Mass-angle distribution (MAD) measurement of heavy and superheavy element fragmentation reactions is one of the powerful tools for investigating the mechanism of fission and fusion process. MAD shows a strong correlation between mass and angle when the quasi-fission event is dominant. It has characteristic that appears diagonal correlation as long as the quasi-fission event is dominant. This...

It has been shown that fission has multiple modes, characterized by mass asymmetric fission and mass symmetric fission[1]. In neutron-rich heavy element region,it is argued that several fission modes coexist, with a significant change of their yields in accordance with the number of neutrons contained in the fissionig nucleus. A typical example is found in the isotope dependence of fission for...

We require reliable nuclear data that can appropriately evaluate the radiation characteristics of fuel debris for the purpose such as development of new sensors, non-destructive assay technologies and optimization of radiation shielding. In the past, even if different results were obtained depending on calculation codes, it was difficult to clarify what caused the differences. To overcome it,...

Through joint research by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) and Kindai University, it has become clear that the yield distribution of fission products (fission fragments) changes significantly depending on the neutrons emitted from the compound nucleus. In the so-called multichance fission (MCF) concept, fission takes place after emitting several neutrons. This revives the shell structure...

Nuclear fission plays an essential role in nucleosynthesis by the rapid-neutron-capture process (r-process), which is a cosmic origin of heavy elements beyond iron. For very neutron-rich environments in neutron star mergers, the strong r-process can be achieved, and the nucleosynthesis path goes into the trans-uranium region. In such conditions, fission is important to shape the r-process...

Inelastic scattering is useful tool to explore the nuclear structure in the excited states. In particular, the inelastic excitation to the continuum energy states above the particle decay threshold, which is often called breakup reaction, is very important because we can pin down a specific nuclear structure by controlling the exit channels, which are the combination of the emitted fragments....

To predict the operating lifetime of materials in high-energy radiation environments at accelerator facilities, Monte Carlo codes such as PHITS, MARS, and FLUKA are used to calculate the number of displacements per atom (dpa) related to the number of Frenkel pairs. The Norgertt–Robinson–Torrens (NRT) model has been widely used to predict the number of “initial” Frenkel pairs (NRT-dpa). For...

Highly precise neutron nuclear data is required in nuclear transmutation research of long-lived minor actinides (MA) in nuclear waste. In neutron capture cross section measurement, monitoring the number of the incident neutrons is necessary. However, in measurement with J-PARC/ANNRI, direct neutron monitoring system has not been employed. To make measurement with ANNRI more robust, an...

BNCT is a promising cancer therapy which kills tumor cells while suppressing exposure dose to normal tissues. Normally, the neutron field of BNCT, which is produced by a nuclear reactor or an accelerator-based neutron source, has an energy distribution spreading within thermal, epi-thermal and fast neutron regions. Because epi-thermal neutrons are generally used for BNCT, we must measure the...

The double differential cross-section (DDX) of the photoneutron is an important quantity for radiation shielding and shielding calculation of the electron accelerator design. Shielding calculation is usually carried out by Monte Carlo simulation codes, which use the nuclear data library in the calculation. We measured the DDXs of the $\rm(\gamma,xn)$ reaction using 16.6 MeV polarized photon on...

<span> The elastic scattering reaction cross section data commonly show smaller in backward angles compared to those of forward angles when the energy of the incident neutron is high. However, in high neutron flux field, such as fusion reactor, the back-scattering reaction cross section is becoming not negligible on the calculation result. Until now, there were differences reported between...

A long-lived isotope of Hf, 175Hf (T1/2 = 70 d), is useful for basic studies for rutherfordium (Rf, Z = 104). This isotope is producible in no-carrier-added form in the proton- and deuteron-induced reactions on natLu. However, excitation functions of these nuclear reactions have been scarcely studied. In this work, we measured the excitation functions of the natLu(p,xn)175Hf and...

Quantification of radioactivity of fission products (FP) is very important for assessment of decay heat after shutdown of a core, etc. For such assessments, comprehensive data sets of fission yield and decay chain, such as JENDL/FPY&FPD-2011, have been developed. However, validation of each nuclide in such data sets has still been cumbersome. In this work, two detection techniques of FPs are...
