廃止措置においては、生成放射能の評価に資する核データとして、中性子捕獲断面積を整備する必要がある。本研究では、整備すべき対象核種のうち$$^{45}$$Sc, $$^{63}$$Cu, $$^{65}$$Zn, $$^{109}$$Ag及び$$^{113}$$Inを選定し、KURのTC-Pnを用いてそれらの熱中性子捕獲断面積測定を行った。その結果、熱中性子捕獲断面積の結果が、以下のとおり得られた:$$^{45}$$Sc(n, $$gamma$$)$$^{46}$$Sc反応は27.18$$pm$$0.28 barn、$$^{63}$$Cu(n, $$gamma$$)$$^{64}$$Cu反応は4.34$$pm$$0.06 barn、$$^{64}$$Zn(n, $$gamma$$)$$^{65}$$Zn反応は0.719$$pm$$0.011 barn、$$^{109}$$Ag(n, $$gamma$$)$$^{rm 110m}$$Ag反応は4.05$$pm$$0.05 barn、そして$$^{113}$$In(n, $$gamma$$) $$^{114}$$In$$^{m1+m2}$$反応は8.53$$pm$$0.27 barn。ScとZnの結果は、これまでに報告されている評価値を誤差範囲で支持するが、一方、他の核種については評価値と異なる結果となった。得られた結果は、生成量評価にはもちろん、これらの核種を中性束モニタとして利用する場合に用いることが考えられる。

Measurements of $$gamma$$-ray circular polarization emitted from neutron capture reactions provide valuable information for nuclear physics studies. The spin and parity of excited states can be determined by measuring the circular polarization from polarized neutron capture reactions. Furthermore, the $$gamma$$-ray circular polarization in a neutron capture resonance is crucial for studying the enhancement effect of parity nonconservation in compound nuclei. The $$gamma$$-ray circular polarization can be measured using a polarimeter based on magnetic Compton scattering. A polarimeter was constructed, and its performance indicators were evaluated using a circularly polarized $$gamma$$-ray beam. Furthermore, as a demonstration, the $$gamma$$-ray circular polarization was measured in $$^{32}$$S(n,$$gamma$$)$$^{33}$$S reactions with polarized neutrons.

Neutron capture cross section measurement of $$^{129}$$I and $$^{127}$$I using the NaI(Tl) spectrometer of the ANNRI beamline at J-PARC

The neutron capture cross section of $$^{129}$$I and $$^{127}$$I were measured from the thermal to the keV energy region with the NaI(Tl) spectrometer of the Accurate Neutron-Nucleus Reaction Measurement Instrument beamline in the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. The neutron capture yield was determined by means of the total energy detection principle with the pulse-height weighting technique. The present cross section results for $$^{127}$$I were normalized using the saturated resonance method with a thick-enough $$^{197}$$Au and provide good agreement with JENDL-5 from thermal to about 500 keV. A resonance analysis with the REFIT code was performed and the resonance parameters for $$^{127}$$I below 310 eV are presented in this work. In the case of $$^{129}$$I, the three largest resonances of $$^{127}$$I were employed for the cross section normalization. The present results for $$^{129}$$I are the first experimental data for the neutron region between thermal and 20 eV. The present data display a different energy dependence than that in the JENDL-5 and JEFF-3.3 and much similar to that in ENDF/B-VIII.0. Notwithstanding, good agreement was found at the thermal region between the present measurement of 31.6 $$pm$$ 1.3 b and both evaluated and most experimental data.

Total and double differential scattering cross-section measurements of isotropic graphite

木村 敦; 遠藤 駿典; 中村 詔司

The total and double differential scattering cross sections (DDSCS) of graphite have been measured in the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) in the J-PARC. The DDSCS were measured using the Beam Line No.14 (AMATERAS) in the MLF. The data were normalized using those of vanadium as a standard. Small angle scattering and Bragg edges were observed, and their intensities varied among the samples. The neutron total cross sections in the energy region from 1 to 100 meV were measured using Beam Line No.04 (ANNRI) in the MLF. In the epithermal range (over 40 meV), all samples tended to have values close to the free atom cross-section of graphite. However, at the first Bragg edge, the deduced total cross sections by those samples started to separate from each other. The difference became more significant with decreasing the neutron energy, and the value tended to increase with the grain size of the sample. The results of these measurements suggest that the discrepancies between the derived total cross sections in the low-energy region are due to small-angle scattering caused by grains of graphite with uniform size.

