The atomic masses of Sc, Ti, and V have been determined using the high-precision multireflection time-of-flight technique. The radioisotopes have been produced at RIKEN's Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) and delivered to the novel designed gas cell and multireflection system, which has been recently commissioned downstream of the ZeroDegree spectrometer following the BigRIPS separator. For Ti and V, the mass uncertainties have been reduced down to the order of 10 keV, shedding new light on the shell effect in Ti and V isotopes by the first high-precision mass measurements of the critical species Ti and V. With the new precision achieved, we reveal the nonexistence of the empirical two-neutron shell gaps for Ti and V, and the enhanced energy gap above the occupied p orbit is identified as a feature unique to Ca. We perform new Monte Carlo shell model calculations including the d and g orbits and compare the results with conventional shell model calculations, which exclude the g and the d orbits. The comparison indicates that the shell gap reduction in Ti is related to a partial occupation of the higher orbitals for the outer two valence neutrons at .

冷たい核融合反応および熱い融合反応によって生成した変形閉殻中性子数152の近傍に位置する原子核Es, Fm、および超フェルミウム原子核Md, Noの質量の直接測定を、多反射時間飛行質量分析装置(MR-TOF)を用いて実施した。EsおよびMdの質量測定は世界で初めての成果である。さらにMdの質量を崩壊連鎖のアンカーポイントとして用いてBhおよびMtまでの重い原子核の質量を決定した。これらの新測定された質量を理論質量計算と比較し、巨視的・微視的模型の予測値と良い一致が見られることを示した。近接する3つの質量値から求められる経験的殻ギャップエネルギーを今回の質量値から求め、MdおよびLrに対する変形閉殻中性子数の存在を裏付ける結果を得た。

We have developed a time-of-flight (ToF) array consisting of 24 plastic scintillators for triggering and timing measurements in a series of planned experiments to study double-strangeness hadronic and nuclear systems at the K1.8 beamline of J-PARC. Each ToF scintillator is 180 cm long with a cross-section of 83 cm and is read out by H1949-50 photomultiplier tubes at both ends. The timing and attenuation properties of the scintillators are measured using cosmic-ray muons and rays from . The cosmic-ray muon events are triggered by three pairs of 120-cm-long plastic scintillators, sandwiching the ToF array. The intrinsic time resolutions of the scintillators are estimated to be in the range 60-100 ps, which is adequate for reliable separation between and at 1.2 GeV/. The attenuation length is measured to be approximately 210 cm, which is half that for a bulk scintillator.
