At Materials and Life science experimental Facility (MLF) in J-PARC, a mercury target of an intense pulsed spallation neutron source is designed to be irradiated by 3 GeV and 1MW proton beams to provide high intensity neutron beams to a suit of neutron instruments. A unified mercury radioactivity monitor (UHAM) is installed to find an indication of failure of the mercury target and loop system by detecting radioactive materials leaked from the system with a gamma-ray energy analysis with Germanium semi-conductor detectors. It is composed of three units of sampling port and radiation monitors: 1) HAM for interstitial helium gas layer between the mercury vessel and surrounding water shroud of the mercury target, 2) CAM for atmosphere in the hot cell where the target loop is operated and 3) VAM for helium gas in the helium vessel where the target vessel is installed. Once any leakages of radioactive materials are detected, an alarm signal is issued immediately to the accelerator control system to stop beam operation. Software and hardware have been upgraded yearly. For example, two Ge detectors are used for HAM for redundancy, NaI Scintillation detectors are also used as supplemental for the Ge detector to keep availability of the system for high counting rate event. In addition, A gas monitor is equipped at CAM to detect tritium. Until now, several operation experiences could be obtained as the follwoing. 1) Xe-121 and Xe-123 gas could be detected at CAM. These radio-active gaseous radioactive nuclides are slightly leaked from cover gas of mercury target. 2) Humidity in the helium vessel could be detected at VAM, because detection of annihilation gamma-ray and N-15 were increased. 3) The detection of Ar-41 indicated the air mixing in helium atmosphere.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency is working on the research and development of an accelerator-driven nuclear transmutation system (ADS) for transmuting minor actinides. This system is a combination of a subcritical nuclear reactor and a high-power superconducting proton linear accelerator (JADS-linac). One of the challenges in developing the JADS-linac is to reduce the number of beam trips. Until now, the beam trip frequency of the JADS-linac has been estimated from the operation data of the J-PARC linac, which uses the normal-conducting acceleration (NC) cavities. Recently, data on beam trips in the superconducting acceleration (SRF) cavities of the Spallation Neutron Source of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (SNS) have been published. These data are important for the estimation of the beam trip frequency of the JADS-linac. Rather, the SNS data are more appropriate than the J-PARC data, because the JADS-linac uses the SRF cavities. On the other hand, the calculation methods in the published data for the NC cavities of J-PARC and the SRF cavities of SNS are different, so it is not possible to simply compare the two. In this study, the mean time between beam trips (MTBT) of the J-PARC NC cavity and the SNS SRF cavity are compared using the same condition. Specifically, the MTBT of the acceleration cavities connected to a single klystron system was calculated and compared. As a result, the MTBT of the SNS SRF cavity was 5.0 and 8.8 times longer than that of the J-PARC NC cavity for 
and 
h, respectively, where 
is the beam trip duration.

At Materials and Life science Facility (MLF) in J-PARC, 3 GeV and 1MW proton beam induces a carbon target and a mercury target to provide muon beam and neutron beam, respectively. The first target station of MLF, "TS1", started to operate from 2008 and stably operates with nearby 1MW as of April 2024. As an upgrade of MLF, the second target station, "TS2", is being planned. TS2 is located near TS1 and the proton beam line to TS2 is divided at halfway to the TS1 proton beam line. Total proton beam power supplied by accelerators increases to 1.5MW. Although the repetition rate is still 25Hz, 1 of 3 pulses are transported to TS2, resulting in 8.3Hz and 0.5MW of proton beam to TS2. TS2 has a tungsten rotating target to provide both neutron and muon, and moderators to provide much higher neutron brightness by adopting higher current density of proton beam, a closer moderator position to the target, a flatter moderator and so on. Beryllium and Iron are chosen as reflector materials. The rotating target cooled by helium gas is also expected to increase neutron and muon intensities with a coexistence of them. Details of TS2 plan are summarized in Ref. In order to provide high intensity neutrons, optimization studies of TS2 were performed by the simulation code PHITS and MCNP. Finally, the coupled moderator of TS2 can provide 4 times higher intensity than that of TS1. If smaller height of moderator is chosen, brightness increases to 8 times compared with TS1. Decoupled moderators of TS2 also provide 3 time higher than that of TS1. A fixed solid target case was also compared.

At Materials and Life Science Facility in J-PARC, 3 GeV and 1 MW pulsed proton beam hits mercury and carbon targets and intense neutron and muon beams are provided for various measurements. As samples in the measurements are activated, estimation of radioactivity of samples is very necessary for a radiation safety of user experiments. Therefore, estimation system, SAmple Radioactivity Evaluation program (SARE), is developed. SARE can estimate radioactivity of samples at each neutron and muon beam line with neutron flux and activation cross section. The neutron flux data was applied from references and the activation cross section data was obtained from DCHAIN-SP-2001. The activation of negative-muon can be also estimated from a database. SARE has a user-friendly interface of Web servlet based on JAVA and JAVA script and can select various conditions for the estimation. In the presentation, we will introduce SARE and validation results performed at BL10 with the foil-activation method.

