• High-pressure xenon gas time projection chamber with scalable design and its performance at around the Q value of 136Xe double-beta decay

  Abstract We have been developing a high-pressure xenon gas time projection chamber (TPC) to search for neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay of 136Xe. The unique feature of this TPC is in the detection part of ionization electrons, called ELCC. ELCC is composed of multiple units, and one unit covers 48.5cm2. A 180L size prototype detector with 12 units, 672 channels, of ELCC was constructed and operated with 7.6bar natural xenon gas to evaluate the performance of the detector at around the Q value of 136Xe 0νββ. The obtained FWHM energy resolution is 0.73+-0.11% at 1836keV. This corresponds to 0.60+-0.03% to 0.70+-0.21% of energy resolution at the Q value of 136Xe 0νββ. This result shows the scalability of the AXEL detector with ELCC while maintaining high energy resolution. Factors determining the energy resolution were quantitatively evaluated and the result indicates further improvement is feasible. Reconstructed track images show distinctive structures at the endpoint of electron tracks, which will be an important feature to distinguish 0νββ signals from gamma-ray backgrounds.

• Direction-sensitive dark matter search with 3D-vector-type tracking in NEWAGE

  Takuya Shimada, Satoshi Higashino, Tomonori Ikeda, Kiseki Nakamura, Ryota Yakabe, Takashi Hashimoto, Hirohisa Ishiura, Takuma Nakamura, Miki Nakazawa, Ryo Kubota, Ayaka Nakayama, Hiroshi Ito, Koichi Ichimura, Ko Abe, Kazuyoshi Kobayashi, Toru Tanimori, Hidetoshi Kubo, Atsushi Takada, Hiroyuki Sekiya, Atsushi Takeda, Kentaro Miuchi

  Abstract NEWAGE is a direction-sensitive dark matter search experiment with a 3D tracking detector based on a gaseous micro time projection chamber. A direction-sensitive dark matter search was carried out at Kamioka Observatory with a total live time of 318.0 days resulting in an exposure of 3.18 kg·days. A new gamma-ray rejection and a head–tail determination analysis were implemented for this work. No significant non-isotropic signal from the directional analysis was found and a 90% confidence level upper limit on a spin-dependent weakly interactive massive particle (WIMP)–proton cross section of 25.7 pb for a WIMP mass of 150 GeV/c2 was derived. This analysis marks the most stringent upper limit in the direction-sensitive dark matter searches.

• ISAI: Investigating Solar Axion by Iron-57

  Tomonori Ikeda, Toshihiro Fujii, Takeshi Go Tsuru, Yuki Amano, Kazuho Kayama, Masamune Matsuda, Hiromu Iwasaki, Mizuki Uenomachi, Kentaro Miuchi, Yoshiyuki Onuki, Yoshizumi Inoue, Akimichi Taketa

  The existence of the axion is a unique solution for the strong CP problem, and the axion is one of the most promising candidates of the dark matter. Investigating Solar Axion by Iron-57 (ISAI) is being prepared as a complemented table-top experiment to confirm the solar axion scenario. Probing an X-ray emission from the nuclear transitions associated with the axion-nucleon coupling is a leading approach. ISAI searches for the monochromatic 14.4 keV X-ray from the first excited state of ^{57}Fe using a state-of-the-art pixelized silicon detector, dubbed XRPIX, under an extremely low-background environment. We highlight scientific objectives, experimental design and the latest status of ISAI.

• Directional direct detection of light dark matter up-scattered by cosmic rays from direction of the Galactic center

  Keiko I. Nagao, Satoshi Higashino, Tatsuhiro Naka, Kentaro Miuchi

  Abstract Dark matter with MeV scale mass is difficult to detect with standard direct search detectors. However, they can be searched for by considering the up-scattering of kinetic energies by cosmic rays. Because the dark matter density is higher in the central region of the Galaxy, the up-scattered dark matter will arrive at Earth from the direction of the Galactic center. Once the dark matter is detected, we can expect to recognize this feature by directional direct detection experiments. In this study, we simulate the nuclear recoils of the up-scattered dark matter and quantitatively reveal that a large amount of this type of dark matter is arriving from the direction of the Galactic center. Also, we have shown that the characteristic signatures of the up-scattered dark matter can be verified with more than 5σ confidence levels for the assumed target atoms and future upgrades to directional detectors.

