反応度モデルの適用性確認のため、タンク型高速実験炉EBR-IIのULOHS模擬試験のベンチマーク解析に参加している。コールドプールを完全混合モデルで模擬したプラント動特性解析(1D)コードを使用したブラインドフェーズにおける解析では、コールドプールで発生している温度成層化現象を無視したことにより、炉心入口温度の上昇が緩慢であり、フィードバック反応度が過小評価されていることがわかった。そこで、本報では、コールドプールを数値流体力学(CFD)解析コードで詳細に模擬し、1D-CFD連成解析手法を適用することで、コールドプールにおける温度成層化現象と炉心入口温度上昇を再現できることを確認した。

Hexagonal ferrite Ba(FeSc)O is an important magnetic oxide material in both science and engineering because it exhibits helimagnetism around room temperature (300 K). In this study, the magnetic phase diagram of Ba(FeSc)O consisting of ferri-, heli-, antiferro-, and paramagnetic phases has been completed through magnetization and neutron diffraction measurements. The magnetic phase transition temperature to paramagnetism decreases with the increase in x, and the temperature at which the magnetization reaches a maximum, which corresponds to the magnetic phase transition from heli- to ferrimagnetism, is determined for low x crystals. The temperatures at which helimagnetism appears are precisely determined by observing the magnetic satellite reflection peaks in neutron diffraction at various temperatures, which characterize helimagnetism. Based on these results, the magnetic phase diagram of the Ba(FeSc)O system is constructed in the T-x plane. Helimagnetism appears at x 0.06, and magnetism with antiferromagnetic components appears as the extension phase of helimagnetism at x 0.19 through the coexistence region. The turn angle of the helix for each x crystal is calculated from the relationship, , where is the incommensurability. The turn angle decreases with the increase in temperature for the same x crystal, and increases with the increase in x at the same temperature. Furthermore, it is found that there are clear thresholds at which cannot take values between 0 < < 90 and 170 < < 180.

Hybridization of Bogoliubov quasiparticles (BQPs) between the CuO layers in the triple-layer cuprate high-temperature superconductor BiSrCaCuO is studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). In the superconducting state, an anti-crossing gap opens between the outer- and inner-BQP bands, which we attribute primarily to interlayer single-particle hopping with possible contributions from interlayer Cooper pairing. We find that the -wave superconducting gap of both BQP bands smoothly develops with momentum without abrupt jump in contrast to a previous ARPES study. Hybridization between the BQPs also gradually increases in going from the off-nodal to the anti-nodal region, which is explained by the momentum-dependence of the interlayer single-particle hopping. As possible mechanisms for the enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature, the hybridization between the BQPs, as well as the combination of phonon modes of the triple CuO layers and spin fluctuations are discussed.

As a method to determine the resonance frequency, Rabi-oscillation spectroscopy has been developed. In contrast to conventional spectroscopy which draws the resonance curve, Rabi-oscillation spectroscopy fits the time evolution of the Rabi oscillation. By selecting the optimized frequency, it is shown that the precision is twice as good as conventional spectroscopy with a frequency sweep. Furthermore, the data under different conditions can be treated in a unified manner, allowing more efficient measurements for systems consisting of a limited number of short-lived particles produced by accelerators such as muons. We have developed a fitting function that takes into account the spatial distribution of muonium and the spatial distribution of the microwave intensity to apply this method to ground-state muonium hyperfine structure measurements at zero field. It was applied to the actual measurement data, and the resonance frequencies were determined under various conditions. The result of our analysis gives = 4 463 301.61 0.71 kHz.

We demonstrated that a four-readout superconducting neutron imaging system shows good spatial heterogeneity and linearity using the delay-line method. We examined the precise pattern of a B-dot-array absorber and found the X-direction pitch (Px) = 250.7 um with a scatter of (Hx)= 5.4 um and the Y-direction pitch (Py)= 249.1 um with a scatter of (Hy)= 3.4 um while the B dot array was fully extended toward the X direction across the detector sensitive area. We consider that this demonstrates detection with good spatial homogeneity and conclude. The transmission-imaging system is suitable for use at pulsed neutron facilities. We also reported a clear transmission image of tiny screws and nuts, and ladybug (insect). We recognize that further efforts to improve the detection efficiency are necessary to make using the detector more practical.

大阪大学のリングサイクロトロンにてO(He,)F反応実験を行い、その荷電交換反応の断面積から、のガモフテラー遷移分布の励起エネルギー分布を測定した。その結果、Fの基底状態へのが3.1と非常に大きく、その他の励起状態への遷移強度は小さいことがわかった。この実験結果を大規模殻模型計算や乱雑位相近似計算と比較し、基底状態への強い遷移が理論計算によってよく説明されることがわかった。

福島第一原子力発電所の事故で発生した放射性廃棄物の処理処分方策の検討には、廃棄物に含まれる放射性核種の種類と濃度を把握する必要がある。そのためには、測定が容易な線放出核種のみならず、線や線放出核種に対する放射化学分析を行い、放射能データを蓄積する必要がある。そこで、本研究では1から4号機原子炉建屋の内部及び周辺から採取した瓦礫の詳細な放射化学分析を行った。原子炉建屋内部及び周辺の瓦礫について、Co及びSrの放射能濃度は、Csの放射能濃度と比例関係の傾向にあることがわかった。また、原子炉建屋内部から採取した瓦礫からは、環境濃度レベルのPuが検出された。このPuはPu及びPuの濃度比から炉内の燃料に由来するものと推定した。

At the Muon Science Facility (MUSE) of J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex), the MuSEUM collaboration is planning new measurements of the ground state hyperfine structure (HFS) of muonium both at zero field and at high magnetic field. The previous measurements were performed both at LAMPF (Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility) with experimental uncertainties mostly dominated by statistical errors. The new high intensity muon beam that will soon be available at MUSE H-Line will provide an opportunity to improve the precision of these measurements by one order of magnitude. An overview of the different aspects of these new muonium HFS measurements, the current status of the preparation, and the results of a first commissioning test experiment at zero field are presented.
