Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:54.89(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)To enhance neutron intensity below cold neutrons, it is proposed that nanosized graphene aggregation could facilitate neutron coherent scattering under particle size conditions similar to nanodiamond. It might also be possible to use it in high neutron radiation conditions due to graphene's strong sp2 bonds. Using the RIKEN accelerator-driven compact neutron source and iMATERIA at J-PARC, we performed neutron measurement experiments, total neutron cross-section, and small-angle neutron scattering on nanosized graphene aggregation. The measured data revealed, for the first time, that nanosized graphene aggregation increased the total cross-sections and small-angle scattering in the cold neutron energy region, most likely due to coherent scattering, resulting in higher neutron intensities, similar to nanodiamond.

Laser cutting is one of the options in the disposal of radio-active waste, such as spallation neutron target vessel in J-PARC, etc. Due to unique characteristic of laser, such as non-contact system, it is more easily to provide remote-controlled system in comparison with conventional one, such as mechanical cutting machine, etc. However, a demerit of laser cutting is the sputter and fume caused by laser cutting, resulting in contamination with radio-active materials its surroundings. Recently it was developed that the spatter suppression technique by controlling laser beam profile in laser welding process. In order to apply this suppression technique to laser cutting, first of all, we attempted to observe the phenomenon at melting area during laser cutting using a high-speed video camera in order to make the physical model. The result showed that the appearance of fume and sputter were independently confirmed in the time evolution.

The Decommissioning Technology Demonstration Test Center (tentative name) is established as a central facility of "Fukui Smart Decommissioning Technology Demonstration Base" which was adopted by the support policy "Regional Science and Technology Demonstration Base Establishment Project" of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in FY 2016 supplementary budget. This facility is a base to train local companies about technology concerning the decommissioning of nuclear power plants and for the industry, academia and government to contribute to the development of the regional economy and solving the problem of decommissioning under one roof, and consists of decommissioning dismantling technology verification field, laser processing advanced field and decommissioning mock-up test field. The papers introduce the outline of the facilities in each of these fields.

Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:25.51(Chemistry, Physical)Recently, positronium (Ps) formation mechanism in the spur is becoming clarified. Blob model, the modified Spur model, proposed by Stepanov can give information of Ps formation time. Dauwe et al. showed that S(t) curve of PMMA observed by AMOC measurement could be fitted by the blob model. The young-age broadening was found and explained with the delayed slowing down of Ps by Stuttgart group. The delayed Ps formation was shown by Suzuki et al. especially at low temperatures, because positrons can diffuse long distance to find trapped electrons. According to the blob model, Ps formation even after long diffusion of positrons might be possible even at the room temperature. Now we are trying to obtain the experimental evidence of delayed Ps formation in spur process.

The annihilation rays from the para-pojitoronium (p-Ps) state gives narrower Doppler broadening. The broader Doppler broadening was observed at very young age region that is mainly from the annihilation process of p-Ps. It was explained by the delayed Ps slowing down and the delayed Ps formation. We have successfully obtained the experimental evidence of the delayed Ps formation.

Many ions and the excess electrons are formed by the injected positron just before the thermalization of that positron in a small area (it is called spur or blob) in condensed matter. The positron has a chance to form positronium (Ps) with one of the excess electrons. According to the model of Ps formation in the spur (blob), the initial encounter pairs of an electron and a positron will form Ps in short time. Some of the positrons have some possibility to form Ps after diffusion in several hundreds pico-seconds. There were experimental results that were interpreted as a Ps thermalization by a group in Germany more than 10 years ago. However, we have believed that some of the results were caused by the delayed Ps formation and have successfully obtained the experimental evidence of the delayed Ps formation by applying electric fields on the sample, fused quartz.

The injected positrons to condensed materials form a very small area where they deposit much energy and some tens of ion-electron pairs are formed. This area is called a positron spur or blob. Positrons have a possibility to form positronium at this area. Some of the positrons are isolated from the excess electrons when they thermalized. They will have smaller possibility to form positronium and longer time to form positronium. Therefore the positronium formation by the isolated positrons from excess electrons can be easily inhibited by applying the external electric fields. We have found this expected phenomena by applying the external electric fields.
