Results of the Excitation Test of the LHD Helical Coils Cooled by Subcooled Helium
Large helical device, the largest superconducting stellarator, has been operated for the research of fusion plasma since 1998. The toroidal field of almost 3 T is produced by a pair of pool-cooled helical coils, in the innermost layers of which a normal-zone had been induced several times at the bottom of the coil at higher currents than 11.0 kA. Since the field is not the highest there, the local cooling conditions are probably deteriorated by bubbles gathered by buoyancy. In order to improve the cryogenic stability by subcooling, an additional cooler with two-stage cold compressors was installed at the inlet of the coil in 2006. The inlet and outlet temperatures of the coils were successfully lowered to 3.2 K and 3.8 K, respectively, with a mass flow of 50 g/s. In spite of a half charging rate to reduce AC losses, a normal-zone was induced near the top of the coil at 11.45 kA. It propagated to one side and stopped near the inner equator, where the field is the highest. In comparison with the stability tests with a model coil, the local temperatures of the innermost layers near the top is considered to have been raised up to almost the saturated temperature of 4.4 K by charging. The excitation method was revised to waiting cool-down at 11.0 kA, and the excitations up to 11.5 kA have been attained
Backward-angle photoproduction of mesons on the proton at = 1.5--2.4 GeV
Differential cross sections and photon beam asymmetries for
photoproduction have been measured at = 1.5--2.4 GeV and at the
scattering angles, --1 cos --0.6. The
energy-dependent slope of differential cross sections for -channel
production has been determined. An enhancement at backward angles is found
above = 2.0 GeV. This is inferred to be due to the -channel
contribution and/or resonances. Photon beam asymmetries have been obtained for
the first time at backward angles. A strong angular dependence has been found
at 2.0 GeV, which may be due to the unknown high-mass resonances.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures, submitted to PL
Near-threshold Lambda(1520) production by the gamma p -> K+Lambda(1520) reaction at forward K+ angles
Differential cross sections and photon-beam asymmetries for the gamma p -> K+
Lambda(1520) reaction have been measured with linearly polarized photon beams
at energies from the threshold to 2.4 GeV at 0.6<cos(theta)<1. A new bump
structure was found at W=2.11 GeV in the cross sections. The bump is not well
reproduced by theoretical calculations introducing a nucleon resonance with
J<=3/2. This result suggests that the bump might be produced by a nucleon
resonance possibly with J>=5/2 or by a new reaction process, for example an
interference effect with the phi photoproduction having a similar bump
structure in the cross sections.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, published in Phys. Rev. Let
Measurement of the Reaction at Backward Angles
Cross sections for the have been measured at
backward angles using linearly polarized photons in the range 1.50 to 2.37 GeV.
In addition, the beam asymmetry for this reaction has been measured for the
first time at backward angles. The was detected at forward angles in
the LEPS spectrometer via its decay to and the K^+ was inferred using
the technique of missing mass. These measurements, corresponding to kaons at
far backward angles in the center-of-mass frame, complement similar CLAS data
at other angles. Comparison with theoretical models shows that the reactions in
these kinematics provide further opportunities to investigate the reaction
mechanisms of hadron dynamics.Comment: 6 figures, submitted to PRC rapid communication
Forward coherent -meson photoproduction from deuterons near threshold
Differential cross sections and decay asymmetries for coherent -meson
photoproduction from deuterons were measured for the first time at forward
angles using linearly polarized photons at = 1.5-2.4 GeV. This
reaction offers a unique way to directly access natural-parity Pomeron dynamics
and gluon exchange at low energies. The cross sections at zero degrees increase
with increasing photon energy. The decay asymmetries demonstrate a complete
dominance of natural-parity exchange processes, showing that isovector
unnatural-parity -meson exchange is small. Nevertheless the deduced cross
sections of -mesons from nucleons contributed by isoscalar t-channel
exchange processes are not well described by the conventional Pomeron model.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures. Final published versio
