JASMIN Results and Plans JASMIN (Japanese-American Study of MuonInteractions and Neutron detection) Collaboration -Contents- 1. Chemical Analysis of Gas at AP0 target station 2. Chemical Analysis of Cooling water from AP0 and NuMI 3. Activation experiments in NuMI for muon-induced nuclear reactions
Concrete shielding Air gap Iron shielding 120 GeV proton target room Inconel target 1. Chemical Analysis of Gas at AP0 target station # Collection of radioactive aerosols from the AP0 target vault using Impactor method # Separation of radioactive aerosols into several samples according to particulate size ranging from 0.056 to 10 mm Anti-proton target station (AP0)→ Ave. beam current: 250-290 nA To know particle size of those radioactive aerosols →For the radiation control purposes, especially for evaluating the internal exposure of the workers.

Study of colloid formation in cooling-waters (Experiments in Feb. 2010, Dec. 2010, and Sep. 2011) Five Major IMPORTANT Results (1) radiocolloid formation rates in the cooling waters are significantly high, (2) radiocolloid formation rate depends on the cooling water system, (3) remaining rate of Be-7 in the cooling-water depend on water purification system, (4) radiocolloid takes positive charge, (5) weak retention of colloid with cation-exchange resin was observed.

Study of muon-induced nuclear reactions at NuMI Three Major IMPORTANT Results (1) split muon beam came into the NuMI absorber hall, (2) nucleus excitation by muon is similar to by real photon (see Figs.1 and 2), (3) a reaction channel that have not been observed in bremsstrahlung-induced reaction was observed in muon-induced Au spallation (see Fig. 3).
