Laser-cooled radioactive francium factory at CYRIC
Abstract A factory of laser-cooled francium (Fr) atoms is being developed to search for the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron. The factory has achieved the production of Fr ions of 9 × 10 5  particles/s and transport with a transmission efficiency of 2%. In pilot experiments, the magneto-optical trapping of rubidium (Rb) has been performed using a new ion-to-atom converter. To achieve the Fr trap, the development and design of each of the factory’s components are in progress.

Forward physics with the LHCf experiment: a LHC contribution to cosmic-ray physics
LHCf is a small detector installed at LHC accelerator to measure neutral par- ticle flow in the forward direction of proton - proton (p - p) and proton - nucleus (p - A) interactions. Thanks to the optimal performance that has characterized the last years' running of the LHC collider, several measurements have been taken since 2009 in differ- ent running conditions. After data taking for p - p interactions at √ s = 900 GeV, 2.76 TeV and 7 TeV and proton - Lead nucleus (p - Pb) at √ sNN = 5.02 TeV (energy of a couple of projectile and target nucleons in their center of mass reference frame), LHCf is now going to complete its physics program with the 13 TeV p - p run foreseen in 2015. The com- plete set of results will become a reference data set of forward physics for the calibration and tuning of the hadronic interaction models currently used for the simulation of the atmospheric showers induced by very high energy cosmic rays. For this reason we think that LHCf is giving an important contribution for the study of cosmic rays at the highest energies. In this paper the experiment, the published results and the current status are reviewed.

LHCf plan for p-Pb forward particle measurement
LHCf is planning to measure very forward particle emission in the LHC p-Pb collisions foreseen at the end of 2012. The measurement is expected to constrain the nuclear effect in the forward particle emission relevant to the CR-Air interaction. Model discrimination power of this measurement is presented together with some detail in technical feasibility.

Shallow and diffuse spin-orbit potential for proton elastic scattering from neutron-rich helium isotopes at 71 MeV/nucleon
Vector analyzing powers for proton elastic scattering from 8He at 71 MeV/nucleon have been measured using a solid polarized proton target operated in a low magnetic field of 0.1 T. The spin-orbit potential obtained from a phenomenological optical model analysis is found to be significantly shallower and more diffuse than the global systematics of stable nuclei, which is an indication that the spin-orbit potential is modified for scattering involving neutron-rich nuclei. A close similarity between the matter radius and the root-mean-square radius of the spin-orbit potential is also identified.

Full one-loop electroweak radiative corrections to single photon production in e+e-
Abstract Large-scale calculations for the radiative corrections required for the current and future collider experiments can be done automatically using the GRACE-LOOP system. Here several results for e + e - → 3-body processes are presented including e + e - → e + e - H and e + e - → ν ν ¯ γ .

New results from GRACE/SUSY at 1-loop
We discuss the physical importance of the 1-loop correction for several supersymmetric processes. The on-shell renormalization scheme in the framework of the MSSM is adopted and 1-loop amplitudes are full-automatically calculated with GRACE system. The system GRACE/SUSY is checked by the independence on the nonlinear gauge parameters.

Results from GRACE/SUSY at one-loop
We report the recent development on the SUSY calculations with the help of GRACE system. GRACE/SUSY/1LOOP is the computer code which can generate Feynman diagrams in the MSSM automatically and compute one-loop amplitudes in the numerical way. We present new results of various two-body decay widths and chargino pair production at ILC (international linear collider) at one-loop level.

Squark flavor mixing and CP asymmetry of neutral B mesons at LHCb
Abstract The CP violation of the neutral B meson is the important phenomenon to search for the new physics. The like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry observed by the D O Collaboration indicates the CP-violating new physics in the B s – B ¯ s mixing. On the other hand, LHCb observed the CP-violating asymmetry in B s 0 → J / ψ ϕ and B s 0 → J / ψ f 0 ( 980 ) , which is consistent with the SM prediction. However, there is still room for new physics of the CP violation. The CKMfitter has presented the allowed region of the new physics parameters taking account of the LHCb data. Based on these results, we discuss the effect of the squark flavor mixing on the CP violation in the B d and B s mesons. We predict asymmetries in the non-leptonic decays B d 0 → ϕ K S , B d 0 → η ′ K 0 , B s 0 → ϕ ϕ and B s 0 → ϕ η ′ .
