Test results of a single aperture 10 tesla dipole model magnet for the Large Hadron Collider
A single aperture dipole magnet has been developed with a design magnetic field of 10 tesla by using Nb-Ti/Cu conductor to be operated at 1.8 K in pressurized super fluid helium, The magnet features double shell coil design by using high keystone Rutherford cable and compact non-magnetic steel collars to be adaptable in split/symmetric coil/collar design for twin aperture dipoles. A design central magnetic field of 10 tesla has been successfully achieved in excitation at 1.95 K in pressurized superfluid helium. Test results of the magnet with a summary of the design and fabrication are presented.

The TOPAZ inner drift chamber
We have constructed a cylindrical drift chamber with anode and cathode delay-line readouts, which is the innermost tracking device of the TOPAZ detector. This inner drift chamber (IDC) is used for the tracking of charged particles in both rφ and rz planes. Fast track-finding logics have been developed for the event triggering. We describe the design, the construction and the performances of the IDC in the first beam run.

Development of a 56 mm aperture superconducting dipole model magnet for LHC
A 56 mm single aperture superconducting dipole model magnet, which is one of the frameworks of the LHC collaboration between KEK and CERN, has been developed. A central field of 8.65 T is provided at a load line ratio of 90% with a 5 block coil wound with NbTi superconducting cables. The magnet has a straight section of 0.8 m and a total length of 1.2 m. The distinctive features of the magnet are a magnetically symmetrical configuration being applicable to the twin aperture magnet and mechanical consideration sharing the magnetic forces with a high manganese steel collar and a horizontally split iron yoke. The magnet showed almost no training at 4.4 K. The first quench current at 1.8 K was 91% of the short sample I/sub c/ and the magnet reached a central magnetic field of 8.8 T. Finally it could be excited with the current of more than 99% of the short sample limit which corresponds to a central field of 9.63 T.

Experimental observations of the ion-related coupled bunch instability in a bunch train in TRISTAN AR
An experiment was carried out in TRISTAN AR for the search of the fast beam-ion instability (FBII). A train of 100 bunches with 2 ns spacing was stored with the help of the transverse bunch feedback system. The nitrogen gas was intentionally leaked into the inside of the vacuum duct to enhance the ion effect. The oscillation patterns were recorded by the beam position monitor system which is capable of storing the transverse position of every bunch up to 1600 turns. The spectra of the bunch oscillations were also measured by a spectrum analyzer. This paper describes the results of the experiment and also discusses the possible explanation of them in terms of the FBII.

Direct electron acceleration by stochastic laser fields in the presence of self-generated magnetic fields.
A simple direct acceleration model is proposed, taking into account the stochastic phase disturbance of the coherent driving laser fields. A relativistic single particle simulation shows that plasma electrons are efficiently accelerated far above the ponderomotive energy. The energy and momentum distributions of the accelerated electrons are derived to examine the effects of the self-generated magnetic field on the characteristics of the electron beams. In addition to the beam collimation effect, the magnetic field is found to further enhance the electron acceleration, resulting in the generation of ultrahigh energy electrons.

Resonant Excitation of Disk Oscillations in Two-Armed-Deformed Disks and Application to High-Frequency QPOs
In previous papers we showed that in one-armed deformed disks, p-mode and g-mode oscillations are resonantly excited by horizontal resonance, and applied it to high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) observed in lowmass X-ray binaries. In that model, the observed time variation of kHz QPOs is regarded as being the result of a timedependent precession of the deformation. In this paper we consider another possible cause of the time variation of kHz QPOs. That is, we demonstrate that in two-armed deformed disks, p-mode and g-mode oscillations are excited by a vertical resonance, not by a horizontal resonance (horizontal resonance dampens them). Furthermore, we show that in the case of a vertical resonance, the frequencies of excited disk oscillations can vary with time if the vertical disk structure changes with time. A brief application of these results to the time variation of observed kHz QPOs is discussed.

Application of Electrochemical Buffing onto Niobium SRF Cavity Surface
Niobium electropolishing for SRF cavities are generally considered to be the best technology today. However, hydrofluoric and sulfuric acid mixture usually used in the EP process is harmful and requires us carefully controlled handling of it and the many additional facilities. In this article, we propose a new application of electrochemical buffing (ECB) to niobium SRF cavity. In the method of ECB, a rotating disk with abrasive fine particles where electrolyte is supplied is pressed against the workpiece. The disk and the work function as a cathode and an anode, respectively and an aqueous solution of sodium nitrate is used for the electrolyte. This technology brings us a couple of remarkable advantages like high etching rate, ultra small surface roughness, cost-effective and environment-compatible polishing.

NONLINEAR RESONANCE IN THE ACCRETION DISK OF A MILLISECOND PULSAR
Two simultaneous frequencies of quasi-periodic millisecond modulation of the X-ray flux (twin kilohertz quasiperiodic oscillations) have recently been detected in an accreting 2.5 ms X-ray pulsar. Their difference, equal to about of the neutron star spin rate, clearly indicates that resonant oscillations of the accretion disk have been 1 2 observed. Similar nonlinear resonances may be spontaneously excited in the accretion disk in the absence of a pulsar, e.g., in black holes. We identify modes of disk oscillations whose frequencies are in agreement with the two observed ones when the rotating neutron star is modeled with realistic equations of state.

Lattice diagnostics using single kick closed orbit at KEKB
We have measured beta functions using single kick closed orbit at KEKB. The measured beta functions were compared with the model lattice and gradient errors were extracted from the result in a beta beat. The gradient errors were also obtained by changing strength of steering magnets and measuring beam positions as the second method. The methods of the error estimation and preliminary results are reported.
