We are looking for a Post-doctoral fellow in new exciting project with large potential for development and the possibility to work with an interdisciplinary team of researcher and neutron instrument scientists and engineers. Please forward the information below to colleagues and potential candidates. All the best Tommy Post-doctoral fellow in neutron surface scattering The understanding of interfacial properties of materials, as well as interfacial processes in terms of structural, morphological and compositional changes, is of crucial importance in many scientific fields that include chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. In the evaluation of capability gaps in the initial instrument suite, the European Spallation Source (ESS) has identified a dedicated surface scattering beamline as a high priority as one of the next instruments (16-22). In Sweden, a broad consortium, building on the strength in surface and interface science, has formed to push for a Swedish led project to design and construct such an instrument at ESS. This project will deliver a competitive instrument proposal for a dedicated grazing-incidence small-angle scattering (GISANS) beamline, named SAGA. The design of the instrument is directly motivated by the science and business case developed in coordination with the international community and will take full advantage of the brilliance of ESS. The output of the project will be the instrument proposal for the next ESS call and a detailed plan for the implementation. The postdoctoral position will be placed at Lund University (Lund Institute of Advanced Neutron and X-ray Science (LINXS)), but the work involves close connections to project partners at Swedish universities and institutes with activities in neutron surface scattering as well as with the European Spallation Source, ESS. The project is funded by the Swedish Research Council.

The fellowship is funded by the European Union?s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sk?odowska-Curie grant agreement No 956248. About PICKFOOD Would you like to start your career in a European training network of leading research universities and professionals from the industry? Then you might be interested in this PhD position, which will enable you to join the PICKFOOD project. PICKFOOD is a top level interdisciplinary training and research programme involving 15 PhD positions across physics, physical chemistry and food science. PICKFOOD aims to create at European level a network of next generation young scientists trained in novel methodologies within Pickering emulsions research enabling the development of safe, healthy and functional foods and at the same time minimizing food waste due to lipid oxidation. About your project It is well known that small particles can get trapped at the interface between two fluids. This effect can be used to coat droplets with micro or nano-scale particles, and thereby stabilize emulsions without the use of surfactant molecules, known as Pickering emulsions. Together with 2 other Early Stage Researchers (to be recruited respectively by Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and Aalto University (AALTO)), you will contribute to the implementation of PICKFOOD Work package 3 which focuses on the formation mechanism of stable Pickering emulsions. Fabrication of new Pickering encapsulates covers development of new materials as well as their characterization not only by standard methods but also by methods not usually accessible by food laboratories including X-rays synchrotron and neutron scattering. The candidate will identify of food-grade particles with potential for Pickering stabilization and possible applications in the food industry. The interactions and assembly behaviour of the selected Pickering-stabilized emulsions will be analysed in the nano-range, as these factors determine the microstructure and are known to influence food structure, rheology and functional properties at the macroscopic scale. Whereas NTNU will test different combinations of mineral and vegetable oils to evaluate and understand the properties inducing formation of edible oil-in-oil emulsions and AALTO will identify food-grade colloidal particles whose state and morphology can be controlled with temperature and/or pH. Mobility within the PICKFOOD European Training Network is of high importance and you are therefore expected to spend 3 months at Bether Encapsulates (BEC in the Netherlands) for exploring novel approaches for encapsulation process , 6 months at NTNU for Small Angle X-rays Scattering studies for verifying the encapsulation and extent of release and one month at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP, Brazil) to evaluate the relationship between interfacial dilatational rheology and actives bio accessibility encapsulated in Pickering emulsions evaluated by in vitro digestion techniques. The candidate will be enrolled at the Niels Bohr Institute (https://nbi.ku.dk/) at the University of Copenhagen. The graduate program requires the student to obtain 30 ECTS points during the three-year period in order to graduate. Mandatory courses/schools are the Course for responsible conduct of research (1.5 ECTS) and an Introduction to University Pedagogy course (3 ECTS). A broad set of PhD courses are offered (https://phdcourses.ku.dk/).

