Photoneutron cross sections were measured for Se near the neutron threshold energy with quasi-monochromatic rays. Using the Se(,
) cross section as experimental constraints on the E1 strength function, we estimate the neutron capture rates for 
Se. The solar abundance ratio of s-only nuclides Kr and 
Kr are analyzed in terms of the s-process branching at Se within the local approximation. The corresponding temperature and neutron density regimes are discussed in the light of the s-process scenario in massive stars.

Neutrino-nucleus reactions on 
C and 
He are studied based on new shell model Hamiltonians. The cross sections are found to be enhanced compared with those obtained by conventional Hamiltonians. The production yield of 
Li and 
B during supernova explosions are pointed out to be enhanced, and a possibility of determining the neutrino mixing angle 
is discussed in case of neutrino oscillations. Neutrino induced reactions on Fe and Ni isotopes are also studied based on recent advances in shell model calculations in the 
-shell. The reaction crowds sections are found to be enhanced compared with those obtained by a modified KB3 Hamiltonian.

The aim of this work is to study how shell effects of fissioning nuclei and fission fragments are responsible for deformation and mass division during descent from the saddle point to scission. We studied in detail excitation energy dependence of mass and total kinetic energy distributions in the fission of 
+ 
U at incident beam energies of 10.0, 11.5 and 13.0 MeV. For the asymmetric mass division in the fission for both uranium isotopes, the obtained yield at 
132 with the spherical shell of 
= 82 increases more largely with increasing excitation energy than that at 143 with deformed shell of = 86-88. The present excitation energy dependence shows the opposite trend observed in the thermal neutron induced fission and cold fission of actinides. We will discuss the shell effects on excitation energy dependence of fragment mass and total kinetic energy distributions in fission.

We have developed an original nuclear mass model based on the macroscopic and mean-field models to describe the global features, called the KTUY (Koura-Tachibana-Uno-Yamada) model. By using the KTUY model, we have studied decay modes for 
-decay, 
-decay, proton emission and spontaneous fission ranging from light nuclei to superheavy nuclei including unknown ones. In this calculation we find that various decay modes coexist and a kind of a periodic structure of the closed shell with =126, 184 and 228 near the proton-drip line in the superheavy region. We also calculate total half-lives for nuclei in the "island of stability for the superheavy nuclei" and find a nucleus with the longest half-life on the -stability line in the order of 100 years. Furthermore, we also investigate much heavier nuclei beyond the superheavy ones and estimate the next "island of stability" and the limit of existence of nuclei which is given not by proton emission, but by fission.

An electric quadrupole moment (
moment) is sensitive to collective aspects of nuclear structure. In the -moment measurement for unstable nuclei, we employ the -detected nuclear-quadrupole resonance method. In this method, we need to supply 
resonance frequencies, where 
denotes the nuclear spin. We have developed a new RF-application system to induced all of the transitions. The application of the frequencies may be pursued in two different ways; the sequential RF pulse method and the mixed-wave RF pulse method. We confirmed the reversal of polarization for the both methods, from measurements of -ray asymmetry change for polarized B. Using this system, the moments of 
Al have been measured to be 
mb and 
mb by the sequential RF pulse method.

We report measurements of the hyperfine structure constants of La (N=74) as an initial step to further exploring the neutron deficient rare-earth region where a sudden onset of nuclear deformation is predicted theoretically around N=74. This work is an extension of our earlier off-line experiments on 
La to on-line laser spectroscopy. The radioactive isotope La (T
=59 min) was produced by means of a spallation reaction using a proton beam from TRIUMF cyclotron. The hyperfine spectra were observed by using the method of collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy. From the obtained hyperfine constants, the nuclear moments of La were derived. In order to arrive at an understanding of the nuclear structure of La, we have carried out particle triaxial-rotor calculations. The results from the calculation reproduce well the experimental values when a triaxial shape is assumed for La.

A systematic study of astrophysical reaction rates on light neutron-rich nuclei using low-energy radioactive nuclear beams (RNB) is in progress at the tandem facility of Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). Direct measurements of reaction rates of Li(, n)B, B(, n)
N and, Li(d, p), (d, t), (d, ), (p, ) have been carried out. Measured excitation functions and obtained reaction rates will be presented. Possible r-process path via Li at each temperature during r-process and the influence of r-process abundance will be discussed.

Neutron-rich W-Os nuclei with 
exhibit the various signature of nuclear collective motions such as -softness, triaxiality, and a prolate-oblate shape transition. In addition, the emergence of high-
isomers, where is the angular momentum projection on the nuclear symmetry axis, based on multi-quasiparticle excitation is a characteristic of nuclei in this region. The recent experimental and theoretical studies of the neutron-rich W nuclei have revealed the existence of high- multi-quasiparticle isomers. Here we report results from the in-beam -ray spectroscopic experiments on neutron-rich 
W and 
W.

Neutron capture cross sections of the unstable nuclei 
Cl (t=3.0
10
yr) and 
Sm (t=90 yr) are the fundamental data for the nuclear transmutation. The cross sections of the inverse 
Cl(,n)Cl and 
Sm(,n)Sm reaction were measured with the laser-Compton scattering (LCS) rays at 10.4-12.0 MeV and 8.3-12.4 MeV, respectively. Quasi-monochromatic beams of LCS photons irradiated a natural NaCl sample and an enriched 
Sm
O
sample. The emitted neutrons were detected with a 4
neutron detector. The energy distribution of LCS beam was measured with a 120 
Ge detector or the high-resolution high-energy photon spectrometer (HHS). The present data for Cl, Sm, and 
Au are compared with the previous data compiled in the IAEA document and the calculation with a nuclear reaction code TALYS.

The rays produced by neutron capture reactions for Au and Ag samples were measured using the 4 Ge spectrometer in the resonance region in a time-of-flight (TOF) mode. Two dimensional matrices for TOF and summed Ge pulse heights were produced to analyze the data. From the analyses of the matrices, the origin of each resonance peak is identified. For example, the resonance of Ag-107 and Ag-109 were clearly separated in the measurement of Ag-nat sample by gating at the neutron separation energy for each isotope. Furthermore, the -ray spectrum for each resonance is deduced from the matrices. The potential of the 4
Ge detector as the high-energy-resolution total energy absorption detector is demonstrated using the TOF data obtained for Au and Ag.

MA and LLFP neutron capture cross sections are important for nuclear transmutation. Measurements of prompt are useful method for improvement of accuracy of the data. For the method, ground-state transition have to be known. We developed an innovative method for identification of nuclear levels using measured multiple prompt -ray. For demonstration of the method, we calculated a existing-probability of N nuclear levels with measurement of 
N(n,)N reaction with 4 Ge spectrometer at JRR-3. With this demonstration, we verified that the method is useful.
