Precise measurement of Ag KLM and KLN Auger spectra
Abstract Ag KLM and KLN Auger spectra have been measured with a momentum resolution of 0.02%. With this resolution, most of the lines in these transitions are well separated and the complex spectral structure is revealed. Energies and intensities of these lines are precisely determined and compared with the results of the theoretical calculations.

A new type of liquid-3He target system using small mechanical refrigerators
Abstract A new type of liquid- 3 He target has been developed for photoabsorption experiments at intermediate energies. Using the cooling power of liquid 4 He at reduced vapour pressure, 3 He gas is liquefied into a cylindrical target cell of 180 ml and is maintained at 2.0 K during the experiment. Evaporated 4 He gas is evacuated by a rotary pump and returned into the 4 He bath in the cryostat, where two small mechanical refrigerators with cooling capacities of 3 W at 4.3 K and 10 W at 20 K are operated for the purpose of 4 He recondensation. A maintenance-free operation of more than 1000 hours has become possible by adopting the 4 He circulation system.

Differential cross sections for proton compton scattering at incident photon energies between 900 MeV and 1150 MeV
Abstract Differential cross sections of proton Compton scattering have been measured in the angular range between 50° and 130° at incident photon energies from 900 MeV to 1150 MeV. A sharp dip in the angular distribution found by a Bonn group at 110° in the photon energy region around 900 MeV is not observed in the present measurement. A new dip-bump structure is found at photon energies above 1050 MeV, which is similar to that for pion-nucleon scattering.

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.

Neutral-pion photoproduction on the deuteron.
Large-angle cross sections for ..gamma..d..--> pi../sup 0/d are systematically measured in a photon energy range between 500 and 1000 MeV. A good fit is obtained by use of a Glauber model calculation which includes the dibaryon resonances /sup 3/F/sub 3/(2.26) and /sup 1/G/sub 4/(2.51), but the fit has an unusual nature in the role of resonance and nonresonance contributions.

Experimental observations of the ion-related coupled bunch instability in a bunch train in TRISTAN AR
An experiment was carried out in TRISTAN AR for the search of the fast beam-ion instability (FBII). A train of 100 bunches with 2 ns spacing was stored with the help of the transverse bunch feedback system. The nitrogen gas was intentionally leaked into the inside of the vacuum duct to enhance the ion effect. The oscillation patterns were recorded by the beam position monitor system which is capable of storing the transverse position of every bunch up to 1600 turns. The spectra of the bunch oscillations were also measured by a spectrum analyzer. This paper describes the results of the experiment and also discusses the possible explanation of them in terms of the FBII.

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.

Residual gas analysis and electron cloud measurement of DLC and TiN coated chambers at KEKB LER
For future high-intensity positron or proton accelerators, beam instability caused by electron cloud is one of the most important problems. Some coatings on inner surface of beam chambers with materials having low secondary emission yields such as titanium nitride (TiN), nonevaporable getter and so on have represented good effects against the electron cloud instability. In this study, diamond like carbon (DLC) and TiN coated chambers, and a copper chamber without coating were installed to an arc section of KEKB LER to make comparisons of total pressure, residual gas components and electron cloud activity during the beam operation under the same condition. Residual gas observation for the DLC coating revealed much higher hydrogen gas desorption because a process gas including hydrogen was used for the film growth. No remarkable hydrocarbon gas desorption was found. On the other hand, a mass peak of amu = 14, that is N was prominent in the TiN coating. The electron cloud activity in the DLC coating was lower than the TiN coating and the copper chamber.

KEKB performance
The history of the KEKB commissioning is characterized by struggles with three obstacles, namely the electron-cloud instability, the beam-beam blowup and beam current limitations from many reasons. A rapid improvement in the luminosity in this year (2001) has been made by progress in each of these three problems. This report summarizes this year's progress of the KEKB accelerator, since the history of prior days is covered by other reports.
