By rotating the rod of the permanent magnet that generates the magnetic field, the magnetic field can be changed to bipolarity. To verify the principle of this bi-polarity change, a prototype was built, and its performance was evaluated. The performance evaluation of the prototype machine revealed that the inhomogeneity of the remanent magnetization of the permanent magnet has a significant effect on the multipole component. To suppress this effect, a compensating magnet with additional anisotropic intermediate poles is being considered.

Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.00(Engineering, Electrical & Electronic)A permanent magnet can be used to generate an axisymmetric uniform magnetic field over a long distance. To satisfy Ampere's law, which states that the line-integral value of the magnetic field is zero, a magnetic field region of opposite polarity appears somewhere along the axis while maintaining uniformity in a certain range along the axis. Using this configuration, a magnetic field generator for a Faraday rotation device for laser light was fabricated. This device has a large bore of 30 mm in diameter to handle ultra-high-power lasers and can hold a large crystal disc for Faraday rotation. The irregularity in the central plane is less than 1% within the bore diameter. This configuration can also be applied to long axisymmetric beam transport magnets. This technique can be extended to control the gradient of the magnetic field distributions, such as the focusing field of a klystron.

Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.00(Engineering, Electrical & Electronic)In order to design a pulsed electromagnet, it is necessary to consider eddy currents that depend on the pattern shape of the pulse excitation, and to design the structure and set the operating parameters considering the fluctuation of the magnetic field distribution and its effect on heat generation. Evaluation tests of a new bump magnet for the J-PARC RCS showed that the magnetic field distributions at the rising edge of the trapezoidal pattern and at the flat top are different from each other. This was also confirmed by the 3D dynamic magnetic field analysis of OPERA-3d. Since the skin-depth due to eddy currents depends on the time variation of the waveform, the effect is the same as changing the shape of the coil. The measurement of the magnetic field distribution fluctuation was verified and evaluated using a flux meter, search coil, and Hall probe with different measurement principles.

Although a hybrid coil design comprising Nb-Ti, NbSn, and HTS (High-Temperature Superconductors) are potential candidates for such application, the costs of NbSn and HTS are expensive compared with Nb-Ti. By generating an additional field of about 1 T by permanent magnets, the required amounts of superconducting material may be reduced. Magnetic properties of some magnetic materials have been studied by other works at temperatures as low as 100 K. The remanent field of conventional NdFeB magnets decreases at 100 K due to spin reorientation. PrFeB magnets consisting of praseodymium (Pr) instead of neodymium (Nd) do not show such degradation and the coercivity of PrFeB at 100 K is 7 T. In this study, the B-H curve, as a primary magnetic property, of a PrFeB magnet sample was measured in the temperature range down to 4 K. As a result, no decrease in magnetization of the praseodymium magnets, and the coercivity was 10 T.

We employed the delay-line method, and high spatial resolution imaging with only four reading channels was achieved. We also performed wavelength-resolved neutron imaging by the time-of-flight method. We obtained the neutron transmission images of a Gd-Al alloy sample, inside which single crystals of GdAl were grown, using the delay-line CB-KID. Single crystals were well imaged, in both shapes and distributions, throughout the Al-Gd alloy. We identified Gd nuclei via neutron transmissions that exhibited characteristic suppression above the neutron wavelength of 0.03 nm. In addition, the 
Gd resonance dip, a dip structure of the transmission caused by the nuclear reaction between an isotope and neutrons, was observed even when the number of events was summed over a limited area of 15 
m 
12 m. Gd selective imaging was performed using the resonance dip of Gd, and it showed clear Gd distribution even with a limited neutron wavelength range of 1 pm.

To study the performance of the TES detector with a high-intensity pulsed charged-particle beam, we measured X-ray spectra with a pulsed muon beam at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) in Japan. We found substantial temporal shifts of the X-ray energy correlated with the arrival time of the pulsed muon beam, which was reasonably explained by pulse pileup due to the incidence of energetic particles from the initial pulsed beam.

for GdBCO coated conductors with crossed columnar defects produced by heavy-ion irradiation, where the crossing angle was systematically controlled in the range from 5 to 15 relative to the ab-plane. A single peak of critical current density centered at B occurs for the crossing angle of 5, where an upward shift in can be observed compared to an unirradiated sample. As the crossing angle is larger, the peak becomes smaller and broader while maintaining the peak at B . Three peaks emerges at B and at the two irradiation angles, independently from the others.

Terminal joint of Central Solenoid (CS) is wrap type NbSn-NbTi joint used for connecting CS (NbSn) and current feeder (NbTi). The terminal joints are placed at the top and the bottom of the CS systems. CS modules located at middle position of CS system need the lead extension from the modules to the terminal joint. The joint resistance measurement of terminal joint was performed in the test facility of National Institute for Fusion Science. The joint resistance was evaluated by the operating current and the voltage between both ends of the terminal joint part. Test results met the requirement of JT-60SA magnet system. The structural analysis of the lead extension and its support structure was conducted to confirm the support design. In this paper, the results of resistance test of joint and the structural analysis results of lead extension are reported.
