A second-harmonic buncher has been constructed and installed on the injection beam line of the RIKEN variable-frequency heavy-ion linac (RILAC) to increase beam intensity. It has a good impedance matching to power feed line without adjusting device in the required wide frequency range. Beam intensity was increased by 50% with both the fundamental-frequency and the second-harmonic bunchers. Its structure, rf characteristics and beam test are described. (author)

The collaborative research using the 160 cm cyclotron and the variable frequency, heavy ion linear accelerator (RILAC) has been extensively performed in this year. In addition, an electrostatic accelerator (TANDETRON) of IMV and an ion implanter of 250 kV were dedicated to the collaborative research. During the past one year, the cyclotron was in good condition, and a new gas feed system was developed as the cyclotron ion source. The operation of the RILAC in a full 17 - 45 MHz range was realized. The TANDETRON has been steadily operated. The nuclear spectroscopy and reaction mechanism for heavy ion collision were studied. Instrument development was continued for the purpose of building the new experimental equipment for SSC. Experiments were carried out on the beam foil spectroscopy and atomic collision measuring ultra-violet ray, x-ray, Auger electrons and recoil ions. Moessbauer spectroscopy and perturbed angular correlation studies were continued. The creep and helium bubble formation in fusion reactor materials by bombarding with alpha particles and protons were studied in cooperation with the National Research Institute for Metals. The construction of the Riken Ring Cyclotron progressed. (Kako, I.)

The goal is to establish in-beam K-X-ray spectroscopy as a sensitive tool to identify super heavy elements (SHEs) produced in fusion reactions via their proton number. SHEs, formed after cold or hot fusion, are usually identified via the alpha-decay products, which have to be connected to well-known elements. In case of hot fusion, the daughter nuclei quickly undergo spontaneous fission, so that the identification of the produced SHEs is difficult. Using the hot fusion approach in our first test experiments, the resultant products will be analysed by the gas-filled GARIS separator at the RILAC facility at RIKEN. As the X-ray detector is required to have superior energy and timing resolution to best identify the rare events at highest masses and to supress random coincidences as sufficient as possible, we chose a thin and planar geometry, which also reduces the damage caused by fast neutrons. We show first measurements using the MINIBALL Ge array at Munich. Additionally we report on our feasibility studies and on first tests using the new detector at high count rates together with a powerful DAQ system and transistor reset preamplifiers.

The characterization of accelerator for application in biotechnology was studied. Accelerator is a machine to produce ion beam particles. Accelerator can be used for biotechnology experiments. Ion beam particles irradiation on the biological material will produced variabilities of genetics and induced mutations. In general, new varieties were found by hybridization method or mutation breeding method by gamma rays irradiation. Ion beam particles can be used for biological material irradiation to find variabilities of genetics and induced mutations. The high percentage of mutation rate and LET value by ion beam particles irradiation was found higher than by gamma rays irradiation. Ion beam particle irradiation can also be controlled and foewed to target in biological material. The characterization of accelerator needed for biotechnology experiments are types of accelerator (Tandem Van de Graff, AVF Cyclotron, Synchrotron, Rilac), types of ion particles (C, He, electron, Ar, Ne, Ni, Al, Xe and Au), range of energy (5 - 2.090 MeV), range of dose irradiation (10 - 250 Gy), range of ion current (0.02 - 20 nA), range of ion beam particles diameter (10 - 100 μm), range of LET value (300 - 1.800 keV/μm ) and irradiation time (5 - 30 seconds/samples).
