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.

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.

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 .

A new approach to measure kaonic hydrogen X-rays
Abstract Previous kaonic hydrogen X-ray experiments suffered from a poor signal-to-background level. This has been overcome in the present measurement through the use of a gaseous hydrogen target and the imposition of a two-charged-pion tagging requirement. In this paper a full technical description is given of the experimental methods employed.

Progress in development of new μSR spectrometer at RIKEN-RAL
A new μSR spectrometer has been developed at the RIKEN-RAL Muon Facility, UK. The spectrometer comprises two significantly advantageous devices of accurate magnets and multi-channel counter system for efficient use of the highly intense muon beam. A commissioning test to commence operation is in progress toward new μSR experiments under various conditions.

First order phase transition in quark matter
We investigate chiral phase transition of the first order in the quark matter. Using the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, an equation of state of the quark matter which is similar to the van der Waals's one is obtained. Moreover the specific heat and the compressibility are calculated. It is shown that they are enhanced in the symmetry broken phase, in particular, diverge near the tricritical point.

Linear Collider vertex detector optimization for Higgs branching ratio measurements
The Higgs branching ratio measurement is a premier goal of the next Linear Collider physics program. Variations of a CCD vertex detector have been studied to assess the impact of inner radius and hit precision on the measurement of the Higgs branching ratios. A small dependence is found when the beampipe radius is varied between 1.2 cm and 2.4 cm, and the hit precision between 3 μm and 5 μm.

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.

Magnetic Field Measurement System for the SuperKEKB Final Focus Superconducting Magnets
SuperKEKB final beam focusing system consists of different types of superconducting magnets: 8 quadrupole magnets, 4 solenoids and 43 corrector coils. In order to measure the field performances of the magnets and the coils, KEK prepared one set of harmonic coil system during the production stage in a factory, and two sets of harmonic coil systems for the cold tests at 4K for the vertical cryostat test stand in KEK. In this paper, we report these magnetic field measurement systems