The videos were broadcasted through YouTube and niconico douga (Japanese localized streaming video service). The recorded videos can be watched on those sites. https://j-parc.jp/c/information/2021/11/13000765.html (Only available in Japanese) DETAILED DESIGN OF NEW ACCESS ROAD WILL BE MADE IN JFY2022 In FY2021, J-PARC office made extensive effort to realize the new access road to the J-PARC area which has been desired for a long time by J-PARC user?s communities. We plan to make detailed design of the access road in JFY2022 to prepare for the construction when funded. J-PARC INTERNATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE (IAC) WILL BE HELD ON MARCH 3 AND 4 ONLINE Again this year, J-PARC IAC will be held online in Japanese night time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. [Accelerator Division] by Michikazu KINSHO --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STABLE OPERATION OF THE ACCELERATORS FROM OCTOBER TO DECEMBER A new operation run was started late in November after the summer shutdown. Accelerator studies at beam currents of 5 mA, 50 mA, and 60 mA were carried out at the linac. The studies were followed at the 3 GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) with linac beam current of 50 mA for user operation and 60 mA for higher beam power. The main purposes of the studies were to startup the machine, reproduce the accelerator parameters, confirm the performance of some new components installed during the summer shutdown, new parameter survey for lower beam loss, etc. Beam study of linac and RCS has been performed until December 17th. The neutron production target of the MLF was replaced during the summer shutdown. Due to the delay of target related work, beam user operation was postponed to January 15th, from the original schedule of end of November. The beam power for user operation is scheduled at 700 kW as before the summer shutdown. The Main Ring (MR) has entered a long maintenance period for upgrade from July 1st. until next autumn. The work has been progressing smoothly in preparation for the beam study operation in June next year. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. [Particle and Nuclear Physics Division] by Toshiyuki TAKAHASHI and Kyoichiro OZAWA --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACCURATE MEASUREMENT OF DIFFERENTIAL CROSS SECTIONS OF SIGMA^{-}-PROTON ELASTIC SCATTERING (by Koji MIWA) The study of the hyperon-nucleon (YN) interactions is important to understand the nucleon-nucleon and baryon-baryon interactions and to reveal the origin of the short-range repulsive core owing to the interactions between quarks. Also, the YN interactions have essential roles in a high-density matter, such as a neutron star. One of the best methods to investigate the YN interactions is a scattering experiment between hyperons and protons. However, our knowledge on the YN scatterings is very limited due to the low experimental statistics obtained before. The J-PARC hadron experimental facility would become a game changer thanks to the potential to deliver high-intensity secondary beams. The J-PARC E40 experiment was performed to measure differential cross sections of Sigma-proton scatterings at the K1.8 beam line in Feb. 2019. By handling the high-intensity pi- beam of 20M/spill using novel detectors with a fast time response, approximately 100 times more Sigma^{-} hyperons are used as a Sigma^{-} beam. The Sigma^{-}-proton scattering events were identified by the recoil proton and pi- from Sigma^{-} decay which were detected by a newly constructed so-called CATCH system. The measured differential cross sections show a clear forward peaking structure as predicted by theoretical models. The success of the Sigma^{-} proton scattering experiment is a major breakthrough in providing accurate data to establish realistic baryon interactions. This result was published recently in Phys. Rev. C 104, 045204 (2021). IN THE T2K COLLABORATION MEETING, EXTENSIVE DISCUSSION WAS HELD ON PHYSICS OUTCOME AND UPGRADE PROGRAM CHALLENGES (by Yoshiaki FUJII) Neutrino experimental facility and the T2K collaboration continue working on the upgrade of neutrino beam line and near detectors. Progress and challenges we are facing under COVID circumstances were extensively discussed during the T2K collaboration meeting, which was held from 11/24 to 12/15 through video connection. While mechanical fabrication is going fairly well, several delays were identified on the delivery of electronics. Suspension of over-sea travel is another critical issue for assembling work at J-PARC. In addition to the T2K oscillation analysis, joint analysis of T2K beam data and SK atmospheric data, and T2K-NOvA joint analysis challenges were also discussed. At the conclusion of the meeting, the spokespersons strongly encouraged collaborators to patiently cooperate to overcome these difficulties to open the doors to the exciting physics. STATUS OF THE COHERENT MUON TO ELECTRON TRANSITION (COMET) (by Satoshi MIHARA) The COMET experiment aims to search for the lepton-flavor violating muon reaction, mu-e conversion, with a sensitivity better than 10^{-14} in Phase I. Facility and detector construction work continues; construction of the cryostat for the pion capture solenoid magnet is close to the end. The coil assembly which was assembled in JFY 2020 will be installed into the cryostat in JFY2022. Excitation test of the capture solenoid is expected immediately after delivery and installation to the beam line. The COMET collaboration plans to carry out an engineering run, called COMET Phase-alpha within JFY 2022. In this operation, 8 GeV primary proton beam will be delivered to the COMET experiment hall for the first time. Studies of the primary proton beam such as measurements of the beam extinction factor and beam profile will be carried out along with backward pion production yield measurement and estimation of secondary beam particle contents ratio. The COMET collaboration discussed the status and plan toward starting beam operation in Phase-alpha and Phase-I in JFY 2022-2023 during CM35. The meeting ran fully online with participation of most collaborators in 9 different time zones. STATUS OF THE MUON G-2/ ELECTRIC DIPOLE MOMENT (EDM) (E34) (by Tsutomu MIBE) The E34 collaboration prepares for precision measurements of the muon anomalous magnetic moment and electric dipole moment. KEK continues to work on the engineering design of the relocation of the access road and buried facility infrastructure on the construction site. The design of the extension of the H-line for E34 installation was advanced. The collaboration worked on the commissioning of new experimental area with surface muon, the S2 experimental area where the demonstration of laser ionization of muonium is scheduled. Fabrication of a part of the cavities of the Inter-digital H-type Drift Tube Linac (IH-DTL) and Disk-And-Washer is in progress. A new laboratory for assembly of the silicon tracking detector has been set up at the KEK Tsukuba campus. Dr. Masashi Otani (KEK) was awarded the AAPPS C.N. Yang award 2021 for his development of the muon linac for realizing the muon acceleration for the E34. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4. [Materials and Life Science Division] by Toshiya OTOMO --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE MAINTENANCE WORKS DURING THE SUMMER OUTAGE HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT CAREFULLY AND SUCCESSFULLY 1) Neutron Source In view of promoting the radiation work safety, a long enough maintenance period was secured to avoid parallel works to mitigate the risk of radiation release or contamination, which led to the late start of user operation from January 2022. On October 18th, specimens were cut out from the fore front wall of the used target vessel which was operated with 740 kW at maximum. The maximum damage depth on the specimens was less than 1 mm, which was a promising result for the stable beam operation with greater beam power. On November 1st, the used mercury target vessel was replaced with a new one which has an improved structure of the mercury flow channel. That is, the bubble generator was installed at a position closer to the beam window by 100 mm compared to the former one in order to increase the bubble number density near the beam window for promoting the pressure wave mitigation effect. There was also another maintenance work on the gas process system, which is a crucial device for the target replacement, to replace a vacuum pump, and it needed special care to suppress the release of radioactive materials. The remote handling test of the moderator/reflector assembly (MRA) was carried out for the first time since the beam operation of MLF started. Experiences from those works will be reflected in the improvement of the maintenance procedure and radiation safety. PROPOSALS FOR 2022A PERIOD WERE RECEIVED 2) Neutron Instruments and Science The MLF 2022A call for general use proposals (short-term and one-year) was closed on November 8th. We have received 303 neutron proposals including 6 new user promotion proposals. All the proposals are now under review process whose results will be notified around next February 2022. The experimental periods are from the beginning of April 2022 to the end of June 2022 for short-term proposal (tentative) and from the beginning of April 2022 to the end of March 2023 for one-year proposal (tentative) respectively. The 5th Neutron and Muon School (NM-school) was held as KEK-IINAS (Inter-Institution Network for Accelerator Science) School from December 6th to 9th in an online style for both of lectures and practices. The practical training course was carried out using the in-situ pressure neutron diffraction, the inelastic neutron scattering, the single crystal neutron diffraction, the high intensity neutron total scattering, and the positive muon spin relaxation in MLF respectively. https://mlfinfo.jp/sp/school/5th-nms/index.html In December 2020, the arrangement for cooperation on research and development in the field of neutron scattering science between ANSTO (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation), J-PARC (KEK and JAEA) and CROSS (the registered institute for public beamlines), the AJ-MoU (ANSTO/J-PARC Memorandum of Understanding), has been extended. Recently, a series of online workshops on specific scientific scopes and R&D of devices on neutron scattering under the AJ-MoU was held. The recent scientific press releases at MLF were issued as follows: (1)."Superconductivity-driven ferromagnetism and spin manipulation using vortices in the magnetic superconductor EuRbFe4As4" https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2101101118 (2)."Fine-Structure Analysis of Perhydropolysilazane-Derived Nano Layers in Deep-Buried Condition Using Polarized Neutron Reflectometry" https://doi.org/10.3390/polym12102180 (3)."Emergence of spin-orbit coupled ferromagnetic surface state derived from Zak phase in a nonmagnetic insulator FeSi" https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abj0498 (4)."Deep learning approach for an interface structure analysis with a large statistical noise in neutron reflectometry" https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-02085-6 A LONG SUMMER OF MAINTENANCE & CONSTRUCTION WORK FOLLOWS 3) Muon Science Facility (MUSE) This summer's maintenance is a six-month long project that started in mid-July. At the rotating target, the rotating feeder is being replaced as part of the maintenance. It is recommended to replace it every two years, considering the wear and tear on the bearings. This is the first time since the rotating target itself has been replaced, and the work was carried out under careful preparation. However, an abnormality in the motor torque was confirmed during the test operation after the work, and it was presumed to be caused by the misalignment of the joint connecting the target rotation shaft and the drive shaft on the vacuum side. The work to readjust the joint position was scheduled for mid-December. In the Experimental Hall No. 1, the cooling water piping and power cable laying work for the H-line has progressed and was almost completed by the end of November. Remaining works including the installation of control/monitoring systems for beamline components are being made with the aim of the first beam transport early next year. In addition, a major modification of the S-line is underway to install part of the power supply system for the kicker magnet outside the beamline shield to allow quick access for repair upon the failure of the power supply, which frequently occurs during beamtime. The stable operation of the kicker magnet is crucial for the simultaneous experiments in the S1 and S2 areas, which are scheduled to start in the next beamtime. Meanwhile, in this proposal round, MUSE received 50 muon proposals for the 2022A periods, and the review process for these proposals is now underway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5. [Nuclear Transmutation Division] by Toshinobu SASA --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORROSION EXPERIMENT GOES TO THIRD CAMPAIGN Accelerator-driven transmutation system (ADS) proposed by JAEA uses a lead-bismuth eutectic alloy (LBE) for spallation target and reactor coolant for the good neutronic performance for ADS. However, LBE has an issue of compatibility with standard reactor materials. LBE has the specific characteristic to dissolve out Nickel from steels and that drastically decreases the lifetime of the structural materials. There is a way to solve the issue by the technologies of controlling oxygen potential to suppress the dissolution of the elements in steel by flowing LBE which is studied worldwide. When oxygen potential is kept in appropriate range (around 10-7%), an oxide film formed on the steel and then, the direct contact of materials and flowing LBE are suppressed. Oxygen potential in LBE can be controlled by mixture of two carrier gases, oxygen-rich argon gas and hydrogen-rich argon gas. By controlling the flow amount of these two gases with inert pure argon carrier gas, the oxygen potential of the LBE can be managed. By applying this technology, automatic oxygen potential control systems are installed to our two large-scale LBE loops, ?IMMORTAL?E a mockup loop for LBE target, and ?OLLOCHI?E a corrosion test loop with flowing high-temperature LBE. Since last fiscal year, the corrosion test campaign has started using OLLOCHI. The first campaign was successfully done last February and then, a second campaign was performed during last spring season. These two campaigns were performed under the same exact operation condition, 1 m/s of LBE flow speed at test section, 450 ?C to 350 ?C of temperature gradient, 10-6 % of oxygen concentration in LBE, and 2,000 operation hours. The purpose of these two campaigns was the functional test for corrosion test including the confirmation of reproducibility of the experimental conditions. The post examinations of the samples are underway to check the viability of the experiments using OLLOCHI. The third campaign has started in October, 2021 as a substantial corrosion experiment for LBE application to ADS. Three sample holders which stored 26 corrosion test specimens in one holder were prepared to perform the time dependent corrosion tests by changing exposure time from 2,000 hours, 5,000 hours, and 7,000 hours. Because the OLLOCHI has three test ports, the test can be performed in parallel using two of three ports by combination of 2,000 hours plus 5,000 hours exposure in one port and throughout 7,000 hours in another port. The test continues to next summer with short interruption for loop maintenance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6. [Safety Division] by Yoshihiro NAKANE and Kotaro BESSHO --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AN EMERGENCY DRILL WAS HELD ASSUMING RADIATION EXPOSURE ACCIDENT An emergency drill was held on Nov. 12, in cooperation with the Nuclear Science Research Institute of Japan Atomic Energy Agency. It was assumed that the beam operation was started without evacuating a worker in the accelerator tunnel of Rapid Cycling Synchrotron and he was exposed to radiation. The drill included transportation and decontamination of the exposed worker, estimation of exposure dose, setup of the command post and communication with accidental site, report to headquarters via TV conference, and simulated press release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7.

I have a PhD vacancy to announce, joint between the University of Cambridge Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy and the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source (both in the UK). Professor Rachel Evans and I are advertising a PhD studentship on the design and characterisation of light-responsive Pickering emulsions using neutron techniques (spin-echo/small-angle neutron scattering). In the initial stages, the project will involve particle and emulsion preparation and characterisation using standard lab methods (contact angle, DLS, microscopy) in Cambridge. After that, the student will spend at least 1 year at ISIS helping to design a new sample environment that combines ultrasound and, eventually, irradiation and then will use this for the remainder of the project to characterise the emulsions. It?s quite the challenge, so if you know anyone looking for PhD opportunities, with a particular interest in characterisation methods and experimental design, who would be willing to get stuck in, we would be very grateful if you could share this link below: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/design-of-light-responsive-emulsions-under-ultrasonic-radiation/?p142741 Kind regards, Greg Smith and Rachel Evans This email and any attachments are intended solely for the use of the named recipients.

Mobility is a fundamental ingredient of today's society. While it shapes our lives at the global and local scales, it also is responsible for about a quarter of the overall CO_2 emissions and it is the fastest growing source of global emissions. Improving the efficiency of energy use in transportation is thus an essential part of the present fight against the climate change. Technological and scientific advances in this field come from seemingly diverse areas, including for example high temperature resistant or light weight structural materials, hydrogen storage and conversion systems, batteries, CO_2 capture and synthetic fuels. This MLZ Conference aims to bring together the heterogeneous community of researchers working in the related fields and to foster cross-disciplinary discussions. The list of keynote and invited lectures illustrates the breadth of the encompassed topics: from climate and societal issues (Prof Daniela Jacob, GERICS) to industrial challenges (Dr Christian Weimer, Airbus) through scientific challenges and technological opportunities offered by a wide variety of material classes (Prof. Jennifer Rupp (TUM), Dr.-Ing. Steffen Neumeier (FAU N?rnberg-Erlangen), Prof. Giovanni Bruno (BAM), Prof. Andreas Sch?nhals (BAM)). Among other methods, neutron scattering, radiography/tomography and analytical methods based on neutron activation analysis play an important part in the research in this field. An overview of the current state of the art in addressing these questions will be presented by Prof. Andreas Schreyer (ESS). We welcome contributions in the fields of: * batteries and fuel cells * electrodes, membranes * light structural materials * synthetic fuels * CO_2 /pollutant capture * chemical aspects, kinetics, phase transformations * hydrogen: production, storage, conversion into power * high-temperature materials *Deadlines:* Deadline for abstracts: 19/04/2022 Notification of abstract acceptance: 26/04/22 Deadline for registration: 30/04/2022 For more information please visit MLZ Conference ?Neutrons for Mobility _?_ *Keynote and invited speakers will be: * * Prof. Dr. Daniela Jacob (Head of the Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS)) ??? ??? ???

