Resonant Excitation of Disk Oscillations in Deformed Disks II: A Model of High-Frequency QPOs
The amplification of disk oscillations resulting from nonlinear resonant couplings between the oscillations and a disk deformation is examined. The disk is geometrically thin and general relativistic with a non-rotating central source. A Lagrangian formulation is adopted. The author examined the same problem a few years ago, but here we derive a general stability criterion in a more perspective way. Another distinct point from the previous work is that in addition to the case where the deformation is a warp, the case where the deformation is a one-armed pattern symmetric with respect to the equatorial plane is considered. The results obtained show that in addition to the previous results that the inertial-acoustic mode and g-mode oscillations are amplified by horizontal resonance in warped disks, they also amplified by horizontal resonance in disks deformed by one-armed pattern symmetric with respect to the equatorial plane. If we consider local oscillations that are localized around boundaries of their propagation region, the resonance occurs at $4r_{\rm g}$, where $r_{\rm g}$ is the Schwarzschild radius. If nonlocal oscillations are considered, frequency ranges of oscillations where oscillations are resonantly amplified are specified.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

The vacuum system of KEKB
Abstract For the KEK B-factory, two rings with a circumference of 3016 m , mainly made of copper, were constructed. A gap between the flanges is filled using Helicoflex as a vacuum seal. The contact force of an RF finger in a bellows is assured by using a spring finger. Pumping slots are backed by crossing bars to prevent the penetration of beam-induced fields. To obtain a pressure of 10 −9 Torr with the beam when the photo-desorption coefficient reaches 10 −6 , the design of pump layout is aimed to realize 100 l s −1 m −1 . NEG strips are used as the main pump. Chemical polishing is applied to clean the extruded surface of a copper chamber. Almost all chambers were baked before installation. Only ion pumps were baked in situ. The photo-desorption coefficient at the start of commissioning was slightly higher than expected, but a decrease of the coefficient is as expected on the whole. At high currents, some bellows were found to be warmed by the TE mode of beam induced fields. The effect of the electron cloud became evident, especially in the LER. Direct damage by the beam is seen at the surface of the movable mask.

An idea of dynamical cooling of electron beam in SR ring
A beam cooling method which uses a stimulated emission of radiation by relativistic electrons in a magnetic field, is proposed to apply to an electron beam in synchrotron radiation rings. The simulation is produced by a traveling RF electric field in a transmission line against the beam. Averaging the emission power over electron energy distributions, the net emission from the beam is taken place in a certain frequency region. Some conditions for the energy emission are discussed. The emission power is shown to be enough large to decrease the horizontal emittance of the beam to a very small value in typical synchrotron radiation rings.<<ETX>>

Beam-beam effect observed in the KEKB
This report summarizes observed phenomena related to the beam-beam effects in the KEKB collider. A general performance of the beam-beam effect is described. An em- phasis is put on the reduction of the specific luminosity with shorter bunch spacing. ible with the present maximum beam current. The scrub- bing effect of the chamber wall also possibly contributed to suppress the blowup. The present beam current limitation comes from a heating problem in the IR region. Another feature of the KEKB is that working points are very close to the half integer resonance particularly in the horizontal direction as is seen in the table. These horizon- tal tunes make the horizontal emittance large and the hori- zonal beta functions small to a large extent. This large emit- tance compensates the large bunch currents and contributes to stabilize the beams against the beam-beam effect. As is seen in the table, both of the horizontal and vertical tunes of the both rings are located above the half integer resonance, while the vertical tunes are above the integer resonance in the design. In the early days of the KEKB, the vertical tunes were above the integer resonance. In February 2001, the vertical tunes moved to above the half integer based on results of new beam-beam simulations. This change of the tunes brought some increase of the luminosity.
