Effect of Soft Mode on Shear Viscosity of Quark Matter
We calculate the shear viscosity of quark matter at finite temperature and density. If we assume that the quark interacts with the soft mode, which is a collective mode of a quark-antiquark pair, the self-energy of the quark is calculated by quasi-particle random phase approximation. It is shown that its imaginary part is large and its mean free path is short. With the use of the Kubo formula, the shear viscosity of quark matter decreases. The Reynolds number of quark matter is estimated to be about 10. As temperature increases, shear viscosity increases gradually for T> 200 MeV. Moreover it is shown that the shear viscosity also increases with the chemical potential for μ> 200 MeV.

Shear viscosity and spectral function of the quark matter
We discuss the shear viscosity of the quark matter by using the Kubo-Mori formula. It is found that the shear viscosity is expressed in terms of the quark spectral function. If the spectral function is approximated by a modified Bright-Wigner type, the viscosity decreases as the width of the spectral function increases. We also discuss dependence of the shear viscosity on the temperature and the density.

Rotating Bag Model for Hadrons
The MIT bag model!) has been quite successful in reproducing the observed masses and other static properties of the low-lying hadrons. It is very important to discuss whether or not excited states of the hadrons (resonances) can be explained in the framework of the bag model. A number of excited states have been described successfully by considering collective excitations of the bag.) In particular, Johnson and Thorn) investigated a series of excited states known as the Regge trajectory by using the rotating bag model. They assumed that the rotating bag has stringlike shape with two ends by the centrifugal force and the transverse length is negligible compared with its longitudinal one. From this onedimensional bag model, they succeeded in reproducing the experimental value of the Regge slope very well. Furthermore it was showt: by Wakimaru and one of the present authors (M. I.) that this simple model can explain not only the Regge slope but also the energy spectra of the trajectories.) On the other hand, Eguchi and Migdal et aJ.5) also discussed the excited states by using their string models 'which are independent of the bag model. Any string model which has been proposed is based on the assumption that the shape is stringlike or one-dimensional. Is the assumption of the stringlike shape, however, surely true? section of the stringlike bag, which we call tube, can be given by

A Vibrational Bag Model for Baryons
Surface monopole vibration of baryons is investigated on the basis of the soliton bag model. We derive a relativistic Lagrangian for the surface motion whose mass parameter is proportional to square of the bag radius. With the use of the WKB approximation, the energy spectra of Pl1 and F" resonances are reproduced by our model fairly well. The static properties of the nucleon are alsO studied in our vibrational bag model and compared with those of the static bag model. Our model predicts that the nucleon consists of the central high·density part and the surrounding low-density part. It is also shown that our model is capable to predict the experimental data as well as the static bag model.

Excited baryons in the MIT bag model
Abstract The Johnson-Thorn bag model which explains the rotational motion of the elongated MIT bag is extended so as to describe the longitudinal vibration along the elongated bag. Our model is a kind of string model for baryons but it reduces to the ordinary spherical MIT bag model in the ground states. It is shown that the mass spectra of the P 11 and P 33 resonances of baryons can be reproduced by the present model as well as the Regge trajectories.

Search for Heavy Neutrinos in Kaon Decay
We obtained a new constraint of | u . 1 * * versus m(v.), as shown in Fig.l. Because or the better resolution the lower end of the neutrino mass was reduced to 40 MeV. In Fig.l are also shown other upper limits. One is from R -» j/v done /3/ at SIN. Another comes from the 1 He(jf ,v ) reaction /4/. 1 For the first time we obtained e + spectrum with rejection of the three body decay mode. Hitherto only the e v peak region of 247 MeV/c was known /$/. From the analysis oj; the spectrum we obtained a new constraint, on I U | in a wide mass range between 140 and 350 MeV, as shown in Fig.2. The JL* -> e y experiment /6/ at TRIUMF covers a complementary mass region. A recent experiment to search for neutrino0decays at CERN /?/ gave a new constraint on |U | but the present experiment has yielded a one-order of magnitude better constraint. It should be noted that the deduction of | l I e i l from the CERN experiment requires a model for heavy neutrino decay, while in the present experiment it is given purely kmematically,

Enhancement of muonium emission rate from silica aerogel with a laser-ablated surface
e ) atoms from a laser-processed aerogel surface into vacuumwas studied for the rst time. Laser ablation was used to create hole-like regions withdiameter of about 270 m in a triangular pattern with hole separation in the range of300{500 m. The emission probability for the laser-processed aerogel sample is at leasteight times higher than for a uniform one.

Deeply bound 1s and 2p pionic states in 205Pb and determination of the s-wave part of the pion-nucleus interaction.
We observed well-separated 1s and 2p pi(-) states in 205Pb in the 206Pb(d,3He) reaction at T(d) = 604.3 MeV. The binding energies and the widths determined are B(1s) = 6.762+/-0.061 MeV, Gamma(1s) = 0.764(+0.154)(-0.171) MeV, B(2p) = 5.110+/-0.045 MeV, and Gamma(2p) = 0.321(-0.062)(+0.060) MeV. They are used to deduce the real and imaginary strengths of the s-wave part of the pion-nucleus interaction, which translates into a positive mass shift of pi(-) in 205Pb.

Kaonic nitrogen X-ray transition yields in a gaseous target
Abstract The first measurement of the yields of three kaonic nitrogen X-ray transitions, using the DEAR (DAΦNE Exotic Atom Research) setup at the DAΦNE collider of Frascati, is reported. The yields are 41.5±8.7(stat.)±4.1(sys.)% for the n =7→6 transition, 55.0±3.9(stat.)±5.5(sys.)% for the n =6→5 transition and 57.4±15.2(stat.)±5.7(sys.)% for the n =5→4 transition at a density ρ =3.4 ρ NTP . By using the experimental yields in an atomic cascade calculation, a 1 to 3% K-shell electron population in the n =6 level was deduced.
