[Overview] by Shoji
NAGAMIYA<BR>-----------------------------------------------------------<BR> <BR> LOGDING
WILL BE CONSTRUCTED BY KEK<BR> <BR> For a long
time, we have requested "lodging" for users. Very<BR>recently KEK decided to
construct 52 rooms for users on the site of <BR>the Ibaraki Quantum Beam
Research Center, where the Users Office <BR>and office space for users are
currently located. The anticipated<BR>completion of this lodging will be
sometime near the end of 2010 or,<BR>at the latest, the beginning of 2011. We
have also requested <BR>construction of a hotel by Tokai Village. We were told
that the effort <BR>to construct a new hotel will still continue, even if the
lodging is <BR>constructed by KEK.<BR> <BR> OPEN HOUSE FOR
J-PARC<BR> <BR> On August 1 we had an open house
for J-PARC. This year, the<BR>open house was hosted by both J-PARC and Tokai
Research Center.<BR>We had 4600 visitors among which 3700 were J-PARC visitors.
Last<BR>year we had 2600 visitors for the J-PARC, so the number
increased<BR>substantially this year. We shall have an open house once a
year<BR>in coming years.<BR> <BR> ACCELERATOR REVIEW WAS
CONDUCTED<BR> <BR> On July 29 an accelerator review
was conducted (chair is<BR>Professor Oide from KEK). This time, the main
purposes of the<BR>review are on 1) technical feasibility of approaching 1 MW,
2)<BR>financial constraints to achieve it, and 3) the best strategy for<BR>the
future. Based on this review, the next stage is to discuss with<BR>the user
communities if the current strategy presented by the<BR>accelerator group is
agreeable to the communities. I will<BR>report the results of these discussions
in the next issue of<BR>the Newsletter.<BR> <BR> FEE FOR PROPRIETARY
EXPERIMENTS<BR> <BR> Since last December the beam
time has been open for neutron<BR>users. Recently, an industrial usage started
to come, though<BR>we have not yet settled how much the actual charge is
for<BR>proprietary experiments without any publications. The
Government<BR>started to agree with the fee which is comparable to
SPring-8.<BR>For any work for which the results are published, the beam
time<BR>charge is free at J-PARC.</FONT></DIV>

ANDO<BR>-------------------------------------------------------------<BR> <BR> BEAM
COMMISSIONING RESTARTED WITH STEADY IMPROVEMENT<BR>OF RFQ (RADIO-FREQUENCY
QUADRUPOLE) LINAC<BR> <BR> Beam Commissioning
restarted on October 1 after the summer<BR>shutdown for the maintenance of the
accelerators and the improvement<BR>of the RFQ linac. In the improvement, two
cryopumps of 4000 L/s each<BR>and two SIP's (Sputtering Ion Pumps) of 800 and
400 L/s were added<BR>to the existing evacuation-pumping system, and a mass
separator to <BR>obtain clear information of outgassing was installed. An
additional TMP <BR>(Turbo Molecular Pump) of 500 L/s was also installed in the
LEBT (Low <BR>Energy Beam Transport between the ion source and the RFQ), which
was<BR>replaced by a new one with orifices at both ends to reduce
the<BR>unnecessary flow of H- ions and hydrogen. The operation of RCS
(3-GeV<BR>Rapid Cycling Synchrotron) has been restarted with the LINAC beam at
<BR>first of 5 mA in peak current and 0.1 msec pulse width to ensure the
<BR>stable beam output of 20 kW from RCS in October. In the next stage,<BR>the
pulse width will be expanded to 0.5 msec for 100 kW of RCS, and<BR>then the peak
current will be raised to 15 mA for 300 kW of RCS.<BR>The demonstrated operation
with the RCS beam output of 200 kW in<BR>70 seconds and equivalent 310 kW in one
shot in September 2008 will<BR>be routine if there are no troubles in hardware
and the beam loss<BR>issues are solved.<BR> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> THE IMPREGNATED RESIN IS THE MAIN REASON FOR BUCKLING OF<BR>MA
(MAGNETIC ALLOY) CORE FOR RF CAVITIES<BR> <BR>
Buckling or stress deformation has been found in many MA cores<BR>for the RF
cavities of RCS as reported in Newsletter #36.<BR>Investigation for the
correlation between the damaged cores and their<BR>manufacturing processes
clarifies that the existence of the impregnated<BR>resin, of which the
coefficient of linear expansion is larger than that<BR>of the MA alloy by about
8 times, prevents any room for expansion of<BR>MA alloy ribbons. Although the
impregnation of the resin with light <BR>viscosity was adopted in R&D to
make a core more rigid, the original <BR>process without impregnation is
re-adopted to restore only the <BR>original purpose.<BR> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> THE REPETITION CYCLE TIME OF MR (50-GeV Synchrotron) WAS<BR>SHORTENED
TO 3.52 SEC<BR> <BR> As the improvement of the
power supplies for the main magnets<BR>(bending and quadrupole magnets) resulted
in the shorter rise and fall<BR>time (still not enough for the design values),
the cycle time of MR is<BR>shortened to 3.52 sec for the FX mode (Fast
Extraction for the neutrino<BR>target). MR is operated in the two modes of FX