[Editorial Note] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. [Overview] by Takashi KOBAYASHI --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE INTERNATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING WAS HELD ON MARCH 3RD AND 4TH. International advisory committee (IAC) met on March 3rd and 4th fully online (http://j-parc.jp/c/en/forum-and-committee/iac-e.html). IAC is a committee to advise the J-PARC center?s director and the directors general of JAEA and KEK on all aspects of J-PARC?s operation ranging from safety, science output, to the management and organization. We invited 16 distinguished researchers as IAC members, 10 of them as new members. New this time, we invited two members from the fields of social science. Dr. Robert McGREEVY from STFC was appointed as chair. Unfortunately, we had to give up holding a face-to-face meeting for the third time, and had a fully online meeting, for which we prepared video presentations. We received many important and valuable pieces of advice which will be our "guiding light" to maximize the performance of J-PARC. USER'S MEETING WAS HELD ON FEBRUARY 18TH. In order to communicate directly with J-PARC users, we organized a ?Users Meeting?, (a sort of town meeting), mainly with the particle and nuclear physics users this time. Timetable and presentations files can be found at https://kds.kek.jp/event/41086/. We explained the services offered by the user's office and heard presentations of user's needs. We also reported on the recent progress on the J-PARC access road. Inside J-PARC we formed a team to discuss and take actions to satisfy the user's needs as much as possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. [Accelerator Division] by Michikazu KINSHO --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OPERATION STATUS OF THE ACCELERATORS After the New Year's holiday, the beam operation started on January 11th as a new operation run (Run#89). The user program resumed for the Materials and Life Science experimental facility (MLF) on January 15th. The beam power was about 730 kW which was the same as the previous user operation before summer shutdown. The user program was rather smooth for the MLF until the end of March. The Main Ring (MR) has entered a long maintenance period for upgrade from July 1st 2021 until next autumn. The work has been progressing smoothly in preparation for the beam study operation in June this year. The beam availability in the Japanese Fiscal Year 2021 (from April 2021 to March 2022) was more than 95 percent for the MLF since we had no serious troubles at the linear accelerator (linac), the 3 GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) and the MLF. The availability of the MR user operation was also high, at more than 90% for both the neutrino and hadron user operation. ACCELERATOR TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE (A-TAC) MEETING The 21th A-TAC meeting was held on February 7th to 10th via remote Zoom presentations due to COVID-19 precautions. Of the nine committee members, eight members attended and 11 reports were presented such as: required items from last A-TAC, operational status, and performance upgrade. The committee deliberated on the improvements, objectives, etc. and gave recommendations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. [Particle and Nuclear Physics Division] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROGRAM ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING (by Takeshi KOMATSUBARA) The 33rd Program Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting was held as a video conference on January 19-21 2022. At the meeting, chaired by Dr. Rik Yoshida (Argonne National Laboratory), status of the experiments were reported and prospects for the beam time after the long shutdown of the Main Ring were discussed. The report from the focused review of the extended Hadron Experimental Facility, held in August 2021, was presented by the chair Dr. Tetsuo Hatsuda (RIKEN). This time six proposals, including four new ones, requested Stage-1 status and three experiments requested Stage-2 approval. https://kds.kek.jp/indico/event/40624/ The PAC report will be available through the following web page. https://j-parc.jp/researcher/Hadron/en/PAC_for_NuclPart_e.html The next PAC meeting will be held in July or August 2022. BREAKTHROUGH IN KAONIC ATOM X-ray SPECTROSCOPY USING MICROCALORIMETERS (by Tadashi HASHIMOTO) X-ray spectroscopy of kaonic atoms, where a negatively-charged anti-kaon replaces an electron in a normal atom, is a unique tool to investigate the strong interaction between an anti-kaon and a nucleon/nucleus at almost zero kinetic energy. A new experiment was performed at J-PARC and the obtained results provide important constraints on the anti-kaon interaction models, which would contribute to the discussion of kaonic nuclear bound states, and roles of anti-kaons in neutron stars. The experiment, which is called J-PARC E62 experiment, has measured the 3d to 2p transition X-rays from kaonic helium-3 and helium-4 with a novel microcalorimeter spectrometer. The experiment was performed in June 2018 and collected ~200 X-ray events in ~20 days. The new spectrometer is based on an array of highly sensitive thermal sensors, which can realize both an eV-scale excellent resolution and a reasonably large effective area. The experiment established a method to operate the spectrometer in a severe radiation environment and achieved 6 eV FWHM resolution for 6 keV X-rays. The achieved precision is 10 times better than past measurements. This result was published recently in Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 112503 (2022). ON GOING UPGRADE WORK TOWARDS HIGHER BEAM POWER (by Yoshiaki FUJII) The neutrino experimental facility and the T2K experiment groups are working very hard on improvement of their apparatus toward a beam restart expected around the end of 2022. The most critical components in generating intense neutrino beam are the target and the pulsed magnet horns. The most-upstream horn, the first horn hereafter, has been already taken out from the beam line and placed in a so-called maintenance area equipped with manipulators for investigation of its condition after seven-years operation. An OTR beam profile monitor attached on the first horn has had a trouble in its moving mechanism. Investigation of the cause was extensively carried out via remote communication connections with experts in Canada. Preparation for replacement of the target heat exchanger is also in progress for handling higher beam heat deposit. Construction of a new radio-active water dilution facility has been finished, and testing with non-radioactive water has been done. We will move to the next step, the construction of a facility to settle the industrial water sludge down. As travels within Europe and those between Europe and North America are getting unrestricted, T2K has decided to have the next collaboration meeting from May 8th May 13 in-person, gathering both at Tokai and at CERN. STATUS OF THE MUON G-2/ ELECTRIC DIPOLE MOMENT (EDM) (E34) (by Tsutomu MIBE) The E34 collaboration prepares for precision measurements of the muon anomalous magnetic moment and electric dipole moment. The first beam of surface muon has successfully been delivered to the H1 area. The collaboration worked with the MLF muon facility to carry out the commissioning of the beamline. The collaboration started a new experiment to demonstrate thermal muon production and its ionization at the S2 area. Acceleration cavities for the muon LINAC are under fabrication. Development of assembly of the silicon tracking detector was started at the KEK Tsukuba campus. A test of data transfer from MLF to KEKCC in Tsukuba was carried out and confirmed sufficient speed of data transfer. STATUS OF THE COHERENT MUON TO ELECTRON TRANSITION (COMET) (by Satoshi MIHARA) The COMET experiment aims to search for the lepton-flavor violating muon reaction, mu-e conversion, with a sensitivity better than 10-14 in Phase I. Facility and detector construction work continues; construction of the primary proton beam line to deliver protons to the COMET experiment site completed in March 2022. Preparation of the cryogenic facility is in progress with a goal to operate the muon transport solenoid before summer 2022. The main detector of COMET for its physics measurement, the Cylindrical Drift Chamber (CDC), has been tested in the Tsukuba campus and is now good shape. The CDC will be transported to J-PARC before summer for further conditioning on site. The COMET collaboration discussed the status and plan towards starting beam operation in JFY 2022-2023 during CM36 which was held in early March fully online with participation of most collaborators in 9 different time zones. Two new institutes participations were approved related to the affiliation changes of some of the members. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4. [Materials and Life Science Division] by Toshiya OTOMO --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STABLE USER PROGRAM OPERATION HAD BEEN CONTINUED AT 730 KW 1) Neutron Source Beam operation of MLF is going very well with 730 kW and a good availability of more than 90%. The sound monitoring of the mercury target indicates excellent effect of bubble injection into mercury to mitigate pressure waves, which support further power ramp-up to over 800 kW from this April. QUANTUM BEAM SCIENCE FIESTA WAS HELD ONLINE 2) Neutron Instruments and Science After a long shut-down in the summer-autumn 2021 maintenance period, beam operation has been back in the middle of January 2022 and the user program was resumed. The new proposal round 2022A is for the period from April to June. There were 303 submissions for general use proposals (short-term and one-year) and new user promotion proposals. 152 were approved by Neutron Science Proposal Review Committee (NSPRC) / Expert Panel of Proposal Evaluation Committee (PEC) followed by MLF Advisory Board held in February. The international neutron advisory committee meeting (NAC-2022) has been held online on February 10th and 17th. The report from the MLF on updated status of the neutron source, neutron instruments, sample environment, and neutron devices were summarized. For the future aspect of MLF, industrial use, remote use, and optimization of the neutron target station were discussed along the committee recommendations of the last NAC. Video recorded presentations and reference materials were given to committee members prior to the online meeting this time as a trial. Quantum Beam Science Fiesta FY2021 (QBSF2021) which is a yearly event for domestic users for MLF and IMSS (Institute of Materials Structure Science in KEK) was held online on March 7th to 9th, together with the 13th MLF symposium and the 39th PF symposium. The recent four press releases at MLF were as follows; (1)"Above-ordering-temperature large anomalous Hall effect in a triangular-lattice magnetic semiconductor" https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abl5381 (2)"Hydride-ion-conducting K2NiF4-type Ba-Li oxyhydride solid electrolyte" https://doi.org/10.1038/s41563-021-01175-0 (3)"Nondestructive quantitative imaging for spatially nonuniform degradation in a commercial lithium-ion battery using a pulsed neutron beam" https://doi.org/10.35848/1882-0786/ac4c45 (4)"Star-Polymer-DNA Gels Showing Highly Predictable and Tunable Mechanical Responses" https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202108818 BEAM COMMISSIONING STARTED AT H1 AREA 3) Muon Science Facility (MUSE) After a long summer shutdown period of almost half a year since mid-July 2021, MUSE resumed operation on January 15, 2022 as scheduled. So far, the user experiments have been conducted smoothly, but there are still various restrictions due to the COVID-19 infection spread precautionary measures, and users, especially those from outside of Japan, are still not expected to come to Japan. One piece of good news is that the H-Line has passed the facility inspection of Nuclear Regulation Authority in January and is now ready to deliver a muon beam to the H1 area. This has made it possible to conduct muon experiments at all four beamlines that were originally planned. Beam tuning at the H1 area is now underway, mainly by the experimental groups from the S-type proposals envisaged at the H1 area. The committee meetings held in January and February under the COVID-19 pandemic protocols, included the Muon Science Proposal Review Committee (MSPRC) and Muon Advisory Committee (MAC), which were all conducted online, as in previous years. In the MSPRC meeting, 50 proposals submitted for 2022A term were reviewed, with 26 approved, 22 reserved, and the remainder turned down. The MAC met on-line multiple times, and those involving foreign MAC members were arranged separately in the night hours to minimize the effects of the time difference. While the report commended on the progress in fabrication of the spare muon production target and the first muon beam delivery to the H1 area, the shortage of manpower was cited again as a crucial issue for the sustainability of MUSE, and will be communicated again to the J-PARC management as one of the priority issues. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5. [Nuclear Transmutation Division] by Toshinobu SASA --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE (T-TAC) MEETING WAS HELD The eighth TEF (Transmutation Experimental Facility) Technical Advisory Committee (T-TAC) meeting was held via online meeting at February 2nd, 9th and 16th in 2022. Three Japanese and four foreign committee members from Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland gathered to review the current progress of the TEF facility plan and related research and development work. As of this meeting, some of the committee members were changed to better match the expertise of the reviewers to the TEF activities. In the first and second days, J-PARC staff members introduced their activities to realize the experimental facility, such as the technologies for Lead-Bismuth Eutectic alloy target and instrumentation, safety issues, neutronics, and accelerator technologies. After the closed discussion on the final day by the T- TAC members, various recommendations and comments to advance the R&D activities were introduced at the closing session. T-TAC suggested that the R&D works carried out by J-PARC is a highly valuable contribution to the international ADS community and acknowledged the continuous efforts deployed by J-PARC to set-up collaborations with other organizations at the national and international level in the framework of the Japanese ADS program. T-TAC also recommended to carefully set the priorities of the proposed activities to match the available resources. A summary report was delivered at the beginning of March 2022 to push forward the R&Ds for facility design. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6. [Safety Division] by Yoshihiro NAKANE and Kotaro BESSHO --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE SAFETY INSPECTION WAS SUCCESSFULLY CONDUCTED The safety inspection of the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) was successfully conducted, and the certificate of compliance was issued on Jan. 27th by Radiation Management Institute, inc. The inspection items were the shielding construction prepared for a new and a modified muon beamlines, the measurement of radiation dose rates around the shielding construction, and the operation tests on the safety interlocks in MLF. FISCAL 2021 J-PARC SAFETY AUDIT The fiscal 2021 J-PARC safety audit was conducted by two auditors on Dec. 20th. They reviewed the following points: 1) Compliance initiatives, 2) Organization for safety management, and 3) Safety management in works. The auditors gave us valuable recommendations, such as effective improvements of rad-work permit processes, scheduling maintenance works with a proper margin, review and improvement of all activity including maintenance works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7. [Information System Section] by Kazuo GORAI --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE SCIENCE INFORMATION NETWORK (SINET) UPGRADE TO VERSION 6 MAKES J-PARC NETWORK SPEED UP On April 1,2022, the National Institute of Informatics (NII) has upgraded SINET from version 5 to 6. SINET is a gateway from J-PARC network to the internet and also an important connection between J-PARC Tokai and KEK Tsukuba campus. Thanks to NII support in the upgrade, the network bandwidth between Tsukuba and Tokai could be increased from 10 Gbps to 10 Gbps x 2, The internet connection is still at 10 Gbps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8.

Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, In the name of the Scientific Programme Committee, we would like to remind you about the upcoming *conference on mobility organized by the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ)*, to be held in Lenggries (Bavarian Alps, near Munich) from May 31th to June 3rd 2022. Registration is still possible until May 16th. Mobility is a fundamental ingredient of today's society. While it shapes our lives at the global and local scales, it also is responsible for about a quarter of the overall CO_2 emissions and it is the fastest growing source of global emissions. Improving the efficiency of energy use in transportation is thus an essential part of the present fight against the climate change. Technological and scientific advances in this field come from seemingly diverse areas, including for example high temperature resistant or light weight structural materials, hydrogen storage and conversion systems, batteries, CO_2 capture and synthetic fuels. This MLZ Conference aims to bring together the heterogeneous community of researchers working in the related fields and to foster cross-disciplinary discussions. The list of keynote and invited lectures illustrates the breadth of the encompassed topics: from climate and societal issues (Prof Daniela Jacob, GERICS) to industrial challenges (Dr Christian Weimer, Airbus) through scientific challenges and technological opportunities offered by a wide variety of material classes (Prof. Jennifer Rupp (TUM), Dr.-Ing. Steffen Neumeier (FAU N?rnberg-Erlangen), Prof. Giovanni Bruno (BAM), Prof. Andreas Sch?nhals (BAM)). Among other methods, neutron scattering, radiography/tomography and analytical methods based on neutron activation analysis play an important part in the research in this field. An overview of the current state of the art in addressing these questions will be presented by Prof. Andreas Schreyer (ESS). For more information please visit https://indico.frm2.tum.de/event/306/ *Keynote and invited speakers will be: * * Prof. Dr. Daniela Jacob (Head of the Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS)) ??? ??? ???

HZB Neutron School to be held in 2022. This follows the first successful joint school in 2019 and the long tradition of neutron schools being held in Berlin. The aim of the school is to provide a broad overview of new scattering theory and applications to demonstrate the utility of neutron scattering science. The course will consist of lectures and practicals using the neutron beam instruments at the OPAL Multipurpose Reactor. Subjects covered include basic theory, instrumentation, small-angle scattering, reflectometry, deuteration, crystallography and diffraction, imaging, residual stress and strain scanning, inelastic scattering, quasi-elastic scattering, and polarised neutrons. There will also be a demonstration of sample environment equipment and a tutorial on writing proposals. Students will have the opportunity to present their work to fellow participants and ANSTO and HZB staff in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere at the school poster session. The school is particularly suited to those who are new to neutron scattering and is aimed at students (Honours, Masters, PhD) and early career researchers. Those encourage to apply are studying in the areas of: [https://mcusercontent.com/50e44d7c99f0bcbe3f66cb4e9/images/ff930f3b-110e-1823-1e38-dd643d39f60a.png] More Infomation [Facebook] [Twitter] [Website] Copyright ? 2022 ANSTO, All rights reserved.

Installation packages can be found on our download page. You can also access the source code on the GitHub release page. Packaging & Installation As advertised in v6.3.0 we have reworked our installer packages for this release. Changes include: - Windows and macOS packages are now named MantidWorkbench-6.4.0 with the appropriate extension. Other than this they are used in the same manner. - A new linux tarball ,``mantidworkbench-6.4.0.tar.xz``, now supports many Linux distributions and should work on any 2010+ distribution. This can simply be unpacked with `tar xJf mantidworkbench-6.4.0.tar.xz ` and can reside anywhere without requiring root privileges. Last Release of .rpm and .deb This release will be the last time we provide an .rpm for Red Hat and a .deb for Ubuntu. The new Linux tarball provided above will work on both of these systems and has the advantage of not being tied to ancient system libraries that have held up internal updates. The new tarball can also be extracted and run anywhere, so does not require root permissions to install. Please take a look at the release notes, which are filled with details of all of the changes and improvements in many other areas. The development team has put a great effort into making all of these improvements and we would like to thank all of our beta testers for their time and effort helping us to make this another reliable version. Thank you to everyone that has reported any issues to us and please keep on reporting any problems you have on our forum or by email on mantid-help at mantidproject.org. Installation on IDAaaS at ISIS: The version will remain pinned at whatever version you are using.