• First Observation of the MeV Gamma-Ray Universe with Bijective Imaging Spectroscopy Using the Electron-tracking Compton Telescope on Board SMILE-2+

  Abstract MeV gamma-rays provide a unique window for the direct measurement of line emissions from radioisotopes, but observations have made little significant progress since COMPTEL on board the Compton Gamma-ray Observatory (CGRO). To observe celestial objects in this band, we are developing an electron-tracking Compton camera (ETCC) that realizes both bijective imaging spectroscopy and efficient background reduction gleaned from the recoil-electron track information. The energy spectrum of the observation target can then be obtained by a simple ON–OFF method using a correctly defined point-spread function on the celestial sphere. The performance of celestial object observations was validated on the second balloon SMILE-2+ , on which an ETCC with a gaseous electron tracker was installed that had a volume of 30 × 30 × 30 cm³. Gamma-rays from the Crab Nebula were detected with a significance of 4.0σ in the energy range 0.15–2.1 MeV with a live time of 5.1 hr, as expected before launch. Additionally, the light curve clarified an enhancement of gamma-ray events generated in the Galactic center region, indicating that a significant proportion of the final remaining events are cosmic gamma-rays. Independently, the observed intensity and time variation were consistent with the prelaunch estimates except in the Galactic center region. The estimates were based on the total background of extragalactic diffuse, atmospheric, and instrumental gamma-rays after accounting for the variations in the atmospheric depth and rigidity during the level flight. The Crab results and light curve strongly support our understanding of both the detection sensitivity and the background in real observations. This work promises significant advances in MeV gamma-ray astronomy.

• Direction-sensitive dark matter search with the low-background gaseous detector NEWAGE-0.3b”

  NEWAGE is a direction-sensitive dark matter search using a low-pressure gaseous time projection chamber. A low alpha-ray emission rate micro pixel chamber had been developed in order to reduce background for dark matter search. We conducted the dark matter search at the Kamioka Observatory in 2018. The total live time was 107.6 d, corresponding to an exposure of 1.1 kg$\>$d. Two events remained in the energy region of 50–60 keV, which was consistent with the expected background of 2.5 events. A directional analysis was carried out and no significant forward–backward asymmetry derived from the WIMP-nucleus elastic scatterings was found. Thus a 90$\%$ confidence level upper limit on the spin-dependent WIMP-proton cross-section of 50 pb for a WIMP mass of 100 GeV$\>c^{-2}$ was derived. This limit is the most stringent yet obtained from direction-sensitive dark matter search experiments.

  Abstract The first directional dark matter search with three-dimensional tracking with head–tail sensitivity (3D-vector tracking analysis) was performed with a gaseous three-dimensional tracking detector, or the NEWAGE-0.3b’ detector. The search was carried out from 2013 July to 2017 August (Run14 to Run18) at the Kamioka underground laboratory. The total livetime is 434.85 d, corresponding to an exposure of 4.51 kg$\>$d. A 90 % confidence level upper limit on spin-dependent WIMP-proton cross-section of $4.3\times10^{2}$ pb for WIMPs with the mass of 150 GeV$\>c^{-2}$ is obtained.

  Abstract For noble gas Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) in the field of rare event searches, operation of high voltage to generate an electric field is a key point. We designed a new structure of electrodes to shape a strong and uniform drift field without electric discharge, in which electrodes of two different radius are used. We also developed Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier as a high voltage generator inside a pressure vessel. We achieved −30.0 kV output and examined such kind of voltage generator is feasible as a high voltage supplier in a TPC.

• Discrimination of anisotropy in dark matter velocity distribution with directional detectors

  Keiko I. Nagao, Tomonori Ikeda, Ryota Yakabe, Tatsuhiro Naka, Kentaro Miuchi

  Directional detection of dark matter has sensitivity for both recoil energy
  and direction of nuclear recoil. It opens the way to measure local velocity
  distribution of dark matter. In this paper, we study possibility to
  discriminate isotropic distribution and anisotropic one suggested by a N-body
  simulation with directional detector. Numerical simulation is performed for two
  cases according to the detectors, one corresponds to angular histogram and the
  other is energy-angular distribution of the signals. We reveal that the
  anisotropy of velocity distribution can be discriminated at 90% C.L. with
  chi-squared test if O($10^4$) signals are obtained.

