Reaction cross sections (σR) for the neutron-rich nucleus 14B on Be, C, and Al targets have been measured at several energies in the intermediate energy range of 45–120 MeV/nucleon. The present experimental σR show a significant enhancement relative to the systematics of stable nuclei. The nucleon density distribution was deduced through the fitting procedure with the modified Glauber calculation. The necessity of a long tail in the density distribution was found, which is consistent with the valence neutron in 2s1/2 orbital with the small empirical one-neutron separation energy in 14B.

This paper describes a series of development tests carried out when developing a GIS (Gas Insulated Substation) fault location system using pressure wave sensors for a GIS with a main bus in which each gas section per bay is connected by gas piping. This paper also refers to the basic construction of the software of the fault location system actually applied to a GIS with a rated voltage of less than 168kV. Keywords: GIS, Fault location system, Sensor, Pressure wave

This paper describes the results of tests and discussions carried out to develop a system for monitoring partial discharges generated in GIS. They include the propagation characteristics and the mechanisms of partial discharge pulses in the GIS, the results of computer simulation, and the results of comparisons with previous tests to verify the partial discharge locating method.

This paper deals with the results of various insulation fault simulation tests with a 300kV GIS installed in the field. It covers the levels and patterns of partial discharges generated by various faults and levels to be detected in the field.

We have studied the ultrafast magnon dynamics in an antiferromagnetic 3d-transition-metal monoxide, nickel oxide (NiO), using optical pump-probe spectroscopy and terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). THz damped magnon oscillations were observed in the Faraday rotation signal and in the transmitted THz electric field via optical pump-probe spectroscopy and THz-TDS, respectively. The magnon signals were observed in both the optical pump-probe spectroscopy and THz-TDS experiments, which shows that both Raman- and infrared-active modes are included in the NiO magnon modes. The magnon relaxation rate observed using THz-TDS was found to be almost constant up to the Néel temperature T (= 523 K) and to increase abruptly near that temperature. This shows that temperature-independent spin-spin relaxation dominates up to T . In our experiment, softening of the magnon frequency near T was clearly observed. This result shows that the optical pump-probe spectroscopy and THz-TDS have high frequency resolution and a high signal to noise ratio in the THz region. We discuss the observed temperature dependence of the magnon frequencies using three different molecular field theories. The experimental results suggest that the biquadratic contribution of the exchange interaction plays an important role in the temperature dependence of the sublattice magnetization and the magnon frequency in cubic antiferromagnetic oxides.