[Editorial Note] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. [Overview] by Takashi KOBAYASHI --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IAC REPORT SUBMITTED The International advisory committee (IAC) (http://j-parc.jp/c/en/forum-and-committee/iac-e.html) met on March 3rd and 4th fully online, and we received the final report (https://j-parc.jp/c/en/uploads/2022/JPARC-IAC2022-report.pdf). We got a lot of valuable advices on all aspects of J-PARC operation ranging from human resource planning, operation budget, radioactive waste management, etc. We continue to work on all these advices to improve the overall J-PARC performance. PROGRESS TOWARD REALIZING A NEW J-PARC ACCESS ROAD During JFY2021, we made great progress toward realizing a new J-PARC access road. JAEA, KEK, and Tokai-village government office agreed to proceed to engineering design in JFY2022 to be ready for construction based on the basic plan proposed by J-PARC. In this FY, we started contracts for the engineering design. (JFY is from April to March.) OUTREACH ACTIVITIES We published the 2022 edition of J-PARC quarterly magazine (https://j-parc.jp/c/public-relations/publication.html, we apologize that this website is not available in English). This issue is on the neutrino project (https://j-parc.jp/c/uploads/2022/J-PARCmagazine2022_17.pdf). The PR section has been organizing a monthly "Hello science" (https://j-parc.jp/c/events/hello-science/index.html), which is a science cafe type event with direct communication between researchers and the general public. Before COVID-19, it was intended for face-to-face communication with local people. Since April 2021 under the COVID-19 pandemic, we expanded our audience with remote connection. Video of the past events can be found through the above mentioned "Hello science" web page (we apologize that this website is not available in English). KEK PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2022 ESTABLISHED AND PUBLISHED In May 2021, KEK published the KEK Roadmap 2021, which described in details the status of research fields related to KEK, including J-PARC, and the strategy for the research program to be implemented at KEK in the future, focusing on its fourth medium-range goals/plans period from JFY2022 to JFY2027. The KEK Project Implementation Plan (PIP) 2022 was developed during JFY2021 as a concrete implementation plan for the realizing of the KEK Roadmap 2021, particularly from the viewpoint of funding resources. Its draft was presented and reviewed at the KEK Science Advisory Committee's third meeting on March 7, 8 and 11. Based on the report of the committee, the KEK-PIP 2022 was established on June 24 and has just been published. The documents can be found at https://www.kek.jp/en/roadmap-en/. KEK-PIP 2022 emphasizes that operating KEK's major accelerators for sufficient time to produce research outputs is a high priority in KEK's mission. In the resource allocation for J-PARC, priority is given to securing the operation of the Main Ring for six months per year or longer in total for fast extraction and slow extraction, followed by maintenance and improvement of the accelerator and of the three research facilities: MLF, Neutrino Experimental Facility and Hadron Experimental Facility. In JFY2022, the construction of a new facility for the muon g-2/EDM experiment is to begin. Among the four KEK projects to make new budget requests, Extension of the Hadron Experimental Facility and Transmission Muon Microscope of J-PARC have been given the first and fourth priorities, respectively, and appropriate efforts will be made to receive new budgetary measures for them in that order. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. [Accelerator Division] by Michikazu KINSHO --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OPERATION STATUS OF THE ACCELERATORS The Main Ring (MR) upgrade, which has been carried out since last July 2021, will be completed soon and beam commissioning is scheduled to begin in mid-June 2022. The beam operation as an operation run of Run#89, which started middle of January in this year, continued until April 28th on schedule. The beam power for the Materials and Life Science experimental facility (MLF) user program increased from 730kW to 830kW on April 7th. The user program resumed for the MLF on May 11th. The MLF user program will continue until June 24th before the summer shutdown. After the MLF user operation is completed, an accelerator beam study is scheduled for up to 13 days before the summer maintenance work. The main items of this study are a two-day continuous high power beam test at 1 MW beam power in the RCS, and a MR beam commissioning. The MR has entered a long maintenance period for upgrade from July, 2021. This work is generally progressing well, and all equipment has been successfully tested for simultaneous energization so far. Currently, final adjustments are carried out for the beam commissioning, which is scheduled to begin in mid-June. This beam commissioning is scheduled to run until early July. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. [Particle and Nuclear Physics Division] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A PAPER ON THE PRODUCTION TARGET FOR SECONDARY PARTICLES AT THE HADRON EXPERIMENTAL FACILITY WAS PUBLISHED (by S. Sawada) One of the most important elements at the Hadron Experimental Facility is the production target of the secondary particles. In order to create high-quality secondary particle beams, such as kaons and pions, the size of the primary proton beam should be as small as 2.5 mm (horizontal) and 1 mm (vertical). The heat from the intense primary proton beam is deposited in the tiny volume of the gold target, defined by this beam size and the target thickness (66 mm). The target has to be robust against not only this dense heat deposition but also the extremely high radiation environment. The team at the Hadron Experiment Facility has developed several production targets to match the upgrades of the intensity of the 30-GeV primary proton beam. The previous target which was installed in the facility in 2014, could accept proton beams up to 50 kW. To accept more intense proton beams, a new target was developed. Its acceptance of 65-kW beam was achieved in 2021. The target is cooled by circulating water indirectly. The team analyzed the thermal stress caused by the beam irradiation carefully and designed the target accordingly. They measured the stress-strain curves of gold at the operating temperatures as well, which were used in the thermal stress analysis. The temperature of the target is monitored carefully by thermocouples, and the beam is stopped if an abnormal situation occurs. The temperature monitoring of the target also helps the estimation of the beam position. The team published the results as an article (M. Saito, et al., Phys. Rev. Accel. Beams 25, 063001). NEUTRINO COLLABORATORS ARE COMING BACK FROM ABROAD (by Yoshiaki Fujii) After more than a two-years absence, collaborators from abroad are coming back to J-PARC gradually. The pulse magnets, the horns, used until the last run were successfully taken out from the beam line and stored in the storage area, contained in thick caskets. The new 2nd horn was fabricated at University of Colorado, and has arrived at J-PARC for the final assembly work. Collaborators of University of Colorado came to J-PARC in June for this assembly work. Installation of the 2nd horn will be done in July. Installation of the new OTR, a beam profile monitor just upstream of the target, was also done in June with Canadian collaborators working together at the target station. Upgrade work of ND280, the near detector, is also in progress. Plastic scintillator cubes of the SuperFGD, a new tracking target detector, have been shipped out towards J-PARC. The HATPC, a new tracking detector surrounding the SuperFGD, showed some problems in the high-voltage structure, and one is working on a solution. After 8 months of struggling with the visiting procedure to Japan, two Italian collaborators eventually came to J-PARC in June to work on the renewal of the TPC gas system. The P83 experiment SUBMET collaborators from Korea also came to J-PARC. They examined the availability of resources, and did some background measurement successfully. JSNS2 experimenters at MLF searching for sterile neutrinos, are working on the blind analysis of the 1.45x10^22 POT data taken until June 2021. They resumed data taking from January 29, 2022, until May 31, 2022. A new step, JSNS-II, has started. A Technical Design Report (TDR) was submitted and stage-II was recommended at the PAC meeting. A new detector 48m from the target, outside of the MLF experimental hall, is under construction. We are still affected by the COVID-19 situation, but thanks to the return of collaborators from abroad, we are gradually recovering and proceeding. STATUS OF THE COHERENT MUON TO ELECTRON TRANSITION (COMET) (by Satoshi MIHARA) The COMET experiment aims to search for the lepton-flavor violating muon reaction, mu-e conversion, with a sensitivity better than 10-14 in Phase I. Facility and detector construction work continues; after the completion of the construction of the primary proton beam line to deliver protons to the COMET experiment in March 2022, the area work in progress is to setup a target chamber as well as beam duct to be used in the engineering run in JFY2023. Cooling and excitation tests of the transport solenoid installed in the COMET area in 2015 has started in May 2022. The magnet was successfully cooled down to the level of the super-conducting phase. The main detector of COMET for its physics measurement, the Cylindrical Drift Chamber (CDC), has been tested at the Tsukuba campus. The final test of electronics cooling with water was completed recently. The CDC will be transported to J-PARC in July for further conditioning on site. The COMET collaboration plans to have its collaboration meeting in July 2022 in a hybrid style for the 1st time since the last face-to-face meeting in 2019. The collaboration anticipates profound discussion regarding the start of the engineering run (COMET Phase-alpha) as well as the timely start of physics data acquisition (COMET Phase-I). STATUS OF THE MUON G-2/ ELECTRIC DIPOLE MOMENT (EDM) (E34) (by Tsutomu MIBE) The E34 collaboration aims for precision measurements of the muon anomalous magnetic moment and electric dipole moment. The collaboration held a meeting from June 8 to 10 in a hybrid format in J-PARC and at remote connections to share the progress. The initial stage of commissioning of the surface muon beam at the H-line confirmed the beam intensity and profile at the H1 area. An extension of the H-line is in preparation. The collaboration continues the demonstration of thermal muon production by using the 1S-2S excitation of muonium at the S2 area. The vacuum chamber equipped with electrodes for the initial acceleration and transport of muons, the IH-DTL acceleration cavity for the low-energy part of the RF accelerator were fabricated. Development of magnetic field monitors, injection system, positron detector is in progress. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4. [Materials and Life Science Division] by Toshiya OTOMO --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- USERS FROM ABROAD HAVE COME BACK For the first time in two years, users from abroad have come back to MLF. The guideline of the government to welcome foreigners still requires additional procedures of PCR test just before travelling, registration from receiving institutes and VISA application from all directions. J-PARC users are requested to start such procedure early enough to be in time for the scheduled experiments. BEAM POWER WAS RAISED TO OVER 800 kW 1) Neutron Source The beam operation of MLF is going on very well with the daily availability of 93.5 % on average since April 1st, as of June 1st in 2022. The beam power was raised from 730 kW to 830 kW on April 7th, which is the highest power ever attained for long term user operation of MLF. Due to the mode change of MR operation from slow extraction to fast extraction, the power delivered to MLF was reduced to 770kW from June 4th. After the end of the user program on June 24th, a 1MW beam operation is planned to be tested for two days until June 26th. As a maintenance work of the off-gas process system which removes radioactive materials from the cover gas of the mercury circulation system, its molecular sieve was replaced by a new one on June 2nd with the special attention to radiation safety. The maintenance works during the long outage will begin at the end of June. PROPOSALS FOR 2022B ROUND WERE RECEIVED 2) Neutron Instruments and Science The MLF 2022B call for general use proposals (short-term and one-year) was closed on May 11th; we have 291 neutron proposals including 1 one-year proposal and 3 new user promotion proposals. All the proposals are now under the review process, with results notified by early September 2022. The experimental periods are from November 2022 to March 2023 for short-term proposal (tentative) and from November 2022 to July 2023 for one-year proposal (tentative) respectively. (https://mlfinfo.jp/en/user/proposals/2022B/) Meanwhile, we received 5 proposals for the 2022L long-term proposals (The validity period is up to 3 years (or 6 proposal rounds)), and the review process for these proposals is now also underway. A yearly period of the 2022L long-term proposals starts in the 2022B term. (https://mlfinfo.jp/en/user/proposals/2022L/LTP_application_guidelines.html) The recent five press releases at MLF neutron science were as follows, 1)"Revisiting the concept of peptide bond planarity in an iron-sulfur protein by neutron structure analysis" https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abn2276 2)"Flexible and Tough Superelastic Co-Cr Alloys for Biomedical Applications" https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202202305 3)"Hyperfine Splitting and Nuclear Spin Polarization in NdPd5Al2 and Nd3Pd20Ge6" https://doi.org/10.7566/JPSJ.91.054710 4)"Cross-scale analysis of temperature compensation in the cyanobacterial circadian clock system" https://doi.org/10.1038/s42005-022-00852-z 5)"Determination of site occupancy of boron in 6H-SiC by multiple-wavelength neutron holography" https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0080895 A NEW ROTATING MUON PRODUCTION TARGET WAS DEVELOPED 3) Muon Science Facility (MUSE) A new management structure for the facility was launched in April. Under the management of N. Kawamura as Section Leader and A. Koda as Section Sub Leader, some of the instrument managers were changed which has been announced on the facility home page. The user experiments were conducted smoothly except for the S line (detail is described below). The rotating muon production target was developed in a collaboration with Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland, which had developed the rotating target since the 1970s. In PSI, after replacing the bearings with new ones developed in J-PARC, one year of stable operation was achieved the last December, which is the best following a long period of several bearing failures. To commemorate it, PSI, KEK, and J-PARC jointly issued a press release titled "Graphite Disk Keeps Rotation to Produce Muons - The Challenge under International Collaboration between Japan and Switzerland". (https://j-parc.jp/c/en/press-release/2022/06/09000967.html ) In the S line, a malfunction of the beamline gate valve located at the most upstream was found on 30/March: it could not close completely. The S-line operation was stopped until the completion of the replacement work and resumed just after the national holidays in the first week of May. So far, the users' experiments allocated in April had to be canceled regretfully although the repair work was done as quickly as possible. The reason for the failure was that the Kapton (a polyimide film invented by the DuPont Corporation) foil located beside the gate valve had been broken and its debris were caught in it. The measure to prevent recurrence will be taken in this summer shutdown. In the H line, the on-beam commissioning performed since the first beam delivery in January was completed successfully, and the S-type experiment (DeeMe; an approved proposal of doing muon-electron conversion experiment at J-PARC MLF. http://deeme.phys.sci.osaka-u.ac.jp) which is the first user's experiment in the H line will start at the beginning of June. In this proposal round, MUSE received 57 muon proposals for the 2022B periods, and the review process for these proposals is now underway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5. [Nuclear Transmutation Division] by Jun TAMURA and Yasuhiro KONDO --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CURRENT STATUS OF THE SPOKE CAVITY PROTOTYPING FOR THE ADS LINAC Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been proposing an accelerator-driven system (ADS) to reduce the high-level radioactive waste generated in nuclear power plants. One of the challenging R&D aspects of ADS is the reliability of the accelerator. A superconducting cavity is essential to realize the ADS linac, which can operate in continuous wave (CW) mode with a reasonably low trip rate. The low-beta section of the linac, which previously adopted a normal conducting structure, was redesigned to reflect recent progress in the development of low-beta superconducting cavities. In preparation for the full-scale design of the CW proton linac for the ADS, we are now prototyping a low-beta (around 0.2) spoke cavity. To ensure the feasibility of the ADS linac, prototyping and performance testing of the cavity is imperative. The prototype spoke cavity has two accelerating gaps with a single spoke electrode. The cavity dimensions are approximately 300 mm and 500 mm in length and diameter, respectively, excluding beam and RF ports. In the fiscal year 2021, we started welding press-formed niobium cavity parts together. At present, we have fabricated the cavity's body part. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6. [Safety Division] by Yoshihiro NAKANE and Kotaro BESSHO --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- J-PARC SAFETY DAY 2022 The J-PARC Center has held "the J-PARC Safety Day" annually around May 23 which was the day a radioactive material leak incident occurred in 2013. The Safety Day in FY2022 was held on May 23 online. The special lecture titled "Improvement of ability to implement safety on site through compliance of manuals: Safety Ergonomics Approach" was presented by Prof. Komatsubara, Waseda University. As a new attempt this year, safety initiatives at four facilities (Accelerator Facility, Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility, Hadron Experimental Facility, and Neutrino Experimental Facility) were introduced and discussed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7.

