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.

Rotating Bag Model for Hadrons
The MIT bag model!) has been quite successful in reproducing the observed masses and other static properties of the low-lying hadrons. It is very important to discuss whether or not excited states of the hadrons (resonances) can be explained in the framework of the bag model. A number of excited states have been described successfully by considering collective excitations of the bag.) In particular, Johnson and Thorn) investigated a series of excited states known as the Regge trajectory by using the rotating bag model. They assumed that the rotating bag has stringlike shape with two ends by the centrifugal force and the transverse length is negligible compared with its longitudinal one. From this onedimensional bag model, they succeeded in reproducing the experimental value of the Regge slope very well. Furthermore it was showt: by Wakimaru and one of the present authors (M. I.) that this simple model can explain not only the Regge slope but also the energy spectra of the trajectories.) On the other hand, Eguchi and Migdal et aJ.5) also discussed the excited states by using their string models 'which are independent of the bag model. Any string model which has been proposed is based on the assumption that the shape is stringlike or one-dimensional. Is the assumption of the stringlike shape, however, surely true? section of the stringlike bag, which we call tube, can be given by

Excited baryons in the MIT bag model
Abstract The Johnson-Thorn bag model which explains the rotational motion of the elongated MIT bag is extended so as to describe the longitudinal vibration along the elongated bag. Our model is a kind of string model for baryons but it reduces to the ordinary spherical MIT bag model in the ground states. It is shown that the mass spectra of the P 11 and P 33 resonances of baryons can be reproduced by the present model as well as the Regge trajectories.

Shear viscosity and spectral function of the quark matter
We discuss the shear viscosity of the quark matter by using the Kubo-Mori formula. It is found that the shear viscosity is expressed in terms of the quark spectral function. If the spectral function is approximated by a modified Bright-Wigner type, the viscosity decreases as the width of the spectral function increases. We also discuss dependence of the shear viscosity on the temperature and the density.

A Vibrational Bag Model for Baryons
Surface monopole vibration of baryons is investigated on the basis of the soliton bag model. We derive a relativistic Lagrangian for the surface motion whose mass parameter is proportional to square of the bag radius. With the use of the WKB approximation, the energy spectra of Pl1 and F" resonances are reproduced by our model fairly well. The static properties of the nucleon are alsO studied in our vibrational bag model and compared with those of the static bag model. Our model predicts that the nucleon consists of the central high·density part and the surrounding low-density part. It is also shown that our model is capable to predict the experimental data as well as the static bag model.

A search for deeply bound kaonic nuclear states at J‐PARC
J‐PARC E15 experiment aims to search for the lightest kaonic nuclei, namely K−pp bound states, using in‐flight (K−, n) reactions. The advantage of this experiment is to perform exclusive measurement by missing mass study using the primary neutrons and invariant mass spectroscopy via such decay as K−pp→Λp→pπ−p, simultaneously. In this report, an overview of this experiment and the current status are presented.

Measurement of muonium emission from silica aerogel
Emission of muonium ($\mu^{+}e^{-}$) atoms from silica aerogel into vacuum was observed. Characteristics of muonium emission were established from silica aerogel samples with densities in the range from 29 mg cm$^{-3}$ to 178 mg cm$^{-3}$. Spectra of muonium decay times correlated with distances from the aerogel surfaces, which are sensitive to the speed distributions, follow general features expected from a diffusion process, while small deviations from a simple room-temperature thermal diffusion model are identified. The parameters of the diffusion process are deduced from the observed yields.

A new approach to measure kaonic hydrogen X-rays
Abstract Previous kaonic hydrogen X-ray experiments suffered from a poor signal-to-background level. This has been overcome in the present measurement through the use of a gaseous hydrogen target and the imposition of a two-charged-pion tagging requirement. In this paper a full technical description is given of the experimental methods employed.

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.
