Times Cited Count:8 Percentile:60(Engineering, Biomedical)Systems for "protein transduction", the intracellular delivery of functional proteins, are needed to address the deliverability challenges of protein therapy, but protein transfer in vivo remains difficult. In this study, we have developed a magnetically induced in vivo protein transfection system using a magnetic nanogel chaperone (MC) composed of iron oxide nanoparticles and polysaccharide nanogels. Experiments using an oral cancer model have shown that this MC system is useful for cancer treatment.

Times Cited Count:7 Percentile:48.36(Instruments & Instrumentation)A position-sensitive tubular scintillator-based neutron detector is proposed as an alternative to a He-gas-based detector. The detector has a neutron-detecting element constructed from rolled ZnS/LiF scintillator screens that sandwich wavelength-shifting (WLS) fibre coils (SFC element). Multiple SFC elements are enclosed in an aluminium tube in a row to form a one-dimensional position-sensitive neutron detector. The design of the WLS fibre coil, which was determined by performing basic experiments, comprised two 0.75-mm-diameter WLS fibres wound in parallel at a pitch of 1.5 mm. A 64-element detector with a pixel size of 22 mm 20 mm (width length) successfully demonstrated the detection principle. The tubular shape of the new detector is similar to the usual 25-mm-diameter He tube, making this an alternative detector with the potential to be installed in a vacuum tank for inelastic-neutron-scattering instruments.

When a nuclear emergency occurs in Japan, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has the responsibility of providing technical support to the National government, local governments, police, fire stations and nuclear operators etc., because the JAEA has been designated as the Designated Public Institution under the Basic Act on Disaster Control Measures and the Act on Response to Armed Attack Situations, etc.. The Nuclear Emergency Assistance and Training Center (NEAT) of JAEA provides a comprehensive range of technical support activities to an Off-Site Center in case of a nuclear emergency. Specifically, NEAT gives technical advice and information, dispatches specialists as required, and supplies the National Government and local governments with emergency equipments and materials. NEAT provides various exercise and training courses concerning nuclear disaster prevention to those personnel taking an active part in emergency response organizations at normal times. The tasks of NEAT, with its past experiences as a designated public institution including the responses to TEPCO's Fukushima Accident, have been shifted to technical supports to the national government for strengthening its abilities to emergency responses; the NEAT therefore focused on maintenance and operation of its functions, and strengthening its response abilities in cooperation with the national government. This annual report summarized these activities of JAEA/NEAT in the fiscal year 2012.

The detection efficiency of a ZnS-based neutron scintillator detector was evaluated as a function of the incident angle and the wavelength of a neutron. A pulsed neutron beam that has a wavelength from 1 to 8 was incident to the test detector that implemented a ZnS/LiF and ZnS/BO scintillator that have thicknesses of 0.45 and of 0.20 mm, respectively. In each scintillator the detection efficiency increased as the incident angle increased for neutrons with a wavelength shorter than about 3. A comparison between the experimental results and the model fitting are presented.

In JAEA, we develop the small size high energy particle source that based on the laser-driven ion accelerator. Laser-driven acceleration systems have generated beams with energies up to tens-MeV ions1) from laser-plasma interaction. These ions are combined with X-ray and high energy electrons. The diagnostic most using for these ion beams is the Thomson parabola with CR-39 detector that has a characteristic of an effective way for ions detection under these conditions. However, CR-39 is necessary the etching process, and cannot obtain Thomson parabola's data online. So we challenge the development of an online Thomson parabola spectrometor with CCD camera and fluorescence film.

Times Cited Count:8 Percentile:34.38(Physics, Applied)Many applications of laser-accelerated ions will require beamlines with diagnostic capability for validating simulations and machine performance at the single bunch level as well as for the development of controls to optimize machine performance. We demonstrated prompt, in-line, single bunch transverse profile and energy spectrum detection using a thin luminescent diagnostic and scintillator-based time-of-flight spectrometer simultaneously. The Monte Carlo code, particle and heavy ion transport code systems (PHITS) simulation is shown to be reasonably predictive at low proton energy for the observed transverse profiles measured by the thin luminescent monitor and also for single bunch energy spectra measured by time-of-flight spectrometry.

Future synchrotron light source using a 5-GeV energy recovery linac (ERL) is under proposal by our Japanese collaboration team, and we are conducting R&D efforts for that. We are developing high-brightness DC photocathode guns, two types of cryomodules for both injector and main superconducting (SC) linacs, and 1.3 GHz high CW-power RF sources. We are also constructing the Compact ERL (cERL) for demonstrating the recirculation of low-emittance, high-current beams using above-mentioned critical technologies.

Times Cited Count:30 Percentile:71.8(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)A phosphor material such as SrBPO:Eu has been investigated for two-dimensional imaging for pulsed-neutron source. The authors found this phosphor itself shows photostimulated luminescence (PSL) by illumination of 635 nm laser light after neutron irradiation without adding any neutron sensitive materials such as Gd. The PSL intensity per neutron flux was proportional to E, where E is neutron energy. The neutron sensitivity was increased by using enriched boron instead of natural boron. The S/S ratio of this phosphor using enriched boron was better than that of a commercially available imaging plate, where S and S are gamma and neutron sensitivities, respectively.