• Result and Prospect for Balloon-Borne Experiments of Sub-MeV and MeV Gamma-ray Astronomy using an Electron-Tracking Compton Camera

  We developed the Electron-Tracking Compton Camera (ETCC) with reconstructing the track of a recoil electron in Compton process for both sub-MeV and MeV gamma rays to explore MeV gamma-ray astronomy in space. By adding the direction of a recoil electron to Compton reconstruction method, the direction of the incident gamma ray is determined for each individual photon. Also, an angle between the recoil electron and scattered gamma ray is powerful for the kinematical background-rejection. Since MeV gamma-ray astronomy has suffered from huge background so far, this new method is expected to increase the sensitivity. In the simulation, a 50 cm cubic ETCC would provide about 10 times better sensitivity than that of COMPTEL for one year observation in space. As a first step, we observed diffuse cosmic and atmospheric gamma rays at balloon altitudes with an ETCC consisting of the 10 cm cubic Time Projection Chamber (μ-TPC) and the GSO crystal pixel arrays surrounding the μ-TPC (SMILE-I). This instrument was launched on 1st September, 2006 from the Sanriku Balloon Center, and we successfully carried out about 3-hour observation time at an altitude of 32-35 km, and consequently obtained the both gamma-ray spectra between 0.1 and 1 MeV. In addition, this result indicates that the expected detection sensitivity of a future SMILE experiment between 150 keV and 20 MeV would provide a ten times better sensitivity than those of other missions at around 1 MeV. For the next balloon-borne experiment, we are developing a larger ETCC for detecting sub-MeV gamma rays from celestial point sources such as Crab and Cygnus X-1 during a few hours observation.

• Observation for the celestial sub-MeV and MeV gamma rays by Electron Tracking Compton Camera

  We developed the Electron Tracking Compton Camera (ETCC) with reconstructing the 3-D tracks of the recoil electron in Compton process for both sub-MeV and MeV gamma rays. By measuring both the directions and energies of a scattered gamma ray and a recoil electron, the direction of the incident gamma ray is determined for each individual photon. Also, a residual measured angle between the recoil electron and scattered gamma ray is powerful for the kinematical background-rejection. In order to test the performance of the ETCC for the observation of celestial sub-MeV gamma rays by the balloon- borne experiment, we have constructed the ETCC consisting of the 10 cm cubic Time Projection Chamber (μ-TPC) for 3-D electron tracking and the 6×6×13 mm^3 GSO crystal pixel arrays surrounding the μ-TPC for detecting scattered gamma rays, and also made the balloon-borne instrument to operate the ETCC. This instrument was launched on 1st September, 2006 from Sanriku Balloon Center,and flown during 7 hours. We obtained about 4 hours observation time at the altitude of 32〜35 km.

  We have developed a prototype time-resolved neutron imaging detector
  employing a micro-pattern gaseous detector known as the micro-pixel chamber
  ({\mu}PIC) coupled with a field-programmable-gate-array-based data acquisition
  system. Our detector system combines 100{\mu}m-level spatial and sub-{\mu}s
  time resolutions with a low gamma sensitivity of less than 10^-12 and high data
  rates, making it well suited for applications in neutron radiography at
  high-intensity, pulsed neutron sources. In the present paper, we introduce the
  detector system and present several test measurements performed at NOBORU
  (BL10), J-PARC to demonstrate the capabilities of our prototype. We also
  discuss future improvements to the spatial resolution and rate performance.

  アクシオンは、素粒子標準理論の量子色力学の「強いCP問題」(=強い相互作用において、電荷パリティの反転で対称性の破れが検出されていないこと)の解決策として提唱された未発見の素粒子である。またアクシオンは、銀河の回転速度や宇宙マイクロ波背景放射の観測から存在が確実視されている暗黒物質として十分な量が宇宙初期に生成された可能性も考えられており、アクシオンの発見は素粒子物理学のみならず、宇宙物理学や天文学においても今後の学問の方向性を大きく転換・変革するブレイクスルーとなると考えられている。本研究では、XENON1T 実験から示唆された相互作用の一つであるアクシオンと原子核の相互作用に特化して検証するため、新型ピクセル型シリコン検出器と鉄同位体(原子番号57)を使った極低バックグラウンド環境での太陽アクシオン探査を実施する。 本年度は、主に実験場所の整備とそれぞれの検出器の準備を開始した。まずは、極低バックグラウンドを実現するための恒温槽と、その内部に放射線遮蔽用の鉛を置くための吊り下げ装置を設置した。また、鉛内部に設置するためのリジッドフレキシブル基板による新型ピクセル型X線検出器の実装と動作試験を開始し、この撮像素子と鉄同位体を設置するための無酸素銅による中心部を設計した。次に、その周りを囲む三角シンチレーターを使った飛跡検出型のアクティブシールドの製作を始め、ミューオン通過時の光量を測定した。さらに、環境モニター用の装置の製作を進めており、遠隔操作による定常観測実現へ向けた準備を進めた。