The neutron capture cross-section of $$^{241}$$Am was measured from 10 meV to about 1 MeV using the NaI(Tl) spectrometer of the Accurate Neutron-Nucleus Reaction Measurement Instrument (ANNRI) beamline in the Materials and Life Science (MLF) facility of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). The total energy detection principle was applied in conjunction with the pulse-height weighting technique to derive the neutron capture yield. The present cross-section results were normalized using a $$^{197}$$Au sample measurement by applying the saturated resonance method. The thermal cross section was measured to be 708 $$pm$$ 22 b, in agreement within uncertainties to the present evaluation in JENDL-5 of 709 b. Moreover, the results of a shape resonance analysis of the resolved resonance region are also provided in the present dissertation.

The neutron transmission ratio and capture yield for $$^{181}$$Ta were measured in J-PARC MLF ANNRI to improve the accuracy of resonance parameters. The total cross section was determined from the transmission ratio in the energy range from 0.2 to 150 eV. The capture cross section was obtained from the capture yield using the pulse height weighting technique (PHWT) in the energy range from thermal to 150 eV. The obtained transmission ratio and capture cross-section were fitted by the resonance analysis code, REFIT, and the resonance parameters were determined below 150 eV. It was also discussed the correlations caused by fitting based on statistical uncertainty and correlations for systematic uncertainty based on sample thickness in the transmission measurements.

Measurements to measure the neutron capture cross section of $$^{129}$$I and $$^{127}$$I were performed in the Accurate Neutron Nucleus Reaction Measurement Instrument (ANNRI) at the Materials and Life Science Facility (MLF) of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). The time-of-flight (TOF) methodology was employed to determine the neutron capture cross section from thermal to about 100 keV. The results from $$^{127}$$I were used to normalize the $$^{129}$$I cross section. Preliminary results of a resonance analysis below 100 eV for $$^{129}$$I are also presented.

As nuclear facilities are dismantled in decommissioning, large amount of various waste is generated. Even more inconveniently, waste is radioactive due to neutron activation. Thus, the neutron capture cross-sections of nuclides targeted in decommissioning are required to evaluate the radioactivity produced. In this work, $$^{58}$$Fe nuclide was selected among objective nuclides for decommissioning, and its thermal-neutron capture cross-section was measured by a neutron activation method at the graphite thermal column of Kyoto University Research Reactor in 5-MW operation. The thermal-neutron capture cross-section was derived using ${it Westcott'}$s convention. The present work obtained 1.36$$pm$$0.03 barns for the $$^{58}$$Fe(n,$$gamma$$)$$^{59}$$Fe reaction. The present result supports the JENDL-5 evaluation within 2$$sigma$$. If updated with currently recommended nuclear data, some of the reported past data would support the present result.

ランタン(La)-139の断面積と共鳴パラメータは、原子力分野への応用や基礎核物理の研究にとって重要である。本論文では、大強度陽子加速器施設(J-PARC)のANNRIにてLaの中性子全断面積と捕獲断面積を測定した。Negative共鳴を含む4つの共鳴の共鳴パラメータを、共鳴解析コードREFITを用いて求めた。その結果いくつかの共鳴パラメータにおいて、評価済み核データライブラリとの不一致が見られた。さらに全断面積を再現するために、スピン依存する散乱半径もフィットした。得られた散乱半径は、評価済み核データライブラリで記録されたものよりも大きいことがわかった。

近年、鉛冷却高速炉や加速器駆動システムの研究が進められており、Pb同位体の中性子捕獲断面積の高精度化が求められている。$$^{204}$$Pbは、天然存在比は小さいが中性子捕獲反応により長寿命放射性核種$$^{205}$$Pb(1730万年)を作るため、その重要性は高いと考えられる。しかし、原子炉を用いた通常の放射化法では、生成する$$^{205}$$Pbからの放射線が弱いため測定するのが難しい。そこで、マススペクトロメトリーを適用した断面積測定を行った。本発表ではマススペクトロメトリーを適用した$$^{204}$$Pbの中性子捕獲断面積測定について実験の詳細と得られた結果を報告する。

The accuracy of the prompt $$gamma$$-ray analysis is known to degrade for the samples containing neutron-scattering materials, such as hydrogen, depending on its content. Recently, we discovered that the density of the scattering materials also affects the accuracy. In this paper, we developed a correction method for the effect of the sample densities. The developed correction method is straightforward and applicable to samples with unknown densities. The simulation and experiments verified the performance of the correction method. The results confirmed that the correction method could reduce the uncertainty due to sample density from 47% to approximately 1%.

