Resonant Excitation of Disk Oscillations in Deformed Disks. V. Effects of Dissipative Process
It is suggested that a set of positive- and negative-energy oscillations can be resonantly excited in the inner region of deformed (warped or eccentric) relativistic disks. In this paper we examine how a dissipative process affects this wave excitation. The results show that when the resonant condition in frequency is roughly satisfied, and thus the oscillations are excited, the introduction of a dissipative process works so as to decrease the growth rate of the oscillations. When the frequency difference between the two oscillations is larger than a certain amount that is required by the resonant condition, however, the oscillations are excited by introducing a dissipative process. This excitation by the dissipative process can be understood as a special example of a double-diffusive instability.

Frequency Correlations of QPOs Based on a Disk Oscillation Model in Warped Disks
In previous papers, we proposed a model that high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) observed in black-hole and neutron-star X-ray binaries are disk oscillations (inertial-acoustic and/or g-mode oscillations) resonantly excited on warped disks. In this paper we examine whether time variations of the QPOs and their frequenc yc orrelations observed in neutron-star X-ray binaries can be accounted for by this disk-oscillation model. By assuming that a warp has a time-dependent precession, we can well describe the observed frequency correlations among kHz QPOs and low-frequency QPOs over a wide range of frequencies.

Resonant excitation of disk oscillations in deformed disks. VII. Stability criterion in MHD systems
In a disk with an oscillatory deformation from an axisymmetric state with frequency ωD and azimuthal wavenumber mD, two normal mode oscillations with a set of frequency and azimuthal wavenumber being (ω1, m1) and (ω2, m2) are resonantly coupled to each other through the disk deformation when the resonant conditions (ω1 + ω2 + ωD = 0 and m1 + m2 + mD = 0) are satisfied. In the case of hydrodynamical disks, the resonance amplifies the set of the oscillations if (E1/ω1)(E2/ω2) > 0 (Kato 2013b, PASJ, 65, 75), where E1 and E2 are wave energies of the two oscillations with ω1 and ω2, respectively. In this paper we show that this instability criterion is still valid even when the oscillations are ideal MHD ones in magnetized disks, if the displacements associated with the oscillations vanish on the boundary of the system.

Simultaneous resonant excitation of low-frequency eccentric wave and tilt wave on tidally deformed disks
Simultaneous excitation of low-frequency eccentric precessing mode (one-armed p-mode) and tilt mode on tidally deformed disks is considered. If the orbit of the secondary star is eccentric and its orbital plane is misaligned with the disk plane of the primary, the above-mentioned two low-frequency oscillation modes are simultaneously excited on the primary disk, the former having prograte precession and the latter having retrograde precession. This excitation of disk oscillations is due to a wave–wave resonant excitation process considered by Kato (2013, PASJ, 65, 75). If parameter values relevant to Be/X-ray binary systems are adopted, the periods of these excited oscillations are around 10 times the orbital period of the secondary, which may be comparable with the timescale of giant outbursts observed in Be/X-ray systems.

Spin of Stellar-Mass Black Holes Estimated by a Model of Quasi-Periodic Oscillations
We have proposed in previous papers that the high-frequency pair of quasi-periodic oscillations observed in black-hole binaries with a frequency ratio of 3 : 2 are inertial-acoustic oscillations (nearly horizontal oscillations with no node in the vertical direction) or g-mode oscillations, which are resonantly excited on warped relativistic disks. The resonance occurs through horizontal motions. In this model, the dimensionless spin parameter, a∗ ,o f the central sources can be estimated when their masses are known from other observations. This estimate is done for

Tidal Instability and Superhump by a Wave-Wave Resonant Model
On a disk deformed to a non-axisymmetric form, a set of oscillations can be excited by their resonant interaction through the disk deformation (Kato et al. 2011). This resonant instability process has been proposed to suggest a possible cause of the high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HF QPOs) observed in black-hole lowmass X-ray binaries. In the present paper, we examine whether the above-mentioned wave-wave resonant process can describe the tidal instability and superhump in dwarf novae. The results show that the process seems to well describe the observations. If this process is really the cause of the tidal instability and superhump, a two-armed oscillation with high frequency roughly on the magnitude of three times the orbital frequency is present on disks, although its expected amplitude may be small.

