Resonant excitation of tilt mode in tidally deformed disks
In a previous paper (Kato 2013b), we have shown that in deformed disks a pair of trapped oscillation modes can be resonantly excited through couplings with disk deformation. In this paper we examine in what cases tilts are excited on tidally deformed disks by the above-mentioned wave-wave resonant process. The results show that tilts can be excited in various evolutional stages of tidally deformed disks, although the wave mode which becomes the pair to the tilt and the mode of tidal waves contributing to the resonance change by change of disk stages.

Resonant Excitation of Disk Oscillations in Deformed Disks. VI. Stability Criterion Revisited
We re-examine the excitation of a set of disk oscillations in a deformed disk by a resonant process. We assume that the disk is deformed from an axisymmetric steady state by an oscillatory deformation with frequency !D and azimuthal wavenumber mD. Then, we consider two normal mode oscillations with a set of frequencies and the azimuthal wavenumber being (!1,m1) and (!2,m2) and satisfying the resonant conditions (!1 +!2 +!D = 0 and m1 +m2 +mD = 0). These oscillations are resonantly excited ifE1E2> 0, whereE1 andE2 are the wave energies of the above two oscillations, when the deformation is maintained by external forces, or has a large amplitude compared with the oscillations. This instability condition is rather general as long as the unperturbed density and pressure vanish on the surface of the system. The possibility of applications to superhumps and negative superhumps in the superoutburst state of dwarf novae are briefly discussed.

Correlated Frequency-Changes of Trapped Vertical p-mode Oscillations and kHz QPOs
AbstractWe have examined the frequencies of trapped two-armed (m = 2) nearly verticaloscillations (vertical p-mode) in vertically isothermal disks with toroidal magneticﬁelds. The magnetic ﬁelds are stratiﬁed so that the Alfv´en speed, c A , is constant inthe vertical direction. We have particularly focused our attention on how frequenciesof the fundamental mode (n r = 0) and ﬁrst overtone (n r = 1) in the radial directionchange with correlation, when theratioc 2A /cs changes, c s beingthe isothermal acousticspeed. The results show that in the case where the oscillations are fundamentalmode (n=1) in the vertical direction, the correlated frequency changes of the above-mentioned oscillations seem towell describe, withstandard values ofthe mass andspinof the central sources, the frequency correlation of kHz QPOs observed in neutron-starX-ray binaries.Key words:accretion, accrection disks — quasi-periodic oscillations — verticalp-mode oscillations — waves — X-rays; stars1. IntroductionMany authors now think that the kilo-hertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) ob-served in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are some kinds of disk oscillations in a strong gravi-tational ﬁeld. Understanding their origin is of importance, since it will become a promising toolto evaluate the mass and spin of the central sources as well as the disk structure surrounding thesources. Many models of kHz QPOs related to disk oscillations and waves have been proposed.None of them, however, can suﬃciently well describe the observed frequency correlation of thetwin kHz QPOs (Lin et al. 2010).As one of possible models of kHz QPOs, for example, we proposed a disk-oscillationmodel in deformed disks (Kato and Fukue 2006), based on the fact that in deformed disks aset of oscillations with positive and negative wave energies are excited resonantly (Kato 2004,1

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 III : Revision of Mathematical Treatment
In previous studies, we have examined a resonant excitation of disk oscillations in deformed disks. In these studies, however, the mathematical treatment around the resonant points was not rigorous. In this paper the inadequate point is corrected, but with no essential changes in the final results. For this excitation process to work, disks must be general relativistic. That is, a non-monotonic radial distribution of the epicyclic frequency in relativistic disks is essential for the presence of the resonance, and for trapping oscillations. In this paper, the growth rate of resonant oscillations is expressed in a form more suitable for numerical calculations.

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.

Measurement of the polarization parameter in K+p elastic scattering at 1.60, 1.80, 2.11 and 2.31 GeV/c
Abstract The polarization parameter for K+p elastic scattering has been measured at 1.60, 1.80, 2.11 and 3.31 GeV/c incident momenta over the entire angular range with an emphasis on the backward region. The results in the extreme backward region appear to be small and consistent with zero.

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.

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.