• Migdal effect observation with position-sensitive gaseous detectors

  暗黒物質の直接探索実験は、2相式液体キセノンを用いた大質量検出器が数10GeV以上の質 量で制限を更新してきた。さらに2019年には、「ミダル効果」を用いることで、1GeV程度の低質量暗黒物質まで探索感度を伸ばした。ここで、ミグダル効果は理論的に計算されているが、実験的には未観測の現象である。つまり、今後キセノン検出器で低質量暗黒物質の探索、場合によっては発見の主張を行うためには、ミグダル効果の実証が必要不可欠となる。我々は独自の技術に基づく位置有感ガス検出器「マイクロTPC」を用いることで、ミグダル効果に特徴的な空間的情報を検出可能であることを考案 、中性子照射実験によってミグダル効果の観測について具体的なバックグラウンドを考慮した計算を行った。本提案では、この計算に基づいて、ミグダル効果の初観測を目指す。 ミグダル効果を観測するために、30cm角の位置有感ガス検出器「マイクロTPC」が必要である。2021年度には、30cm角実機の製作準備として30cm角のGEM及びTPCケージ、容器を製作した。また、これらを読み出すためのICの製作、対応する基板を製作した。産業技術総合研究所の中性子ビームを用いた試験を行い、主にビーム環境でのバックグラウンドをを測定した。このバックグラウンド(BG)測定の結果を活かして、2022年度にシールドの設計・試作を行い、マイクロTPCを用いた測定を開始する。 また、分担者の中村を中心として、キセノンガス中でのミグダル効果の観測に向けた基礎試験を進めた。XENONnT実験では、分担者の風間を中心として、XENON実験での暗黒物質探索を行った。分担者の伊部はミグダル効果を含んだ各種暗黒物質理論を進めた。

  総括班としての研究実績であり、直接的な研究活動は行わない。令和三年度は以下の活動を実施した。 1.研究代表者および地下大型実験の代表者が参加する運営会議を12回開催し、運転情報共有や個々の研究へのアドバイス、研究会の企画、協働体制の推進など領域の円滑な運営に努めた。また、内4回は、運営会議メンバーに加えて学術調査官や領域内外の評価者も参加する総括班会議を兼ね、研究の進捗や領域運営についての評価やアドバイスをもらい、運営に反映させた。また、領域の中間評価は、領域活動がそれぞれ評価され、留意事項・参考意見無くA判定であった。 2.領域研究会を2021年5月19日-21日に開催したほか、低温技術研究会6/18、素粒子宇宙論国際シンポジウム8/2-6, 暗黒物質国際シンポジウム11/29-12/2、若手研究会11/25-26、超新星ニュートリノ研究会1/6-7などを開催した。また、低温技術と量子デバイスが連携した新たなセミナーシリーズや、天文専攻とニュートリノ科学研究センターの合同談話会、地球科学と地球ニュートリノとのセミナーシリーズを開始するなど異分野との連携を幅広く開拓した。 3.成果発表、分野関連系、成果の波及のための旅費支援、国際活動のための旅費支援などを行なった。特に、COVID-19で海外渡航が困難である中、海外拠点へは長期派遣することで効率化を図った。また、国内設置の大型プロジェクトでは自動監視の仕組みを進めることで、昼間は日本人が現地で運転し、夜間は海外からリモート監視で運転することで、効率的な運転をおこなった。さらに、比較的小規模な装置を使用するプロジェクトでは、海外の施設を国内にコピーして構築し、遠隔地からアドバイスを得ることで、海外渡航をしなくてもそれぞれの個性を活かして役割分担をしながら研究を推進できるように工夫した。

