Water Rinsing of The Contaminated Su perconducting RF Cavities
Evaluation tests of the water rinsing on the contaminated superconducting cavities were conducted with high pressure water rinsing (HPR) and megasonic rinsing (MSR). It made sure HPR eliminates very effectively the surface contamination. MSR is just started, but the preliminary result seems that it is useful to reduce the field emission over than Eacc = 25 MY 1m. The quality of rinsing water was also investigated. Filtered pure water looks to be usable instead of ultrapure water.

A New Material Evaluation Method on Niobium by Magnetization Measurement
As a new evaluation method for the material defects or surface contamination of niobium, we have tried magnetization measurement using very small niobium samples. We could see the hyst~resis curve varied depending on the sample's history. This method has a high sensitivity. Th~ m.f1uence ?y surface treatments was observed on the hysteresis curve; annealing, chemical p~hshmg, Q-dlsease due to hydrogen etc .. In this paper we will report several study results by this method.

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.

Activities on Superconducting Cavities at TOSHIBA
Abstructs R&D activities on superconducting cavities at TOSHIBA are presented. Two L-band single-cell niobium cavities and an L-band three-cell structure were fabricated in our company and measured at KEK. The maximum field gradient of Eacc,max>30MV/m in both single-cell cavities and Eacc,max =18MV/m in the three-cell structure were attained respectively. An optimization study on the annealing temperature for the hydrogen Q-disease is reported. R&D of hydroforming to fabricate seamless cavities is also presented.

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.

Clustering structure of nuclei in deep inelastic processes
A clustering aspect is explained for the 9Be nucleus in charged-lepton deep inelastic scattering. Nuclear modifications of the structure function F2 are studied by the ratio REMC = FA2/FD2, where A and D are a nucleus and the deuteron, respectively. In a JLab experiment, an unexpectedly large nuclear modification slope |dREMC/dx| was found for 9 Be, which could be related to its clustering structure. We investigated a mean conventional part of a nuclear structure function FA2 by a convolution description with nucleon momentum distributions calculated by antisymmetrized (or fermionic) molecular dynamics (AMD) and also by a simple shell model. We found that clustering effects are small in the conventional part, so that the JLab result could be associated with an internal nucleon modification or a short-range nuclear correlation which is caused by high densities due to cluster formation.

Properties of dense, asymmetric nuclear matter in Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach
Within the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach, using the Bonn potentials, we investigate the properties of dense, asymmetric nuclear matter and apply it to neutron stars. In the actual calculations of the nucleon self-energies and the energy density of matter, we study in detail the validity of an angle-averaged approximation and an averaging of the total momentum squared of interacting two-nucleons in nuclear matter. For practical use, we provide convenient parametrizations for the equation of state for symmetric nuclear matter and pure neutron matter. We also parametrize the nucleon self-energies in terms of polynomials of nucleon momenta. Those parametrizations can accurately reproduce the numerical results up to high densities.