A proton irradiation facility is under consideration at J-PARC to study the irradiation effects of candidate structural materials for accelerator-driven systems (ADS) and high-power target materials. In the facility, irradiation tests in liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) alloys will be performed for the candidate structural materials. Post irradiation examination (PIE) of irradiated samples will be carried out in the PIE facility to be constructed near the proton irradiation facility. In the PIE facility, PIE of the samples irradiated in the other facilities in J-PARC and in overseas accelerator facilities will also be performed. In this presentation, first, the conceptual study of the PIE facility, including the items to be tested and the test flow will be described. And then, the specifications and quantities of the facilities and the test equipment required to perform these test items will be shown. Finally, the layout of the PIE facility will be proposed.

It is essential to estimate the residual gamma-ray dose rate at accelerator facilities, such as accelerator-driven system. Even though improvements of computer performance enabled us to predict nuclide production cross sections by physics models, the prediction accuracy of the models should be confirmed more. Thus, we have been measuring the nuclide production cross sections by the proton bombardment on various targets with activation technique at J-PARC. In this study, we measured nuclide production cross section of the Ag(p,X) reaction.

A new Non-Evaporable Getter (NEG) coating has been developed for J-PARC's advanced vacuum systems, addressing performance degradation due to repeated atmospheric exposure. The new technique removes oxide films from the interior of titanium vacuum chambers before applying the NEG coating, using titanium's getter function to maintain lower pressures even after repeated exposure. A lightweight, compact prototype transfer case was designed to transport nanomaterial samples between analyzers while maintaining ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. Tests between J-PARC and SPring-8 confirmed successful transport of NEG-coated (Ti, Zr, V) surfaces and silicon wafers without oxidation. Future improvements will focus on enhancing the design for commercial use and applying it to J-PARC's future accelerator vacuum systems.

Times Cited Count：1We investigated the local dynamics of polybutadiene over a wide temperature range, using quasielastic neutron scattering combined in the modified mode distribution analysis. Among these processes, the subpicosecond fast process was analyzed using a local diffusion model, which characterizes the dynamics via two physically meaningful parameters: the local diffusion coefficient and the harmonic potential stiffness. Temperature-dependent analysis revealed a distinct dynamic transition near the glass transition, which is interpreted as the disappearance of cooperative diffusion involving multiple segments. Furthermore, an additional relaxation mode, termed the extra-fast process, was identified and interpreted as a higher-order mode within the local diffusion model. These findings suggest a unified physical framework for the evolution of local motions across the glass transition and establish a robust methodology for quantifying polymer dynamics at subnanometer and subpicosecond scales.

Accelerator cooling-water facility cannot prevent electrolytic corrosion because the systems consist of several different kinds of metals. We have confirmed that the electrolytic corrosion certainly occurs between oxygen-free copper and carbon steel, and cannot be suppressed by the rust inhibitor used so far. We have chosen a new rust inhibitor and confirmed that the new rust inhibitor can prevent the corrosion progression of carbon steel as well as oxygen-free copper. Moreover, using the new rust inhibitor brings about saving water and the cost reduction of the inhibitors.

We analyze powder-averaged inelastic neutron scattering and magnetization data for the distorted honeycomb compound CuSbO using a first-order dimer expansion calculation and quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We show that, in contrast to the previously proposed honeycomb lattice model, CuSbO accommodates interacting dimerized spin chains with alternating ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic couplings along the chain. Moreover, unlike the typical couplings observed in other Cu
-based distorted honeycomb magnets, the spin chains in CuSbO primarily couple through an antiferromagnetic coupling that arises between the honeycomb layers, rather than the expected interchain coupling in the layers. This finding reveals a different magnetic coupling scheme for CuSbO. In addition, utilizing X-ray spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy, we also refine the crystal structure and stacking-fault model of the compound.

The replacement project for the Magnetic Alloy (MA) cavities of the 3GeV RCS at J-PARC has been underway for several years. The original cavities are the push-pull (PP) configuration, where rf current is supplied alternately from a pair of tetrode tubes to the electrodes on the upstream and downstream sides of the acceleration gap. All cavities are to be replaced with newly developed single-ended (SE) cavities. In PP cavities, significant unbalance in the operation of the upstream and downstream tetrodes due to multiharmonic rf occurs. This unbalance has been one of the limiting factor of beam intensity. This unbalance does not occur essentially in SE cavities. Currently, six of the twelve cavities have been replaced. The SE cavity does not have a configuration to cancel even-order higher harmonics, therefore the harmonic components are different from those of the original PP cavity. We report on the operational experience with the single-ended cavity at the J-PARC RCS.
