BEAM LOADING EFFECTS IN JHF SYNCHROTRON
Beam loading effects on the rf system of JHF proton synchrotrons have been investigated by both computer simulation and experiment using a low energy electron beam. From the simulation results, it is found that even under the heavy beam loading the beam acceleration becomes stable if applying the beam loading compensation, and the compensation experiment is succeeded on proto-type Magnetic Alloy loaded cavity.

A Measurement System Using Gp-Ib For A Magnetic Core Test Cavity
In the design of the RF system of the JHF (Japan Hadron Facilit y) proton synchrotrons, it is very important to find a magnetic core to which satisfies the required condition of the JHF accelerators[1]. Ferrite cores are usually used for the magnetic core of the proton synchrotron, however there are some problems. Generally, some ferrite cores have non-linear characteristics which depend on the RF magnetic field. And, there is a size-dependence of the characteristics. Thus, it is required to measure the characteristics of large size magnetic cores. To measure characteristics of the magnetic cores, we have developed a test cavity which is capable of measuring an actual size one, and measurement system using software ‘HP-VEE’[ 2,3] which is possible to control the measurement devices by using a GP-IB command directly. In this measuring system, the acquisition of data and calculation of the characteristics of the magnetic cores are automatically processed.

EVALUATION OF MAGNETIC ALLOYS FOR JHF RF CAVITY
A new type of rf accelerating cavity using a high permeability magnetic alloy (MA) has been developed for the high intensity JHF proton synchrotrons. Compared with ordinary ferrites, the MA cores are very stable at high rf magnetic field and thus very high accelerating gradient (=accelerating voltage per cavity length) is available. We have measured several magnetic alloys in order to find a proper material for the cavity. In this paper, the test results are summarized and the evaluation of these materials is presented.

New higher-order-mode damping scheme for L-band superconducting cavities using a radial transmission line ☆
For energy recovery linacs, excellent damping of higher-order modes (HOMs) in superconducting cavities is required for preventing beam breakup. As a promising method for this purpose, we propose to damp the HOMs using a radial transmission line attached to the sides of the cavity. The HOM powers are dissipated in RF absorbers while an accelerating field is rejected with a choke filter. An initial design of this radial-line HOM damper was carried out with simulations. Then, we measured the damping of HOMs by means of this method using a model cavity of the TESLA type. Investigations on a single-cell cavity showed a promising performance of HOM damping.

Development of a Superconducting Cavity for the High Intensity Proton Linac in JAERI
The R&D work of a superconducting (SC) cavity for the high intensity proton linac in JAERI has been started in collaboration with KEK. The RF field calculation and the structural analyses of the cavity have been made for the design in the proton energy range between 100 and 1500 MeV. The results indicate the feasibility of the SC proton linac, while more optimization is required. A vertical test stand with a cryostat, a clean room and a water rinsing system has been constructed. We present the preliminary cavity design and the overview of the test stand.

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.

Equation of State for Neutron Stars: Hyperon Mixing in SU(3) Flavor Symmetry
Using various kinds of relativistic mean-field models as well as the quark-meson coupling model, we study in detail the properties of neutron stars. We find that the equation of state in SU(3) flavor symmetry can support a neutron star with mass of $(1.8 \sim 2.1) M_{\odot}$ even if hyperons exist inside the core of a neutron star.

EoS for massive neutron stars
Using relativistic Hartree-Fock approximation, we investigate the properties of the neutron-star matter in detail. In the present calculation, we consider not only the tensor coupling of vector mesons to octet baryons and the form factors at interaction vertexes but also the internal (quark) structure change of baryons in dense matter. The relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations are performed in two ways: one is the calculation with the coupling constants determined by SU(6) (quark model) symmetry, the other is with the coupling constants based on SU(3) (flavor) symmetry. For the latter case, we use the latest Nijmegen (ESC08) model. Then, it is very remarkable that the particle composition of the core matter in SU(3) symmetry is completely different from that in SU(6) symmetry. In SU(6) symmetry, all octet baryons appear in the density region below $\sim 1.2$ fm$^{-3}$, while, in the ESC08 model, only the \Xi^- hyperon is produced. Furthermore, the medium modification of the internal baryon structure hardens the equation of state for the core matter. Taking all these effects into account, we can obtain the maximum neutron-star mass which is consistent with the recently observed mass, 1.97 \pm 0.04 M_\sun (PSR J1614-2230). We therefore conclude that the extension from SU(6) symmetry to SU(3) symmetry in the meson-baryon couplings and the internal baryon-structure variation in matter certainly enhance the mass of neutron star. Furthermore, the effects of the form factor at vertex and the Fock contribution including the tensor coupling due to the vector mesons are indispensable to describe the core matter. In particular, the Fock term is very vital in reproducing the preferable value of symmetry energy, a_4 (\simeq 30 - 40 MeV), in nuclear matter.
