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.

Polarimeter System for High-Energy Protons Using Carbon Plate and Liquid Hydrogen
In order to measure recoil proton polarization for the reaction γ+p→π°+p in a wide energy range, a polarimeter system has been constructed using carbon plate and liquid hydrogen as the scatterer. It consists of multi-wire proportional chambers, wire spark chambers, scintillation counter hodoscopes, and scatterers. Carbon plates for lower energy protons and liquid hydrogen for higher-energy protons were used as scatterers. The liquid-hydrogen polarimeter has worked reliably in continuous operation for a long time. The performance of the system in the experiment is described.

A honeycomb sandwich structure vacuum jacket for cryogenic targets
Abstract Cryogenic targets (H 2 , D 2 and 4 He) have been built for use in the study of photonuclear reactions with a π sr spectrometer, TAGX, at the 1.3 GeV Tokyo electron synchrotron. A new type of vacuum jacket, fabricated from plastic honeycomb core and Mylar skins, has been used in the target system for more than 5000 hours. The average radiation thickness and the average density of this jacket are measured to be 3.3 × 10 −3 X 0 and 0.15 g/cm 3 , respectively.

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.

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.

Quasi-Periodic Oscillations Resonantly Induced on Spin-Induced Deformed-Disks of Neutron Stars
We consider the situation where a spin-induced wavy perturbation is present on disks of neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries. By non-linearly coupling with the perturbation, some modes of disk oscillations resonantly interact with the disks. We examine the resonant conditions under the assumption that the disks are vertically isothermal. The results show that when the spin frequency has some particular values, resonant coupling occurs at some radii. The modes and frequencies of these resonant oscillations are summarized. Some of these resonant oscillations seem to explain the frequencies of the observed kHz QPOs in objects of which the spin frequency is known.

Field emission from carbon nanotubes in DC and pulsed mode
Abstract Multi-wall Carbon Nanotube (CNT) emitters were tested in a combined diode-RF electron gun. Field emission of the nanotubes was observed at 5–30 MV/m, using a 250 ns FWHM long pulse with a peak voltage of 80–470 kV. The field emission threshold is compatible with that found from previous DC testing. We have extracted from a continuous field emitter up to a nanoCoulomb of charge and measured an emittance of 4 mm mrad with a 2 pC electron beam. The total charge emission during RF operation, using the 1.5 GHz, 2 cell RF structure, was found dependent on its period. RF operation showed that back bombarding electrons with up to 5 MeV did not impair the emission stability of the CNTs.

GENERATION OF HIGH-ENERGY ELECTRON BEAM BY LASER-PLASMA ACCELERATOR
An energy gain of the monoenergetic component of electrons γ were successfully increased to 25 MeV by decreasing an electron density ne to 4 × 1019cm-3 and increasing a laser power PL to 4 TW. An empirical scaling law of the energy gain of γ ∝ PL/ne was derived from the experiment. A forward scattering spectrum of the laser pulse showed anti-Stokes satellite peaks up to third-order harmonics around a second harmonic light and a Stokes satellite peak around a laser wavelength, which indicated that a wakefield was excited in a self-modulation laser wakefield regime. A density modulation of wakefield was estimated at 60 ± 10 % from intensity ratios of satellite peaks. The empirical scaling law well agrees with results obtained at other institutes by using higher laser power of 10 ~ 30 TW.

Lattice diagnostics using single kick closed orbit at KEKB
We have measured beta functions using single kick closed orbit at KEKB. The measured beta functions were compared with the model lattice and gradient errors were extracted from the result in a beta beat. The gradient errors were also obtained by changing strength of steering magnets and measuring beam positions as the second method. The methods of the error estimation and preliminary results are reported.

Experimental Study on the Scaling Law of a Self-Modulated Laser Wakefield Accelerator
We performed experiments to obtain an empirical scaling of a self‐modulated laser wakefield accelerator (SMLWFA) by using laser pulses at a laser power of 2–6 TW and pulse duration of 50 fs. By decreasing the electron density from 1.5 × 1020 cm−3 to 4 × 1019 cm−3 and increasing the laser power, the energy of quasimonoenergetic components increased from 7 MeV to 25 MeV. We obtained the scaling law, according to which the energy gain is inversely proportional to the electron density and proportional to the laser power when the acceleration length is greater than the dephasing length of acceleration. Satellite peaks in the forward‐scattering spectrum suggested that the excitation of a nonlinear wakefield was closely related to the quasimonoenergetic acceleration of electrons.