For further information about the summer school go to: https://www.nist.gov/ncnr/chrns/education-and-outreach/chrns-summer-school-neutron-scattering Please note that this year the school will not cover inelastic neutron scattering. This school provides participants the opportunity to learn about small angle neutron scattering (SANS), and neutron reflectometry (NR) at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR). These powerful experimental techniques are used by researchers in a variety of scientific disciplines to probe the microstructure of materials at length scales ranging from 1nm to 20 microns. The NCNR is home to world-class SANS, USANS (Ultra Small Angle Neutron Scattering), VSANS and NR instruments, which are available to all qualified researchers through the NCNR's anonymous, peer review proposal system. This school emphasizes hands-on practical training for the instruments mentioned above as well as a thorough theoretical overview of these measurement techniques. Applications of these techniques will be illustrated by specific examples drawn from recent cutting-edge research on polymer science, magnetic materials, complex fluids, biology/biophysics, microporous media, and more. The course will enable attendees to assess the applicability of the techniques to their own research and will provide the technical information needed to prepare effective beam time proposals. The Summer School is sponsored by the Center for High Resolution Neutron Scattering (CHRNS), jointly funded by the National Science Foundation and NIST. Limited support for graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty will be available. Attendance will be limited up to 42 participants, and only applicants from North American institutions will be accepted. For further information, and/or to apply, please go to: https://www.nist.gov/ncnr/chrns/education-and-outreach/chrns-summer-school-neutron-scattering Early application is advised since attendance is strictly limited and typically we receive more applications than the maximum number of participants.

Several older research reactors have already shut down and further closures are scheduled for the current decade. To overcome these closures, the construction of a new type of neutron source using low-energy, high-current accelerators (HiCANS) is proposed by various institutes across Europe. Among the projects, we can mention SONATE in France, HBS in Germany or ARGITU in Spain. OBJECTIVES We aim at developing a moderator for the production of "cold" neutrons. A cryogenic loop for hydrogen liquefaction was recently built at the Laboratoire L?on Brillouin (LLB). With the support of other CEA departments (DES/SERMA and DRF/DPhN), Monte-Carlo modelling of neutron transport in the moderator will be carried out to understand the parameters allowing optimization of the geometry of the moderator (coupling with the neutron production target, pre-moderator, reflector). The existing loop will then be optimized to be integrated into the IPHI - Neutrons source at Saclay. The neutronics performances will be evaluated and compared with the models. The equipment will ultimately be used to perform neutron scattering experiments. Collaborations with the partners of the ELENA network are envisaged. This platform will make it possible to test new materials and geometries for next-generation cold neutron moderators. PROFILE & COMPETENCES 1. Knowledge in phyics 2. Instrumentation 3. Monte-Carlo simulation (desirable, ex. GEANT4) 4. Cryogenics (desirable) Keywords : neutronics, Monte-Carlo, instrumentation, cryogenics. The offer refers to a fixed term contract of 24 months at the CEA Saclay. The level of skill required is that of a beginner engineer - physicist. The deadline for submitting applications is November 7th, 2022.

The lifetime of the free neutron is a key observable in low-energy tests of the Standard Model of Particle Physics (SM) with important implications throughout the evolution of the Universe. The neutron lifetime determines the ratio of 4He/H after the primordial nucleosynthesis. And within the SM only three (low-energy) parameters are required for a highprecision description of the free neutron decay: The CKM matrix element Vud, the ratio of axial-vector and vector coupling strength gA/gV, and the free neutron lifetime. Therefore, a precise determination of the neutron lifetime contributes to a very stringent test of the SM prediction and any deviation thereof could be a tantalizing hint to physics beyond the SM. The tSPECT experiment is installed at the source of ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) at JGU?s own TRIGA reactor. We follow the approach to measure the fraction of neutrons surviving for a variable storage time in a so-called neutron bottle. This bottle is formed by a region of a magnetic field minimum surrounded by strong positive magnetic field gradients. Through the neutron?s electromagnetic interaction potential, neutrons in the low-field-seeking spin state get trapped without contact to material walls where the spurious neutron absorption could occur. To ?close? the UCN-bottle after the filling process tSPECT uses a unique approach. By applying a radio-frequency pulse, initially high-field seeking UCN are converted into the storable, low-field seeking state. This way also the closing of the bottle happens contact-less and without the need to physically move magnet arrangements. The tSPECT experiment is currently in its commissioning phase. The postdoctoral scholar will participate in the data accumulation during beam times and drive the efforts for detailed Monte-Carlo simulations of the experiment that will be required to understand effects that could systematically bias the extracted neutron lifetime result. Working experience with various UCN-specific MC packages is desireable. Please send your application, including ? a cover letter ? a research statement about previous and current research experience (1-page max., 12 pt) ? a CV ? the name and email address of two providers of letters of reference (no letter initially required) ? copies of relevant certificates and grades, and transcripts of records to Prof. Dr. Martin Fertl (jobs-agfertl at uni-mainz.de) (electronic application materials only).

