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.

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>>

Cavity Performances in the 1.3 GHz Saclay / KEK Nb Cavities
Three single-cell cavities, which had been tested at KEK, were sent t o Saclay in order to compare the cavity performance. Two cavities made f r om Japanese niobium materials were fabricated and tested at Saclay. These cavities were prepared by the Saclay's standard surface treatment. Quench field, quench location and RRR in the cavity were measured in each cav i ty test. Their changes due to additional surface removal and heat t reatment were investigated. Qo degradation without electrons at high fields was observed in every cavity test.

The Nolen-Schiffer anomaly and isospin symmetry breaking in nuclear matter
Abstract The quark-meson coupling model which we have developed previously is extended to incorporate the δ meson. It is then used to study the Nolen-Schiffer anomaly and isospin symmetry breaking in nuclear matter. We find that, in combination with the u - d mass difference, the difference between quark scalar densities in protons and neutrons generates an effective neutron-proton mass difference of the right magnitude. Finally we find that isospin symmetry breaking in the quark condensates can be directly related to the δ meson field.

Fermi matrix element with isospin breaking
Abstract Prompted by the level of accuracy now being achieved in tests of the unitarity of the CKM matrix, we consider the possible modification of the Fermi matrix element for the β -decay of a neutron, including possible in-medium and isospin violating corrections. While the nuclear modifications lead to very small corrections once the Behrends–Sirlin–Ademollo–Gatto theorem is respected, the effect of the u − d mass difference on the conclusion concerning V u d is no longer insignificant. Indeed, we suggest that the correction to the value of | V u d | 2 + | V u s | 2 + | V u b | 2 is at the level of 10 − 4 .

Meson mixing amplitudes in asymmetric nuclear matter
Abstract Using a purely hadronic model, we study the charge-symmetry-breaking ρ – ω , σ – δ , σ – ρ and δ – ω mixing amplitudes in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter. The basic assumption of the model is that the mixing amplitude is generated by nucleon and antinucleon loops and hence driven entirely by the difference between proton and neutron Fermi momenta and the proton–neutron mass difference. We find that the behavior of the mixing amplitude is very complicated in the spacelike region and quite sensitive to the proton fraction of nuclear medium and nuclear density. In particular, in neutron rich nuclei (like Pb) and/or neutron stars the mixing amplitudes become about 10∼100 times as large as those in typical mirror nuclei.

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 New type of RF cavity for high intensity proton synchrotron using high permeability magnetic alloy
A new type of rf accelerating cavity using a high-permeability magnetic alloy (MA) core is proposed for a highintensity hadron synchrotron. The prototype of a single-gap high gradient cavity whose total length is only 40cm is under development and a maximum rf voltage of 20kV has been obtained so far.
