被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:10.11(Chemistry, Analytical)At is a candidate nuclide for alpha-targeted therapy. In order to use At as a pharmaceutical, the radioactivity and chemical forms of generated At are the most fundamental specifications that need to be analyzed prior to its medical use. However, previous methods of separately measuring the radioactivity and chemical forms are not adaptable to the medical use of At because they cause a severe loss of At and do not analyze all the chemical forms of At. Therefore, a new analytical method for both the radioactivity and chemical forms of generated At is urgently needed. Accordingly, in this study, we developed an experimental system optimized to simultaneously analyze both the radioactivity and chemical forms of a At solution to significantly shorten the analysis time; we experimentally verified the accuracy and capabilities of this system at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. The experiments confirmed that the present system could analyze the radioactivity and all the chemical forms of At with an uncertainty of approximately 5% in the region higher than 150 Bq and that it was 200 times more sensitive than the conventional method using an imaging technique with an X-ray imaging plate. As a result, a new method for analyzing the radioactivity and chemical forms of At was successfully established and this method will meet the demands for alpha-targeted therapy using At. This method will contribute to promoting the stable supply of the medical use of At in the near future.

被引用回数:5 パーセンタイル:20.14(Astronomy & Astrophysics)The Zr()Zr reaction cross section is crucial in the modelling of -process nucleosynthesis in asymptotic giant branch stars because it controls the operation of the branching point at the unstable Zr and the subsequent production of Zr. We have carried out the measurement of the Zr(O,O) and Zr(O,O) reactions and obtained the -decay probability ratio of Zr and Zr to determine the Zr()Zr reaction cross sections with the surrogate ratio method. We tested our deduced maxwellian-averaged cross section in stellar models with masses between 2 and 6 and metallicities 0.014 and 0.03. The largest changes - up 80 % variations in Zr - are seen in the models of 3-4 , where the Ne neutron source is mildly activated. The new rate can still provide a match to data from meteoritic stardust silicon carbide grains, provided the maximum mass of the parent stars is below 4 , for a metallicity of 0.03.

被引用回数:5 パーセンタイル:41.83(Instruments & Instrumentation)Fission and capture reactions were simultaneously measured in the neutron-induced reactions of Am at J-PARC. Data were taken with the TOF method in = 0.120 eV. The fission events were observed by detecting prompt fission neutrons using liquid organic scintillators. The capture reaction was measured by detecting rays from the compound nuclei using the same detectors, where the prompt fission neutrons and capture rays were separated by a pulse shape analysis. The cross sections were obtained by normalizing the relative yields at the first resonance to evaluations or other experimental data. The ratio of the fission to capture cross sections at each resonance is compared with those from an evaluated nuclear data library and other experimental data. Some differences were found between the present values and the library/literature values at several resonances.

被引用回数:42 パーセンタイル:92.63(Astronomy & Astrophysics)It is shown that the multinucleon transfer reactions is a powerful tool to study fission of exotic neutron-rich actinide nuclei, which cannot be accessed by particle-capture or heavy-ion fusion reactions. In this work, multinucleon transfer channels of the O + Th reaction are used to study fission of fourteen nuclei Th, Pa, and U. Identification of fissioning nuclei and of their excitation energy is performed on an event-by-event basis, through the measurement of outgoing ejectile particle in coincidence with fission fragments. Fission fragment mass distributions are measured for each transfer channel, in selected bins of excitation energy. In particular, the mass distributions of Th and Pa are measured for the first time. Predominantly asymmetric fission is observed at low excitation energies for all studied cases, with a gradual increase of the symmetric mode towards higher excitation energy. The experimental distributions are found to be in general agreement with predictions of the fluctuation-dissipation model.

被引用回数:6 パーセンタイル:43.05(Physics, Nuclear)The relative -decay probability ratios of the neutron resonance states in Zr and Zr populated via two neutron transfer reactions, Zr(O,O)Zr and Zr(O,O)Zr, have been measured to test the validity of the surrogate ratio method (SRM) in determining the (n,) reaction cross section. The cross sections of the Zr(n,)Zr reaction are derived from the experimentally obtained ratios and the cross sections of the Zr(n,)Zr reaction in the equivalent neutron energy range of = 0 - 8 MeV. The deduced cross sections of Zr(n,)Zr reaction agree with the directly measured ones in the low-energy region, and with the evaluated ENDF/B-VII.1 data at higher energies of 3 MeV. The agreement supports the concept of the SRM method to indirectly determine the (n,) reaction cross sections.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Physics, Applied)A comprehensive approach to determine nuclear data of unstable nuclei will be described. It consists of a measurement of fission and capture cross sections, mass distribution of fission fragments (independent fission yields) and number of prompt fission neutrons by the method of surrogate reactions. A multi-dimensional Langevin model is being developed to estimate the independent fission yields theoretically. Furthermore, the decay properties of the fission fragments, almost all are neutron-rich unstable nuclei, are investigated systematically by improving the gross theory of decay, which will yield information on the decay heat and delayed-neutron data.