and SX (Slow Extraction<BR>for the hadron target) from October. In the SX mode,
the cycle time<BR>is still 6 sec with the 30-GeV flat-top of 2 ~ 3 sec; enough
for favorite<BR>beam manipulation or gymnastics.</DIV>

TSUKAMOTO<BR>-----------------------------------------------------------<BR> <BR> BEAMLINE
AND DETECTOR INSTALLATION IS MAKING<BR>PROGRESS IN THE HADRON
HALL<BR> <BR> Preceding the further commissioning
of the accelerator MR and<BR>the eventual slow beam delivery to the Hadron Hall
in this autumn,<BR>the installation of beamlines is making progress. Following
the<BR>completion of K1.8BR in January 2009, the K1.8 beamline will
be<BR>completed soon as the extension of K1.8BR. K1.8 delivers<BR>separated
charged meson beams up to 2.0 GeV/c, at which primarily<BR>hypernuclear
spectroscopy will be performed. In particular,<BR>the study of the double
strangeness system will be a topic in Day-1<BR>experiments. The beamline has
already been tested for all<BR>the magnets and equipped with a second
electrostatic separator<BR>in the extended section. In the experimental area the
high-resolution<BR>Superconducting Kaon Spectrometer (SKS) is now being set
up.<BR>The magnet had already been moved from KEK-PS with some<BR>modifications
in the cryogenic system. The magnet has been <BR>successfully cooled down and
excited. Detector mounting is <BR>also ongoing by the user
group.<BR> <BR> On the other side of the primary
beamline, the construction of<BR>the neutral kaon line KL has been also
finished. The beamline<BR>consists of two sets of movable collimators and a
sweeping magnet <BR>between them and should deliver a K_L beam with very
suppressed<BR>halo-neutron background. The E14 KOTO experiment (the rare
decay<BR>experiment KL-> pi0nu nu-bar) will be performed with
an<BR>international collaboration. In this autumn, the beam survey<BR>is
scheduled, in terms of the K_L yield measurement as well as<BR>the beam quality
study.<BR> <BR> STATUS OF NEUTRINO
FACILITY<BR> <BR> The primary proton beam line of
the neutrino facility has four <BR>types of proton beam monitors, namely
intensity, position, profile and <BR>beam loss monitors. Five CTs (Current
Transformers) are installed as<BR>intensity monitors. 2% precision was achieved
in the previous<BR>commissioning. Twenty one ESMs (ElectroStatic Monitors) are
installed<BR>to measure beam position. Present typical resolution is 0.6 mm
and<BR>we are working to improve the resolution by understanding the
<BR>background to the signal. Nineteen SSEMs (Segmented Secondary <BR>Emission
monitors) are installed as profile monitors. Obtained resolution <BR>is 0.2 mm
for position and width. Fifty BLMs (Beam Loss Monitors) are <BR>placed around
the beam line. No significant beam loss was observed in <BR>the previous
commissioning except for beam loss from foils of the <BR>SSEMs. This indicates
that the total beam loss was less than 0.1 <BR>percent. In the summer shutdown,
ESM and SSEM re-alignment work <BR>was carried out and software was upgraded to
deal with multi-bunch <BR>beam in addition to analysis of obtained data. Now we
are ready for <BR>beam commissioning from
October.<BR> <BR> For the beam run with higher beam
power in Autumn, the second<BR>and third horns were installed into the Helium
vessel on July 10th<BR>and August 6th, respectively. Then, simultaneous test
operation with<BR>1st, 2nd and 3rd horns successfully finished in September. The
helium<BR>vessel is now under an evacuation test, and will be filled with
1500m3<BR>of helium gas soon. The Autumn beam run will start after the final
<BR>test operation of horns in He gas.<BR> <BR> The
installation work of the T2K near detectors is ongoing<BR>at the NM (Neutrino
Monitor) building. A neutrino beam monitor,<BR>INGRID (Interactive Neutrino GRID
detectors), was successfully<BR>installed in August. The commissioning and
calibration of INGRID is<BR>being carried out to be ready for the neutrino beam
in October.<BR>As a part of the off-axis neutrino detectors, the P0D(Pi-zero
<BR>Detector), the FGD (Fine Grained Detector), and the DSECAL <BR>(DownStream
Electromagnetic CALorimeter) were tested on surface <BR>and were installed in
the detector support structure, called BASKET.<BR>Two TPC (Time Projection
Chamber) modules will be shortly<BR>installed this October. The work of cabling
and piping is being<BR>carried out, and the commissioning of the detectors will
follow.<BR>The T2K off-axis neutrino detector is scheduled to be ready
for<BR>operation in December.</DIV>

IKEDA<BR>-----------------------------------------------------------<BR> <BR> A
100 KW OPERATION HAS STARTED ON NOV. 10, 2009</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> 1. Neutron Source<BR> In the summer
maintenance period, annual voluntary inspection<BR>of the cryogenic hydrogen
system was completed successfully.<BR>A vibration measuring system for the
