The structure of a neutron-rich $$^{25}$$F nucleus is investigated by a quasifree ($$p,2p$$) knockout reaction. The sum of spectroscopic factors of $$pi 0d_{5/2}$$ orbital is found to be 1.0 $$pm$$ 0.3. The result shows that the $$^{24}$$O core of $$^{25}$$F nucleus significantly differs from a free $$^{24}$$O nucleus, and the core consists of $$sim$$35% $$^{24}$$O$$_{rm g.s.}$$, and $$sim$$65% excited $$^{24}$$O. The result shows that the $$^{24}$$O core of $$^{25}$$F nucleus significantly differs from a free $$^{24}$$O nucleus. The result may infer that the addition of the $$0d_{5/2}$$ proton considerably changes the neutron structure in $$^{25}$$F from that in $$^{24}$$O, which could be a possible mechanism responsible for the oxygen dripline anomaly.

A combination of a petawatt laser and nuclear physics techniques can crucially facilitate the measurement of exotic nuclei properties. With numerical simulations and laser-driven experiments we show prospects for the Laser-driven Exotic Nuclei extraction-acceleration method proposed in [M. Nishiuchi et al., Phys. Plasmas 22, 033107 (2015)]: a femtosecond petawatt laser, irradiating a target bombarded by an external ion beam, extracts from the target and accelerates to few GeV highly charged short-lived heavy exotic nuclei created in the target via nuclear reactions.

Almost fully stripped Fe ions accelerated up to 0.9 GeV are demonstrated with a 200 TW femtosecond high-intensity laser irradiating a micron-thick Al foil with Fe impurity on the surface. An energetic low-emittance high-density beam of heavy ions with a large charge-to-mass ratio can be obtained, which is useful for many applications, such as a compact radio isotope source in combination with conventional technology.

The uranium dendrite growth on cathode during pyroprocessing of uranium is investigated using a novel phase-field model, in which electrodeposition of uranium and zirconium from molten-salt is taken into account. The threshold concentration of zirconium in molten salt demarcating the dendritic and planar growth is then estimated as a function of the current density. Moreover, growth process of both the dendritic and planar electrodeposits has been demonstrated by way of varying the mobility of the phase field, which consists of the effect of attachment kinetics and diffusion.

Dissociation and recapture dynamics in H$$_2$$O following O 1s inner-shell excitation

Gejo, Tatsuo*; Oura, Masaki*; Kuniwake, Miki*; Homma, Kenji*; Harries, J.

Journal of Physics; Conference Series, 288, p.012023_1 - 012023_7, 2011/04

 Times Cited Count:11 Percentile:91.67

In this paper we present a study of the dissociation dynamics following O 1s inner-shell excitation/ionization in the water molecule. When the O 1s electron is excited just below or just above the ionization threshold, neutral fragments are created. Information on the electronic states of these fragments provides information on the dissociation dynamics. Excitation of the O 1s electron creates a H$$_2$$O$$^+$$ ionic core, which is unstable and undergoes Auger decay. The resulting H$$_2$$O$$^{2+}$$ ion core subsequently dissociates into 2 or three fragments, to one of which the initially excited electron attaches. If this fragment is O$$^+$$ or OH$$^+$$, a neutral, excited O atom can be created. This fragment can undergo further Auger (autoionisation) decay. Here we have analysed the kinetic energy distribution of both these low energy electrons and also the initial high energy Auger electron, obtaining new information on the processes involved.

Photodissociation dynamics of water in K-edge energy region

Gejo, Tatsuo*; Kuniwake, Miki*; Homma, Kenji*; Harries, J.; Oura, Masaki*; Sullivan, J. P.*; Azuma, Yoshiro*

no journal, , 

Exciting an inner-shell electron of a molecule to just-above or just-below its ionisation limit provides a system where the Born-Oppenheimer principle is no longer valid, and a valuable opportunity for studying the interaction of the unstable ion core and a low-energy electron. When the ion core undergoes Auger decay and fragments, the initially excited electron can be recaptured. It is the aim of this research to understand what happens in the case of the water molecule, by (1) detecting excited H atoms produced when the electron is captured by an outgoing proton. (2) detect the Lyman-$$alpha$$ radiation produced when these excited H atoms decay, and (3) analysing the energy of low-energy Auger electrons emitted when the electron is captured by an O$$^+$$ or O$$^{++}$$ fragment.

no journal, , 

Photo-excitation of the O 1s electron in H$$_2$$O can lead to the production of neutral, excited H atoms. Knowledge of the excited state distribution provides information on the dissociation dynamics process. Excitation of the O 1s electron leads to a H$$_2$$O$$^+$$ ion core. Auger decay subsequently leads to H$$_2$$O$$^{2+}$$, which dissociates, and one of the fragments can capture the initially excited electron. If this fragment is H$$^+$$, excited neutral H atoms are formed. In this research we use pulsed synchrotron radiation as the excitation source, and detect the UV fluorescence emitted when the excited H atoms decay. Analysis of the decay lifetimes leads to information on the excited state distribution.

