Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:68.16(Astronomy & Astrophysics)Detailed -ray spectroscopy of the exotic neon isotope Ne has been performed using the one-neutron removal reaction from Ne. Based on an analysis of parallel momentum distributions, a level scheme with spin-parity assignments has been constructed for Ne and the negative-parity states are identified for the first time. The measured partial cross sections and momentum distributions reveal a significant intruder p-wave strength providing evidence of the breakdown of the N = 20 and N = 28 shell gaps. Only a weak, possible f-wave strength was observed to bound final states. Large-scale shell-model calculations with different effective interactions do not reproduce the large p-wave and small f-wave strength observed experimentally, indicating an ongoing challenge for a complete theoretical description of the transition into the island of inversion along the Ne isotopic chain.

Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:28.33(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)The quality factor (Q) is the index which is used when evaluating the stochastic (e.g., carcinogenic) risk of diverse ionizing radiations. While the Q value can be commonly determined from the Linear Energy Transfer (LET), more elaborate approaches are based on the microdosimetric parameter lineal energy (y) calculated either by analytical model or Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. However, the developing of the model for determining the Q value is still ongoing worldwide for realizing the precise risk assessment. In this study, various generalized analytical models that account for both -ray transport and energy-loss straggling effects are utilized to evaluate the Q values over the proton energy range 1-250 MeV. The results revealed that the LET-based ICRP Report 60 recommendations underestimate the microdosimetric-based Q values of protons with energy below 100 MeV, which was also confirmed by using MC simulation data on the y values. The present work shows that analytic models may offer a practical alternative to computer-intensive MC simulations for calculating Q values based on the microdosimetric methodologies. In future study, we are planning to compare the y spectra and subsequent calculations of Q based on new MC data with the latest versions of Geant4-DNA and PHITS track structure codes which make use of different physics models.

Times Cited Count:43 Percentile:96.7(Physics, Multidisciplinary)A quasifree (,) experiment was performed to study the structure of the Borromean nucleus B, which had long been considered to have a neutron halo. By analyzing the momentum distributions and exclusive cross sections, we obtained the spectroscopic factors for and orbitals, and a surprisingly small percentage of 9(2)% was determined for . Our finding of such a small component and the halo features reported in prior experiments can be explained by the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum, revealing a definite but not dominant neutron halo in B. The present work gives the smallest - or -orbital component among known nuclei exhibiting halo features and implies that the dominant occupation of or orbitals is not a prerequisite for the occurrence of a neutron halo.

Times Cited Count:73 Percentile:94.03(Nuclear Science & Technology)The results of an international review of separation processes for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) recycling in future closed fuel cycles with the evaluation of Technology Readiness Level are reported. This study was made by the Expert Group on Fuel Recycling Chemistry (EGFRC) organised by the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). A unique feature of this study was that processes were classified according to a hierarchy of separations aimed at different elements within spent fuel (uranium; uranium-plutonium co-recovery; minor actinides; high heat generating radionuclides) and also the Head-end processes, used to prepare the SNF for chemical separation, were included. Separation processes covered both wet (hydrometallurgical) and dry (pyro-chemical) processes.

The ITER organization and 6 Domestic Agencies (DA) have been implementing the construction of ITER superconducting magnet systems. Four DAs have already started full scale construction of Toroidal Field (TF) coil conductors. The qualification of the radial plate manufacture has been completed, and JA and EU are ready for full scale construction. JA has qualified full manufacturing processes of the winding pack with a 1/3 prototype and made 2 full scale mock-ups of the basic segments of TF coil structure to optimize and industrialize the manufacturing process. Preparation and qualification of the full scale construction of the TF coil winding is underway by EU. Procurement of the manufacturing equipment is near completion and qualification of manufacturing processes has already started. The constructions of other components of the ITER magnet systems are also going well towards the main goal of the first plasma in 2020.