  NEWAGE実験はガス検出器(μ-PIC)を用いた方向に感度を持つ暗黒物質を行っている。このために、放射性不純物の含有量の少ないμ-PIC（低BGμ-PIC）の開発を代表者の身内が行う。2021年度には、2020年度に製作した30cm角低BGμ-PICの性能評価を詳細に行った。地下実験室では、既存のμ-PICを用い、低閾値化、低バックグラウンド化の改良を施した暗黒物質探索を行い、半年以上のデータを取得した。また、既存のμ-PICによる108日分の観測データを用いて、原子核反跳の三次元飛跡を利用した解析を行った結果の出版(PTEP 2021)、カーボンファイバーによるガス中からのラドン除去に関する論文出版なども行った(JINST2020)。 ガス検出器の深刻なBGである放射性同位体ラドン低減のために、分担者の小川が、吸着剤（モレキュラーシーブス, MS）を用いたラドン除去システムを開発している。2021年度には、英国シェフィールド大との共著論文を出版した(JINST2021)。また2020年度までに製作したものよりも低BGなMSの製作のため、材料の選択、製法の見直しを行った。また、ラドンBG・吸着の測定システムの運用を開始した。 NEWSdm 実験は、固体検出器（原子核乾板）を用いた方向に感度を持つ暗黒物質を行っている。このために読み取り装置の高感度化・高速化を分担者の中が行っている。2021年度には、東邦大学にプラズモン共鳴による事象解析に特化した読み取りシステムを構築した。また、イタリアの現地研究者と協力し、グランサッソ国立研究所での地下実験環境におけるバックグラウンドの理解を目的とした観測実験、ならびにsub-MeV帯の中性子の測定を目的とした観測実験を実施した。


• Development of a Dark Matter Detector with Fluorine

  暗黒物質直接探索は、液体キセノンを用いた実験が感度を飛躍的に向上させている。一方、スピンに依存した反応に注目するとキセノンよりもフッ素が有利に働 き、PICOと呼ばれるフッ素を含むバブルチェンバー（エネルギー情報を取得できない閾値型検出器）を用いた実験も感度をのばしている。知名度としては液体キ セノンを用いた実験が上だが、数年以内にPICO実験によって暗黒物質発見の示唆がなされる可能性もある。こうした場合には、フッ素を含み、大質量が可能かつエネルギー情報を 取得可能な実験による検証が必要であるが、現在こうした検出器の開発は世界的に行われていない。本提案は、気体として発光及び電離電子の検出が実証されて いるCF4ガスを液化し、大質量検出器として用いるための基礎研究を行い、暗黒物質検出器としてのデモンストレーションを行う。キセノンの例では液化による発光量の変化はないなど、液化CF4が検出器として動作する可能性は十分ある一方で、検出器としての性能評価が行われていない、萌芽的な研究である。 本研究では、フッ素を含む大質量検出器の有力な材料として液化CF4(沸点145K)に着目、その性質を研究する。液体希ガス検出器としてキセノン（沸点165K）が用いられているが、CF4に関しては検出器としての性能はこれまで調べられていない。本研究では、過去に報告のない液化CF4の発光量を測定することを第一の目的とする。令和3年度には、光電子増倍管を2ケ用いた実験装置に気体のCF4を導入し、60keVのガンマ線を用いて光量を観測した結果を定量的に解析し、低温で光量が増加することを確認、論文として発表した。また、この結果を踏まえて、CF4を液化するための次期測定装置を設計、製作した。


• Enhancing the direct search for dark matter in the XENON nT experiment with a water Cerenkov neutron detector

  Despite COVID-19 related restrictions great progress was made towards starting the XENONnT experiment at LNGS in Italy. The liquid xenon time projection chamber was filled with liquid xenon, and its water Cherenkov muon detector shield and the neutron veto were filled with pure water. Commissioning of the full XENONnT detector started in this configuration at the end of FY2020. In January and February PI Kai Martens worked onsite at LNGS with our European colleagues to commission the neutron veto: All photomultiplier tube signals and FADC channels were checked and debugged with the help of the neutron veto's LED calibration system. After this pulser driven LED calibration system itself was brought into operation and tuned, a preliminary nVeto calibration with 2.6 MeV gamma rays from 208Tl was performed with a 232Th source; the results align with our expectations and projections for the neutron veto efficiency. The main purpose of PI Kai Martens's trip were onsite preparations for the installation of the Kamioka technology based gadolinium water purification system in the summer of 2021; these onsite preparations were successfully concluded and we expect the installation to proceed without delay this summer. Our Japanese group also got involved with the analysis of XENON1T data, and two of our senior members were elected to serve on the XENON collaboration's editorial board; please see the list of publications with neutron veto member authorship later in this report.

  International collaboration among world underground laboratories has been developed aiming at the large synergies of sharing the common technologies. Concerning the search for dark matter in which international unification is occurring, Japanese team decided to join the foreign project bringing the technologies developed in this innovative area. Concerning the directional measurement of dark matter, Kamioka underground laboratory serves as a world-wide hub of its developmental efforts. As for the future innovative technology of scintillating bolometers, scintillation crystal technology in our area and bolometer technology in Korea can be combined and cooperative development has been started. These cooperative work on the basis of common technologies will secure the continuous leadership in the field of underground particle and nuclear research.

