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.

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 .

Evidence for a strongly bound kaonic system K ppn in the 4 He(stopped K ,n) reaction
We measured a neutron energy spectrum by means of time-of-flight (TOF) from the 4 He(K − stopped ,n) reaction by stopping negative kaons in a super-fluid helium target. A distinct peak was observed in the neutron spectrum, indicating the formation of a strongly bound kaonic system, K − ppn, with the binding energy and width, BKppn = 173 ± 4 MeV and Kppn . 25 MeV, respectively.

BEAM BACKGROUND AND MDI DESIGN FOR SUPERKEKB/BELLE-II
The Belle experiment, operated at the asymmetric electron-positron collider KEKB, had accumulated a data sample with an integrated luminosity of more than 1 ab −1 before the shutdown in June 2010. We have started upgrading both the accelerator and the detector, SuperKEKB and Belle-II, to achieve the target luminosity of 8 × 10 35 cm −2 s −1 . With the increased luminosity, the beam background will be severe. The development of MachineDetector Interface (MDI) design is crucial to cope with the increased background and protect Belle-II detector. We will present the estimation of impact from each beam background sources at SuperKEKB and our countermeasures for them, such as collimators to stop Touschek-scattered beam particles, Tungsten shield to protect inner detectors from shower particles, and dedicated beam pipe design around interaction point to stop synchrotron radiation, etc.

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.

Higgs branching ratio measurements at a future Linear Collider
The next Linear Collider should provide the capability to measure with precision the Higgs branching ratios, constraining the models of electroweak symmetry breaking. The precision of a proposed CCD vertex detector is studied for 120 GeV/c2 and 140 GeV/c2 Higgs production at s=500 GeV.

Surface collective motion in the soliton bag model
Abstract Surface monopole vibration of the baryon is investigated on the basis of the soliton bag model. We derive a relativistic lagrangian for the motion, of which the mass parameter is proportional to the square of the bag radius. With the use of the semi-classical quantization, the energy spectra of the P 11 and P 33 resonances are reproduced fairly well by our model.
