Crystallization of LIPPS was used different two types laser these are Ti:Sapphire laser (wavelength: 800 nm) and MIR-FEL (mid-infrared free electron laser, wavelength 11.4 
m). These lasers are different in the laser pulse structure and the wavelength. We investigated on the effects of formed LIPSS crystallization using different kind of laser. Measured synchrotron X-ray energy is 30 keV and beam size is 20 m. Detector of diffracted X-ray is two-dimensional detector (PILATUS300K, DECTRIS). LIPSS formed using Ti:Sapphire laser has deformed structure with good crystallinity. LIPSS formed using MIR-FEL has dislocation or fault without structural stress. These results show depending on select of laser forming LIPPS structure. These information becomes important a point of the functional application of LIPSS.

Times Cited Count：6 Percentile：32.40(Physics, Applied)To clarify the existence of cation vacancies in Ce-doped GdAlGaO (Ce:GAGG) scintillators, we performed gamma-ray-induced positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (GiPALS). GiPAL spectra of GAGG and Ce:GAGG comprised two exponential decay components, which were assigned to positron annihilation at bulk and defect states. By an analogy with Ce:YAl
O, the defect-related component was attributed to Al/Ga-O divacancy complexes. This component was weaker for Ce, Mg:GAGG, which correlated with the suppression of shallow electron traps responsible for phosphorescence. Oxygen vacancies were charge compensators for Al/Ga vacancies. The lifetime of the defect-related component was significantly changed by Mg co-doping. This was understood by considering aggregates of Mg
ions at Al/Ga sites with oxygen vacancies, which resulted in the formation of vacancy clusters.

The statistical-sensitive non-linear peak clipping (SNIP) algorithm was implemented to eliminate theback ground and enhance the limits of detection for the spectra measured with LaBr (Ce). Both detection and determination limits were deduced from the experimental data.

A LaBr (Ce) detector array consisting of eight cylindrical detectors, each with a length of 7.62 cm and a diameter of 3.81 cm, was implemented in this measurement. Moreover, a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector array consisting of four detectors, each of which has a relative efficiency of 60%, was used as the benchmark for the measurement taken using the LaBr (Ce) detector array. The integrated cross section of the NRF level, measured with LaBr (Ce) detectors, showed good agreement with the available data.

Future synchrotron light source using a 5-GeV energy recovery linac (ERL) is under proposal by our Japanese collaboration team, and we are conducting R&D efforts for that. We are developing high-brightness DC photocathode guns, two types of cryomodules for both injector and main superconducting (SC) linacs, and 1.3 GHz high CW-power RF sources. We are also constructing the Compact ERL (cERL) for demonstrating the recirculation of low-emittance, high-current beams using above-mentioned critical technologies.

At UVSOR, a synchrotron radiation facility at the Institute for Molecular Science, gamma rays are generated by inverse Thomson scattering. Compared to gamma rays generated from radioisotopes and bremsstrahlung gamma rays, it has excellent features such as variable energy, quasi-monochromatic, low background, and high directivity. It is also possible to generate polarized gamma rays by using a polarized laser. Using this gamma ray, nuclear physics experiments such as isotope imaging by nuclear resonance fluorescence scattering, evaluation of gamma ray detectors, and research on material analysis by gamma ray-induced positron annihilation spectroscopy are being carried out. Positron annihilation spectroscopy is a powerful method that can analyze defects of sub-nm to several nm such as monatomic vacancies. Positrons can also be generated from gamma rays by pair production. By irradiating the sample with gamma rays, positrons are generated inside the sample, and it is possible to analyze defects in a bulk sample with a thickness of several cm. At this year's meeting, we will present the development of gamma ray sources in UVSOR, the magnetic Compton scattering experiment of circularly polarized gamma rays, the development of gamma ray-induced positron annihilation spectroscopy, and the development of measurement technology for spin-polarized positrons using circularly polarized gamma rays.

We are conducting research on the F-LCS beam, which can obtain a flat energy spectrum and spatial distribution suitable for multi-isotope imaging at the BL1U beamline of UVSOR. We have succeeded in producing an F-LCS beam with an energy spread extending to the low energy part, while suppressing the high energy part of the quasi-monochromatic energy spectrum with the highest energy edge, which is characteristic of normal LCS beams. We have also confirmed that the scattering angle dependence of the energy of F-LCS beam is as expected. We will report the result of measurements of the isotope ratio of natural lead using the F-LCS beam, comparing it with a normal LCS beam.

Positron annihilation spectroscopy is the only way to investigate the properties of cation vacancies because they are negatively charged. We generated high-energy pulsed gamma rays by the vertical collision of an ultrashort pulse laser and electron beam. In this study, we investigated the vacancy-type defects present in the crystals of GAGG(GdAlGaO), GAGG: Ce and GAGG: Ce, Mg by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy using the high-energy gamma rays. The lifetime of the defect-related component was significantly changed by Mg co-doping. This was understood by considering aggregates of Mg ions at Al/Ga sites with oxygen vacancies, which resulted in the formation of vacancy clusters.

This fact corresponds well with the suppression of the phosphorescence component and is an important result showing that the Mg co-doping is effective in suppressing the shallow electron capture center.

Recently, a nondestructive measurement method of shielded fissional isotopes such as U or 
Pu has been proposed for the nuclear security. These isotopes are measured by using nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) with monochromatic energy -ray beams generated by laser Compton-scattering (LCS). We have proposed that one measure scattered -rays from NRF with LCS -ray beams using the LaBr(Ce) detectors. The LaBr(Ce) crystals include internal radioisotopes of a meta-stable isotope 
La and alpha decay chains from some actinides as 
Ac. There is a broad pump at about 2 MeV. This pump is considered to be an overlap of 
-rays from decay chains of some actinides but its detailed structure has not been established. Here we have measured NRF spectra of U using the LCS -rays with energy of about 2.5 MeV at the HIgS facility of the Duke University. The background has been evaluated using a simulation code GEAT4. The 9 peaks, 8 NRF -rays plus the Compton scattered -ray of the incident beam, are finally assigned in an energy range of about 200 keV at about 2.5 MeV. The 8 integrated NRF cross-sections measured by LaBr(Ce) have been consistent with results by an HPGe detector. The three levels are newly assigned using the HPGe detector. Two of them are also measured by LaBr(Ce).
