L-band superconducting cavities at KEK for TESLA
An attractive future application of superconducting cavities is a TeV energy superconducting linear collider (TESLA). The substantial merits of TESLA compared to a normal conducting linear collider are to loosening of alignment tolerance and less wake field due to the lower frequency (1.3 GHz). The final focus also is easier to obtain by having the electron/positron population in bunches. TESLA demands upgrading field gradients to over 25 MV/m. KEK has been carrying out R&D on 1.3 GHz niobium superconducting cavities since 1990. So far, seven single cell cavities and two 9-cell cavities have been fabricated and tested. In parallel, input coupler design and niobium material studies are being conducted. This paper reports the present status of KEK's efforts for TESLA.<<ETX>>

High Field Studies on L-band Superconducting Cavities at KEK
Several 1.3 GHz single-cell and nine-cell niobium cavities were fabricated to attain a higher maximum accelerating gradient and to understand the phenomena limiting it. Vertical cold tests at {approx}1.8 K for the 4 single-cell cavities prepared by various surface treatments have been conducted 15 times. In eight of the tests, maximum accelerating gradients (E{sub acc}, max) of more than 14 MV/m were obtained with no field emission. Furthermore, E{sub acc}, max values of higher than 20 MV/m with a high Q{sub 0} value of {approx}10{sup 10} were achieved repeatedly after heat treatment at 1400 degrees C. Once quenching was observed at E{sub acc}, max (14 {approx} 20 MV/m), however, a common phenomenon resulting in Q{sub 0}-deterioration occurred in every test. The cavity performances and the phenomenon at high fields are reported in this paper.

HIGHER HARMONICS BEAM LOADING COMPENSATION FOR A BROAD BAND MA-LOADED RF CAVITY
A broad band RF cavity loaded with magnetic alloy cores has been developed for the Japanese Hadron Facility synchrotrons. Its Q-value can be chosen at between 0.5 and 5. To reduce transient beam loading effects, a small Qvalue (< 3) is preferable to shorten the transient period. However, the circulating beam current of up to 7 A will induce a spurious voltage at the accelerating gap, which deforms the gap voltage due to higher harmonics components, if the Q-value is less than 3. The resulting RFbucket distortion may cause the beam loss. Therefore we have designed a beam loading compensation system to suppress the higher harmonics components.

A wideband RF cavity for JHF synchrotrons
Thirty kilo watt "wide band" cavity has been developed for a test cavity of Japanese Hadron Facility (JHF). A new material, "FINEMET" which has very broad band impedance for the RF frequency, high permeability and large shunt impedance is used for the magnetic core of the cavity. An acceleration voltage of 10.4 kV which is larger than the designed value has been obtained. The characteristics of the core are also suitable to generate isolated RF pulses for the barrier bucket. The results for the barrier bucket are described.

Relationship between the Quark-Meson Coupling Model and Quantum Hadrodynamics
Using the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, we study nuclear matter from the point of view of quark degrees of freedom. Carrying out a re-definition of the scalar field in matter, we transform the QMC into a QHD-type model with a non-linear scalar potential. The potentials obtained from the QMC are compared with those of relativistic mean-field models. Since at present, rigorous studies of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) are limited to matter systems with high temperature and zero baryon density, it is important to build models that help to bridge the discrepancy between nuclear phenomenology and QCD. We have proposed a relativistic quark model for nuclear matter and finite nuclei that consists of non-overlapping nucleon bags bound by the self-consistent exchange of isoscalar, scalar (σ) and vector (ω) mesons in the mean-field approximation (MFA). This model is called the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model. 1) It has also been found in recent theoretical studies that various properties of finite nuclei can be described very well by relativistic mean-field (RMF) models, i.e., quantum hadrodynamics (QHD). 2) In this Letter, we consider the relationship between the QMC and the QHD and study howthe internal structure of the nucleon plays a role in effective nuclear models. In our previous works, 1) the MIT bag model has been used to describe the quark structure of the nucleon. Because the confined quarks interact with the scalar field σ in matter, the effective nucleon mass M � N in the QMC is given by a function of σ through the quark model of the nucleon. (Although the quarks also interact with the ω meson, it has no effect on the nucleon structure, except for a shift in the nucleon energy. 1) ) The (relativistic) constituent quark model (CQM) is an alternative model for the nucleon. Recently, Shen and Toki 3) have proposed a newversion of the QMC — the quark mean-field (QMF) model, in which the CQM is used to describe the nucleon. In the present study, in addition to the bag model (BM), we use the relativistic CQM with confining potentials V (r) of a square well (SW) and harmonic oscillator (HO) type to see the dependence of the matter properties on the quark model. It is assumed that the light (u or d) quark mass mq is 300 MeV in the CQM and 0 MeV in the BM. Furthermore, we introduce a Lorentz vector-type confining potential that is proportional to γ0, in addition to one of the scalar type, as

A Deformable Bag Model of Hadrons. I
As a generalization of the MIT spherical bag model, we construct the spheroidal bag model of hadron with an arbitrary eccentricity. This generalization is made by slightly modifying the MIT linear boundary condition: The linear boundary condition is examined in detail. Our model always satisfies two necessary requirements of the MIT bag model --i. e., n-j=O, no quark colour flux leaves the bag, and ijq =0, the scalar density of quark should vanish on the bag surface-- and it reduces to the MIT spherical bag model in the limit of zero-eccentricity. Lagrangian formalism of our model is briefly described. The eigenfrequencies of a single massless quark confined in this spheroidal bag are numer­ ically calculated. We obtain the level-splitting of the excited quark orbits, which is just analogous to the well-known Nilsson's splitting of single particle orbits in deformed nuclei. By using the numerical results of the lowest orbit, the effect of the bag-deformation on the mass of low-lying hadrons is estimated. It is found that, although the spherical bag is stable, tbe quark bag is extremely soft against the quadrupole deformation. Brief discussions are added on the mechanisms which make the spherical bag more stable.

Quarks in finite nuclei
We describe the development of a theoretical description of the structure of finite nuclei based on a relativistic quark model of the structure of the bound nucleons which interact through the (self-consistent) exchange of scalar and vector mesons.

Formation Zone and Correlation between Mesons and Recoiled Protons in Deep Inelastic Neutrino-Nucleus Interactions
In a recent experiment of deep inelastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, it was observed that there is almost no correlation between produced mesons and slow protons when the multiplicity of the former is small while a positive correlation emerges as it becomes larger. We show that this is a direct manifestation of nonvanishing formation time. The correlation is calculated using an appropriate parametrization of semi-inclusive quark fragmentation functions. Comparison with data indicates that the proper formation time is 0.4-0.6 fm/c
