Microscopic structure of high-spin vibrational states in superdeformed A=190 nuclei
Microscopic RPA calculations based on the cranked shell model are performed to investigate the quadrupole and octupole correlations for excited superdeformed (SD) bands in even-even A=190 nuclei. The K = 2 octupole vibrations are predicted to be the lowest excitation modes at zero rotational frequency. The Coriolis coupling at finite frequency produces different effects depending on the neutron and proton number of nucleus. The calculations also indicate that some collective excitations may produce moments of inertia almost identical to those of the yrast SD band. An interpretation of the observed excited bands invoking the octupole vibrations is proposed, which suggests those octupole vibrations may be prevalent in even-even SD A=190 nuclei.

Nuclear moments of inertia and wobbling motions in triaxial superdeformed nuclei
The wobbling motion excited on triaxial superdeformed nuclei is studied in terms of the cranked shell model plus random phase approximation. Firstly, by calculating at a low rotational frequency the \gamma-dependence of the three moments of inertia associated with the wobbling motion, the mechanism of the appearance of the wobbling motion in positive-\gamma nuclei is clarified theoretically -- the rotational alignment of the \pi i_{13/2} quasiparticle(s) is the essential condition. This indicates that the wobbling motion is a collective motion that is sensitive to the single-particle alignment. Secondly, we prove that the observed unexpected rotational-frequency dependence of the wobbling frequency is an outcome of the rotational-frequency dependent dynamical moments of inertia.

The role of spin-orbit potential in nuclear prolate-shape dominance
Abstract It is confirmed, in terms of the Woods–Saxon–Strutinsky method, that the spin–orbit potential plays a decisive role in the predominance of prolate deformation, which has been a long standing problem in nuclear physics. It is originated from the combined effects of the spin–orbit coupling and the diffused surface of the potential, in agreement with the previous work based on a more schematic Nilsson–Strutinsky method. The degree of prolate-shape dominance exhibits an oscillatory behavior with respect to the strength of spin–orbit potential and, the prolate-shape dominance is realized at the proper strength of the spin–orbit potential together with the standard surface diffuseness; this oscillatory behavior disappears in case of small diffuseness corresponding to ellipsoidal cavity. The calculated energy differences between oblate and prolate minima in this Letter are consistent with those of our extensive self-consistent calculations of the Hartree–Fock + BCS method with the Skyrme interaction.

Microscopic study of tetrahedrally symmetric nuclei by an angular-momentum and parity projection method
We study the properties of the nuclear rotational excitations with hypothetical tetrahedral symmetry by employing the microscopic mean-field and residual-interaction Hamiltonians with angular-momentum and parity projection method; we focus on the deformed nuclei with tetrahedral doubly-closed shell configurations. We find that for pure tetrahedral deformation the obtained excitation patterns satisfy the characteristic features predicted by group-representation theory applied to the tetrahedral symmetry group. We find that a gradual transition from the approximately linear to the characteristic rigid-rotor, parabolic energy-vs.-spin dependence occurs as a function of the tetrahedral deformation parameter. The form of this transition is compared with the similar well-known transition in the case of quadrupole deformation.

Microscopic Calculation of the Wobbling Excitations Employing the Woods-Saxon Potential as a Nuclear Mean-Field
The wobbling excitations of the triaxial superdeformed (TSD) bands in the Lu and Hf region are studied by the microscopic framework of the cranked mean-field and the randomphase approximation (RPA). In contrast to the previous works, where the Nilsson potential was used, the more realistic Woods-Saxon potential is employed as a nuclear mean-field. It is pointed out that the original formulation should be slightly modified for general meanfield like the Woods-Saxon potential. The wobbling-like RPA solutions have been found systematically in the nuclei studied and their characteristic properties are investigated in detail. This confirms the wobbling phonon excitations in TSD nuclei from the microscopic calculations. The result of B(E2) values indicates that the triaxial deformation is increasing as a function of spin in the observed TSD bands in 163 Lu. Subject Index: 210, 211, 212

Full $\mathcal{O}(\alpha)$ electroweak radiative corrections to $e^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow t \bar{t} \gamma$ with GRACE-Loop
We present the full $\mathcal{O}(\alpha)$ electroweak radiative corrections to the process $e^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow t \bar{t} \gamma$ at the International Linear Collider (ILC). The computation is performed with the help of the GRACE-Loop system. We present the total cross-section and the top quark forward–backward asymmetry (AFB) as a function of the center-of-mass energy and compare them with the process $e^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow t \bar{t}$. We find that the value of AFB in $t \bar{t} \gamma$ production is larger than AFB in $t\bar{t}$ production. It is an important result for the measurement of the top quark forward–backward asymmetry at the ILC. Applying a structure function method, we also subtract the QED correction to gain the genuine weak correction in both the α scheme and the Gμ scheme ($\delta_{W}^{G_{\mu}}$). We obtain numerical values for $\delta_{W}^{G_{\mu}}$ which are changing from 2 % to −24 % when we vary the center-of-mass energy from 360 GeV to 1 TeV.

Precise Numerical Evaluation of the Scalar One-Loop Integrals with the Infrared Divergence
We present a new approach for obtaining very precise integration results for infrared vertex and box diagrams, where the integration is carried out directly without performing any analytic integration of Feynman parameters. Using an appropriate numerical integration routine with an extrapolation method, together with a multi-precision lib rary, we have obtained integration results which agree with the analytic results to 10 digits even for such a very small photon mass as 10 150 GeV in the infrared vertex diagram.

Electroweak corrections to muon pair production in electron-positron annihilation at high energy
Abstract The lowest-order radiative corrections to the reaction e + + e − → μ + + μ − are analyzed in the standard SU(2) × U(1) electroweak theory. The virtual corrections are calculated in the on-shell renormalization scheme. The masses of the recently discovered Z-boson and W-boson are used to fix the weak coupling constants. The decay width of the Z-boson is also taken into account. By including the cross section of hard photon emission, various kinds of distribution are obtained both analytically and numerically. The magnitude of the effective axial vector coupling is confirmed to be quite different from that previously taken in the calculations within QED. This difference, which is due to the genuine electroweak corrections, reaches about 10% in angular distribution at the energy around the Z-boson mass, even if the reasonable effect of a hard photon is included.
