Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：5.84(Geochemistry & Geophysics)We performed C measurements of two fossil and one modern corals using a combined system of an elemental analyzer and an automated graphitization equipment AGE3 (EA-AGE3 system) and JAEA-AMS-TONO. The C concentrations (pMC values) of mid-Holocene Okinawa corals obtained by our EA-AGE3 system appear to be slightly higher than those obtained by the conventional graphitization method using phosphoric acid. The pMC increase in our EA-AGE3 system may result in significant underestimation of C age especially for older samples (e.g., 10,000 BP); however, the pMC increase is negligible in C measurements of modern or recent samples. We applied the EA-AGE3 method to the pre- and post-bomb annual-band samples from the modern Ogasawara coral for C measurements. On the basis of the pre-bomb coral C data, we estimated marine reservoir correction (
R) around Ogasawara Islands and its stability between 
1900 and 1950 AD.

Times Cited Count：17 Percentile：76.97(Instruments & Instrumentation)The Intranuclear cascade with emission of light fragment (INC-ELF) code has been developed and implemented in the particle and heavy ion transport code system (PHITS). The INC-ELF code explicitly includes nucleon correlations within the framework of the INC model to describe light fragment emissions from nuclear spallation reactions. In addition to the degrees of freedom of nucleons, the developed code also accounts for pions, 
and 
, and it can cover the energy range up to 3 GeV. The predictive capabilities of the ELF/PHITS system have been verified through comparison with a diverse set of experimental observations. As a result, our ELF/PHITS code has demonstrated strong predictive capability for all of these data, although areas requiring future study remain due to the lack of experimental data on high-energy cluster production.

We are developing the inspection technology for laser micro spot welding. Butt welding for the inner wall of heat exchanger tubes were successfully carried out by a composite-type optical fiber scope. The related technologies are the following: (1) Rapid inspection by eddy current testing (2) Fiber endoscope observation (3) Synchrotron X-ray absorption contrast method. These technologies are versatile to be applied in maintenance for industrial production plants.
