Measurements of 
-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 -ray circular polarization in a neutron capture resonance is crucial for studying the enhancement effect of parity nonconservation in compound nuclei. The -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 -ray beam. Furthermore, as a demonstration, the -ray circular polarization was measured in 
S(n,)
S reactions with polarized neutrons.

The neutron capture cross section of I and 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 I were normalized using the saturated resonance method with a thick-enough 
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 I below 310 eV are presented in this work. In the case of I, the three largest resonances of I were employed for the cross section normalization. The present results for 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 
1.3 b and both evaluated and most experimental data.

溶融塩炉などの革新型原子炉の減速材として黒鉛の利用が考えられている。減速材による熱中性子の散乱は炉心設計に大きな影響を与える。革新型原子炉の開発に貢献するため、原子炉級黒鉛の熱中性子散乱則の評価を行った。格子振動に起因する非弾性散乱成分は、第一原理シミュレーションから求めたフォノン状態密度に基づいて評価した。シミュレーションは理想的な結晶黒鉛に対して行った。結晶構造に起因する干渉性弾性散乱成分は、J-PARC/MLF施設で実施された中性子透過実験および散乱実験に基づいて評価した。中性子透過実験との比較においては、空孔などの結晶よりも大きな構造に起因する中性子小角散乱の定量が重要であることがわかった。以上の方法に基づいて、原子炉級黒鉛の熱中性子散乱則データを評価した。

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.

The 
Pu neutron-induced fission cross section was evaluated from 100 keV to 200 MeV. The experimental Pu and 
U fission cross sections and their ratios in the EXFOR library were reviewed and analysed by the least-squares method. Additional simultaneous evaluation was performed by including the experimental database of the 
U and 
Pu fission cross sections and their ratios developed for JENDL-5 evaluation. The evaluated Pu fission cross section was verified against the cross section measured in the californium-252 spontaneous fission neutron field and criticalities of small-sized LANL fast systems. The newly evaluated fission cross section is systematically lower than the JENDL-4.0 cross section and demonstrates better performance.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：48.47(Nuclear Science & Technology)Neutron total and capture cross-section measurements of Gd and 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 59.41.7 and 251.94.6 kilobarn for Gd and 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 59.02.5 and 247.43.9 kilobarn for Gd and Gd, respectively. The present total and capture cross sections agree well within the standard deviations. The results for 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 Gd agreed with the evaluated data in JENDL-4.0 and the experimental data by M
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.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：96.52(Nuclear Science & Technology)The fast neutron fission cross sections of 
U and Pu were evaluated for the JENDL-5 library up to 200 MeV. The experimental fission cross sections and their ratios in the EXFOR library were reviewed with the source articles. Additionally, Poenitz's data compiled in his GMA database were reviewed. We found about 
0 datasets are archived with the uncertainty information sufficient for covariance matrix construction and converted them from EXFOR to an experimental database with their covariance matrices. When the uncertainty information in the source article is missing in the EXFOR entry, we updated the EXFOR entry. We minimized corrections to the experimental database to make our evaluation becomes traceable. The least-squares fitting was performed to the logarithms of the cross sections and their rations in the experimental database by using the simultaneous least-squares fitting code SOK. The best precisions of the group-wise cross sections were achieved around 2 to 3 MeV, where the external uncertainties are 1% (
U), 1.5% (
U, 
Pu) or 2.5% (Pu). Well documented experimental fission cross sections are desired for U between 100 and 300 keV and Pu in the whole energy range since the numbers of the usable experimental datasets are limited and it makes the uncertainties in our evaluation relatively high. The evaluated cross sections were also validated against the spectrum averaged fission cross sections measured under the 
Cf and 
- neutron fields, and we found the newly evaluated cross sections are consistent with the experimental spectrum averaged cross sections well except for 
U fission cross sections measured in the Cf neutron fields, which is underestimated by the newly evaluated cross sections as well as those in many other data libraries.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.21(Nuclear Science & Technology)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.

Recently, this nature attracts attention again in electronics, because it is argued that charged particle emissions following muon capture on silicon triggers non-negligible soft errors in semiconductors. To investigate the particle emissions from nuclear physics point of view, we develop a new approach using a microscopic model of muon capture and an up-to-date particle emission models. We paid attention to the muon capture rates, the particle emission spectra, and the multiplicities that have a close interrelation with each other, and found that the nuclear many-body correlation including two-particle two-hole excitations is a key to explain them simultaneously.

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 
Np, Am and 
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 Np, Am and 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.

Evaluation of covariance data for JENDL virtually started after the release of JENDL-3.2. Covariance data were estimated for 16 nuclides in JENDL-3.2 and compiled as JENDL-3.2 Covariance File. For JENDL-4.0, covariance evaluation was much enhanced especially for actinides; the number of nuclides with covariance was 99. With the new evaluations for light nuclides and structure materials, the latest version JENDL-5 provides covariance data for 105 nuclides. The covariances in JENDL were basically evaluated with the least square method with available experimental data. Basic methods were developed at the time of JENDL-3.2 covariance evaluation. While the nuclear reaction modeling codes were changed from the JENDL-3.2 evaluation to the JENDL-4.0 or JENDL-5 evaluations, the covariance evaluation code has been continuously used for all of them. Overview of the covariance evaluation for JENDL will be presented.