  In this activity, the experimental projects located at Kamioka underground have cooperated on the common basis of ultra-low radioactivity techniques and science among them has been bridged by particle cosmology theories aiming at revealing the history of the universe. We have successfully promoted varieties of close collaborations through the frequent operational/executive meetings. At the same time, the newly defined our science area, originally spread in diverse fields, has organized common technologies and interests. Consequently, mobility and career path of young researchers have been increased. We have held many domestic/international conferences with new events such as tutorial and panel discussion and we developed many collaborations and interdisciplinary researches within/beyond our innovative area.

  Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Osaka University, 01 Apr. 2014 - 31 Mar. 2018

  In this research, we developed a high energy resolution detector which is very important for neutrino-less double beta decay search. The scintillating bolometer with undoped calcium fluoride scintillation crystal containing 48Ca isotope, which has the highest Q value among double beta decay isotopes, was used. The crystal was cooled down to an extremely low temperature of 10 mK. We developed a method to simultaneously detect scintillation light in addition to heat quantity. Compare the signal intensities of both light and heat, types of particles can be identified. It was succeeded for the first time to realize the scintillating bolometer detector using the undoped calcium fluoride crystals during the research period. This achievement is an important step toward future high-sensitivity, large-scale neutrino-less double beta decay study using 48Ca isotope.

  In directional detection of dark matter, not only recoil energy but also dark matter direction are expected to be detected. Some N-body simulation of dark matter suggest that the dark matter velocity distribution has anisotropic component. Directional detector is suitable to verify the anisotropy. By investigating data of Monte-Carlo simulation of dark matter scattering, we find that about O(10000) event number is required to check the anisotropy for both gas and solid directional detector.

  The new MPGD with resistive electrodes using sputtered carbon (DLC) has been developed. Spark reduction in short gaps between anode and cathode was realized by resistive electrodes. The prototype of MSGC-type MPGD has been developed for estimating the limitation of fine structure of DLC electrodes on PCB technology. After that, prototype of Micro-Pixel chamber with resistive cathode with DLC has been developed and tested. Besides, using multi-layer PCB technology, HV bias resisters and readout AC coupling capacitors are included inside readout PCB compactly. Then very compact readout from u-PIC type detector has been realized. The operation test shows good performances with fine position resolution.

  Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), High Energy Accelerator Research Organization, 01 Apr. 2013 - 31 Mar. 2016

  We developed pixel detectors based on wide gap semiconductor materials(i.e. diamond and silicon carbide) for light dark matter search. The wide gap semiconductor containing carbon improves the sensitivity for light dark matter search. The electrode size of the detectors is about 100um x 100um. The detector shows two or three orders of magnitudes leakage reduction compared to a silicon pixel detector, and the detector capacitance of the diamond pixel is one half the silicon pixel detector. We confirmed developed pixel detectors have enough S/N for our purpose. In order to evaluate the detectors low noise front-end integrated circuit is developed.The equivalent noise charge(ENC) is less than 100 electron which satisfies S/N for our evaluation of the detectors.

  Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Kobe University, 01 Apr. 2012 - 31 Mar. 2015

  We have developed a high-sensitivity radon detector (80L detector) to assay reaming radon in purified rare gases. We have lowered background level of the 80L detector. The achieved background level of the 80L detector is 0.81±0.08 (count/day). This level is about 1/3 of that of the previous radon detector. The basic performances are obtained in Ar gas and in Xe gas. This will enable us to apply the 80L detector to a dark matter search experiment with rare gas and so on. In a dark matter search experiment, XMASS, a real-time measurement device to assay radon in purified water is newly developed in this research, then started its operation.

  We know that there exists unknown matter in the universe called dark matter that amounts 5 to 6 times more than the ordinary matter. However, we do not know what they are. There are varieties of candidates for dark matter. Some interact with the ordinary matter and kick out the nucleus and some emit gamma rays when they hit the target material of the detector. Our detector, using 835 kg of liquid xenon as a target material has a characteristics of having very low energy threshold and the ability to detect e/gamma events as well as nuclear recoils. Therefore we are able to make high sensitive searches for low mass dark matter and a new type of dark matter that emits gamma rays. After the observation lasted more than one year, we could not find dark matter, but set very stringent limits for those candidates. We have also demonstrated that we are able to make the detector bigger and be able to achieve much higher sensitive searches in future.