[Overview] by Takashi KOBAYASHI ????????????????????????????????? * Impacts of Electricity cost rise on operation period: Recently electricity costs are skyrocketing and impacting the operation period in FY2022. Already it was announced that the MLF operation will have to be shortened in the latter half of FY2022 as described in the MLF section in this report. MR user operation will also have to be shortened unless an additional supplemental budget will come. We are carefully watching the electricity price trend. * KEK Project Implementation Plan (PIP) 2022 released on June 24, 2022 KEK Project Implementation Plan (PIP) is the plan to realize the research projects which includes ones executed by KEK operating budget and the ones which require new funding requests. Taking into account the recommendations from the KEK scientific advisory committee, the KEK PIP 2022 was released on June 24, 2022 https://www.kek.jp/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/KEK-PIP2022.pdf Among the projects requiring new funding requests, four projects are chosen as high priority. The highest priority is given to the J-PARC Hadron hall extension. The transmission muon microscope at J-PARC MLF is also chosen as one of the four projects. * User?s council held Aug. 1st On Aug. 1st, the first J-PARC user?s council meeting was held in hybrid mode. The committee consists of Japanese representatives from relevant user communities of J-PARC and is chaired by Prof. Toshio Yamaguchi (Fukuoka University). The council was asked to summarize the needs/requests from the user communities and will submit its findings as a document to the J-PARC director. https://kds.kek.jp/event/43086/ (Slides in Japanese sorry.) * Approval of radiation facility modifications by NRA was finally given on Aug. 24th, 187days from the application?s date. We submitted an application for radiation facility modifications to National Radiation Authority (NRA) on Feb. 16, 2022. The application includes MLF H-line, HD C-line, HD power up, and NU power up. Approval is needed to execute the experimental program as planned after the summer shutdown period. The approval came on Aug. 27, 2022, after 187days from the application?s date. After receiving the NRA approval, we need to get approval from local governments, namely Ibaraki prefecture and Tokai village. The prefecture decided to review this modification by the committee for nuclear-power safety measures. It will be held on Oct. 19. The period to get approval from NRA is getting longer and longer and leads to a serious impact on the J-PARC science program. * J-PARC facility open house held fully online on Aug. 27, 2022 J-PARC facility open house was held online on Aug. 27. It is the 3rd time it was held online due to the COVID pandemic. Tokai village Mayor Mr. Yamada kindly visited J-PARC and appeared on the video; the J-PARC director Kobayashi interviewed him. The videos were broadcasted through Youtube and niconico douga (Japanese localized streaming video service). The # of viewers was ~1000 and ~9000, respectively. The recorded videos can be watched through https://j-parc.jp/c/OPEN_HOUSE/2022/. * Prof. Toru Ogitsu, Head and Professor of Cryogenics Science Center, Applied Research Laboratory, KEK, and also a cryogenic section member of J-PARC is awarded the IEEE "Award for Continuing and Significant Contributions in the Field of Applied Superconductivity" https://ieeecsc.org/awards/award-continuing-and-significant-contributions-field-applied-superconductivity for his long contributions to this field including a major contribution to the T2K experiment. He introduced the idea of a super-conducting combined function (SCCF) magnet for the primary proton transport line of the J-PARC neutrino facility. He and his team succeeded to realize the SCCF beamline on schedule which led to the success of the T2K experiments. ???????????????????????????????? 2. [Accelerator Division] by Michikazu KINSHO ????????????????????????????????? OPERATION STATUS OF THE ACCELERATORS The beam operation for the MLF users was completed on Jun 24 as scheduled with high availability (~ 95%). Also, a successful beam circulation in the MR with a new power supply was achieved. The beam operation as an operation run of Run#89, which restarted in May, has been continued until July 20th on schedule. The beam operation for the Materials and Life Science experimental facility (MLF) users was completed on Jun 24 as scheduled with high availability (~ 95%). The beam power for the MLF user program was about 830 kW. After the user operation was completed, a continuous beam test at 1 MW beam power was performed for two days at the linac and RCS. Beam tests were also conducted at MR until July 7. During the 1 MW beam test, continuous operation for the scheduled time was not possible due to the outside temperature of 38 degrees Celsius and the failure of one of the RF cavities in the RCS. High-intensity beam operation under such harsh conditions far exceeded the cooling capacity of the cooling water facility of the RCS. However, it was clear that even under these conditions, the beam could be operated stably with a beam power of 600 kW. The MR beam test was originally scheduled to start on June 1, but due to a delay in the turning of the main magnet power supply, the beam test could not start until June 27. Therefore, the scheduled beam acceleration test could not be performed, but the beam study at the injection energy of 3 GeV was mostly completed as per the scheduled program for fast extraction. The MR beam acceleration test is rescheduled to be performed in the beam test starting in November. The J-PARC accelerator facilities are scheduled to start beam tuning at the linac from the beginning of November. After the tuning of the linac and the RCS, the beam operation for the MLF users will be started in the middle of November. The MR beam study will start almost at the same time. ???????????????????????????????? 3. [Particle and Nuclear Physics Division] ????????????????????????????????? PROGRAM ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING (by Takeshi KOMATSUBARA): The 34th Program Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting was held as a hybrid conference on August 3-5. In the committee, chaired by Dr. Rik Yoshida (Argonne National Laboratory), Both new members whose terms began in April 2022 and old members whose terms were completed in March 2022 participated jointly. The status of the experiments was reported, and prospects for the operation from November were discussed. This time three new proposals were submitted. https://kds.kek.jp/indico/event/43028/ The PAC report will be available through the following web page. http://j-parc.jp/researcher/Hadron/en/PAC_for_NuclPart_e.html The next PAC meeting will be held in January 2023. DETERMINATION OF THE PAULI REPULSION BETWEEN QUARKS IN THE SIGMA+ P INTERACTION (by Koji Miwa and Takuya Nanamura) Thanks to the mysterious balance of attraction and repulsion in the nuclear force, nuclei can exist stably. Understanding the origin of a repulsive force has been a longstanding challenge in the nuclear study. Oka and Yazaki theoretically pointed out that spin-spin interactions and the Pauli repulsions between quarks have important roles to generate the repulsive force. This Pauli repulsion effects can be studied using hyperon proton scatterings. There is an exciting prediction that the quark Pauli repulsion in the Sigma+ proton channel makes the interaction considerably repulsive due to a distinct Pauli forbidden up-quark pair with the same spin and color configuration. The J-PARC E40 experiment was carried out at the K1.8 beam line of the Hadron Experimental facility from 2018 to 2020 to measure differential cross sections of elastic scatterings between Sigma+ and proton. The experiment successfully measured the differential cross sections in the momentum range of 0.44-0.80 GeV/c for Sigma+ with excellent precision of 10% level with a fine angular interval. As a result, the experiment quantitatively determined the size of the quark Pauli repulsion effects for the first time and concluded it was moderately repulsive. Furthermore, the obtained results are consistent with theoretical calculations by Lattice QCD. This result was published recently in Prog. Theor. Exp. Phys. 2022 093D01 and was selected as the editor's choice. https://doi.org/10.1093/ptep/ptac101 TOWARD HIGH-POWER HIGH-PRECISION EXPERIMENT (by Yoshiaki FUJII) Neutrino Experimental Facility, T2K, and SuperKamiokande continue to work hard on improvement of the experimental precision and on higher beam power. Assembly work of the new second electromagnetic horn has been completed, and the excitation test at 320kA has been successfully done. The new target has been made and the installation to the new first horn is in progress. After installation, an excitation test of the first horn will also be carried out. Two-million scintillator cubes for the new detector SuperFGD and its assembly platform have arrived at J-PARC. The structural box of SuperFGD is under test at CERN and will be shipped to J-PARC after the test. Many collaborators are to come to J-PARC for SuperFGD assembly work. VISA applications are on schedule. Disassembling work of the present POD detector will start from October. At SuperKamiokande, additional Gadolinium loading to the water has been completed. Now, the neutron capture efficiency with Gd was increased to 75%. As a result, the neutron detection efficiency is improved by 1.5 times. The T2K collaboration meeting will be held from 10/10 to 10/14, gathering at J-PARC and CERN, with a remote connection between them. We truly hope that all the collaborators can get together at J-PARC in 2023. The JSNS2 experiment at MLF continued the data taking in 2022 and has accumulated 2.56x10^{22} POT so far (26% of approved POT). The data taking will be restarted from the end of JFY2022. The Double-Chooz experiment donated the 190 PMTs to the JSNS2-II experiment. The installation of PMTs for the new far detector of JSNS2-II has been prepared well.

