Upgrade of two two-dimensional scintillation neutron detectors for SENJU diffractometer at the Materials and Life science experimental Facility in the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC MLF) is underway. The current status of detector development for this project is briefly reviewed. The detector upgrade plan includes detector developments such as thin add-in detectors, high efficiency detectors to replace the original detectors, a large area detector placed under the sample vacuum tank, rectangular shaped one-bank detectors. All of these new detectors are developed based on Li:ZnS scintillators and WLS fibers. Recently, we developed a detector with a detection area four times larger than the original one (2 2 size, 512 512 mm). Based on these results, work is now underway to further expand the detector area with rectangular shape of 1 3 (256 768 mm) and 2 3 (512 768 mm). The design and experimental results of the prototype detectors will be presented.

The structure of a recently-found hyperhydrated form of sodium chloride, NaCl 13H(D)O, has been determined by single-crystal neutron diffraction at 1.7 GPa and 298 K. It has large hydrogen-bond networks and some water molecules have distorted bonding features such as bifurcated hydrogen bonds and five-coordinated water molecules. The hydrogen-bond network has similarities to ice VI in terms of network topology and disordered hydrogen bonds. Assuming the equivalence of network components connected by pseudo symmetries, the overall network structure of this hydrate can be expressed by breaking it down into smaller structural units which correspond to the ice VI network structure. This hydrogen-bond network contains orientational disorder of water molecules in contrast to the known salt hydrates. Here, we present an example for further insights into a hydrogen-bond network containing ionic species.
