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 ($$d,n$$) reactions on $$^{rm nat}$$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$$^{circ}$$ and total neutron yield per incident deuteron in the wide range of deuteron energy.

Single-phase nanocrystalline thin films of Er$$_2$$O$$_3$$ (440) has been first prepared using Si (100) substrates by ion beam sputter deposition at 973 K at a pressure of $$<$$ 10$$^{-5}$$ Pa and $${it in}$$-$${it situ}$$ annealing at 1023 K at a pressure of $$approx$$ 10$$^{-7}$$ Pa. Er silicides formed during the deposition are eliminated via the annealing, which results in the single phase and the smooth surface of the Er$$_2$$O$$_3$$ thin films. The epitaxial relationship between Si (100) and Er$$_2$$O$$_3$$ (110) is clarified by X-ray diffraction and reflection high energy electron diffraction.

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.

We report on the event structure and double helicity asymmetry ($$A_{LL}$$) of jet production in longitudinally polarized $$p + p$$ collisions at $$sqrt{s}$$ = 200 GeV. Photons and charged particles were measured by the PHENIX experiment. Event structure was compared with the results from PYTHIA event generator. The production rate of reconstructed jets is satisfactorily reproduced with the next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD calculation. We measured $$A_{LL}$$ = -0.0014 $$pm$$ 0.0037 at the lowest $$P_T$$ bin and -0.0181 $$pm$$ 0.0282 at the highest $$P_T$$ bin. The measured $$A_{LL}$$ is compared with the predictions that assume various $$Delta G(x)$$ distributions.

Transverse momentum distributions and yields for $$pi^{pm}, K^{pm}, p$$, and $$bar{p}$$ in $$p + p$$ collisions at $$sqrt{s}$$ = 200 and 62.4 GeV at midrapidity are measured by the PHENIX experiment at the RHIC. We present the inverse slope parameter, mean transverse momentum, and yield per unit rapidity at each energy, and compare them to other measurements at different $$sqrt{s}$$ collisions. We also present the scaling properties such as $$m_T$$ and $$x_T$$ scaling and discuss the mechanism of the particle production in $$p + p$$ collisions. The measured spectra are compared to next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations.

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 $$p+p$$ 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 $$p+p$$ collisions.

The PHENIX experiment at RHIC has measured the invariant differential cross section for production of $$K^0_s$$, $$omega$$, $$eta'$$ and $$phi$$ mesons in $$p + p$$ collisions at $$sqrt{s}$$ = 200 GeV. The spectral shapes of all hadron transverse momentum distributions are well described by a Tsallis distribution functional form with only two parameters, $$n$$ and $$T$$, determining the high $$p_T$$ and characterizing the low $$p_T$$ regions for the spectra, respectively. The integrated invariant cross sections calculated from the fitted distributions are found to be consistent with existing measurements and with statistical model predictions.

Proceedings of 21st International Workshop on Rare-Earth Permanent Magnets and their Applications (REPM 2010), p.161 - 164, 2010/08

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.

Sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets consist of Nd$$_{2}$$Fe$$_{14}$$B main phase with about 5$$mu$$m diameter and Nd-rich grain boundary phase. It is well known that the coercivity of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets is highly dominated by this Nd-rich phase, which is reported to change from discontinuous to continuous arrangement by a low temperature annealing around 500$$sim$$600$$^{circ}$$C. We have shown that the coercivity of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets can be further increased by applying a high magnetic field during the annealing. We found that such a coercivity enhancement phenomenon occurred only when a small amount of Cu is added, and when the annealing temperature is around 500$$^{circ}$$C or 550$$^{circ}$$C. In this paper, we report on the results of interface nanostructure analysis by DSC and Small Angle Neutron Scattering experiments to investigate the reason magnetic field effect occurs only in Cu-containing samples at specific annealing temperatures.

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 $$H_{c}$$ is required because of the high operating temperature beyond 450 K. As a symptomatic treatment, Nd has been replaced partly by Dy to enhance $$H_{c}$$. 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 $$H_{c}$$ 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 $$H_{c}$$ 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 $$q > 0.3 nm^{-1}$$ 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 $$H_{c}$$ enhancement by the high field annealing.

Polarized small-angle neutron scattering measurements of averaged internal structure in Nd-Fe-$$^{11}$$B sintered magnets

Nd-Fe-B magnets are now widely used because of the highest BH$$_{rm max}$$ of them in the commercially available magnets. At the present, Dy, which is one of the rare metals, has to be added to maintain the coercivity especially in the operational temperatures higher than the room temperature. The key to achieve the Dy-free Nd-Fe-B magnets is how to control the grain size and the structure near the grain boundary. We have performed the small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements of the sintered Nd-Fe-$$^{11}$$B magnets using unpolarized and polarized neutrons to obtain the averaged internal structures of samples with the different coercivity introduced by applying different high magnetic fields during the annealing. We found that inhomogeneity was induced by the magnetic fields applied parallel to $$vec{M}$$. The relation between the inhomogeneity and the coercivity force is unclear at the moment, but we will present possible interpretation.

We have been investing the correlation between the coercive force and the averaged internal structure of Neodymium-Iron-Boron (Nd-Fe-B) sintered magnets using the small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) spectrometer, SANS-J-II installed at the beam hall of the research reactor JRR-3 in Tokai. The correlation is a clue to achieve the less or Dysprosium (Dy)-free Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets with high coercivity for high-temperature application. In this talk, we report that the coercivity is very sensitive to the averaged diameter of powder and the temperature in sintering process, and that the SANS patterns on 2-dimensional position-sensitive detector (2D-PSD) are also sensitively changed following the sintering condition.
