Professor Yoshié Otake is the team Leader of Neutron Beam Technology Team, RAP, as well as the president of
Technology
Research Association Neutron next generation System, T-RANS. She had conducted search for neutron EDM with
crystal
technique and neutron interferometry research at ILL and Kyoto Univ., became a RIKEN researcher from 1996. She
started
developing accelerator-driven compact neutron sources (CANS) from 2009, and concentrate on the development and
up-grade
of RANS (RIKEN accelerator-driven compact neutron source) as team leader and successfully developed neutron
scattering
imaging techniques and salt detection in the large scale structures for non-destructive observation of such
infrastructures as bridges, highways. Currently, RANS, RANS-II are operational, RANS-III and RANS-μ are under
development. Some of her recent awards include The Academic Award of the Japanese Society for Neutron Science
(The 22nd
Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Neutron Science, Awarded, October 26, 2022), “Development of
Nondestructive
Inspection Techniques for Infrastructure Structures Using Cf and Compact Accelerator Neutron Sources,” Grand
Prize (18th
Radiation Process Symposium Poster Session, November 16, 2021), and Annual Paper Encouragement Award: “Neutron
Imaging
Study of the Influence of Blast Furnace Slag Powder on Moisture Penetration Properties in Concrete,”
(Proceedings of the
Japan Concrete Institute, Vol. 43, No. 1, July 7-9 (2021) pp. 101-106, July 7, (2021)).
