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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

RF SYSTEMS FOR JHF SYNCHROTRONS
Based on the measurements of the magnetic cores and R&D works, MA(Magnetic Alloy)-loaded cavity will be adopted for the RF cavity of JHF 50 GeV Main Ring and 3 GeV Booster. Because of high stability at large RF amplitude, high gradient of acceleration voltage (>50 kV/m) is available. By a test cavity, 2.5 kV/core has been already achieved in the CW operation using one MA core of 2.5 cm thickness. For the pulse operation, 5.5 kV/core has been obtained. Another advantage is that the system does not require the tuning system because of the cavity band width is wide enough to cover the RF frequency. A stability analysis shows that the RF system without the tuning loop has wider stable region than high Q cavity system with the loop. A multi-particle simulation shows that the RF system is also stable for the periodic transient and the RF bucket distortion. However, the distortion should be corrected when the Q value of the cavity is low (Q<2).

Higher-Order-Mode Damping of L-Band Superconducting Cavity Using A Radial-Line HOM Damper
For the energy recovery linacs, strong damping of higher-order-modes (HOMs) is indispensable to avoid beam breakup instabilities. We studied a new HOM damping scheme using a radial-line HOM damper with a choke structure. Both models of the radial-line damper and the TESLA-type 9-cell cavity were prepared and the HOM characteristics of this scheme were experimentally investigated. Measurement results showed a promising performance of the radial-line HOM damper.

Damage test for International Linear Collider positron generation target at KEKB
ILC (International Linear Collider) is aiming to conduct electron-positron collisions at 1 TeV center-ofmass energy. One bunch train will contain up to 2800 3.2 nC bunches with a 308 ns bunch spacing or 5600 1.6 nC bunches with a 154 ns spacing. The bunch-train length will be 0.9 ms. Because of this extremely large amount of beam in a train, serious damage to a positron production target driven by 6 GeV incident electron beam is of concern. As the ILC positron source, several different methods have been proposed. The target hardness is a key point concerning the selection. In this article, we report on a test experiment to examine the target hardness by using a stored electron beam in KEKB HER (High Energy Ring). The project name is IPPAK (ILC Positron Project At KEKB). By manipulating the abort kicker, a condition similar to that of the ILC positron production target can be reproduced. The experiment was carried out on June 29 and 30, 2005. The target was seriously damaged under the heaviest condition (KEKB mode), but the damage was less and nothing for those of the ILC mode. Possible impacts to the ILC positron production scheme are also discussed.

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.

Hydrogen Absorption in Electropolishing of Niobium
Electropolishing process had been considered to cause hydrogen absorption that could result in hydrogen Q‐disease in niobium superconducting RF cavities. Recently, however, we found that hydrogen Q‐disease did not always occur in a L‐band niobium RF cavity treated by continuous electropolishing (EP) only. We consider mechanical grinding as a very powerful method to eliminate surface defects. Therefore, our surface treatment process is a combination of mechanical grinding and EP. We developed a simple and fast mechanical grinding method, centrifugal barrel polishing method (CBP), as the pre‐treatment for the EP. We applied a combination of CBP and EP to a L‐band niobium cavity and found the result showing a heavy hydrogen Q‐disease. We found out that hydrogen absorption occurred during the CBP, and the absorbed hydrogen came from the water used during the CBP. Hence, we replaced the water by a liquid without hydrogen as its component. As the result, we successfully prevented hydrogen absorption in the CBP....
