Neutron Star Properties in the Chiral Quark–Meson Coupling Model
We study the properties of neutron stars using the chiral quark–meson coupling model, in which the quark–quark hyperfine interaction due to the exchanges of gluon and pion based on chiral symmetry is considered. We also examine the effects of hyperons and Δ-isobars in a neutron star. Extending the SU(6) spin-flavor symmetry to more general SU(3) flavor symmetry in the vector–meson couplings to baryons, the maximum mass of neutron star can reach the recently observed massive pulsar mass, $${1.97 \pm 0.04 M_{\odot}}$$. In this calculation, Λ and Ξ are generated in a neutron star, while Σ and Δ-isobars do not appear.

A new molecular dynamics calculation and its application to the spectra of light and strange baryons
A new approach based on antisymmetrized molecular dynamics is proposed to correctly take account of the many-body correlations. We applied it to the spectra of low-lying, light and strange baryons. The inclusion of the quark–quark correlation is important to predict the precise spectra, and the semi- relativistic kinematics is also vital to correct the level ordering. The baryon spectra calculated by the present method is as precise as the Faddeev calculation.

Composite nucleons in scalar and vector mean fields.
We emphasize that the composite structure of the nucleon may play quite an important role in nuclear physics. It is shown that the momentum-dependent repulsive force of second order in the scalar field, which plays an important role in Dirac phenomenology, can be found in the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, and that the properties of nuclear matter are well described through the quark-scalar density in a nucleon and a self-consistency condition for the scalar field. The difference between theories of pointlike nucleons and composite ones may be seen in the change of the {omega}-meson mass in nuclear matter if the composite nature of the nucleon suppresses contributions from nucleon-antinucleon pair creation.

The quark-meson coupling model and chiral symmetry
We extend the quark‐meson coupling (QMC) model to incorporate chiral symmetry. The relationship between the QMC model and chiral perturbation theory is also discussed. The nuclear central potential is modified by the effect of internal structure of the nucleon.

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.

New Scaling Phenomena in Nuclear Structure Functions
We consider the nuclear mass-number (A) dependence of the nuclear structure functions. We restrict ourselves to a two-component model, in which we assume the existence of an exotic component other than the normal nucleon component in nuclei. We find that there exist scaling phenomena and that the structure function of the exotic component should be independent of A. We also show that the A dependence of the nuclear structure function can be attributed to that of the surface-to-volume ratio which is incorporated in the probability of finding the exotic component in the nucleus.

Beam Loading Experiment with Short Bunched Electron Beams for New Type of Accelerating RF System of High Intensity Proton Synchrotron
Beam loading effects on rf system is one of the most difficult parts of high intensity proton synchrotrons. To investigate the effects, beam loading test experiment using an intense electron beam has been carried out. The wake voltages induced by an actual electron beam have been measured at an accelerating gap of an rf cavity. The electron beam used in the experiments was modulated with the frequency of about 3 MHz and the pulse width can be variable in due consideration of the circulating beam of the JHF synchrotrons. The maximum beam current is about 9 A. The beam loading compensation also has been tried.

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.

Optimization of the low loss SRF cavity for the ILC
The low-loss shape cavity design has been proposed as a possible alternative to the baseline TESLA cavity design for the ILC main linacs. The advantages of this design over the TESLA cavity are its lower cryogenic loss, and higher achievable gradient due to lower surface fields. High gradient prototypes for such designs have been tested at KEK (ICHIRO) and TJNAF (LL). However, issues related to HOM damping and multipacting still need to be addressed. Preliminary numerical studies of the prototype cavities have shown unacceptable damping factors for some higher-order dipole modes if the typical TESLA HOM couplers are directly adapted to the design. The resulting wakefield will dilute the beam emittance thus reducing the machine luminosity. Furthermore, high gradient tests on a 9-cell prototype at KEK have experienced multipacting barriers although a single LL cell had achieved a high gradient. From simulations, multipacting activities are found to occur in the end-groups of the cavity. In this paper, we will present the optimization results of the end-groups for the low-loss designs for effective HOM damping and alleviation of multipacting.

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.

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.
