Experimental evidence for the mass and the chiral condensate of hadrons is still poor. To challenge this situation we aim to measure meson mass inside the nucleus through
decays in proton-nucleus collisions at J-PARC. In this presentation we will show the experimental proposal (E88), and the status of preparation.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We conducted a measurement of the inclusive missing-mass spectrum in the C
reaction at an incident beam momentum of 1.8 GeV/
. This measurement was carried out utilizing the Superconducting Kaon Spectrometer (SKS) and the K1.8 beamline spectrometer at the Hadron Experimental Hall in J-PARC. Remarkably, our experimental setup yielded an exceptionaly good energy resolution of 8.2 MeV (FWHM), enabling us to observe significant enhancements in the vicinity of the
Be threshold region. In order to estimate the spectrum information, we employed several fitting parameters assumptions. The best agreement with the spectrum shape was obtained with combining quasi-free (QF) component and two-Gaussian functions, with the experimental resolution
being held constant. The peak positions were obtained to be

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Nuclear Science & Technology)We newly developed a detailed simulation method for the oxide layer growth/recession under steam-starved conditions using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodologies to elaborate the understanding of failure conditions of fuel assemblies during severe accidents. The new method uses the concept of the distance function in a Cartesian grid and is implemented in the original multiphase/multicomponent CFD code named JUPITER (JAEA Utility Program for Interdisciplinary Thermal-hydraulics Engineering and Research). A distance calculation of the normal direction from the interface is generally difficult in a Cartesian grid. However, the distance function can give a distance normal to the surface of materials by referring to the value of the function. Thus, the growth/recession calculations, which require the distance normal to the interface, become very easy. We checked the availability of JUPITER, considering these models against the verification and validation problems. As a result, we confirmed that JUPITER gives good results, which may contribute to understanding the progress of core degradation under steam-starved conditions.

The magnet is a Helmholtz-type dipole magnet with two circular coils with a radius of 500 mm separated by 500 mm. It provides a uniform magnetic field of 1.0 T or higher in a volume of mm
600 mm, covering the drift region of a time projection chamber (TPC). Owing to the target location inside the TPC, the Hyperon spectrometer has a broad angular coverage with a nearly
solid angle. We have successfully excited the magnet up to 1.3 T. At 1.0 T, we operated it stably for more than 1 week in single-magnet configuration and double-magnet configuration with a normal-conducting 0.7-T dipole magnet located 30 cm apart. The measured magnetic field distribution in the TPC volume is consistent with the calculated field map.

A new hyperon-proton scattering experiment, dubbed J-PARC E40, was performed to measure differential cross sections of the ,
elastic scatterings and the
scattering by identifying a lot of
particles in the momentum ranging from 0.4 to 0.8 GeV/
produced by the
reactions. We successfully measured the differential cross sections of these three channels with a drastically improved accuracy with a fine angular step. These new data will become important experimental constraints to improve the theories of the two-body baryon-baryon interactions. Following this success, we proposed a new experiment to measure the differential cross sections and spin observables by using a highly polarized
beam for providing quantitative information on the
interaction. The results of three
channels and future prospects of the
scattering experiment are described.

elastic scattering events were identified from

The obtained differential cross sections were approximately 2 mb/sr or less, which were not as large as those predicted by the fss2 and FSS models based on the quark cluster model in the short-range region. By performing phase-shift analyses for the obtained differential cross sections, we experimentally derived the phase shifts of the

被引用回数:6 パーセンタイル:67.20(Physics, Nuclear)Small nuclear collisions are mainly sensitive to cold-nuclear-matter effects; however, the collective behavior observed in these collisions shows a hint of hot-nuclear-matter effects. The identified-particle spectra, especially the mesons which contain strange and antistrange quarks and have a relatively small hadronic-interaction cross section, are a good tool to study these effects. The PHENIX experiment has measured
mesons in a specific set of small collision systems
Al,
Au, and
He
Au, as well as
Au, at
GeV. The transverse-momentum spectra and nuclear-modification factors are presented and compared to theoretical-model predictions. The comparisons with different calculations suggest that quark-gluon plasma may be formed in these small collision systems at
GeV. However, the volume and the lifetime of the produced medium may be insufficient for observing strangeness-enhancement and jet-quenching effects. Comparison with calculations suggests that the main production mechanisms of
mesons at midrapidity may be different in
Al versus
He
Au collisions at
GeV. While thermal quark recombination seems to dominate in
He
Au collisions, fragmentation seems to be the main production mechanism in
Al collisions.

被引用回数:15 パーセンタイル:91.22(Physics, Nuclear)Suppression of the nuclear-modification factor has been seen as a trademark signature of final-state effects in large collision systems for decades. In small systems, the nuclear modification was attributed to cold-nuclear-matter effects until the observation of strong differential suppression of the
state in
collisions suggested the presence of final-state effects. Results of
and
measurements in the dimuon decay channel are presented here for
,
Al, and
Au collision systems at
GeV. The results are predominantly shown in the form of the nuclear-modification factor,
, the ratio of the
invariant yield per nucleon-nucleon collision in collisions of proton on target nucleus to that in
collisions. Measurements of the
and
nuclear-modification factor are compared with shadowing and transport-model predictions, as well as to complementary measurements at Large-Hadron-Collider energies.

production, the nucleons in the

He interact mostly independently with the Au nucleus and that the counter intuitive centrality dependence is likely due to a physical correlation between multiplicity and the presence of a hard scattering process. These observations disfavor models where parton energy loss has a significant contribution to nuclear modifications in small systems. Nuclear modifications at lower

+
/Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. In particular, the analysis of data at RHIC for different geometries obtained by varying the projectile size and shape has proven insightful. In the present analysis, we find excellent agreement with the previously published PHENIX at RHIC results on elliptical and triangular flow with an independent analysis via the two-particle correlation method, which has quite different systematic uncertainties and an independent code base. In addition, the results are extended to other detector combinations with different kinematic (pseudorapidity) coverage. These results provide additional constraints on contributions from nonflow and longitudinal decorrelations.

Al, and
Au collision data at center of mass energies of
GeV with the proton beam(s) transversely polarized. At very forward rapidities
relative to the polarized proton beam, neutrons were detected either inclusively or in (anti)correlation with detector activity related to hard collisions. The resulting single spin asymmetries, that were previously reported, have now been extracted as a function of the transverse momentum of the neutron as well as its longitudinal momentum fraction
. The explicit kinematic dependence, combined with the correlation information allows for a closer look at the interplay of different mechanisms suggested to describe these asymmetries, such as hadronic interactions or electromagnetic interactions in ultra-peripheral collisions, UPC. Events that are correlated with a hard collision indeed display a mostly negative asymmetry that increases in magnitude as a function of transverse momentum with only little dependence on
. In contrast, events that are not likely to have emerged from a hard collision display positive asymmetries for the nuclear collisions with a kinematic dependence that resembles that of a UPC based model. Because the UPC interaction depends strongly on the charge of the nucleus, those effects are very small for
collisions, moderate for
Al collisions, and large for
Au collisions.