Facility and detector construction work continues; the primary proton beamline apparatus including a target chamber has been installed. A mask system, a movable pin-hole collimator, is installed at the entrance of the transport solenoid for studying the beam transport performance of the curved solenoid magnet. Excitation and quench protection system test of the transport solenoid was successfully done in July. The main detector of COMET for its physics measurement, the Cylindrical Drift Chamber (CDC), has been tested on the Tsukuba campus. After completing the final test of electronics cooling with water, the CDC was transported to J-PARC successfully in September for further conditioning on site. The COMET collaboration members came together in Tokai in July for the 1st time after the last face-to-face meeting in 2019. Members who were not able to join the meeting in person attended this meeting remotely to contribute to the discussion toward the start of COMET Phase-alpha, the engineering run, and Phase-I, the physics run. STATUS OF THE MUON G-2/ ELECTRIC DIPOLE MOMENT (EDM) (E34) (by Tsutomu MIBE) The E34 collaboration aims for precision measurements of the muon anomalous magnetic moment and electric dipole moment. The commissioning of the surface muon beam at the H-line was concluded by confirming the beam intensity, profile, and momentum distributions at the H1area. For further extension of the beamline to the H2 area, the cabling for the control system was completed. The construction of the radiation shields is ongoing. Preparatory works, such as the re-location of the buried cables, and water piping in the area of the H-line of the experimental building are in progress. A task force, formed in 2019 under the J-PARC center, restarted with renewed members to resolve issues associated with the construction of the H-line experimental building. The collaboration continues to develop theexperimental apparatus. Mr. Yuga Nakazawa won second prize in the student poster session on the topic of "High-Power Test of an APF IH-DTL Prototype for the Muon Linac?. ???????????????????????????????? 4. [Materials and Life Science Division] by Toshiya OTOMO ????????????????????????????????? SHORTENED OPERATING SCHEDULE IN 2022B PERIOD: In response to the soaring electricity prices that reflect the recent global situation, J-PARC has reviewed the number of operating days in the 2022B period and has decided to shorten it from the originally planned 4.4 cycles (97.5 days) to 2.4 cycles (53.5 days). (https://mlfinfo.jp/en/announce/220707.html) User operation in the 2022B period will start on November 21st. BEAM OPERATION ENDED SUCCESSFULLY AND MAINTENANCE WORKS ARE GOING ON 1) Neutron Source The beam operation of MLF ended on June 26th with a daily availability of 94.7 % on average since April 1st and the maintenance works during the long outage started. On July 5th, the used mercury target vessel, which was in operation from 2012 to 2014, was transported from MLF to the storage building, which is called RAM building where a total of 5 used target vessels are stored now. The used proton beam window which was replaced in 2020 was cut into pieces for volume reduction by remote handling operation. The remote handling test of the moderator & reflector assembly was carried out using a spare assembly from August 25th to September 12th. Because the operating lifetime of a moderator & reflector assembly is comparatively long, 6 years at 1MW, the last remote handling operation was done more than 10 years ago and the inheritance of technology is very important. The remote handling procedures were checked carefully to handle the actual radioactive used assembly near future. PROPOSALS FOR 2022B ROUND WERE APPROVED 2) Neutron Instruments and Science For the proposal round of 2022B starting in November, 291 proposals have been submitted for neutron general use proposals and 114 proposals have been approved. The Annual Meeting of industrial application for neutron was renewed by adding the JRR-3 facility as well as J-PARC MLF and held as a hybrid meeting on the 14th and 15th of July. The scope of this year is as follows, 1) presenting the status of use of the facility, what the society needs, and required techniques in the industrial field. 2) Showing the technologies (methodologies) that the MLF can provide and their limits. 3) Introducing efforts and contributions to solving the problems on the societal issues like carbon neutrality, digital transformation, and so on. The 11th international workshop on sample environment at scattering facilities (ISSE-WS) was successfully held in person at Nasu Town, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan organized by J-PARC, IMSS-KEK, JAEA, CROSS, The University of Tokyo, Tohoku University, and JASRI from August 28th to September 1st. Over 30 participants from abroad could enter into Japan without any problems and joined the workshop. We had around 90 registrants in total in addition to online attendees. (https://mlfinfo.jp/sp/isse2022/index.html) >From MLF?s recent press release: (1) ?Revisiting the concept of peptide bond planarity in an iron-sulfur protein by neutron structure analysis? https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abn2276 (2) The research report on ?Successful visualization of water molecules in fuel cells on a vehicle using pulsed neutron? https://www.kek.jp/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/pr20220712.pdf(in Japanese) OPERATION OF ALL FOUR MUON BEAMLINES SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED AND CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE WORKS ARE IN PROGRESS 3) Muon Science Facility (MUSE) The H line, which is the last MUSE beamline, started commissioning this January and led a celebratory finish when all four beamlines operated successfully at the end of June. Several issues raised before the summer maintenance will be repaired toward the beam resumption at the end of November. Concerning the muon production target, in the last year?s maintenance, the rotating feeder unit was replaced according to the maker?s recommendation considering the wear and tear. Since then, the turbulence in the motor torque was confirmed, and it was presumed to be due to the misalignment of the joint attached to the feeder unit. We judged that it was difficult to achieve the required high accuracy of the alignment with the hands-on maintenance with wearing the radiation-hard equipment and decided to use a flexible joint with a high tolerance. The new joint was successfully installed at the beginning of August. In the D line, the final focusing magnets of the quadrupole triplet (Q-triplet) and their power suppliers for the D1 area will be replaced with new ones. The existing Q-triplet was designed to focus up to the 30 MeV/c surface muon beam and thus does not allow for a higher momentum beam. Although the surface muon beam is the most widely utilized by users? experiments, the D line can provide a much higher momentum beam more than 100 MeV/c. The existing Q-triplet can only provide a high momentum beam less effectively. An optimized beam will be delivered by the new Q-triplet and new demands are expected to be stimulated. The application for the extension of the H line to the H2 area was submitted to the Nuclear Regulation Authority and accepted on August 24th. In the next step, approval by the nuclear safety council of the surrounding municipalities, is required for the construction to start. In the H2 area, the muon accelerator to 4.3 MeV will be constructed to provide pre-acceleration of ultra-slow muons for the g-2/EDM (the muon anomalous magnetic moment (g-2) and the electric dipole moment) experiment and the transmission muon microscopy. Results in D1 and S1 were presented to the press: ?Li transport observed by negative and positive muons in an anode material for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries?. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.2c02055 The Nishikawa Prize from the Foundation for High Energy Accelerator Science was awarded to Drs. S. Nishimura and S. Kanda, and Prof. K. Shimomura et al. for their ?Rabi-oscillation Spectroscopy in Precise Measurement of Hyperfine Structure of Muonium Atoms?. For the 2022B beam period, the total number of submitted proposals was 57 for the muon general proposals, of which 21 were approved. ???????????????????????????????? 5.

WORKSHOP ON J-PARC PROTON BEAM IRRADIATION FACILITY PLAN AND ESTABLISHMENT OF ITS USER COMMUNITY On July 28th, a workshop on "J-PARC Proton Beam Irradiation Facility Plan and Establishment of Its User Community" was held as an in-person and online hybrid scheme. There were 133 participants, with 14 in-person and 119 online. After addressing the importance of nuclear transmutation and the current status of the facility planning, the needs of the facility were presented from four potential fields, i.e., material damage, semiconductor soft error testing, radioisotope (RI) production for medical applications, and proton beam applications. A user community of the facility was established. As part of its initial activities, the facility requirements from the four fields will be summarized, and a roadmap for the realization of the facility will be developed. A questionnaire survey of participants' areas of interest revealed that they have high expectations for the proton beams available in the facility at J-PARC in many fields in addition to nuclear transmutation. ???????????????????????????????? 6.

The work will be based in the Molecular Biophysics Group within the Biomedical Center (BMC) at the Faculty of Medicine at Lund University, led by Professor Trevor Forsyth. The major focus of the work will be transthyretin amyloidosis (see https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-08609-z/ ). Human transthyretin (TTR) is protein that transports thyroxine and retinol-binding protein (RBP) in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid. Wild-type TTR is intrinsically amyloidogenic, but a large number of TTR mutants have been identified, having remarkable tissue specificities. This project seeks to deepen molecular-level understanding of amyloidosis as well as undertaking detailed comparative studies of amyloid material derived from in vitro and ex vivo sources. It will make extensive use of X-ray and neutron diffraction, cryo-EM, and a wide range of other biophysical techniques. It will make use of the MAX-IV facility in Sweden as well as the ESRF and ILL X-ray/neutron sources in Grenoble, France. The project will have good access to state-of-the-art facilities within the medical, natural science and engineering faculties, as well as being located in close proximity to MAX-IV and ESS, the Science Village located between them, and the LINXS advanced study institute (https://www.linxs.se/). The desired start date is February 1st 2023 or by agreement.

In the GHGapture PhD project, we propose the evaluation of microporous Metal-Organic Framework materials specifically encoded to trap in a highly selective manner hydrophobic GHGs as methane and PF6 from the atmosphere. We will apply a combination of forefront Inelastic and Quasielastic Neutron Scattering (INS and QENS, respectively) and laboratory based characterization protocols (e.g. crystal X-ray diffraction, solid NMR, conventional and fast differential scanning calorimetry and room-pressure/temperature home-made gas adsorption experimental set-ups) to (i) understand the underpinning interactions and mobility of the target gas molecules within these microporous frameworks, and: (ii) evaluate the potentials of the specific functions encoded within MOFs for the direct capture of hydrophobic GHGs. We are seeking for a motivated PhD student in chemistry, physics, engineering or materials science areas. The three-years pre-doctoral project will be developed at the ILL- Institut Laue-Langevin, one of the world?s leading facilities in neutron science & technology, and in close collaboration with the Basque Center for Materials, Applications and Nanostructures (BCMaterials). The student will be jointly supervised by Dr. M?nica Jim?nez-Ruiz (instrument scientist of the neutron vibrational spectrometer IN1-Lagrange) where the student will be introduced into the application of neutron scattering techniques for the characterization of materials, as well as in computational calculations to evaluate the host/guest chemical interactions and the gas mobility in the MOF. In parallel, the student will develop different secondments at the BCMaterials under the supervision of Dr. Roberto Fern?ndez de Luis, leader of the environmental and remediation research area, and Dr. Jos? Mar?a Porro, co-leader of the neutron science research line, in order to develop, characterize and evaluate the performance of MOF materials for the direct capture of hydrophobic GHGs from the atmosphere.
