Doubly charmed baryon masses and quark wave functions in baryons
We compute the masses of the ground state baryons and their spin excited states discussing quark wave functions in baryons. Doubly charmed baryon masses are given in the expected accuracy of \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}10 MeV.

Strong Coupling Limit/Region of Lattice QCD
We study the phase diagram of quark matter and nuclear properties based on the strong coupling expansion of lattice QCD. Both of baryon and finite coupling correction are found to have effects to extend the hadron phase to a larger μ direction relative to Tc. In a chiral RMF model with logarithmic sigma potential derived in the strong coupling limit of lattice QCD, we can avoid the chiral collapse and normal and hypernuclei properties are well described.

Stable operation of a 300-m laser interferometer with sufficient sensitivity to detect gravitational-wave events within our galaxy.
TAMA300, an interferometric gravitational-wave detector with 300-m baseline length, has been developed and operated with sufficient sensitivity to detect gravitational-wave events within our galaxy and sufficient stability for observations; the interferometer was operated for over 10 hours stably and continuously. With a strain-equivalent noise level of h approximately 5x10(-21)/sqrt[Hz], a signal-to-noise ratio of 30 is expected for gravitational waves generated by a coalescence of 1.4M-1.4M binary neutron stars at 10 kpc distance. We evaluated the stability of the detector sensitivity with a 2-week data-taking run, collecting 160 hours of data to be analyzed in the search for gravitational waves.

Phase diagram at finite temperature and quark density in the strong coupling limit of lattice QCD for color SU(3)
We study the phase diagram of quark matter at finite temperature ($T$) and chemical potential ($\ensuremath{\mu}$) in the strong coupling limit of lattice QCD for color SU(3). We derive an analytical expression of the effective free energy as a function of $T$ and $\ensuremath{\mu}$, including baryon effects. The finite temperature effects are evaluated by integrating over the temporal link variable exactly in the Polyakov gauge with an antiperiodic boundary condition for fermions. The obtained phase diagram shows the first and the second order phase transition at low and high temperatures, respectively, and those are separated by the tricritical point in the chiral limit. Baryon has effects to reduce the effective free energy and to extend the hadron phase to a larger $\ensuremath{\mu}$ direction at low temperatures.

Joint LIGO and TAMA300 search for gravitational waves from inspiralling neutron star binaries
We search for coincident gravitational wave signals from inspiralling neutron star binaries using LIGO and TAMA300 data taken during early 2003. Using a simple trigger exchange method, we perform an intercollaboration coincidence search during times when TAMA300 and only one of the LIGO sites were operational. We find no evidence of any gravitational wave signals. We place an observational upper limit on the rate of binary neutron star coalescence with component masses between 1 and 3M⊙ of 49 per year per Milky Way equivalent galaxy at a 90% confidence level. The methods developed during this search will find application in future network inspiral analyses.

Light composite scalar in eight-flavor QCD on the lattice
In search for a composite Higgs boson (techni-dilaton) in the walking technicolor, we present our preliminary results on the first observation of a light flavor-singlet scalar in a candidate theory for the walking technicolor, the Nf=8 QCD, which was found in our previous paper to have spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking together with remnants of the conformality. Based on simulations with the HISQ-type action on several lattice sizes with various fermion masses, we find evidence of a flavor-singlet scalar meson with mass comparable to that of the Nambu-Goldstone pion in both the small fermion-mass region, where chiral perturbation theory works, and the intermediate fermion-mass region where the hyperscaling relation holds. We further discuss its chiral limit extrapolation in comparison with other states studied in our previous paper: the scalar has a mass much smaller than that of the vector meson, which is compared to the Nambu-Goldstone pion having a vanishing mass in that limit.
