Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:68.16(Astronomy & Astrophysics)Detailed -ray spectroscopy of the exotic neon isotope Ne has been performed using the one-neutron removal reaction from Ne. Based on an analysis of parallel momentum distributions, a level scheme with spin-parity assignments has been constructed for Ne and the negative-parity states are identified for the first time. The measured partial cross sections and momentum distributions reveal a significant intruder p-wave strength providing evidence of the breakdown of the N = 20 and N = 28 shell gaps. Only a weak, possible f-wave strength was observed to bound final states. Large-scale shell-model calculations with different effective interactions do not reproduce the large p-wave and small f-wave strength observed experimentally, indicating an ongoing challenge for a complete theoretical description of the transition into the island of inversion along the Ne isotopic chain.

Fiscal year 2011 was significantly influenced by the East Japan Great Earthquake (March 11, 2011). The operation of the TIARA facility which was being planned from April started from the middle of May. Lost beam-time of the experiment due to the great earthquake was compensated with operations on Saturday biweekly. And it was obliged to re-examine the operation plan during the period of electric power reduction in July, August, and September. The demanded reduction rate of electric power in daytime for summer season was 15% as compared with 2010. The limited value in daytime was 3,600 kW. Therefore, the experiment in daytime was conducted with light ions (H, D with 20 MeV) only by the AVF Cyclotron. As mentioned above, the electric power in the daytime of summer did not exceed 3,200 kW. Moreover, the beam time as an ordinary year was secured.

Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:38.65(Instruments & Instrumentation)A phase bunching effect has been achieved for the first time using a rising slope of the dee voltage waveform produced at the first acceleration gap between the RF shielding cover of the inflector and the puller in the new central region of the JAEA AVF cyclotron. The feasibility of the phase bunching effect in the central region for a two-dee system with a span angle of 86 in three acceleration harmonic modes was assessed by a simple geometrical analysis of particle trajectories and a three-dimensional beam orbit simulation. The simulation indicated that the initial beam phase width of 40 RF degrees is compressed to 11 RF degrees in the second harmonic mode. A phase width of 1.5 RF degrees FWHM for a 260 MeV Ne beam accelerated in the second harmonic mode was reduced by the bunching effect, compared with the beam phase width of 7.3 RF degrees FWHM in the same harmonic mode for a 10 MeV H beam accelerated in the original central region.

Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:26.69(Instruments & Instrumentation)Single-turn extraction from the JAEA AVF cyclotron with a K number of 110 using a flat-top (FT) acceleration system has been achieved to reduce the energy spread of an ion beam for microbeam formation with energy up to hundreds of MeV and to increase extraction efficiency from the cyclotron. In order to generate an FT waveform voltage using the fifth-harmonic frequency on a dee electrode, an FT resonator was designed using MAFIA code to achieve downsizing and low power consumption. The FT resonator, coupled to the main resonator through a coupling capacitor, covered the full range of the fifth harmonic frequency from 55 to 110 MHz. Various ion beams, accelerated using different acceleration harmonic mode of h = 1 and 2, such as 220 MeV C (h = 2), 260 MeV Ne (h = 2), and 45 MeV H (h = 1) were developed by FT acceleration. A clear turn separation of the beam bunches was successfully observed at the extraction region of the large-scale AVF cyclotron with number of revolutions greater than 200. As a result, high extraction efficiency (over 95%) from the cyclotron was achieved. Single-turn extraction was confirmed by counting the number of beam bunches out of the cyclotron for an injected beam pulsed by a beam chopping system in the injection line. The energy spread of the 260 MeV Ne beam was measured using an analyzing magnet and we verified a reduction of the energy spread from E/E = 0.1% to 0.05% by single-turn extraction.

The TIARA facilities (Takasaki Ion Accelerators for Advanced Radiation Application: TIARA) have been constructed at Takasaki Radiation Chemistry Research Establishment (Takasaki Advanced Radiation Research Institute) under 6-year program from 1988. The first phase of the construction including those of a K110 AVF cyclotron and a 3 MV tandem accelerator was complete in October 1991. Large AVF cyclotrons have been used mostly for fundamental nuclear physics and medical applications to radiation therapy and radioisotope production so far. The JAEA K110 AVF cyclotron is the first one dedicated to R&D in materials science and other irradiation purpose. This cyclotron facility consists of three external ion sources, an injection line, a K110 AVF cyclotron, eight main beam transport lines, and a control system. The first beam, 50 MeV He, was extracted from the cyclotron in March 1991. This Report describes an outline of the K110 AVF cyclotron system and results of performance tests.

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.

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:43.09(Instruments & Instrumentation)A magnetic field drift, gradual decrease of the order of 10 in several tens of hours, was observed with the beam intensity decrease in an operation of an azimuthally-varying-field (AVF) cyclotron. From our experimental results, we show that the temperature increase of the magnet iron by the heat transfer from the excitation coils can induce such change of the magnetic field as to deteriorate the beam quality. The temperature control of the magnet iron was realized by thermal isolation between the main coil and the yoke and by precise control of the cooling water temperature of the trim coils attached to the pole surfaces in order to prevent temperature change of the magnet iron. The magnetic field stability of 510 and the beam intensity stability of 2% have been achieved by this temperature control.

The AVF cyclotron system at JAERI Takasaki has been smoothly operated for 13 years since 1991. This system continues to deliver various ion species with very frequent alterations of operational conditions. In order to provide a heavy ion beam with energy spread of 0.02 % required for microbeam production, we have developed a flat-top acceleration system, an additional buncher driven by saw-tooth wave, and improved the central region of the cyclotron. An old gradient corrector of passive type was replaced by a new gradient corrector with an active coil inside to obtain complete matching between the trunk beam line and extraction trajectory from the cyclotron. A compact ion source with a set of movable permanent magnet was designed to produce mainly light ions, which will be replaced the existing multi-cusp ion source in future.

A flat-top (FT) acceleration system for the JAERI AVF cyclotron has been designed to achieve the energy spread of dE/E = 0.02 % mainly for a microbeam production. The FT acceleration using fundamental and fifth-harmonic frequencies for an acceleration voltage is an excellent technique to reduce the energy spread. The FT waveform was successfully observed at the dee voltage pick-up in a power test at a fundamental frequency of 17.475 MHz. We succeeded in accelerating 260 MeV Ne ions at a fundamental frequency of 17.475 MHz by superimposing the fifth-harmonic voltage on the fundamental one. In the preliminary beam development, single turn extraction has been achieved by the FT acceleration mode.

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.
