Trapped, Two-Armed, Nearly Vertical Oscillations in Disks with Toroidal Magnetic Fields II: Effects of Finite Thickness
We examine the radial trapping of two-armed (m = 2) vertical p-mode oscillations in geometrically thin relativistic disks that are vertically isothermal, but terminated at a certain height by the presence of hot and low-density corona. The disks are assumed to be subject to toroidalmagneticfields. The oscillationsare classified by n, anumber related to the node number of oscillations in the vertical direction, and starting from n = 1. In modes with n = 1, the frequencies of trapped oscillations depend little on the height of termination, but in modes with n = 2, 3, ��� the frequencies decrease and the radial extentions of the trapped region become wide, as the termination height decreases. This study is a preparation to examine whether these oscillations can describe kilo-hertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs), horizontal branch oscillations (HBOs), and their correlations.

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.

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.

Mass and Spin of GRS 1915+105 Based on a Resonance Model of QPOs
We demonstrate that the four high-frequency QPOs observed in GRS 1915+105 can be interpreted as the oscillation modes on disks that non-linearly and resonantly interact with a warp. The warp is assumed to be a lowfrequency global pattern on the disk. This identification suggests that the relevant mass, M, and spin parameter, a,

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.

Resonant excitation of tilt mode in tidally deformed disks
In a previous paper (Kato 2013b), we have shown that in deformed disks a pair of trapped oscillation modes can be resonantly excited through couplings with disk deformation. In this paper we examine in what cases tilts are excited on tidally deformed disks by the above-mentioned wave-wave resonant process. The results show that tilts can be excited in various evolutional stages of tidally deformed disks, although the wave mode which becomes the pair to the tilt and the mode of tidal waves contributing to the resonance change by change of disk stages.

A honeycomb sandwich structure vacuum jacket for cryogenic targets
Abstract Cryogenic targets (H 2 , D 2 and 4 He) have been built for use in the study of photonuclear reactions with a π sr spectrometer, TAGX, at the 1.3 GeV Tokyo electron synchrotron. A new type of vacuum jacket, fabricated from plastic honeycomb core and Mylar skins, has been used in the target system for more than 5000 hours. The average radiation thickness and the average density of this jacket are measured to be 3.3 × 10 −3 X 0 and 0.15 g/cm 3 , respectively.

Differential cross sections of neutral pion photoproduction from hydrogen in the energy region from 390 MeV to 975 MeV
The differential cross sections of the reaction γp→π0p have been measured at photon energies between 390 MeV and 975 MeV with an energy step of 20 or 25 MeV. The angular region covers 11 angles between 15° and 130° in the c.m.s. A combination of a magnetic spectrometer and photon detector was used for the measurement in the angular region from 50° to 130°. At forward angles of 15°, 35° and 50°, π0 mesons were detected using a π0 detector consisting of a pair of photon detectors. The data obtained with two different detection systems overlap at the angle of 50° and coincide with each other within the experimental error. The results are compared with those of phenomenological partial-wave analyses.

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.

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.

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>>
