Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to precisely and accurately determine isotope ratio of helium (3He/4He) filling a time projection chamber developed for neutron lifetime measurement using a pulsed cold neutron spallation source at J-PARC, we improved a noble gas mass spectrometer. Stabilizing magnetic field and optimizing ion optics resulted in 0.08% precision of 3He/4He determination, which satisfies the requirement for neutron lifetime determination better than previous reports. The tritium concentrations of standard water samples provided by IAEA were also determined using the 3He accumulation method to confirm accuracy of 3He/4He measurement with the mass spectrometer.
