In neutron fundamental physics, study of correlation term of a neutron spin and a target nuclear spin is important because term interferes to parity non-conserving (PNC) and time reversal non-conserving terms. For this study, a xenon (Xe) is an interesting nucleus because it has been observed an enhancement of PNC effect around neutron resonance peaks, and polarizes up to by using a spin exchange optical pumping (SEOP) method. We would plan to develop a polarized Xe gas target with a compact in-situ SEOP system, and to study term by utilizing epithermal neutron beams supplied from a high intense pulsed spallation neutron source. As the first step, we attempted to measure neutron polarizing ability caused by term at a 9.6 eV s-wave resonance peak of Xe at BL10 in MLF, by detecting change of ratio between neutron transmissions with the polarized and unpolarized Xe target. After demonstrating that our apparatus could detect small change () of neutron transmissions caused by Doppler broadening effect, a signified value of has been obtained as preliminary results. For analyzing the obtained in detail, we are improving our nuclear magnetic resonance and electron paramagnetic resonance systems for evaluating Xe polarization independently of neutron beams.

The technology development section carries out the development of the neutron polarization device: He Spin Filter. It is often used for the fundamental physics region. In order to explain the matter-dominated universe, a time reversal violation is necessary and searches for new physics are conducted in the world. The T-violation search using a polarized neutron beam is planned at J-PARC. A large He spin filter is needed to polarize high energy neutrons for the experiment and is developed in JAEA. Recently, we developed the accurate measurement system to evaluate the polarization of He and a vacuum system to make the He spin filter, and large He spin filters for epi-thermal neutron was made using the system. The current status of the development of the He spin filter will be talked.

The polarized He filter, which polarizes neutrons due to a large neutron absorption cross section of He with strong spin selectivity, becomes a convenient neutron spin filter (NSF) because it is operated immediately after its installation in beam lines without any neutron beam adjustments. For realizing such the NSF, a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system is indispensable for monitoring He nuclear spin polarization of the NSF. We have developed the flexible NMR system based on adiabatic fast passage (AFP) and pulse NMR methods by using their complementary features. In comparing with the values of obtained by neutron transmission measurement at the beam line 10 of the J-PARC, we measured the correlations between the AFP and pulse NMR signals as changing condition of temperature, amplitude and applying period of the radio frequency field for the pulse NMR, and so on. As the results, we confirmed that our system would function enough as the monitor.

Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:25.85(Chemistry, Analytical)A technique to utilize radioisotopes of Nb and Ta was developed for chemical studies of element 105, Db, by coupling a gas-jet transport system to the RIKEN gas-filled recoil ion separator (GARIS). The short-lived Nb and Ta were produced with nuclear reactions using a F beam whose energy was the same as that to produce Db. Then, they were separated with GARIS and extracted to a chemistry laboratory with the gas-jet transport system. By changing only magnetic field of GARIS and inserting an energy degrader and a shutter for recoil ions, we could deliver the Nb and Ta to a chemistry device for Db without changing other experimental conditions.

The excitation functions of Rf, Rf, and Rf were obtained together with those of spontaneously fissioning nuclides which have few-second half-lives and have been assigned to Rf and a longer-lived state of Rf. The excitation function of few-second spontaneously fissioning nuclide exhibited the maximum cross section at the O beam energy of 94.8 MeV. The shape of the excitation function was almost the same as that of Rf, whereas it was quite different from those of Rf and Rf. A few-second spontaneously fissioning nuclide previously reported as Rf and Rf observed inCm + O reaction was identified as Rf.

Times Cited Count:167 Percentile:97.27(Physics, Multidisciplinary)An isotope of the 113th element, 113, was produced in a nuclear reaction with a Zn beam on a Bi target. We observed six consecutive decays following the implantation of a heavy particle in nearly the same position in the semiconductor detector, in extremely low background condition. The fifth and sixth decays are fully consistent with the sequential decays of Db and Lr both in decay energies and decay times. This indicates that the present decay chain consisted of 113, Rg (Z = 111), Mt (Z = 109), Bh (Z = 107), Db (Z = 105), and Lr (Z = 103) with firm connections. This result, together with previously reported results from 2004 and 2007, conclusively leads the unambiguous production and identification of the isotope 113, of the 113th element.

The spin dynamics of the quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnet CuClHCSO was investigated by the electron spin resonance (ESR). The system has a spin gap, but the direct ESR transition of the spin gap is forbidden due to the spin conservation law, because the spin gap is an energy gap between the singlet and triplet states. However, the direct ESR transition of the spin gap was observed for this material. The present study revealed that the origin of the direct ESR transition is the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction, and applying the selection rule of the angle-dependent ESR intensity, we successfully specified the direction of the interaction vector.

We performed the experiment to synthesize an isotope of the element 113 produced by a Bi(Zn,n)113 reaction using a gas-filled recoil ion separator (GARIS) at RIKEN. Two decay chains were observed, and assigned to those originating from an isotope 113. Both chains were connected into the previously known decays of Bh and Db via previously unknown decays of 113, Rg, and Mt. Although the Bh was known nuclide, a number of atoms reported so far was limited. In order to study more precise decay property of the Bh, we performed the direct production of Bh by the Cm(Na,5n)Bh reaction. In this experiment, the Bh was clearly identified from the correlation of the nuclide, Db. The obtained decay properties of Bh and Db are consistent with those observed in the 113 chain, which provided further confirmation of the discovery of 113.

Short-lived isomer Rf were observed only in the decay chain of Cn or Hs, so far. In this work, we performed to confirm that the Rf would be produced in the reaction of Cm +O simultaneously with the production of Rf (T = 68s) by using a gas-filled recoil ion separator (GARIS) at the RIKEN linear accelerator.

The decay property of Cn (atomic number, ) produced in the Pb(Zn, ) reaction was studied. The experiment was performed using the gas-filled recoil ion separator (GARIS) at the RIKEN liner accelerator facility (RILAC). The Pb target with about 630 g/cm thickness was bombarded with 347.5, 351.5, and 355.5 MeV Zn beam. At the beam energy of 351.5 MeV, we observed one -decay chain from Cn. The -particle energy of Cn was MeV and its lifetime was measured to be 0.370 ms. Including our previous result of the Cn production in 2004, the cross section of the Pb(Zn, ) reaction is deduced to be pb.

We have been developing a He neutron spin filter (NSF) for the efficient utilization of pulsed neutrons, since it can polarize neutrons effectively in a wide energy range. The He NSF is effective even for neutrons with energy higher than several-tens-meV, so that it will be useful for the study of high-energy magnetic excitation. Since the He NSF can also cover a large solid angle and polarize neutrons without deflecting them from their original course, it is suitable for the analyzer for SANS instruments and reflectometers. In addition, the He NSF will be a key device in the application of recently developed magnetic field imaging technique by using polarized pulsed neutrons. In order to apply the He NSF to experiments at a pulsed neutron experimental facility such as the J-PARC, it is important to make the system stable and easy to setup and operate, because the system is located inside a radiation shield for high energy ray and neutrons. In this study, we have developed compact laser optics with a volume holographic grating element for a spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) system, and composed an in-situ SEOP He NSF.
