Estimation of synchrotron-radiation background based on a real beam orbit
Some high-energy experiments have suffered from synchrotron-radiation background. As a measure, we have developed a new calculation method of synchrotron radiation based on a real beam orbit, aiming at quantitative estimations and the construction of a possible alarm system for the background. An explanation and a demonstration of our method are given.

ARES Upgrade for Super-KEKB
ARES is a normal-conducting RF accelerating cavity system for KEKB, which has been successfully operated to store the high-current beams. Aiming at luminosity frontiers beyond 10cms, an upgrade project toward Super-KEKB is being proposed, where about four times more beam currents are to be stored and supported by the RF system. In this report, upgrade items relevant to the ARES system are reviewed and discussed.

CSR in the SuperKEKB Damping Ring
Coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is generated when a bunched beam traverses a dipole magnet or a wiggler/undulator. It can degrade the beam quality in both storage rings and linacs through enhancing the beam energy spread and lengthening the bunch length, even cause single-bunch microwave instabilities. Using several methods, CSR impedances in the positron damping ring (DR) of the SuperKEKB which is under design were calculated. From the impedances due to CSR, resistive wall and various vacuum components, quasi-Green function wake potentials were constructed and used in simulations of Particle-In-Cell (PIC) tracking. We present the CSR related results in this paper.

High gradient test at Nextef and high-power long-term operation of devices
Abstract The X-band high gradient studies at Nextef, the 100 MW X-Band test station in KEK operated since 2008, is reviewed. Recent high power test results of TD18#2, an 18-cell CLIC prototype structure with HOM damping slots, are given. The measured breakdown rate is ∼10 −5 /pulse/m under the operation at 100 MV/m gradient with 250 ns rf pulse width. The rate is higher by one- to two-order compared with that of the T18 structure, which is a disk loaded structure without the HOM slots. The recent performance of the station is also reviewed, especially that of PPM klystrons is discussed. An overview of our on-going programs such as the pulse compression system of Nextef as well as the future plans of X-band study is given.

Novel extrapolation method in the Monte Carlo shell model
We propose an extrapolation method utilizing energy variance in the Monte Carlo shell model to estimate the energy eigenvalue and observables accurately. We derive a formula for the energy variance with deformed Slater determinants, which enables us to calculate the energy variance efficiently. The feasibility of the method is demonstrated for the full pf-shell calculation of {sup 56}Ni, and the applicability of the method to a system beyond the current limit of exact diagonalization is shown for the pf+g{sub 9/2}-shell calculation of {sup 64}Ge.

Phenomenology of Partially Composite Standard Model
We propose a model to describe the low energy physics of partially composite Standard Model, in which the electroweak sector in the Standard Model is weakly coupled to some strong dynamics. The vector resonances in the strong sector are introduced as the effective degrees of freedom, W' and Z', which mixes with the W and Z bosons through the electroweak symmetry breaking. Through the coupling to the strong sector, the Standard Model Higgs boson becomes partially composite, and its properties are modified. We study the constraints from the electroweak precision data and direct searches of W' and Z' at the LHC expriments, and discuss the effects on the production/decay properties of the Higgs boson.

The Flavor Structure of the Three-Site Higgsless Model
We study the flavor structure of the three-site Higgsless model and evaluate the constraints on the model arising from flavor physics. We find that current data constrain the model to exhibit only minimal flavor violation at tree level. Moreover, at the one-loop level, by studying the leading chiral logarithmic corrections to chirality-preserving Delta F = 1 and Delta F = 2 processes from new physics in the model, we show that the combination of minimal flavor violation and ideal delocalization ensures that these flavor-changing effects are sufficiently small that the model remains phenomenologically viable.

LHC Higgs signatures from extended electroweak gauge symmetry
A bstractWe study LHC Higgs signatures from the extended electroweak gauge symmetry SU(2) ⊗ SU(2) ⊗ U(1). Under this gauge structure, we present an effective UV completion of the 3-site moose model with ideal fermion delocalization, which contains two neutral Higgs states (h, H) plus three new gauge bosons (W′, Z′). We study the unitarity, and reveal that the exact E2 cancellation in the longitudinal VLVL scattering amplitudes is achieved by the joint role of exchanging both spin-1 new gauge bosons W′/Z′ and spin-0 Higgs bosons h/H. We identify the lighter Higgs state h with mass 125 GeV, and derive the unitarity bound on the mass of heavier Higgs boson H. The parameter space of this model is highly predictive. We study the production and decay signals of this 125 GeV Higgs boson h at the LHC. We demonstrate that the h Higgs boson can naturally have enhanced signals in the diphoton channel gg → h → γγ, while the event rates in the reactions gg → h → W W∗ and gg → h → ZZ∗ are generally suppressed relative to the SM expectation. Searching the h Higgs boson via the associated production and the vector boson fusions are also discussed for our model. We further analyze the LHC signals of the heavier Higgs boson H as a new physics discriminator from the SM. For wide mass-ranges of H, we derive constraints from the existing LHC searches, and study the discovery potential of H at the LHC (8 TeV) and LHC (14 TeV).
