Fluctuation modes in color-superconductors
We investigate fluctuation effects of a gap parameter in color-superconductors. The fluctuation modes in the super phase are described by two scalar fields of diquarks. One of them is a Nambu-Goldstone boson and the other is a diquark boson whose mass is about twice of the gap energy (an extended quasi-supersymmetry). In the normal phase the fluctuation becomes a precursory (soft) mode whose amplitude increases near the critical temperature.

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

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.

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.

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.

A search for deeply bound kaonic nuclear states
Abstract We have measured proton and neutron energy spectra by means of time-of-flight (TOF) from 4He( K stopped − , p / n ) reactions (KEK PS E471 experiment). In the proton spectrum, a clear mono-energetic peak was observed under semi-inclusive condition, which was assigned to the formation of a strange tribaryon S0(3115) with isospin T = 1 . The mass and width of the state were deduced to be 3117.7 −2.0 +3.8 ( syst . ) ± 0.9 ( stat . ) MeV / c 2 and 21.6 MeV / c 2 , respectively, and its main decay mode was Σ N N . In the neutron spectrum, a mono-energetic peak was found as the result of a detailed analysis, which was assigned to the formation of another kind of strange tribaryon S+(3140). The mass and width of the state were deduced to be 3140.5 −0.8 +3.0 ( syst . ) ± 2.3 ( stat . ) MeV / c 2 and 21.6 MeV / c 2 , respectively, and its main decay mode was Σ ± N N . The isospin of the state is assigned to be 0. The results are compared with recent theoretical calculations.

Precise measurement of the positive muon anomalous magnetic moment.
A precise measurement of the anomalous g value, a(mu) = (g-2)/2, for the positive muon has been made at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. The result a(mu+) = 11 659 202(14) (6) x 10(-10) (1.3 ppm) is in good agreement with previous measurements and has an error one third that of the combined previous data. The current theoretical value from the standard model is a(mu)(SM) = 11 659 159.6(6.7) x 10(-10) (0.57 ppm) and a(mu)(exp) - a(mu)(SM) = 43(16) x 10(-10) in which a(mu)(exp) is the world average experimental value.

J-PARC Muon Science Facility with use of 3 GeV Proton Beam
The J-PARC muon science experimental area is planned to be located in the integrated building of the facility for materials and life science study. One muon target will be installed upstream of the neutron target in Phase 1. Under the limited budget of phase 1, it is not possible to install all the secondary beam lines, therefore, any group who is interested in either from the EDM experimental group, or the muon cooling experimental group, or the μ SR group is welcome to join us with constructing its dedicated secondary muon beam line.

Specification and design of a radial vane silicon tracker for a new measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment g-2 and electric dipole moment at J-PARC
A new measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment (g-2) and electric dipole moment (EDM) of the positive muon at J-PARC is proposed. In this experiment, we plan to use a radial vane silicon detector for detecting muon decay positrons. Specification and design study of the detector has been promoted. In order to confirm validity of use of the radial vane silicon detector and decide detector parameters, we are developing simulation and positron track reconstruction tools. First version of those using Geant4 and Hough transform method in ideal condition was constructed and the track finding efficiency was investigated. In parallel, for understanding the detector response, we began to test the most recent double sided silicon strip detector in existence. In this paper, we report the progress of the simulation and the experimental studies for the optimization of the detector parameters.
