Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:7.24(Nuclear Science & Technology)While designing deuteron accelerator neutron sources for radioisotopes production, nuclear data for light elements such as Li, Be, and C have been systematically measured in the deuteron energy range from a few MeV to around 50 MeV. Currently, the experimental data available on double-differential thick-target neutron yields (DDTTNYs) is insufficient, especially for deuteron energies between 18 and 33 MeV. In this study, we measured the DDTTNYs of (
) reactions on
C target for incident deuteron energies of 12, 20, and 30 MeV using the multiple-foils activation method to improve nuclear data insufficiency. We applied the GRAVEL code for the unfolding process to derive the DDTTNYs. The results were compared with the calculation by DEURACS. The present data were also used to confirm the systematics of the differential neutron yields at 0
and total neutron yield per incident deuteron in the wide range of deuteron energy.

The number of research reactors in the world is decreasing because of their aging. However, the planning to introduce the nuclear power plants is increasing in Asian countries. In these Asian countries, the key issue is the human resource development for operation and management of nuclear power plants after constructed them, and also the necessity of research reactor, which is used for lifetime extension of LWRs, progress of the science and technology, expansion of industry use, human resources training and so on, is increasing. From above backgrounds, the Neutron Irradiation and Testing Reactor Center began to discuss basic concept of a multipurpose low-power research reactor for education and training, etc. This design study is expected to contribute not only to design tool improvement and human resources development in the Neutron Irradiation and Testing Reactor Center but also to maintain and upgrade the technology on research reactors in nuclear power-related companies. This report treats the activities of the working group from July 2010 to June 2011 on the multipurpose low-power research reactor in the Neutron Irradiation and Testing Reactor Center and nuclear power-related companies.

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:50.48(Physics, Nuclear)Measurements of electrons from the decay of open-heavy-flavor mesons have shown that the yields are suppressed in Au+Au collisions compared to expectations from binary-scaled
collisions. Here we extend these studies to two particle correlations where one particle is an electron from the decay of a heavy flavor meson and the other is a charged hadron from either the decay of the heavy meson or from jet fragmentation. These measurements provide more detailed information about the interaction between heavy quarks and the quark-gluon matter. We find the away-side-jet shape and yield to be modified in Au+Au collisions compared to
collisions.

We performed small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets to get information on the averaged internal microstructure of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets including the interfacial structure which is a key parameter to achieve a high-coercivity Dy-free Nd-Fe-B sintered magnet. SANS patterns from the Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets measured with a two-dimensional detector of a small-angle neutron scattering spectrometer SANS-J-II in the research reactor JRR-3 were sensitive to the sintering and annealing condition of the samples. These results indicate that the SANS measurement is a promising tool to investigate the correlation between the coercivity and the internal microstructure of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets.

A sodium cooled fast breeder reactor (FBR) has unique systems and components and different degradation mechanism from light water reactor (LWR) so that need to establish maintenance technology in accordance with its features. The examination of the FBR maintenance technology is carried out in the special committee for considering the maintenance for Monju established in the Japan Society of Maintenology (JSM). As a result of the study such as extraction of Monju maintenance feature, maintenance technology benchmark between Monju and LWR components and survey of LWR maintenance experience, it is clear that principles of maintenance are same as LWR, necessity of LWR maintenance experience reflection and points to be considered in Monju maintenance. The road map to establish a FBR maintenance technology in the technical aspect became clear and it is vital to acquire operation and maintenance experience of the plant to implement this road map, and to establish a fast reactor maintenance.

Progress on technical development on ITER and JT-60SA neutral beam injector (NBI) were reported. In development of a 1 MV insulating transformer for ITER NB power supply, a bushing extracting 1 MV required a huge insulator that was impossible to manufacture. To solve this issue, a composite bushing with FRP tube and a small condenser bushing with insulation gas was newly developed. In development the HV bushing as an insulating feed through, voltage holding in large cylindrical electrodes inside the HV bushing was investigated. The scaling for vacuum insulation design of large cylindrical electrodes was obtained. Toward long pulse production and acceleration of negative ion beam, active control system of plasma grid temperature and a new extractor consisting of the extraction grid with high water cooling capability and aperture offset were developed. As a result, 15 negative ion beam has been achieved for 100 s. Also beam energy density has been increased two orders of magnitude.

The ion beam sputter deposition method is capable of fabricating highly-oriented Er
O
thin film on crystalline Si substrate at 700
C, by bombarding Er
O
target with O
ion beam. However, there always exists silicide phase (ErSi) due to direct reaction between sputtered Er atoms and the Si substrate. In order to find ways to prevent, or slow down the reaction of Si with Er, the dependence of the sputter-etching conditions of the substrate, which are conducted prior to deposition to remove surface impurities, on the film crystalline properties was investigated. In the experiment, two sputter-etching conditions, (a) fluence 3.7

Ion beam sputter deposition method has been successfully employed to obtain highly-oriented Er
O
thin film on Si substrate. In this study, thermal annealing of the "as deposited" film was performed under the same atmosphere as in the sputter deposition process. The XRD analysis revealed that the obtained film was found to grow in other orientations, which are not in the epitaxial relationship with Si(100) substrate. These findings were compared with previously obtained results to discuss the possible film growth mechanism.

Sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets are the most promising materials for a driving motor of the hybrid electric vehicles(HV). In this application, a large value of coecivity
is required because of the high operating temperature beyond 450 K. As a symptomatic treatment, Nd has been replaced partly by Dy to enhance
. But the problem is an estimated short supply of Dy in the HV mass-production stage due to its low natural abundance. We have recently shown that
of Nd-Fe-B magnets can be enhanced by applying a high magnetic field during the annealing. In order to elucidate the reason for the
increase, we performed a small angle neutron scattering (SANS) study using SANS-J and PNO at JRR-3 of JAEA. We observed a marked deviation from the simple relation above for
in the sample with Al and Cu additives. SANS results suggest that an existence of the Cu-containing liquid phases is strongly correlated with the
enhancement by the high field annealing.
