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.

A new type of liquid-3He target system using small mechanical refrigerators
Abstract A new type of liquid- 3 He target has been developed for photoabsorption experiments at intermediate energies. Using the cooling power of liquid 4 He at reduced vapour pressure, 3 He gas is liquefied into a cylindrical target cell of 180 ml and is maintained at 2.0 K during the experiment. Evaporated 4 He gas is evacuated by a rotary pump and returned into the 4 He bath in the cryostat, where two small mechanical refrigerators with cooling capacities of 3 W at 4.3 K and 10 W at 20 K are operated for the purpose of 4 He recondensation. A maintenance-free operation of more than 1000 hours has become possible by adopting the 4 He circulation system.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Test results of a single aperture 10 tesla dipole model magnet for the Large Hadron Collider
A single aperture dipole magnet has been developed with a design magnetic field of 10 tesla by using Nb-Ti/Cu conductor to be operated at 1.8 K in pressurized super fluid helium, The magnet features double shell coil design by using high keystone Rutherford cable and compact non-magnetic steel collars to be adaptable in split/symmetric coil/collar design for twin aperture dipoles. A design central magnetic field of 10 tesla has been successfully achieved in excitation at 1.95 K in pressurized superfluid helium. Test results of the magnet with a summary of the design and fabrication are presented.

Optical field ionization effects on the generation of wakefields with short pulse lasers
Abstract In recent experiments involving high intensity short pulse lasers, large wakefields have been observed to occur even when the pulse is much longer than the length necessary to generate wakefields. It was observed in the experiments that the plasma wave starts near the position of the ionization front. The whole process of wake amplification from optical field ionization to Raman scattering is investigated by using a one-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation code which includes the effect of optical field ionization.