本研究は、廃止措置で問題になる放射性核種の放射能生成量を評価するのに資する中性子捕獲断面積に関するものである。京都大学複合原子力研究所の研究炉KURのTC-Pn照射設備を用いて、廃止措置で問題になる対象核種の中から$$^{45}$$Sc, $$^{63}$$Cu, $$^{64}$$Zn, $$^{109}$$Ag, $$^{113}$$In及び$$^{186}$$Wを選定して、それらの熱中性子捕獲断面積を測定した。測定試料には、高純度の金属試料を用意した。中性子束をモニタするために、Au/Al合金線, Co箔及びMo箔を用いた。モニタ及び金属試料を、KURが1MW運転時に、TC-Pnにて1時間照射した。照射後、照射カプセルを開封し、モニタと金属試料を回収し、それらを一つ一つビニル袋に密封した。そして高純度Ge検出器を用いて、金属試料から放出されるガンマ線を計測して、ガンマ線の収量から反応率を求めた。中性子束モニタ($$^{197}$$Au, $$^{59}$$Coと$$^{98}$$Mo)の反応率を、Westcottのコンベンションに基づいて解析し、熱中性子束成分を(5.92$$pm$$0.10)$$times$$10$$^{10}$$ n/cm$$^{2}$$/secと測定した。各々の金属試料について得られた反応率を評価済みの熱中性子断面積で除した時、用いた断面積が妥当であれば、モニタで得られる熱中性子束と同じ値を与えなければならない。今回、$$^{45}$$Sc, $$^{64}$$Znの断面積は、不確かさの範囲で評価値と一致した。しかし、その他の核種については不確かさ以上に評価値と食い違いがあり、熱中性子捕獲断面積の値は修正されなければならないことが分かった。

Neutron total and capture cross-section measurements of $$^{155}$$Gd and $$^{157}$$Gd were performed in the ANNRI at the MLF of the J-PARC. The neutron total cross sections were determined in the energy region from 5 to 100 meV. At the thermal neutron energy, the total cross sections were obtained to be 59.4$$pm$$1.7 and 251.9$$pm$$4.6 kilobarn for $$^{155}$$Gd and $$^{157}$$Gd, respectively. The neutron capture cross sections were determined in the energy region from 3.5 to 100 meV with an innovative method by taking the ratio of the detected capture event rate between thin and thick samples. At the thermal energy, the capture cross sections were obtained as 59.0$$pm$$2.5 and 247.4$$pm$$3.9 kilobarn for $$^{155}$$Gd and $$^{157}$$Gd, respectively. The present total and capture cross sections agree well within the standard deviations. The results for $$^{155}$$Gd were found to be consistent with the values in JENDL-4.0 and the experimental data given by Mastromarco et al. and Leinweber et al. within one standard deviation. Moreover, the present results for $$^{157}$$Gd agreed with the evaluated data in JENDL-4.0 and the experimental data by M${o}$ller et al. within one standard deviation and agreed with the data by Mastromarco et al. within 1.4 standard deviations. However, they disagree (11% larger) with the experimental result by Leinweber et al.

We investigated the angular correlation of two $$gamma$$-rays emitted in neutron capture at the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility of J-PARC. The 14 Ge crystals in a cluster detector and one coaxial Ge crystal were employed. We obtained angular correlation functions for two $$gamma$$-rays emerging in the electromagnetic transitions of the capture reactions on $$^{155}$$Gd and $$^{157}$$Gd. We found mild angular correlations for the strong, but rare transitions from the resonance state to two excited levels with known spin and parities. In contrast, angular correlations was negligibly small for arbitrary pairs of two $$gamma$$-rays produced in the majority of transitions in continuum states.

