The -electron states of NdB
were determined by observing crystalline electric field (CEF) excitations with inelastic neutron scattering experiments. Our analysis yields CEF excitation energies of 2.8, 12.4, 17.2, and 25.4 meV. The
-electron states are simply described by one of
-multiplets
with negligibly small mixing. The ground state is the pseudo-quartet consist of the ground doublet dominated by
and the first excited doublet dominated by
at 2.8 meV, which is consistent with magnetic specific heat and entropy reported in earlier study. The simple
-electron states in NdB
are the consequence of the strong uniaxial and in-plane isotropic CEF potential due to the local structure of Nd
ions with point symmetry

被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:98.29(Instruments & Instrumentation)JSNS investigates short-baseline neutrino oscillations using a 24-meter baseline and a 17-tonne Gd-loaded liquid scintillator target. Accurate event-reconstruction algorithms are crucial for analyzing experimental data. The algorithms undergo meticulous validation through calibration with a
Cf source. This paper outlines the methodology and evaluates the reconstruction performance, focusing on neutrino interactions up to approximately 50 MeV for sterile neutrino searches. Both
Cf and Michel electron events are studied to evaluate reconstruction accuracy. The analysis concludes that the uncertainty of the fiducial volume, with an appropriate correction, is much less than the requirement of JSNS
requirement (10%). Furthermore, the energy resolution is measured to be 3.3
0.1% for the Michel electron endpoint and 4.3
0.1% for the n-Gd peak in the central region.

被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:0.00(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We present the first measurement of the missing energy due to nuclear effects in monoenergetic, muon neutrino charged-current interactions on carbon, originating from decay at rest (
), performed with the J-PARC Sterile Neutrino Search at the J-PARC Spallation Neutron Source liquid scintillator based experiment. Toward characterizing the neutrino interaction, ostensibly
or
C
N, we define the missing energy as the energy transferred to the nucleus (
) minus the kinetic energy of the outgoing proton(s),
, and relate this to visible energy in the detector,
. The missing energy, which is naively expected to be zero in the absence of nuclear effects (e.g., nucleon separation energy, Fermi momenta, and final-state interactions), is uniquely sensitive to many aspects of the interaction, and has previously been inaccessible with neutrinos. The shape-only, differential cross section measurement reported, based on a
pure double-coincidence kaon decay-at-rest signal (621 total events), provides detailed insight into neutrino-nucleus interactions, allowing even the nuclear orbital shell of the struck nucleon to be inferred. The measurement provides an important benchmark for models and event generators at hundreds of MeV neutrino energies, characterized by the difficult-to-model transition region between neutrino-nucleus and neutrino-nucleon scattering, and relevant for applications in nuclear physics, neutrino oscillation measurements, and Type-II supernova studies.

Among a number of neutron scattering techniques, polarized neutron scattering is quite sensitive to the orientations of the magnetic moments, which are essential to understand microscopic mechanisms of the spin-driven emergent phenomena. Here, we present POlarized Neutron Triple-Axis spectrometer PONTA in the Japan Research Reactor 3 (JRR-3), and show the present capabilities of polarized and unpolarized neutron scattering by introducing recent results from the instrument.

被引用回数:23 パーセンタイル:86.83(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We report inelastic neutron scattering studies of the prototypical kagome magnetic metal FeSn. The spectra display well defined spin waves extending up to 120 meV. Above this energy, the spin waves become progressively broadened, reflecting interactions with the Stoner continuum. Using linear spin wave theory, we determine an effective spin Hamiltonian that explains the measured dispersion. This analysis indicates that the Dirac magnon at the K point occurs on the brink of a region where well defined spin waves become unobservable. Our results emphasize the influential role of itinerant carriers on the topological spin excitations of metallic kagome magnets.

