Frequency Correlations of QPOs Based on a Disk Oscillation Model in Warped Disks
In previous papers, we proposed a model that high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) observed in black-hole and neutron-star X-ray binaries are disk oscillations (inertial-acoustic and/or g-mode oscillations) resonantly excited on warped disks. In this paper we examine whether time variations of the QPOs and their frequenc yc orrelations observed in neutron-star X-ray binaries can be accounted for by this disk-oscillation model. By assuming that a warp has a time-dependent precession, we can well describe the observed frequency correlations among kHz QPOs and low-frequency QPOs over a wide range of frequencies.

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.

Quasi-Periodic Oscillations Resonantly Induced on Spin-Induced Deformed-Disks of Neutron Stars
We consider the situation where a spin-induced wavy perturbation is present on disks of neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries. By non-linearly coupling with the perturbation, some modes of disk oscillations resonantly interact with the disks. We examine the resonant conditions under the assumption that the disks are vertically isothermal. The results show that when the spin frequency has some particular values, resonant coupling occurs at some radii. The modes and frequencies of these resonant oscillations are summarized. Some of these resonant oscillations seem to explain the frequencies of the observed kHz QPOs in objects of which the spin frequency is known.

Spin of Stellar-Mass Black Holes Estimated by a Model of Quasi-Periodic Oscillations
We have proposed in previous papers that the high-frequency pair of quasi-periodic oscillations observed in black-hole binaries with a frequency ratio of 3 : 2 are inertial-acoustic oscillations (nearly horizontal oscillations with no node in the vertical direction) or g-mode oscillations, which are resonantly excited on warped relativistic disks. The resonance occurs through horizontal motions. In this model, the dimensionless spin parameter, a∗ ,o f the central sources can be estimated when their masses are known from other observations. This estimate is done for

Resonant excitation of disk oscillations in deformed disks. VII. Stability criterion in MHD systems
In a disk with an oscillatory deformation from an axisymmetric state with frequency ωD and azimuthal wavenumber mD, two normal mode oscillations with a set of frequency and azimuthal wavenumber being (ω1, m1) and (ω2, m2) are resonantly coupled to each other through the disk deformation when the resonant conditions (ω1 + ω2 + ωD = 0 and m1 + m2 + mD = 0) are satisfied. In the case of hydrodynamical disks, the resonance amplifies the set of the oscillations if (E1/ω1)(E2/ω2) > 0 (Kato 2013b, PASJ, 65, 75), where E1 and E2 are wave energies of the two oscillations with ω1 and ω2, respectively. In this paper we show that this instability criterion is still valid even when the oscillations are ideal MHD ones in magnetized disks, if the displacements associated with the oscillations vanish on the boundary of the system.

Trapped, Two-Armed, Nearly Vertical Oscillations in Disks with Toroidal Magnetic Fields II: Effects of Finite Thickness
We examine the radial trapping of two-armed (m = 2) vertical p-mode oscillations in geometrically thin relativistic disks that are vertically isothermal, but terminated at a certain height by the presence of hot and low-density corona. The disks are assumed to be subject to toroidalmagneticfields. The oscillationsare classified by n, anumber related to the node number of oscillations in the vertical direction, and starting from n = 1. In modes with n = 1, the frequencies of trapped oscillations depend little on the height of termination, but in modes with n = 2, 3, ��� the frequencies decrease and the radial extentions of the trapped region become wide, as the termination height decreases. This study is a preparation to examine whether these oscillations can describe kilo-hertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs), horizontal branch oscillations (HBOs), and their correlations.

Recoil proton polarization of proton compton scattering in the resonance region
SummaryThe recoil proton polarization of proton Compton scattering (γp→γp) was measured in the photon energy range from 500 MeV to 1000 MeV atθ∗=100° and from 400MeV to 800 MeV atθ∗=130°. A recoil proton and a scattered photon were detected in coincidence with a magnetic spectrometer and a photon detector. The recoil proton polarization was measured with a carbon polarimeter. The results are compared with a phenomenological analysis based on an isobar model and a dynamical analysis based on the dispersion relation.RiassuntoÈ stata misurata la polarizzazione del protone di rinculo nello scattering di Compton del protone (γp→γp) nell'intervallo d'energia del fotone da 500 a 1000 MeV perθ∗=100°, e da 400 a 800 MeV perθ∗=130°. Sono stati individuati un protone di rinculo e un fotone diffuso contemporaneamente con uno spettrometro magnetico e un rivelatore di fotoni. La polarizzazione del protone di rinculo è stata misurata con un polarimetro a carbonio. Si confrontano i risultati con un'analisi fenomenologica basata su un modello a isobare e con un'analisi dinamica basata sulla relazione di disperisone.РезюмеПроведено измерение поляризации протонов отдачи при комптоновском рассеянии на протонах в области энергий фотонов от 500 МэВ до 1000 МэВ приθ∗=100° и от 400 МэВ до 800 МэВ приθ∗=130°. Протон отдачи и рассеянный фотон детектируются на совпадение с помощяю магнитного спектрометра и детектора фотонов. Поляризация протона отдачи измеряется с помщью углеродного поляриметра.

A large acceptance spectrometer using wire chambers
Abstract A large acceptance magnetic spectrometer has been constructed for an experiment on the π 0 -photoproduction off hydrogen and proton Compton scattering with the 1.3 GeV electron synchrotron at the Institute for Nuclear Study, University of Tokyo. The spectrometer system consists of four multiwire proportional chambers, six wire spark chambers and scintillation counters. The system has worked smoothly under high background events from electromagnetic processes. The performance, construction and monitoring system of the spectrometer are described.

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.
