Inelastic neutron scattering measurement using multiple incident energies can drastically enhances the measurement efficiency. The article reviews the principle of this new technique and an example of the measurement using the chopper spectrometer 4SEASONS of the pulsed neutron experimental facility in Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC).

We are developing a new chopper-type neutron inelastic spectrometer 4SEASONS for the spallation neutron source at J-PARC. This spectrometer has middle energy resolution and two orders higher efficiency than the ones at ISIS for a single crystal measurement. With this spectrometer, we try to explore novel quantum phenomena, in particular, the mechanism of the high- superconductivity. The high flux at a sample is achieved by incorporating the well designed transport devices in addition to the high flux of the source. The energy resolution is estimated to be 5-6% at = 0. Furthermore, the most distinguishing feature of 4SEASONS is the availability of the repetition rate multiplication (RRM) method. The RRM method enables us to utilize many 's at the same time, which will increase the efficiency of the measurement more than five times and make the survey of 4D space of - much easier.

The mechanism of high ionic conductivity in superionic glass constitute an unsolved problem in the field of science.Here we performed inelastic neutron scattering measurements of superionic glass system (AgI)(AgS)(AgPO) by using MARI spectrometer at ISIS, and found that the -dependence of inelastic intensity in the energy region from 1 to 3 meV of superionic phase glass shows an excess intensity above =1.8 compared with insulator phase one. Similar phenomena were also observed in another superionic glass (AgI)(AgPO) by using NEAT spectrometer at HMI with high resolution measurement. These results clearly suggest peculiar low energy vibrational excitations should be universal features of superionic glass.

The efficiency of inelastic neutron scattering measurements by a chopper spectrometer can be markedly improved by utilizing multiple incident energies (Multi-Ei method). However, in conventional chopper systems, optimization of the experimental condition for all incident energies is absolutely impossible. In order to overcome this problem, we developed a new Fermi chopper with a supermirror-coated slitpackage (MAGIC chopper). In this presentation, we will introduce the principle of MAGIC chopper and discuss the performance test of a rotating supermirror-coated slitpackage.

In the Ningyo-toge uranium mine, Okayama, Japan, various toxic elements such as U, As, and Ra are present in the mine wastewaters, of which the concentration except for Ra in the wastewater decrease below the regulatory limit by transport to the slag dumping pond. The mechanisms of decreasing their concentrations in the wastewaters are not fully understood. In order to understand the fundamental processes of natural attenuation at this site, we have investigated the wastewaters and solids from upstream to the pond at the downstream. Wastewater was contacted with oxygenated water and the amount of dissolved oxygen increased. Simultaneously dissolved ferrous iron was oxidized to form ferrihydrite nanoparticles, which are associated with silica colloids, As and U. The ferrihydrite nanoparticles as suspended colloids were transported to the pond in downstream, where the waste stream is completely oxidized. In the slag dumping pond, Mn dioxide, birnessite, dominantly occurs forming a mixture with ferrihydrite + silica colloid, which has a potential to adsorb Ra. Consequently, Fe hydroxides nanoparticles and Mn dioxides in Ningyo-toge play a key role on removing U, As and Ra from the wastewater.
