Ultrasonic wave reflection intensity of the wall of borehole drilled from bottom of the East Access Shaft in the Horonobe Underground Research Laboratory, Hokkaido, Japan, was obtained using an ultrasonic scanner (USS). In this paper, we compared results of USS observation with core logging data including core observation, optical digital scanner (ODS) observation, and result of Needle Penetration Index (NPI) tests. The results indicated that ultrasonic wave reflection intensity had a good correlation with other observation results. USS observation and NPI tests are useful techniques for determination of detailed rock mass classification.

Times Cited Count:23 Percentile:82.76(Astronomy & Astrophysics)Nuclear level density plays an important role in applications to nuclear energy and nuclear astrophysics, dominating neutron-capture cross sections. In this paper, we propose a new, practical and accurate method of estimating nuclear level density within the framework of the nuclear shell model, and show its feasibility and usefulness. This method is based on the idea that the level density is obtained by the number of eigenstates that is represented as a contour integral in the complex plane. We first confirm the feasibility of this method using a small system in which the exact eigenstates are available, and then calculate parity-dependent level density in Ni, which cannot be calculated with direct eigenstate counting. We succeed in reproducing the experimental result that the and level densities are almost identical in low-energy regions, which cannot be obtained with conventional methods of estimating level densities.
