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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

The first cool-down test of the 6 meter-long-cryomodules for superconducting rf test facility (STF) at KEK
KEK has been constructing the STF as the center of the ILC-R&D in Asia from 2005. In this construction, KEK developed two 6-m cryomodules in order to get manufacturing and operational experiences of the superconducting RF cavity and cryomodule toward the ILC. Two cryomodules were designed to accommodate 4 nine-cell cavities in each cryostat. At the first step, the cryomodules with one cavity were assembled and their cold tests were performed. And in the following test, the cryomodule with four cavities was reassembled and the cold test of this module is being carried out now. In this paper, we will report the design of the cryomodules briefly and the thermal results of the cold tests.

A New Design for A Super-Conducting Cavity Input Coupler
An attractive structure using capacitive coupling has been found for the input coupler for the 45 MV/m versions of the International Linear Collider (ILC) project. The coupler supports an electrical field gradient of ∼1 kV/m around the rf window ceramic with 500 kW through power, a VSWR of 1.1 and a frequency bandwidth of 460 MHz. No unwanted resonances were found in the rf window near the first and second harmonics of the operation frequency.

Upgrading of TRISTAN by superconducting RF system
The energy upgrade of TRISTAN by a superconducting RF system is progressing. Sixteen five-cell 508 MHz cavities made of niobium have been installed and started to operate in November 1988. Superconducting cavities have raised the energy of e/sup -/e/sup +/ to 30.4 GeV from 28.5 GeV with a normal conducting RF system. Construction, vertical tests, horizontal tests and three months of operational experience are described.<<ETX>>
