Resonant Excitation of Disk Oscillations in Two-Armed-Deformed Disks and Application to High-Frequency QPOs
In previous papers we showed that in one-armed deformed disks, p-mode and g-mode oscillations are resonantly excited by horizontal resonance, and applied it to high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) observed in lowmass X-ray binaries. In that model, the observed time variation of kHz QPOs is regarded as being the result of a timedependent precession of the deformation. In this paper we consider another possible cause of the time variation of kHz QPOs. That is, we demonstrate that in two-armed deformed disks, p-mode and g-mode oscillations are excited by a vertical resonance, not by a horizontal resonance (horizontal resonance dampens them). Furthermore, we show that in the case of a vertical resonance, the frequencies of excited disk oscillations can vary with time if the vertical disk structure changes with time. A brief application of these results to the time variation of observed kHz QPOs is discussed.

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.

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.

Frequency Correlations of QPOs Based on a Disk Oscillation Model in Warped Disks
In previous papers, we proposed a model that high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) observed in black-hole and neutron-star X-ray binaries are disk oscillations (inertial-acoustic and/or g-mode oscillations) resonantly excited on warped disks. In this paper we examine whether time variations of the QPOs and their frequenc yc orrelations observed in neutron-star X-ray binaries can be accounted for by this disk-oscillation model. By assuming that a warp has a time-dependent precession, we can well describe the observed frequency correlations among kHz QPOs and low-frequency QPOs over a wide range of frequencies.

Spin of Stellar-Mass Black Holes Estimated by a Model of Quasi-Periodic Oscillations
We have proposed in previous papers that the high-frequency pair of quasi-periodic oscillations observed in black-hole binaries with a frequency ratio of 3 : 2 are inertial-acoustic oscillations (nearly horizontal oscillations with no node in the vertical direction) or g-mode oscillations, which are resonantly excited on warped relativistic disks. The resonance occurs through horizontal motions. In this model, the dimensionless spin parameter, a∗ ,o f the central sources can be estimated when their masses are known from other observations. This estimate is done for

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.

High energy electron acceleration by stochastic acceleration mechanism
A stochastic acceleration mechanism which explains the high energy electron acceleration by intense laser pulses is analyzed by Fokker‐Planck approach. The Fokker‐Planck equation describing is derived from the equation of motion of electrons interacting with filamented laser field. The time evolution of electron distribution function, energy distribution, effective temperature are obtained for initially rest plasma. The acceleration of 10 MeV electron beam is examined and shown to be effective.

Differential cross sections of proton compton scattering in the resonance region
Differential cross sections of proton Compton scattering have been measured in the energy range between 375 MeV and 1150 MeV in steps of 25 MeV at c.m. angles of 130°, 100° and 70°. The recoil proton was detected with a magnetic spectrometer. In coincidence with the proton, the scattered photon was detected with a lead-glass Cerenkov counter of the total absorption type. 
 
Theoretical calculations based on an isobar model with two components, that is, the resonance plus the background, were practiced. The photon couplings of the second resonance region were determined from the proton Compton data for the firs time. The results were that the helicity 12 photon couplings of P11(1470) and S11(1535), and the helicity 32 photon coupling of D13(1520) were consistent with those determined from the single-pion photoproduction data; however, the helicity 12 photon coupling of D13(1520) required a somewhat larger value than that from the single-pion photoproduction data.

Study of vertical beam blowup in KEKB low energy ring
Vertical beam blowup has been observed in the KEKB low energy positron ring (LER) since early operation. The main characteristics of the blowup are explained by single-beam head-tail instability caused by an electron cloud. About 4600 solenoids were installed in the LER in order to remove the electrons. This paper describes the experimental study of the vertical beam blowup emphasizing the effect of the solenoids.