hydrogen circulation pump<BR>was installed to evaluate abnormal pump rotating
conditions.<BR>Some remote-controlled cameras in the hot cell were
modified<BR>to move on rails for better visibility in replacement work<BR>of
activated components such as moderators.<BR> <BR>
The tunnel of the proton beam transport line was surveyed and<BR>the uneven
subsidence was found to be a maximum of 1 mm for the<BR>last year. The magnets
and the beam monitors were realigned<BR>in this summer shutdown period with the
accuracy better<BR>than 0.1 mm.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> The fabrication of the spare of target
vessel was continued<BR>to fix the safety hull on the mercury vessel. As for
R&D on the<BR>pressure wave mitigation, the micro-bubble distribution in
the<BR>target vessel was measured with a mercury loop at the Target<BR>Test
Facility (TTF) of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) under<BR>collaboration
with the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR> 2. Neutron Science<BR> Various
maintenance and improvements have been carried out in <BR>twelve BL's during the
Summer shutdown. A large vacuum tank with a <BR>volume of 50 m3 (the weight of
40t) for the High Resolution Chopper <BR>Spectrometer (HRC) was installed at
BL12. A small vacuum tank and <BR>six gas-filled tanks with a total volume of 20
m3 for the super high <BR>resolution powder diffractometer (SuperHRPD) was
installed at BL08 <BR>after the removal of the second-hand chamber. The
installation of <BR>3He detectors for both BL08 and BL12 are now
underway.<BR> <BR> Disk choppers maintenance and
the confirmation of the guide tube<BR>alignment were carried out in the
Disk-Chopper Spectrometer<BR>(AMATERAS) at BL14, and in the Engineering
diffractometer (Takumi)<BR>at BL19. Maintenance of detectors and electronics
etc. were carried<BR>out in most of the
BL's.<BR> <BR> User operation for the 2009A period
(the first half of FY2009)<BR>has been re-started on Oct. 12. 105 accepted
experiments out of<BR>116 proposals will be carried out during the period of
2009A.<BR>The first result of the High Intensity Chopper
Spectrometer<BR>(4Seasons, BL01) utilizing the new technique of "the Multiple
Incident<BR>Energies" has been published and selected as the Editor's choice
of<BR>the Journal of the Physical Society of Japan (J. Phys. Soc. Jpn.
78<BR>(2009) 093002).<BR> <BR> 3. Neutron Optics and
Detectors<BR> A neutron focusing device consisting of a
spheroidal supermirror<BR>(m=2) has been developed by using an ion beam
sputtering instrument.<BR>Elliptical mirror optics, which have no chromatic
aberration, can be<BR>effectively used for manipulating a wide range of
wavelengths of<BR>neutrons especially at pulsed neutron sources. The performance
of<BR>this optical system can be increased by using a spheroidal
geometry<BR>which increases the aperture ratio, and by using supermirrors
which<BR>increase the critical angle of total reflection.<BR> <BR> 4.
Muon Science<BR> The designs of the muon production
target and the two sets of<BR>scrapers are such that they are both placed in one
large vacuum<BR>chamber in order to make remote handling simple during
maintenance<BR>work. Particular care was given to the means of mounting the
target,<BR>moving and inserting the target with the required precision, as
well<BR>as cooling, monitoring, and changing the target in the hot cell,
<BR>assuming that all of the work is intended to be done from the top of <BR>the
maintenance area. Also we fabricated a dedicated muon cask,<BR>together with a
stand to position it on top of the target chamber<BR>with good precision, for
the maintenance of the muon target assembly,<BR>the scraper assembly, and the
profile monitor assembly.<BR> <BR> During the
summer shutdown of 2009, we have had a commissioning<BR>test of exchanging the
irradiated muon target assembly having about<BR>50 mSv/h of dose on its surface.
The irradiated target assembly was<BR>lifted into the cask, and moved into the
hot cell. In the hot cell, the<BR>target assembly was successfully transferred
into the dedicated stand<BR>for the muon target assembly. After several
measurements such as<BR>dose and dimensions, the target assembly was put back
into the target<BR>chamber in the proton beam line.</DIV>

The first meeting of the expert group on Integral Experiments<BR>for Minor
Actinide Management was held in September at<BR>the headquarters of OECD/NEA.
This expert group was established<BR>by the Nuclear Science Committee to review
integral experiments <BR>for validating MA nuclear data critically, as well as
to recommend <BR>additional integral experiments needed for validating MA
nuclear <BR>data and to investigate the possibility of establishing an
international<BR>framework for facilitating integral experiments for MA
management.<BR>The Expert Group will complete and document their activities
within<BR>two years.</DIV>