The Photodissociation dynamics of H$$_2$$O after recapture process via Auger decay of O 1s inner-shell excitation

no journal, , 

In this research we have obtained new information on the photo-dissociation dynamics of the water molecule following O (1s) inner-shell excitation/ionisation. When the O 1s electron is excited as well as neutral excited H atoms, highly-excited O and OH fragments can also be produced. By investigating which states these fragments are in information can be obtained on the dissociation routes. When the inner-shell O 1s electron is excited/ionised, an H$$_2$$O$$^+$$ ion core is formed. This is unstable, and Auger decay occurs. The resulting H$$_2$$O$$^{2+}$$ ion core dissociates, and one of the fragments can capture the initially excited electron. When this fragment is O$$^+$$, a neutral O atom is formed. This fragment can undergo further Auger decay, resulting in the production of an electron with low kinetic energy. In this research these electrons are detected and energy analysed.

To investigate the quark-gruon plasma or the systhesis of the super-heavy elements, the upgrade of the existing large accelerator facilities are going on. At J-PARC, the high flux high energy heavy ion beam is also desired. To have the beam, it is key issue how to obtain the high Q/M heavy ions a the ion source. However, the conventional ion source technique have difficulties to obtain such ions. On the other hand, we succeeded to obtain the high Q/M heavy ion beam with $$>$$ 10 MeV/u from the interaction between the J-KAREN laser and thin foil target interaction. This results shows that the laser-driven ion acceleration scheme have possibility that it can substitute the conventional ion source as well as the injector.

For the applications of compact injector, we conduct the ion acceleration experiments using relatively compact and high-contrast short pulse laser system, J-KAREN at KPSI JAEA. The on-target laser intensity of 10$$^{21}$$ Wcm$$^{-2}$$ with 200TW, less than 10J of energy, is achieved by controlling the temporal and spatial pulse profiles. Without applying plasma mirror system, the maximum proton energy of 43 MeV is obtained with aluminum (Al) 0.8 um thick target. In some shots we observe that the protons and Al ions are accelerated up to 30 MeV and 12 MeV/u, respectively. With the soft X-ray spectroscopy the Al ions are found to be almost fully stripped, which is caused by the synergy of three major effects: optical field ionization due to the laser and plasma collective fields; the electron impact ionization; and the X-ray single photon ionization. The observation of almost fully stripped Al ions proves that laser-driven ions acceleration is a promising ion source for the conventional accelerator. In addition, the observed energy of 12 MeV/u of the Al ions shows that the laser-based ion acceleration method can be the basis of a compact heavy ion injector for nuclear physics.

Laser-driven ion beam is paid attention because of its peculiar characteristics. One of the applications is the compact injector for the conventional accelerator system for the nuclear research. For that objective, we have carried out the J-KAREN experiment with 10$$^{21}$$ Wcm$$^{-2}$$ of intensity, less than 10 J of energy and 35fs of laser duration with 10$$^{10}$$ contrast level. The J-KAREN laser pulses are irradiated on the Al foil target. Almost fully stripped aluminum ion acceleration up to 12 MeV/u from the interaction between the ultra-intense short pulse high contrast laser and the micrometer thick foil target is presented.

The contemporary radiofrequency accelerator technology provides radio-isotope beams for the research. However, the existing technology now faces difficulties in exploring the further frontiers. One of the solutions might be brought by the combination of the state of the art high intensity short pulse laser system and the nuclear measurement technique. Recent progress of the laser technology brought table-top lasers with focused intensity up to 10$$^{21}$$ Wcm$$^{-2}$$ with only less than 10 J of energy on target. By the interaction with the solid density target, the laser can extract heavy ions in multi-charged state and low emittance, independently on the chemical properties of the target material. We propose Laser-driven Exotic Nuclei extraction-acceleration methods (LENex), in which the exotic nuclei which are the products in the target by the bombardment of the external ion beam, are extracted away by a femtosecond petawatt laser pulse in the form of highly-charged and high energy beam. As a proof-of-experiment of the LENex scheme, we demonstrate the extraction of the almost fully stripped iron ions with the energies of 0.9 GeV by J-KAREN laser system.

Understanding of past environmental and geochemical changes is significant issues to estimate global climate variation. Therefore, these changes have been studied by continuous terrestrial sediments. The high-time resolution past environmental changes, especially monsoon fluctuations, have been reported in previous studies using geochemical signatures in stalagmites from Asian caves. However, continuous climate records in Tibetan plateau have not yet been cleared, which a key area to understand mechanism of monsoon fluctuations. In this study, mean grain size and geochemical proxies from lake sediment cores from south Tibetan plateau were used for estimation of past monsoon changes during Holocene. Spectral analysis of the mean grain size in the Tibetan lake indicated 1000-1500 years climate cycles, which might be caused by the changes in solar activities. These monsoon fluctuations based on the mean grain size were also supported by geochemical proxies in this study.

High-time resolution measurements of the major and trace inorganic elements, such as Rb and Sr, from the Lake Baikal sediment core was carried out to estimate the weathering response and the material provenance in the lake watershed. The fluctuations of the Rb/Sr ratio and mean grain size (MGS) during the Holocene were corresponding with each other. The similar profiles between the Rb/Sr ratio and the MGS from loess sediment in China have been observed in previous study. These results imply that the Rb/Sr ratio can be used as the proxy to estimate the East Asian winter monsoon intensity.
