Radioactive Muonic Atom Studies with Intense Muon Beams
New intense muon beams with flux several orders of magnitude higher than at present muon facilities would allow many novel experimental studies that were until now statistically not feasible. The investigation of the nuclear properties of short‐lived nuclei using muonic atom spectroscopy would become possible. In this paper, the recent progress of a feasibility study at RIKEN‐RAL muon facility using the cold hydrogen film method to produce radioactive muonic atoms is being reported. The first experimental results have just been obtained with stable argon ions implanted in solid deuterium films.

Muon catalyzed fusion experiments on muonic deuterium atom deceleration in thin solid deuterium films
Abstract Muon catalyzed fusion was investigated in a series of thin solid deuterium films by detecting protons from dd fusion. Two different contributions to the total fusion yield resulting from dμ atoms emitted from a primary hydrogen layer and from incident muons directly stopped in the deuterium film itself were observed. The thickness dependence of the fusion yield suggested the importance of molecular effects in dμ elastic scattering in D 2 .

Enhancement of muonium emission rate from silica aerogel with a laser-ablated surface
e ) atoms from a laser-processed aerogel surface into vacuumwas studied for the rst time. Laser ablation was used to create hole-like regions withdiameter of about 270 m in a triangular pattern with hole separation in the range of300{500 m. The emission probability for the laser-processed aerogel sample is at leasteight times higher than for a uniform one.

Discovery of the repulsive energy shift of the kaonic hydrogen 1s state
Abstract The aim in this manuscript is to clarify the progress in understanding the nature of the K ¯ N interaction at the lowest energy, given by the recent kaonic hydrogen X-ray experiment at KEK [1]. We have observed a clear spectrum showing the kaonic hydrogen K α line, for the first time. The analysis gives the repulsive energy shift to be Δ E (1 s ) = −323 ± 63(statistical) ± 11 (systematic) eV and the energy width to be Λ(1 s ) = 407 ± 208 ± 100 eV. This result is consistent with analyses of the previous low-energy scattering data and resolves the long-standing kaonic hydrogen puzzle.

Precise measurement of the positive muon anomalous magnetic moment.
A precise measurement of the anomalous g value, a(mu) = (g-2)/2, for the positive muon has been made at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. The result a(mu+) = 11 659 202(14) (6) x 10(-10) (1.3 ppm) is in good agreement with previous measurements and has an error one third that of the combined previous data. The current theoretical value from the standard model is a(mu)(SM) = 11 659 159.6(6.7) x 10(-10) (0.57 ppm) and a(mu)(exp) - a(mu)(SM) = 43(16) x 10(-10) in which a(mu)(exp) is the world average experimental value.

Pairing Correlation in Quark Matter
The superconductivity in quark matter is investigated by a generalized mean field approximation. If we assume that two quarks interact each other via the one·gluon exchange potential, attractive force appears in the color·triplet and spin-parallel state. Applying a BCS-like theory to the system, it is shown that we obtain a new superconducting state which is more stable than the normal (Fermi gas) state. We also give the explicit expression of the superconducting state. Recently the possibility of strange quark matter1> has been studied by many authors by using various effective models for QCD. In these approaches2> they have supposed that the ground state of the quark matter is a degenerate Fermi gas state where each quark occupies a single-particle state with definite momentum under the Fermi momentum. We think that this assumption is not so evident. If the interac­ tion between two quarks is attractive and strong enough, the ground state would become a correlated state just like the BCS state in the superconductors rather than the normal state (the Fermi gas state). We will investigate this possibility in this paper. There are several approaches3>.4> to take into account such pairing correlations. They are restricted to the SU(2) quark matter because any two-quark system has color necessarily. In the SU(3), we note that there are three kinds of quark pairs which bear the same color as three kinds of anti-quarks. If such three quark pairs condense in the same way, there may exist a new boson condensate which is a color-singlet state. It is the purpose of this note to discuss such possibility, the color SU(3) superconductivity in the quark matter, by using a mean field approximation. § 2. Attractive force between two quarks First let us consider possibility of appearance of the attractive force between two quarks. We assume the one-gluon exchange potential,5>

Phase transition of color superconductivity and cooling behavior of quark stars
We discuss color superconductivity and its effect on the cooling behavior of strange quark stars. The neutrino emissivity and specific heat of quark matter are calculated within the BCS theory. In the superconducting phase, the emissivity decreases and causes suppression of the cooling rate. It is shown that the phase transition leads to a sudden discontinuous suppression of the cooling rate in cooperation with the specific heat.

A Variational Foundation of the Improper Hartree-Bogoliubov Formalism
We give a variational foundation for the improper Hartree-Bogoliubov (HE) formalism by which odd fermion systems can be treated in an analogous way as the formalism of even fermion systems. Because of the difference of the normalization for the improper HE amplitudes from that for the proper ones, the improper HE equation cannot be diagonalized with the conventional BCS ansatz. We decompose the improper liB amplitudes into the amplitudes describing paired and unpaired modes of fermions and the variational procedure is applied to them. We obtain a new form of the improper HE equation with respect to the paired mode amplitudes. It includes the effects of unpaired modes but can be diago­ nalized with the conventional manner.

We have upgraded the accelerator control network system for SuperKEKB, the next generation B-factory experiment in Japan. The designed network system has the higher performance based on the wider bandwidth data transfer, and more reliable and redundant configuration. For the SuperKEKB beamline construction and accelerator components maintenance, we have installed the new wireless network system consists with the Leaky Coaxial (LCX) cable antennas and collinear antennas into the 3 km circumference accelerator tunnel. In this paper, we describe the design and current status of the SuperKEKB accelerator control network system.
