have been measured and studied for many nuclides. For Ta, the results reported by Wasson et al. and Stelts et al. are inconsistent, and its fluctuation properties of widths are not precisely understood. One possible reason for this disagreement may arise from imprecise determination of the spins of the resonances. We therefore planned to determine the spins of the resonances from measurements and examine the statistical fluctuations of the partial radiative widths based on the results of spins. In this study, as a first step, we measured the gamma-rays emitted by neutron capture reactions of Ta at J-PARC MLF ANNRI (BL04) and confirmed the fluctuations of the radiative widths. Using the spins of the resonances listed in the nuclear data library, JENDL-5, the present result was consistent with that of Stelts et al. which deviated from the Porter-Thomas distribution.

The NOPTREX collaboration aims to search for time-reversal symmetry breaking (T-violation) using compound nuclear reactions. To elucidate the mechanism of T-violation in compound nuclear reactions, we are measuring the spin-angle correlation term of the (n,) reaction. We have already successfully measured the angular distribution and transverse asymmetry of emitted gamma-rays for several nuclei, such as La and 
Sn. As the next step, we measured the circular polarization of the emitted gamma-rays from the 0.75-eV p-wave resonance of La(n,)La reactions. The measurements were performed at J-PARC MLF BL04 (ANNRI). The circular polarization of gamma-rays was measured using the developed gamma-ray polarimeter. Although the circular polarization observed was weak, this first measurement on the resonances allowed us to place limits on the circular polarization from the p-wave resonance. In this presentation, we will report the details of the experiment and future plans.

To obtain accurate results in the keV neutron region, the recently developed neutron filtering technique was employed with a 20-cm-thick 
Si filter to tailor the incident neutron flux into quasi-monoenergetic neutron peaks with averaged neutron energies of 51.5 and 127.7 keV and, at the same time, hugely increase the signal-to-noise ratio. The present cross-section results were determined form the capture yield ratio of I to that of 
Au and using the evaluated nuclear data from JENDL-5 as reference. The I neutron capture cross section was found to be 0.278 
0.034 b at 51.5 keV and 0.141 0.015 b 127.7 keV, validating the JENDL-5 and JEFF-3.3 evaluations, as well as the results from Noguere et al., in contrast to the larger evaluations of JENDL-4.0 and ENDF/B-VIII.1 and the data from Macklin et al.

For the neutron total cross-section measurements, Li-glass detectors were employed to derive the neutron transmission ratio of three Er transmission samples with thicknesses of 1 mm, 0.175 mm and 0.05 mm. The neutron capture cross-section was determined from measurements of 0.025-mm-thick Er samples with NaI(Tl) and Ge spectrometers in separate experiments, since they offer complementary capabilities. Moreover, the capture cross-section of 
Er was derived below 1 eV, since it accounted for over 95% of the capture events in Er. Finally, the resolved resonance region up to 65 eV was analyzed using the REFIT code. The resonance parameters of 20 Er resonances, together with one resonance for each 
Er and 
Er were determined in a least-square fit using a combination of both capture data and the transmission data from the thicker 1 mm and 0.175 mm samples. T

被引用回数：6 パーセンタイル：74.40(Physics, Nuclear)Measurements of -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 S(n,)S reactions with polarized neutrons.

The neutron capture yield was determined by means of the total energy detection principle with the pulse-height weighting technique. The present cross section results for I were normalized using the saturated resonance method with a thick-enough Au and provide good agreement with JENDL-5 from thermal to about 500 keV. A resonance analysis with the REFIT code was performed and the resonance parameters for I below 310 eV are presented in this work. In the case of I, the three largest resonances of I were employed for the cross section normalization. The present results for I are the first experimental data for the neutron region between thermal and 20 eV. The present data display a different energy dependence than that in the JENDL-5 and JEFF-3.3 and much similar to that in ENDF/B-VIII.0. Notwithstanding, good agreement was found at the thermal region between the present measurement of 31.6 1.3 b and both evaluated and most experimental data.

The total cross section was determined from the transmission ratio in the energy range from 0.2 to 150 eV. The capture cross section was obtained from the capture yield using the pulse height weighting technique (PHWT) in the energy range from thermal to 150 eV. The obtained transmission ratio and capture cross-section were fitted by the resonance analysis code, REFIT, and the resonance parameters were determined below 150 eV. It was also discussed the correlations caused by fitting based on statistical uncertainty and correlations for systematic uncertainty based on sample thickness in the transmission measurements.

被引用回数：7 パーセンタイル：58.40(Nuclear Science & Technology)Neutron total and capture cross-section measurements of Gd and Gd were performed in the ANNRI at the MLF of the J-PARC. The neutron total cross sections were determined in the energy region from 5 to 100 meV. At the thermal neutron energy, the total cross sections were obtained to be 59.41.7 and 251.94.6 kilobarn for Gd and Gd, respectively. The neutron capture cross sections were determined in the energy region from 3.5 to 100 meV with an innovative method by taking the ratio of the detected capture event rate between thin and thick samples. At the thermal energy, the capture cross sections were obtained as 59.02.5 and 247.43.9 kilobarn for Gd and Gd, respectively. The present total and capture cross sections agree well within the standard deviations. The results for Gd were found to be consistent with the values in JENDL-4.0 and the experimental data given by Mastromarco et al. and Leinweber et al. within one standard deviation. Moreover, the present results for Gd agreed with the evaluated data in JENDL-4.0 and the experimental data by M
ller et al. within one standard deviation and agreed with the data by Mastromarco et al. within 1.4 standard deviations. However, they disagree (11% larger) with the experimental result by Leinweber et al.

We found mild angular correlations for the strong, but rare transitions from the resonance state to two excited levels with known spin and parities. In contrast, angular correlations was negligibly small for arbitrary pairs of two -rays produced in the majority of transitions in continuum states.

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.

Thick cylindrical slabs of Fe, Si and Cr which share the characteristic of a sharp minimum in the neutron total cross section, were separately introduced in an intermediate stage of the beamline, before the NaI(Tl) spectrometer experimental area. The filtered neutron beams were analyzed by means of both neutron capture and transmission experiments. Moreover, further information about the neutron energy distribution within the filtered peaks was derived through the use of Monte-Carlo simulations with the PHITS code. The characteristics of the filtered neutron beams for Fe, i and Cr are presented together with Au standard experimental results to assess the performance of the neutron filtering system in neutron capture cross section experiments.
