In neutron fundamental physics, study of correlation term $${bf s}cdot{bf I}$$ of a neutron spin $${bf s}$$ and a target nuclear spin $${bf I}$$ is important because $${bf s}cdot{bf I}$$ term interferes to parity non-conserving (PNC) and time reversal non-conserving terms. For this study, a xenon (Xe) is an interesting nucleus because it has been observed an enhancement of PNC effect around neutron resonance peaks, and polarizes up to $$ sim 10^{-1}$$ by using a spin exchange optical pumping (SEOP) method. We would plan to develop a polarized Xe gas target with a compact in-situ SEOP system, and to study $${bf s}cdot{bf I}$$ term by utilizing epithermal neutron beams supplied from a high intense pulsed spallation neutron source. As the first step, we attempted to measure neutron polarizing ability caused by $${bf s}cdot{bf I}$$ term at a 9.6 eV s-wave resonance peak of $$^{129}$$Xe at BL10 in MLF, by detecting change $$Delta R$$ of ratio between neutron transmissions with the polarized and unpolarized Xe target. After demonstrating that our apparatus could detect small change ($$Delta R_{rm DB} , {approx},10^{-2}$$) of neutron transmissions caused by Doppler broadening effect, a signified value of $$Delta R$$ has been obtained as preliminary results. For analyzing the obtained $$Delta R$$ in detail, we are improving our nuclear magnetic resonance and electron paramagnetic resonance systems for evaluating Xe polarization independently of neutron beams.

Application of probability generating function to the essentials of nondestructive nuclear materials assay system using neutron correlation

Application of probability generating function for nondestructive nuclear materials assay system was studied. First, high-order neutron correlations were derived algebraically up to septuplet and basic characteristics of the correlations were investigated. It was found that higher-order correlation increases rapidly in response to the increase of leakage multiplication, crosses and leaves lower-order correlations behind, when leakage multiplication is $$>$$ 1.3 that depends on detector efficiency and counter setting. Next, fission rates and doubles count rates by fast neutron and by thermal neutron in their coexisting system were derived algebraically. It was found that the number of induced fissions per unit time by fast neutron and by thermal neutron, the number of induced fissions ($$<$$ 1) by one source neutron, and individual doubles count rates were possible to be estimated from Rossi-alpha combined distribution and measured ratio of each area obtained by differential die-away self-interrogation and conventional assay data.

Development of a neutron-imaging detector based on pulse-height correlation between two superconducting tunnel junctions on a Li$$_{2}$$B$$_{4}$$O$$_{7}$$ crystal

We have been developing a position-sensitive neutron detector, which exhibits a high spatial resolution of the order of 10 microns and high detection efficiency. The analysis on the pulse-heights or on the time-delay between the STJs gives incident positions of the neutrons. In this paper, the response of the STJs/LBO neutron detector measured using a cold neutron beam is presented. The two STJs have the same size of 50 $$times$$ 50 $$mu$$ m$$^{2}$$ and their distance is 1.3 mm. The count intensity in the correlation map varied depending on the incident position of the neutron beam which gives an evidence for the position-sensitivity of the detector. These experimental results were qualitatively understood by a simple solid-angle model.

$$^{1}S_{0}$$ proton superfluidity in neutron star matter; Impact of bulk properties

We study the $$^{1}S_{0}$$ proton pairing gap in neutron star matterputting emphasis on influence of the Dirac effective mass and theproton fraction on the gap within the relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubovmodel. The gap equation is solved using the Bonn-B potential as aparticle-particle channel interaction. It is found that the maximalpairing gap $$Delta_mathrm{max}$$ is 1-2MeV, which has a strongcorrelation with the Dirac effective mass. Hence we suggest that itserves as a guide to narrow down parameter sets of the relativisticeffective field theory. Furthermore, the more slowly protons increasewith density, the lower the peak of the gap and the wider thesuperfluid range become.

Possibility of $$LambdaLambda$$ pairing and its dependence on background density in a relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov model

Tanigawa, Tomonori; Matsuzaki, Masayuki*; Chiba, Satoshi

Physical Review C, 68(1), p.015801_1 - 015801_8, 2003/07

We calculate a $$LambdaLambda$$ pairing gap in binary mixed matter of nucleons and $$Lambda$$ hyperons within the relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov model since a recent experiment suggests a weaker $$LambdaLambda$$ attraction than before, which has a significant impact on properties of neutron stars in various aspects. Lambda hyperons to be paired up are immersed in background nucleons in normal state. A phenomenological $$LambdaLambda$$ interaction, which is derived relativistically from the Lagrangian of the system, is adopted to the gap equation. It is found that at background density $$rho_{N}=2.5rho_{0}$$ the $$LambdaLambda$$ pairing gap is very small, and that denser background makes it rapidly suppressed. This result suggests a mechanism, specific to mixed matter dealt with relativistic models, of its dependence on the nucleon density.
