Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:65.59(Instruments & Instrumentation)Nuclide production cross sections for proton-induced reactions on Mn and Co at incident energies of 1.3, 2.2, and 3.0 GeV were measured by the activation method at the J-PARC. In total, 143 production cross sections of reaction products were obtained. Among them, the cross sections of Mn(p,X)S and Mn(p,X)Ar were measured for the first time. The stable proton beam and well established beam monitoring system contributed to the reduction of the systematic uncertainties to typically less than 5%, which was better than those of the previous data. To examine the prediction capabilities of spallation reaction models and evaluated data library, the measured data were compared with the spallation reaction models in PHITS (INCL4.6/GEM, etc.), INCL++/ABLA07, and the JENDL/HE-2007 library. The comparison of the mean square deviation factors indicated that both INCL4.6/GEM and JENDL/HE-2007 showed better agreement with the measured data than the others.

Times Cited Count:7 Percentile:96.32(Nuclear Science & Technology)A new data acquisition system (DAQ system) in J-PARC Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) ANNRI was developed. Increasing beam power of MLF in recent years allows beam line users to obtain high quantity experimental data yields. Compared to 2008, more than 20 times beam current is achieved in 2015. For the purpose to correspond strong beam power of MLF, a new DAQ system for the array of the Ge detectors in ANNRI is developed. The DAQ system is also going to be used for processing signals from a Li glass detector, which is under development at ANNRI for measurement of total neutron cross sections. Commissioning experiment of a new DAQ system at ANNRI was performed by using 0.1mmt Au sample with 500kW J-PARC proton beam power. An applicability of time-of-flight method for both neutron capture and total cross-sections measurements was checked. ADC and TDC nonlinearity, energy resolution, multi-channel coincidence and dead time performance for the array of the Ge detectors were also evaluated. The dead time value for Ge detectors was successfully decreased to 1/4 from the previous DAQ system with minor deterioration on energy resolution. The author would like to thank the accelerator and technical staff at J-PARC for operation of the accelerator and the neutron production target and for the other experimental supports. Present study includes the result of "Research and Development for accuracy improvement of neutron nuclear data on minor actinides" entrusted to the Japan Atomic Energy Agency by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan (MEXT).

This report describes the study done by the author as a postdoctoral research associate at Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute. This report is divided into two parts: improvements in accuracy in determination of thermal neutron capture cross sections, and improvements in accuracy of photo-nuclear absorption cross section measurements using the HHS. (1)In the measurements of thermal neutron capture cross sections using an activation method, accuracies of the final results attained are limited by (1) accuracy of -ray peak detection efficiencies, and (2) accuracies of -ray emission probabilities. In this study; to determine thermal neutron capture cross sections more accurately, the following researches have been done using a newly developed three-dimensional coincidence measurement system: (1)accurate determination of -ray standard sources using a - coincidence method, for precise calibration of -ray peak detection efficiency, and (2) development of a - coincidence measurement system using a plastic scintillation detector as a -ray detector, for the determination of -ray emission probabilities of short-lived nuclides, and measurement of -ray emission probabilities of Tc nuclide using the coincidence system. (2)To transform radioactive nuclides with small thermal neutron capture cross sections, use of photonuclear absorption reaction has been suggested. In order to transform these nuclides efficiently using the reaction, one has to know detailed behavior of the photo-absorption cross sections. In this study, a Monte-Carlo simulation code has been used to create a standard set of -ray response functions of the high-resolution high-energy spectrometer (HHS), to enable reliable analyses of the data obtained by the spectrometer.

By using neutron instruments, NOBORU and AMATERAS, in J-PARC spallation neutron source, we started to measure temperature dependent total and scattering cross section data of hydrogenous material ranging in thermal and cold neutron region. The cross section data of light water and ethanol were measured.

Hydrogenous materials are mainly applied as a moderator material used in high-intense and small neutron sources because of good moderating characterization for neutrons. Scattering data including total cross sections of cold-thermal neutrons are important to characterize moderators. However, as some measurements are old, we have been continuously and systematically measuring the cross sections of hydrogenous materials since 2018 for a new neutron source development. In this presentation, the measurements of o-xylene, m-xylene and p-xylene carried out in 2020 and 2021 will be presented as a hydrogenous material. The measurements were performed at NOBORU and AMATERAS in MLF of J-PARC. The total cross sections were measured at NOBORU, and the scattering cross sections were measured at AMATERAS. The sample temperatures were 20, 100, 200, 300 K and temperatures near the melting point. The sample was contained in an aluminum cell. The time-of-flight method was used to measure the energy-dependent transmission of the sample. The scattering data was converted to the scattering cross section by a multiple energy chopping. Details will be reported on the day.
