Muonic atoms of radioactive nuclei
The latest progress of a feasibility study at the RIKEN-RAL muon facility using the cold hydrogen film method to extend muonic atom spectroscopy to the use of RI beams is being reported. This would allow studies of unstable nuclei by means of the muonic X-ray method at facilities where both intense μ − and RI beams would be available. New experimental results have just been obtained with stable argon ions implanted in solid deuterium films. Future perspective at the new Muon Experimental Facility in the J-PARC project is also discussed.

Discovery of the repulsive energy shift of the kaonic hydrogen 1s state
Abstract The aim in this manuscript is to clarify the progress in understanding the nature of the K ¯ N interaction at the lowest energy, given by the recent kaonic hydrogen X-ray experiment at KEK [1]. We have observed a clear spectrum showing the kaonic hydrogen K α line, for the first time. The analysis gives the repulsive energy shift to be Δ E (1 s ) = −323 ± 63(statistical) ± 11 (systematic) eV and the energy width to be Λ(1 s ) = 407 ± 208 ± 100 eV. This result is consistent with analyses of the previous low-energy scattering data and resolves the long-standing kaonic hydrogen puzzle.

Muon catalyzed fusion experiments on muonic deuterium atom deceleration in thin solid deuterium films
Abstract Muon catalyzed fusion was investigated in a series of thin solid deuterium films by detecting protons from dd fusion. Two different contributions to the total fusion yield resulting from dμ atoms emitted from a primary hydrogen layer and from incident muons directly stopped in the deuterium film itself were observed. The thickness dependence of the fusion yield suggested the importance of molecular effects in dμ elastic scattering in D 2 .

Radioactive Muonic Atom Studies with Intense Muon Beams
New intense muon beams with flux several orders of magnitude higher than at present muon facilities would allow many novel experimental studies that were until now statistically not feasible. The investigation of the nuclear properties of short‐lived nuclei using muonic atom spectroscopy would become possible. In this paper, the recent progress of a feasibility study at RIKEN‐RAL muon facility using the cold hydrogen film method to produce radioactive muonic atoms is being reported. The first experimental results have just been obtained with stable argon ions implanted in solid deuterium films.

QUARKONIUM AT FINITE TEMPERATURE
We study quarkonium at finite temperature by using a hadron string model. It is shown that as the temperature is increased, the mass of the quarkonium decreases and the slope of the Regge trajectory is changed.

Tetraquark particle in the string model
We discuss the possibility of the existence of tetraquark states made of four quarks in the string (flux tube) model. The new particle is composed of a diquark and an antidiquark which are connected by a color flux. It is shown that the vibrational and rotational excited states of the string explain some non-qq mesons observed experimentally. Moreover we discuss the decay widths of such tetraquarks with the use of the Schwinger mechanism.

Higgs branching ratio measurements at a future Linear Collider
The next Linear Collider should provide the capability to measure with precision the Higgs branching ratios, constraining the models of electroweak symmetry breaking. The precision of a proposed CCD vertex detector is studied for 120 GeV/c2 and 140 GeV/c2 Higgs production at s=500 GeV.

Study of top-quark production and decay vertices with LCD fast simulation
We report a study of top-quark reconstruction in e+e−→tt events at a 500 GeV linear collider using the LCD Fast simulator. The initial study of top-quark anomalous couplings is also reported. The final states of 4 jets and lepton as well as 6 jets are used. Using the 4 jets and lepton final state, we estimate the preliminary sensitivities for form factors at the γ/Z0tt vertex. In the 6 jets reconstruction, we show abilities of the top-quark charge identification and the c-quark tagging in W decays.

PROGRESS OF DESIGN STUDY OF INTERACTION REGION QUADRUPOLES FOR THE SUPER-KEKB
For KEKB upgrade, we are studying the design of the final focus quadrupoles to achieve very small β-functions at the interaction point (IP). For each beam, the final beam focusing system consists of quadrupole-doublet of the superconducting and permanent magnets. In this paper, the design progress of final focusing magnets is reported.
