Ca, Sc, and 
Ti at the RIBF facility in RIKEN, and its deexcited 
rays are observed for the first time. The first 
level in Ar is identified to lie at 1178(18)keV from the most intense -ray spectra. This experimental data, together with the systematics of the levels for surrounding nuclei, is analyzed with large-scale shell-model calculations. Consequently, the 
sub-shell gap in Ar is equivalent to that of 
Ca, thus making the level in Ar higher than that of 
Ar. The shell-model calculation also predicts that the sub-shell gap enhances in going from Ca to Ar, which will be verified by forthcoming experiments for Ar.

Times Cited Count：5 Percentile：19.29(Chemistry, Physical)Electron attachment dynamics to the guanine-cytosine (G-C) base pair in the gas phase isstudied using DFT and molecular dynamics. The potential energy surface of the G-C anion isconstructed with the empirical-valence-bond method using force-field information obtained from long-range corrected DFT calculations. Ring-polymer molecular dynamics simulations predict that theinitial dipole-bound anion readily converts into the valence-bound anion within 0.1 ps and proton-transfer occurs subsequently within 10 ps. The same process was found in classical simulations, buton a much slower time scale. This result suggests that nuclear quantum effects are important inunderstanding DNA damage by low-energy electrons.

The spatial resolution of hydrothermal method grown zinc oxide (ZnO) scintillator was evaluated using X-ray laser focused with Fresnel zone plate. The fluorescence image of the ZnO scintillator was measured to be less than 10um using CCD camera coupled with a Schbartzchild expander mirror. The availability of large size ZnO crystal up to 3-inch is quite attractive for future lithography and imaging applications.

At the same time, keV X-ray is also generated at almost the same place where protons are emitted. Here, we show the successful demonstration of simultaneous proton and X-ray projection images of a test sample placed close to the source with a resolution of 10
m, which is determined from the source sizes. Although the experimental configuration is very simple, the simultaneity is better than a few hundreds of ps. A CR-39 track detector and imaging plate, which are placed as close as possible to the CR-39, are used as detectors of protons and X-ray. The technique is applicable to the precise observation of microstructures.

time-of-flight spectrometer, which provides 
proton-energy distributions immediately after the irradiation of a laser pulse having an intensity of 
W/cm
onto a 5-m-thick copper foil. The maximum proton energy is found to increase when the intensity of a fs-prepulse arriving 9 ns before the main pulse increases from 10
to 10
W/cm. Interferometric measurement indicates that the preformed-plasma expansion at the front surface is smaller than 15 m, which corresponds to the spatial resolution of the diagnostics. This sharp gradient of the plasma makes a beneficial effect on increasing the absorption efficiency of the main-pulse energy, resulting in the increase in the proton energy. This is supported by the result that the X-ray intensity from the laser plasma clearly increases with the prepulse intensity.

Mercury target will be installed at the material and life facility in J-PARC. Pressure waves will be generated in mercury by thermally shocked heat deposition when the high intense proton beams bombard the mercury target. Cavitation will be induced through the pressure wave propagation in the mercury and eroded the vessel inner surface contacting with the mercury. The eroded vessel wall is damaged by cyclic fatigue because pulsed proton beams strike the target repeatedly. It is, therefore, important to investigate the fatigue strength of the eroded vessel wall. In order to precisely investigate the effects of damages, at the first, the pitting damage by erosion was evaluated against the number of pulses, and then the fatigue test was carried out using the specimen with a certain pitting damage. As a result, the fitigue limit with pitting damage is degraded to less than half of that without pitting damage, after 2500 hrs operation at 1MW.