An idea of dynamical cooling of electron beam in SR ring
A beam cooling method which uses a stimulated emission of radiation by relativistic electrons in a magnetic field, is proposed to apply to an electron beam in synchrotron radiation rings. The simulation is produced by a traveling RF electric field in a transmission line against the beam. Averaging the emission power over electron energy distributions, the net emission from the beam is taken place in a certain frequency region. Some conditions for the energy emission are discussed. The emission power is shown to be enough large to decrease the horizontal emittance of the beam to a very small value in typical synchrotron radiation rings.<<ETX>>

Studies of Fabrication Procedure of 9-cell SRF Cavity for ILC Mass-production at KEK.
We had been constructing a new facility for the fabrication of superconducting RF cavity at KEK from 2009 to 2011. In the facility, we have installed a deepdrawing machine, a half-cup trimming machine, an electron-beam welding machine, and a chemical etching room in one place. We started the studies on the fabrication of 9-cell cavity for International Linear Collier (ILC) using this facility. The studies are focusing on the cost reduction with keeping high performance of cavity, and the goal is the establishment of mass-production procedure for ILC. We already finished the fabrication of two 9-cell cavities in this facility. This article reports the current status of the studies.

Strong-interaction form factor of proton in high-energy proton-proton elastic scattering
SummaryAn analysis of high-energy proton-proton elastic-scattering data is made in terms of one-particle exchange type amplitude. The results show that the proton form factor is constant at large momentum transfer. This may be interpreted as evidence for the existence of a pointlike core in the proton.RiassuntoSi esegue un'analisi dei dati dello scattering elastico protone-protone di alte energie in termini dell'ampiezza del tipo dello scambio di una particella. I risultati mostrano che il fattore di forma del protone è costante a grande trasferimento di impulso. Questo può essere interpretato come prova dell'esistenza di un nocciolo puntiforme nel protone.РезюмеВ терминах амплитуды с одно-частичным обменом проводится анализ данных по протон-протонному упругому рассеянию при высоких энергиях. Полученные результаты показывают, что протонный форм-фактор является постоянным при больших передаваемых импульсах. Это можно интерпретировать, как подтверждение существования точечной сердцевины в протоне.

GENERATION OF HIGH-ENERGY ELECTRON BEAM BY LASER-PLASMA ACCELERATOR
An energy gain of the monoenergetic component of electrons γ were successfully increased to 25 MeV by decreasing an electron density ne to 4 × 1019cm-3 and increasing a laser power PL to 4 TW. An empirical scaling law of the energy gain of γ ∝ PL/ne was derived from the experiment. A forward scattering spectrum of the laser pulse showed anti-Stokes satellite peaks up to third-order harmonics around a second harmonic light and a Stokes satellite peak around a laser wavelength, which indicated that a wakefield was excited in a self-modulation laser wakefield regime. A density modulation of wakefield was estimated at 60 ± 10 % from intensity ratios of satellite peaks. The empirical scaling law well agrees with results obtained at other institutes by using higher laser power of 10 ~ 30 TW.

Differential cross sections for photoemission of deuterons from the nitrogen nucleus
Abstract Momentum distributions for inclusive photoemission of deuterons from nitrogen have been measured at laboratory angles of 43° and 50°, and for maximum energies of the bremsstrahlung photon beam of 725, 775 and 825 MeV. The double differential cross sections of deuterons emitted from nitrogen are obtained for photon energies of 750 and 800 MeV and for laboratory angles of 43° and 50°. The photon energy is determined by the photon subtraction method. Results are examined by a π 0 photoproduction process off a quasi-deuteron in nitrogen ( γ ″d″→ π 0 d) and by a two-step process. The two-step process means the following: first, a nucleon is produced by a photo-pion production process from a quasi-free nucleon in the nitrogen nucleus ( γ ″N″→ π N); second, the nucleon produced at the first step picks up another nucleon in the nucleus and then a deuteron is emitted (N+A→d+anything).