被引用回数:25 パーセンタイル:94.96(Instruments & Instrumentation)The JSNS (J-PARC Sterile Neutrino Search at J-PARC Spallation Neutron Source) experiment aims to search for oscillations involving a sterile neutrino in the eV
mass-splitting range. The experiment will search for the appearance of electron antineutrinos oscillated from muon antineutrinos. The electron antineutrinos are detected via the inverse beta decay process using a liquid scintillator detector. A 1MW beam of 3 GeV protons incident on a spallation neutron target produces an intense and pulsed neutrino source from pion, muon, and kaon decay at rest. The JSNS
detector is located 24m away from the neutrino source and began operation from June 2020. The detector contains 17 tonnes of gadolinium (Gd) loaded liquid scintillator (LS) in an acrylic vessel, as a neutrino target. It is surrounded by 31 tonnes of unloaded LS in a stainless steel tank. Optical photons produced in LS are viewed by 120 R7081 Hamamatsu 10-inch Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs). In this paper, we describe the JSNS
detector design, construction, and operation.

被引用回数:10 パーセンタイル:64.24(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Dimensionality is a critical factor in determining the properties of solids and is an apparent built- in character of the crystal structure. However, it can be an emergent and tunable property in geometrically frustrated spin systems. Here, we study the spin dynamics of the tetrahedral cluster antiferromagnet, pharmacosiderite, via muon spin resonance and neutron scattering. We find that the spin correlation exhibits a two-dimensional characteristic despite the isotropic connectivity of tetrahedral clusters made of spin 5/2 Fe ions in the three-dimensional cubic crystal, which we ascribe to two-dimensionalisation by geometrical frustration based on spin wave calculations. Moreover, we suggest that even one-dimensionalisation occurs in the decoupled layers, generating low-energy and one-dimensional excitation modes, causing large spin fluctuation in the classical spin system.

The QSL in two-dimensional quantum spin systems is expected to be due to geometrical magnetic frustration, and thus a kagome-based lattice is the most probable playground for QSL. Here, we report the first experimental results of the QSL state on a square-kagome quantum antiferromagnet, KCuAlBiO

Cl. Comprehensive experimental studies via magnetic susceptibility, magnetisation, heat capacity, muon spin relaxation, and inelastic neutron scattering measurements reveal the formation of a gapless QSL at very low temperatures close to the ground state. The QSL behavior cannot be explained fully by a frustrated Heisenberg model with nearest-neighbor exchange interactions, providing a theoretical challenge to unveil the nature of the QSL state.

近年、中性子や放射光をプローブとした数10T以上の強磁場下で行う実験・研究への要望が増えてきている。強磁場装置を用いた中性子散乱実験は、例えば、磁場誘起超伝導体などにおける強磁場中磁気相関の研究やマルチフェロイック物質などの新しい凝縮系の研究などが挙げられる。J-PARC MLFでは、強磁場パルスマグネットシステムの開発をおこなった。一般的に数10テスラ以上の強磁場装置は大規模になるが、開発する装置はMLFの既存のビームラインに対して設置可能な小型な装置でなければならない。そこで数ミリ秒程度磁場を発生させるパルスマグネットシステムを開発した。パルス磁場にすることで、強磁場を達成しつつエネルギー・パワーを抑えることで装置の小型化が可能である。30テスラを発生可能なパルスマグネットシステムを実現するためには、高電圧・大電流パルス電源および、強磁場に耐えられるコイルと試料スティックが必要である。本発表では、開発したパルスマグネットシステムの詳細およびMLFビームライン(HRC)にて行なった中性子ビーム利用実験でのパルスマグネットシステムの状況について報告する。

被引用回数:12 パーセンタイル:60.36(Physics, Nuclear)Nonlinear cascade scattering of intense tightly focused laser pulses by relativistic electrons is studied numerically including the classical radiation damping. The electron energy loss, along with its side scattering by the ponderomotive force makes the scattering in the vicinity of high laser field nearly impossible at high electron energies. The use of a second co-propagating laser pulse as a booster is shown to solve this problem.