被引用回数:51 パーセンタイル:94.17(Astronomy & Astrophysics)Mass distributions of fission fragments from the compound nuclei Hg and Hg formed in fusion reactions Ar+Sm and Ar+Sm, respectively, were measured at initial excitation energies of (Hg)=,3366 MeV and (Hg)=,4871 MeV. In the fission of Hg, the mass spectra were well reproduced by assuming only an asymmetric-mass division, with most probable light and heavy fragment masses /79101. The mass asymmetry for Hg agrees well with that obtained in the low-energy /EC-delayed fission of Tl, from our earlier ISOLDE(CERN) experiment. Fission of Hg is found to proceed in a similar way, delivering the mass asymmetry of /83107, throughout the measured excitation energy range. The persistence as a function of excitation energy of the mass-asymmetric fission for both proton-rich Hg isotopes gives strong evidence for the survival of microscopic effects up to effective excitation energies of compound nuclei as high as 40,MeV. This behavior is different from fission of actinide nuclei and heavier mercury isotope Hg.

We take advantage of having (1) an electrostatic tandem accelerator which can deliver highly mono-energetic beams of heavy ions, (2) rich experience in in-beam spectroscopy, (3) rich experience in measuring fission fragments induced by heavy-ions, (4) nuclear theory and evaluation experiences. We have constructed apparatus to measure fission fragments and -rays in coincidence with ejectiles by which we can identify the populated compound nuclei. Primarily, we used O-induced reactions as well as He-induced reactions. We also investigated conditions under which such measurements lead to correct neutron cross sections. Results of the theoretical researches were published in a series of papers. In this presentation, status of results of the above researches will be summarized.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Physics, Nuclear)Fission fragment mass and kinetic energies distributions were measured in the heavy-ion induced reactions using U target nucleus at the energies around the Coulomb barrier. We observed strong variation of the fragment mass distribution with incident energy, which was explained by an energy dependence of the probabilities for fusion and quasifission. A calculation based on a fluctuation-dissipation model was carried out to determine the fusion probability in the reactions of Si+U and S+U. The fusion probabilities were consistent with those determied from the evaporation residue cross sections for both reactions, showing that in-beam fission measurement and analysis can give a reasonable estimation for the cross sections to produce super-heavy nuclei. We also discss the results for in-beam fission measurement of Ca+U.

被引用回数:25 パーセンタイル:76.45(Physics, Nuclear)The influence of the structure of projectile and target nuclei on the capture cross-sections was investigated for the reactions S+Pb and S+Pb. Capture cross-sections were deduced by measuring the fission fragments using multi-wire proportional counters. An enhancement of the capture cross-sections relative to an one-dimensional barrier penetration model was observed for all reactions at energies below the interaction barriers. The enhancement is larger in the case of reactions with S than with S. This observation is explained by a stronger coupling to the vibrational states in the reactions with S. Comparing the capture cross-sections and the evaporation-residue cross-sections for the reactions S+Pb and S+Pb, both yielding the same compound nucleus Cf, it is shown that the latter reaction has a lower fusion probability.

被引用回数:82 パーセンタイル:95.50(Physics, Nuclear)Fission cross sections and fission fragment mass distributions were measured in the reactions of Ca + U and Ca + U at energies around the Coulomb barrier. Fusion probabilities were calculated based on the fluctuation dissipation model. The measured mass distributions for both reactions showed an asymmetric shape at low incident energies, whereas the distribution changed to a flat shape at higher energies. The variation of the mass distribution is explained by a change of the ratio between fusion and qasifission with nuclear orientation. The calculation reproduced the mass distributions and their energy dependence. The trajectories for fusion-fission were used to determine the fusion probability. Fusion probabilities for both reactions are identical as function of the center-of-mass energy, but they differ when plotted as function of the excitation energy. The calculated evaporation residue cross sections for the reaction Ca + U using a statistical model showed that sub-barrier fusion reaction can be applied to form the element 112.

被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:47.15(Physics, Nuclear)Fission fragment mass distributions after full momentum transfer of the projectile were measured in the reactions using a U target nucleus bombarded by Si, P, S, Ar, Ca projectiles. We observed a strong variation of the distribution as function of bombarding energy. The results were interpreted by the effects of nuclear deformation of the target nucleus on the competition between fusion and quasifission. The symmetric fission includes fusion-fission, wheres as the asymmetric fission represents quasifission. The fusion probabilities were determined with the help of fluctuation-dissipation model. The estimated evaporation residue cross sections (Sg and Hs) produced in Si + U and S+U reproduced the experimental data.
