To compensate the reduction of X-ray yields, thickness and internal constitution of a sample must be taken accurately with spatial resolution of a few microns. Therefore, we use STIM to investigate them. Furthermore, we developed a computer software code to correct the X-ray yields. To confirm validity of our method, ion exchange resins, which are similar to biological cells in size, were used as a test sample. There were some wrong distributions of sodium in micro-PIXE analysis of ion exchange resins. But, they could be corrected to some extent by using our code.

A flat-top acceleration system using fifth-harmonic frequency for the JAERI AVF cyclotron was developed to minimize the energy spread of an ion beam mainly for microbeam formation with a spot size of 1 micron in diameter by focusing with a set of quadrupole magnets. A single-turn extraction is an indispensable condition to reduce the energy spread without significant beam loss by the flat-top acceleration. In order to save time for the single-turn extraction tuning over measuring time distribution of the beam bunch, a deflector probe has been developed to observe the turn separation and the radial beam width. In this paper, we report the single-turn extraction technique with the deflector probe. As a result of beam developments, the single-turn extraction can be achieved in one or two hours and radioactivity of the deflector electrode can be also reduced in the acceleration of a high energy proton beam.

A simple analyzing system has been developed to measure the energy spread of the beam extracted from the JAERI AVF cyclotron with an energy resolution of dE/E = 0.001%. The high analyzing power can be obtained with an existing deflecting magnet system in the transport line by installing three sets of slits with a minimum width of 0.01 mm and a beam intensity monitor with a Faraday cup and semiconductor detectors. These new instruments have been compactly designed to fulfill the geometrical condition of the existing beam diagnostic chambers, which are located at the object and image positions. Installation of the analyzing system was completed and a preliminary test has been carried out. This system will be used for optimization of the flat-top acceleration system to achieve the energy spread of dE/E = 0.02%, required for microbeam production.

A focused high-energy heavy ion scanning microbeam system with a spatial resolution of about 1
m is being developed at the AVF cyclotron of JAERI-Takasaki. It will provide microbeams to applications such as radiation tolerance testing of semiconductor devices and radio microsurgery in biomedical science with single ion hit technique. The main system components (slits, a beam scanner, quadrupole magnets and so on) had been installed in 2002. Test operations have been carried out since last year. We report the results obtained so far.

The JAERI AVF cyclotron provides a variety of ion beams especially for the research in biotechnology and materials science. Several cyclotron technologies such as cocktail beam acceleration, a uniform irradiation in a wide area and beam pulsation have been developed so far. A flat-top acceleration system for the JAERI AVF cyclotron has been designed to minimize the energy spread mainly for a microbeam production. The flat-top acceleration using fundamental and fifth-harmonic frequencies for an acceleration voltage is an excellent technique to reduce the energy spread.

microbeam is being developed at the JAERI AVF cyclotron facility for biofunction elucidation. Production of a microbeam with a spot size of one micro-meter in diameter requires reducing the energy spread of the beam to 0.02 % to minimize an effect of chromatic aberrations in focusing lenses. The typical energy spread of the cyclotron beam is around 0.1 % in an ordinary acceleration mode using a sinusoidal voltage waveform. The energy spread can be reduced by superimposing the fifth-harmonic voltage waveform on the fundamental one to generate a flattop waveform for uniform energy gain. We have designed an additional coaxial cavity to generate the fifth-harmonic voltage, coupled to the main resonator of one-fourth wavelength coaxial type. In a power test we successfully observed the fifth-harmonic voltage waveform by picking up an acceleration voltage signal.

Times Cited Count：115 Percentile：87.55(Biochemistry & Molecular Biology)The possible mechanism of a radiation-induced bystander response was investigated by using a high-LET heavy particle microbeam, which allows selected cells to be individually hit with precise numbered particles. Even when only a single cell within the confluent culture was hit by one particle of Ar40 or Ne20, a 1.4-fold increase of micronuclei (MN) was detected demonstrating a bystander response. When 49 cells in the culture were individually hit by 1 to 4 particles, the production of MN in the irradiated cultures were about 2-fold higher than control levels but independent of the number and LET of the particles. MN induction in the irradiated-culture was partly reduced by treatment with DMSO, a scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and it was almost fully suppressed by the mixture of DMSO and PMA, an inhibitor of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC). Accordingly, both ROS and GJIC contribute to the above-mentioned bystander response and GJIC might play an essential role by mediating the release of soluble biochemical factors from targeted cells.

Times Cited Count：14 Percentile：58.66(Instruments & Instrumentation)A combination of the fundamental- and the fifth-harmonic voltages is ideally suited for flat-top acceleration in a variable-energy multi-particle cyclotron for energy-spread minimization. The flat-topping of the energy gain distribution using the fifth-harmonics has the advantages of minimizing an amplifier power, reducing power dissipation in a resonator and increasing the energy gain per turn. The flat-top acceleration system of the JAERI AVF cyclotron was designed to reduce the energy spread to 0.02 
, required for microbeam production. Tolerable fluctuations of acceleration voltages and the magnetic excitation were 2.0

for the fifth-harmonic voltage, and 1.910