Japanese Evaluated Nuclear Data Library version 5 (JENDL-5) was released in 2021. JENDL-5 is intended to extend its generality from JENDL-4.0 by covering a wide variety of nuclear data for applications not only to nuclear design and decommissioning, but also to radiation-related fields. Overview of JENDL-5 and a future plan for the next of JENDL-5 are presented. JENDL-5 includes up-to-date neutron reaction cross sections incorporating other various types of data such as newly evaluated nuclear decay, fission yield, and thermal neutron scattering law. The neutron induced reaction cross sections especially on minor actinides in the resonance regions are improved by the experimental data measured at ANNRI. The extensive benchmark analyses on neutron nuclear data were made and the performance of JENDL-5 was confirmed by benchmark tests of ICSBEP and IRPhEP as well as fast reactors, radiation shielding calculations, and so on. So far, several JENDL special-purpose files have been developed for various applications. The data cover neutron, charged particles, and photon induced reactions. As the neutron induced reaction files, two special purpose files of JENDL/AD-2017 and JENDL/ImPACT-2018 were released to meet needs of nuclear backend applications including activation evaluation for nuclear facilities and nuclear transmutations of high-level radioactive wastes of long-lived fission products, respectively. Furthermore, the photon, proton and deuteron data were released as JENDL/PD-2016.1, JENDL-4.0/HE and JENDL/DEU-2020, respectively, for accelerator applications. With updating the data, they were incorporated in JENDL-5 as sub-libraries for facilitation of usability of JENDL. As the next step of JENDL-5, provision of the proper and sufficient covariance will be a major challenge, where cross correlations across different reactions or data-types may play a significant role in connection with data assimilation for various applications.

The neutron capture cross-section of $$^{241}$$Am was measured in the keV neutron range using the recently implemented neutron filtering system of the Accurate Neutron-Nucleus Reaction Measurement Instrument (ANNRI) beamline in the Materials and Life Science (MLF) facility of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). Filter arrays consisting of 20 cm of $$^{nat}$$Fe and $$^{nat}$$Si were employed in separate measurements to provide filtered neutron beams with averaged neutron energies of 23.5 (Fe), 51.5 and 127.7 (Si) keV. The present $$^{241}$$Am results were obtained relative to the $$^{197}$$Au neutron capture yield by applying the total energy detection principle together with the pulse-height weighting technique. The $$^{241}$$Am neutron capture cross section was determined as 2.72 $$pm$$ 0.29 b at 23.5 keV, 2.14 $$pm$$ 0.26 b at 51.5 keV and 1.32 $$pm$$ 0.10 b at 127.7 keV with total uncertainties in the range of 8 to 12$$%$$, much lower in comparison to the latest time-of-flight experimental data available.

Covariance of resonance parameters ascribed to systematic uncertainties in experiments

In resonance analysis, experimental uncertainties affect the accuracy of resonance parameters. A resonance analysis code REFIT can consider the statistical uncertainty of the experimental data in evaluation of the resonance parameter uncertainty. On the other hand, since the systematic uncertainties of the sample thickness and normalization, which is proportional to the cross-section, are not independent at each measurement point, they must be treated differently from the statistical uncertainty. However, their treatment has not been discussed in detail so far. In this study, we evaluated the effect of the systematic uncertainties of experimental data on deduced resonance parameters by varying sample-thickness values used for the REFIT code. Covariance of resonance parameters ascribed to systematic uncertainties were evaluated from the neutron transmission data of natural zinc measured at the J-PARC MLF ANNRI. We will introduce this evaluation method and discuss the feature of obtained correlations.

Long-lived minor actinides (MA) in nuclear waste from nuclear power plants are a long-standing issue to continue nuclear energy production. To solve the issue, researchers have suggested nuclear transmutation, in which long-lived radionuclides are transmuted into stable or shorter-life nuclides via neutron-induced nuclear reactions. Development of nuclear transmutation systems as an accelerator-driven system requires accurate neutron nuclear reaction data. The present research project entitled "Study on accuracy improvement of fast-neutron capture reaction data of long-lived MAs for development of nuclear transmutation systems" have been conducted as a joint collaboration, including Tokyo Tech, Japan Atomic Energy Agency and Kyoto University. This project focuses on the neutron capture reaction of MAs, especially $$^{237}$$Np, $$^{241}$$Am and $$^{243}$$Am, in the fast neutron energy region. The final goal of this project is to improve the accuracies of the neutron capture cross sections of $$^{237}$$Np, $$^{241}$$Am and $$^{243}$$Am employing a high-intensity neutron beam from a spallation source of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) that reduces uncertainties of measurement. To achieve the goal, a neutron beam filter system in J-PARC, sample characteristic assay, and theoretical reaction model study were developed. In this contribution, the overview and results of the project will be presented.