  Micro pattern gas detector has became more popular than wire chamber in the charged particle detection. This movement request us to improve corresponding readout system which allow more precise detection. We develop a new pixel readout CMOS chip which consists of 20x20 pixels including ADC, TDC and TOT digital processing in each 200μm x 200μm pixel. Heavy ion irradiation with MPGD amplification provides clean track signal and good spatial resolution better than 100microns.

  We performed a direction-sensitive dark matter search experiment with a three-dimensional gaseous tracking device "micro-TPC". We installed our detector in a underground laboratory and performed a dark matter search experiment. We obtained a limit five times better than the one we got in a surface laboratory (published as Physics Letters B 686(2010)11). Then we upgraded the detector to improve the sensitivity by one order of magnitude.

  今年度は、昨年度に引き続きフッ化マグネシウム窓にCsI光電面を蒸着した透過型光電面を用いた光検出器の性能評価を行った。ガス増幅部に関しては、昨年度の経験からガスの劣化を招かず、フレームに取り付けやすくするため、あらかじめ穴の開いたGEMを開発し導入した。増幅率は200000倍を達成し、昨年度よりさらに10倍にすることができた。これにより原理的に一光電子を検出可能な光検出器が実現した。長期安定性に関しては、エキシマランプを用い、真空紫外光を光電面に照射し、プラズマ放電の周波数と一致した出力を記録することで、一年間光電面が劣化することなく、光検出器として動作することを確認した。そして、光検出器としての評価を行うための真空紫外光光源としてNdをドープしたフッ化ランタン(Nd:LaF3)結晶シンチレーターに着目し、まず光源としての性能を評価した。この結晶は光量は少ないものの、中心発光波長173nmのシンチレーション光を出すことが分かっていた。既存の真空紫外光に感度がある光電子増倍管を用い、Nd:LaF3にアメリシウム241からの5.5MeVのα線を照射した際の光量を求めたところ、1MeV(ガンマ線相当)あたり100光子の発光をであり、光検出器評価用としては最適な微弱真空紫外光源となることを確認した。そして、実際にこの光源を開発した光検出器にとりつけ、シンチレーション光を測定した。3光電子程度のピークを検出することに成功し、実際に一光電子をとらえる能力のあることを示した。透過型CsI光電面の量子効率が2%であることも確認し、当初の設計通りの光検出器として完成した。今後の研究は反射型光電面導入による量子効率の向上を中心にすすめていく方針である。また、より発光量の多い結晶と組み合わせたX線イメージング検出器としての応用の可能性があり、東北大、京都大のグループと共同研究を行っていくこととなった。

  日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 特定領域研究, 京都大学, 2006 - 2007

  平成19年度の研究では、(1)京大タンデムを用いたマイクロTPC性能評価実験のための基礎実験(2)神岡地下実験室でのマイクロTPCの長期安定動作およびバックグラウンド測定を行った。 (1)電気分解法によって製作したTiDターゲットを京大タンデムにて重陽子ビームに照射、ターゲット中の重水素(D)と反応して、中性子とヘリウム3原子核を生成、ヘリウム3原子核をシリコン検出器で検出、中性子をマイクロTPCに照射することを目的としている。重陽子ビームの加速電圧、ターゲットの作成方法を変更しながら合計9度のビーム試験を行い、真空槽外部に設置した中性子検出器との同時計測によって真空槽内部に設置したシリコン検出器でエネルギースペクトルを取得した。この結果、平成18年度に設置した重陽子ビームの減速材(75マイクロメートル厚のアルミニウム)が背景事象の源となることが判明した。減速材を取り除いて2.5メガ電子ボルトに加速した重陽子ビームをターゲットに直射することで、シリコン検出器と中性子検出器の同時計測率が上昇、エネルギーの定まった中性子を用いたマイクロTPC較正への基礎となった。 (2)30cm角マイクロTPCを用いて、神岡地下実験室での長期測定及びバックグラウンド測定をを行った。平成19年1月に神岡地下実験室に装置を設置、月に1,2度のメンテナンスを除いて無人運転を行い、安定したデータ取得を実現した。更に宇宙からの放射線バックグラウンドが低い条件下での観測をおこなったことで、検出器内部のバックグラウンドを調査、得られたエネルギースペクトル、時間変化とシミュレーション結果を合わせることで、検出器構成物質の放射性不純物が現在のバックグラウンドの主であることが判明した。

  平成18年度の研究では、平成17年度までに製作した30cm角マイクロTPCの(1)基礎評価(2)暗黒物質検出器としての詳しい性能評価、(3)地上実験室での暗黒物質探索実験、(4)地下実験の開始、を行った。 (1)平成17年度までに製作した30cm角マイクロTPCに標準的なアルゴン+エタンの混合ガスを封入、エネルギー分解能、位置分解能などの性能評価を行い、結果を平成18年7月にイタリア・ピサで行われた第八回放射線検出器国際会議(IWORID8)にて口頭発表した。 (2)標準的なガスでの基礎評価を終えた30cm角マイクロTPCに、暗黒物質探索実験で使用するCF_4ガスを0.2気圧で封入、暗黒物質探索のための詳しい性能評価を行った。具体的には、上記測定に加えて長期安定性、絶対検出効率の測定、検出効率の飛跡方向依存性、ガンマ線事象の排除カ、を測定した。この結果、暗黒物質探索実験に十分な性能を有する検出器であることが示され、結果を第六回暗黒物質検出国際会議(IDM2006)にて口頭発表した。この会議では同様な手法を用いて研究を進めている英国グループの発表もあった。本科研費の開始した平成16年の同会議(IDM2004)では英国グループにリードされていたが2年間の研究で英国グループの有する検出器の性能を上回る検出器を完成させたことが判明した。 (3)完成した30cm角マイクロTPCを用いて、地上実験室での暗黒物質探索実験を行った。地上であるために中性子バックグラウンドによって暗黒物質への感度が制限されているが、方向に感度を持つ手法としてはじめて暗黒物質と通常の物質との反応率に対して制限をつけた。この結果を論文としてまとめ、Physics Letters B誌に投稿した。 (4)30cmマイクロTPCを平成19年1月に東京大学宇宙線研究所神岡宇宙粒子地下実験室に設置、宇宙からの放射線バックグラウンドが低い条件下での観測を開始した。

  The Compton Camera which can directly detect the incident direction of gamma-ray does not need the collimator in principle. This camera is very efficient and high sensitive because it can utilize the information of gamma-ray from various directions. We applied Compton effects for nuclear medicine field and developed a new-type gamma camera which omits the shielding around the collimator and detector. We have realized both full ray-tracing and the background rejection for MeV and sub-MeV gamma-ray imaging by detecting the direction of the scatted electron in Compton process. The Compton camera is consisted of two detectors. Incident gamma-ray is scattered in the first (scatter) detector by Compton scattering. This detector takes the recoil electron energy. Our system utilizes a gas chamber as the first detector and the track of the recoil electron was detected with a flat detector placed on the edge of the gas chamber. The scattered gamma-ray is stopped in the second (absorb) detector. The second detector takes the energy and position of scattered gamma-ray. Using above energy and position information, the Compton gamma-ray camera is able to reconstruct the incident gamma-ray direction as cylindrical direction. What is important is that this system does not need the collimator. It enables the wide energy dynamic range and wide FOV.

  我々は18年度に10cm角電子飛跡検出型コンプトンカメラを搭載した気球実験を行い、宇宙拡散ガンマ線および大気2次ガンマ線のサブMeV領域での検出実験を行い、良質のデータを取ることに成功した。18年度に荒いデータ解析は終了したが、実験精度、特に宇宙線による大気からのガンマ線雑音、大気による吸収などを正確にシミュレーションするため、シミュレーションの改良を中心に行った。特に精度向上のため気球搭載装置を実験室で再度動作させ、装置のレスポンスをシミュレーションで精度良く再現できる要調整作業を行った。また大気構造なども精度よくシミュレーションに取り入れることで、今回世界で初めて数十keVから十MeV付近までの広いエネルギー範囲での大気ガンマ線シミュレーションに成功、今までの計算、シミュレーションなどともスペクトル、および天頂角分布に対して良い一致が得られた。このように信頼性のあるシミュレーションを完成させた。またこのシミュレーションによりデータ解析も改良され検出ガンマ線を約2倍に増やすことが出来た。またこのシミュレーションにより検出器細部の動作を再現することが可能となり、今後の改善点が明確になるようになった。今、これらの成果をまとめている。また地上での30x30x30cmのTPCおよびGSOピクセルカメラを組み合わせた大型カメラの製作も終了し、300keV-900keVの範囲でガンマ線再構成に成功した。
